I have a dark fantasy, wherein our world is somehow blown up in a nuclear holocaust and becomes a bright, blazing cinder in space, glowing radioactively for many centuries to come. And in this fantasy, future civilizations are wondering, “Who were they? What happened to them?” And TV broadcasts from 2023 will — at the time I’m thinking of, some 50,000 years in the future — have reached a civilized world that many lightyears away in the galaxy.
And this is what they will see. This is what they will know about us.
Holy sh*t this encounter is amazing, and Marjorie Taylor Greene just proved in real time she doesn’t understand how Goverment works.
MTG: we’ll I posted them on my Twitter account.
FBI Director: I don’t spend a lot of time on Twitter.
MTG: Oh I’m sure you do, because the e… pic.twitter.com/TI3I2kr2Zu

The rest of the tweet reads, “because the Department of Homeland Security, organized with other offices has censored many Americans including myself
FBI Director: I’m not part of the Department of Homeland Security.
MTG: Right.”
She doesn’t know. She has no idea. The pure comedy in this is that Marge thinks she’s on top of this situation and she’s telling off the Director of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation and he’s laughing at her — and not just inwardly, you can tell that he’s thinking how ridiculous this encounter is, even though he’s being professional and polite.
But it all sails right over Marge’s head. She thinks she’s the one in control here. So you know what survey we’re going to have now, right class?
- Who is more stupid? Marge or Bobo?
Now Marge is making a complete ass of herself with Christopher Wray, but then again, she’s not vaping and groping during a theatrical performance. So does that elevate her above Bobo?
Interesting how being a member of Congress is now an entry level job. We have not only Marge but Bobo, high school dropout and former Burger King employee. At least Marge went to college. What she learned there is not readily apparent but at least she sat in the chairs and got a piece of parchment for it, we can give her credit for that much.
This next piece is classic. This has to be seen to be believed.
This is GREAT:
Marjorie Taylor Greene tries to age-shame Rep Rosa DeLauro, who promptly gives her a "basic lesson in civics."

You believe that? DeLauro is getting dissed simply for being 80 years of age, when DeLauro knows how government works and again, Green doesn’t? Wow.
What an amazing thing to see government turned into a PR job. A right-wing media PR job at that and staffed by morons.
Well, it could be worse. In fact it has been. Don’t forget that Trump thought he could issue foreign policy directives to State Dept. diplomats around the world, or order troop deployments including sending troops into harm’s way via his twitter account! I’d have not at all enjoyed being one of the people who had to explain to him that no, things like that require formal “paperwork”, actual carefully drafted written orders. But that’s how this new crop of Republicans believe things work. If it’s said/posted on social media it’s the law. At least if they are the ones posting it.
I rather doubt the aliens in Galaxy Quest would have become so impressed by the “historical documents” they modelled what was left of their civilization on if those “documents” were C-SPAN instead of what we know to a a “good guys win even against impossible odds” science fiction show!
That’s also why they can’t actually even write a law. They are incompetent.
I think that’s good news. 🙂
There are seven magic words for when Repubs spew inane BS and are called on it.
“I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.”
Careful, these fools are supported by people who must be stupider than they are. Those folks would, I’m sure, come away with this message: “Biden told me to vote for this repub candidate”. We’re asking people who put profound ignoramuses into high political office to understand irony. That would be a heavy, perhaps impossible, lift for them.
True, Spike. But the geniuses who craft President Biden’s ads leave no ambiguity. They choose statements that (unintentionally) complement the president. The wording is provably never manipulated. The messages convey the good things this president is doing for you.
People who would twist an ad like that to mean that the president is endorsing their candidate, not the message, are people who would never vote for this president anyway.
People who hear, really hear that their candidate thinks that (anything good that that this administration has done that affects them) is a bad thing are persuadable.
Ok…we heard from tweedle dee…where’s tweedle dumb? Probably at a show with a Democrat. As far as humpty dumpy goes…I was thankful he didn’t drop a nuke on new Mexico for crossing the border into Boboland.
Thanks congresswoman Delauro for clearly demonstrating an 80 year old is more cognizant of reality than ms Ed,(wiillllbburrr!), who is much younger.
Not only is MTG pathetically stupid, but she is also arrogant. What this serial adulteress is implying here is that Christopher Wray is uninformed because HE is not following HER Twitter/X account. What a joke.
Her ex doesn’t either. I’m sure he’s sick of that bag of skin, full of offal, with a howler monkey mouth.
