Just ask her Beetlejuice date.

Trickle Down Economics is like a magic trick where instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, you put a million dollars in a rich guy's pocket.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a fitness enthusiast and/or circus sideshow that somehow cobbled together enough votes to go to DC, a place she hates, to do a job she doesn't understand. Her political style could best be summed up as ‘being strong at being wrong' and, good Lord, she's wrong about nearly everything. But this firecracker from Georgia is ready to take on Congress, the swamp, DC pizza parlors, mouthy teenagers, masks, Muslims, her peers, and her own biceps and lats, which must be dying from those stupid kipping pullups. 2:34 – Marjorie Taylor Greene finds the grass is greener where people are poorer. 4:12 – She goes to war with masks, because they hide her radiant and cheerful disposition. 7:28 – She goes to war with Jewish space lasers then Muslims because why not? 9:22 – Marjorie Taylor Greene believes in weird conspiracies. Surprised? 11:07 – She goes to war with teenage shooting victims. 13:23 – She makes out with Q-ANON, lets Q get to second base on first date. 15:04 – She goes to war with her other Republicans. 16:39 – An examination of Marjorie Taylor Greene's sex appeal (it's there y'all!); also anger, rage. 18:49 – A strong and bold conclusion by the smart and wonderful narrator. #expelgreene #trump #maga #qanon #boycottgeorgia #MarjorieTaylorGreeneIsUnfit #jewishspacelasers

The 2021 Texas Blizzard was actually several storms, hitting the Lone Star State in mid-February. The snowstorm itself was a natural event, of course- but the disastrous results were entirely man-made. Winterization of the Texas' power grid (or lack thereof) was a problem that had been ignored for years by hucksters, charlatans and dipshit politicians. Weak control over the Texas energy industry was granted to random folks, many of whom didn't even live in the state. Meanwhile, those folks who *did* live in Texas? They were freezing their ass off. Governor Greg Abbott bravely responded by encouraging residents to go figure it out on their own, while Senator Ted Cruz decided to travel to Cancun for a rather expensive sleepover with his family. In total, the political and moral failures of state government compounded the suffering for Texas residents as scores of them died due to freezing temperatures. Dumb people with terrible ideas? The 2021 Texas Winter Storm had these folks a-plenty, pardner. 1:10 – Brief history of energy policies in Texas prior to the storm. 4:44 – The Texas Winter Storm arrives, kicks Texas ass, smiles for camera, and kicks it again. 6:37 – Shit gets real in the land of the Lone-Star. 8:38 – Senator Ted Cruz gets Mexican take-out; picks up the food himself. 11:26 - The Electrical Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, is terrible and dumb. 13:40 - Governor Greg Abbott hates Bing, thinks solar energy is kinda gay and/or stupid. 15:39 – Strong, beautiful and concise conclusion by the handsome narrator. #tedcruz #conservative #texas #houston #dallas #austintx
