Marjorie Taylor Greene won her Georgia Congressional District with a whopping 74.6% of the vote.

Here she is submitting to government tyranny and hiding her strong Native American features behind a mask.

People like this are the beginning of the end of the democratic system in America.

Also, too, random economic stuff:

It's unfortunate that today in the U.S. the political banter has become "your guy's/party's blunders are worse than my guy's/party's blunders."

It's a sickening game of one-upmanship that shows nothing positive, and strives to sweep the current administration's deficiencies under the rug.

Yellen Warns of ‘Catastrophic’ Consequences From Debt Limit Breach https://nyti.ms/3zNPPU3

Now what's this all about, just the normal American political wranglings or something potentially bad? I see the git before biden had ever increasing deficits and looks like debt ceiling was increased then too without much problem?... Default certainly sounds pretty bad, could well just be the normal fun and games though.

Every time the debt limit needs to be raised they have a pantomime. Happens no matter who is in office or controls the House or Senate or whatever.

It works and is a good read but I really hope they are wrong with their dramatic article.

I wonder when all this "It's the previous guy's fault" shit started.

Former Guy used to blame Obama for everything but the weather.

Current Guy now blames Former Guy (mostly deserved, but what the hell) for just about everything also.

Don't remember if Obama blamed Georgie W about everything... but it seems that's just the norm nowadays.

No mistakes made by the incumbent in the eyes of his followers.

Just a lot of blame to throw around at the previous WH tenant.

So pointless....

They are not wrong. America is on a glide path for this to happen. If it doesn't happen with Trump it'll happen with one of the Trump impersonators who follow him. If Trump actually runs in 2024 and if he's still breathing he will then he either wins outright and puts loyalists in charge of the DOJ, FBI, army and every other major institution and basically creates a system where the GOP win every election or he loses and the states that have changed their laws to allow them to override the will of the voters do just that. Democracy doesn't have long left to go in America.
