Anyone Have Dr. Dre Temporarily Shutting Down MTG’s Twitter On Their 2023 Bingo Card?
A cringe video Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Greene was temporarily locked out of her account after rapper Dr. Dre, also known as Andre Young, took legal action against the Republican for using one of his biggest hits without his permission.
One of the best stories I have seen lately to elicit a laugh. Go on MTG, take Dre on. Bwahahahahaha!
Twitter shows the snarky letter his lawyer sent her and one of the best Twitter responders refers to MTG as 'Marge'. This falls in the 'you can't make this shit up' column.
I love this so much.
There’s an old saw that says you should never start an argument with people who buy printer’s ink by the barrel.
An updated version for MTG might be to never steal from a musician who can buy lawyers by the bus load.

So the first move by the GOP house is to protect tax dodgers and their billionaire donors.

They just botched their shot at installing their man as king. Ofc they need to protect the money and their coconspirators.

Of course, it's doomed to fail once it hits the senate. Just as their coconspirators may have to face the music if the DOJ decides to pursue them.

To be fair, they’ve never really tried to hide their agenda - hate women, poor people, non-whites, and the non-binary. Love the wealthy and corrupt. Have the fiscal responsibility of meth addict with a winning lottery ticket.
Quelle suprise.

I think calling it an agenda is high praise. It's more a set of ill-defined prejudices working in concert.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

They care about fetuses not children and they only care about those because there attached to a demographic they want to control.

Or maybe they "care" about fetuses because it is the cheapest politics there is. Caring for fetuses costs politicians nothing: it costs a politician nothing to force someone to bring the pregnancy to full term; politicians don't have to think up some financial plans or put aside any money for fetuses because the fetus lives inside the woman's body.
And the "best" part of this "pro-life" politics is that they can hide their own political incompetence, greed, and other criminal deeds behind it - all they have to do is talk about abortions, accuse democrats that they are against life and they can get very creative like comparing abortions to the holocaust. And when they come to power they can rob people blind as long as they yell about abortions all the time and how there would be a holocaust of the unborn if they were not in power.
