Unlike the traitor Magic The Gathering, I clap for Zelensky and the black lotus card.
Putin has deployed Pot of Greed, despite international banning of this card.
Sending them to the Shadow Realm, one polonium cocktail at a time. :putin-wink:
I live right next door to her district and work in her district.
This guy has absolutely no chance. Way too racist, and putting on a cowboy hat isn't gonna make them think you're "one of the good ones" (ugh).
As embarrassing as MTG is, a fuckton of the people I've worked for have said the exact same loony toons stuff she says to me, at work. Like it was common conversation stuff. She genuinely is representative of the people here and that's the saddest part.
The only way out is the carpet industry normally is pretty close with republicans, so they can get away with dumping chemicals legally here (crazy high cancer rates, and why I try to only drink my well water here). So because MTG was kicked off of the committees she's basically worthless to them, so she might be done simply because of that. Carpet runs this area, by far the main industry here that basically everyone works in or supports the workers in it.
Hearing about local politics being dominated by Carpet industry is leading me to ponder what other districts are being completely subsumed by micro-industries.
I like to imagine that the point you're trying to make is that the Carpet Industry actually controls everything.
Sry late reply but it's a pretty huge industry. Like the entire northwest of the state of Georgia is dedicated to entirely carpet production. It's literally where much of the carpet worldwide comes from. It's a big business and I'd bet you'd find a lot of America has similar things. Like the auto industry that used to exist in the Midwest. They only reason the carpet industry hasn't entirely moved overseas is because they can get away with paying unbelievably low wages here for a very complex job, hell they used to bus in Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants just so they could pay them less than minimum wage.
Your reply made me do a bit of googling, and it led me to this absolutely wonderful publication / website. Apparently there is a floor-covering weekly magazine :che-smile: https://www.floorcoveringweekly.com/main/features/why-northwest-georgia-27768
Lol there's way more than that. I remember when I was 19 I got one of my designs on the front page biggest industry mag (textile world iirc).
You'd think that would be an easy win with a portfolio but nope. The biggest requirement to survive here seems to be if you're a right wing nutcase, which I am not. Sry just pissed about that and a few other things
It honestly brought me back to the earlier days of the internet, when it wasn't just 4 big content-aggregators.
They're often small business goons who got their hooks into the MIC.
So they've got oodles of mailbox money and endless free time to indulge in these vanity campaigns.
46,000 likes means that he’s gonna lose for sure libs love to
cheer fordonate to a hopeless cause in a state far away from where they actually live
She's gonna have an ad where she mows down a flower garden with a machine gun isn't she?
I googled and this article was a top result..
archive.today • The Murky Past of Congressional Candidate Marcus Flowers | The New Republic
The war veteran turned politician, who hopes to challenge Marjorie Taylor Greene, has revealed little about his life. We tried to find out why.
[...]
It's not clear why he refuses even to name his previous employers—he's mentioned the Department of Defense and Department of State but not any private contractors. That can be fixed now: According to a work history found online and later confirmed by his campaign, Flowers worked for DynCorp, a massive defense contractor that, last year, was purchased by a company called Amentum. He also worked at lesser-known contractors like the Research Triangle Institute and Parsons I&T. (A representative from Amentum refused to comment on whether Flowers ever worked for DynCorp.)
In the 2000s, Flowers ran his own small firm called Total Logistics Services, or Total Logistics, Inc. Registered in New Orleans and Alabama, the business appears to be defunct. It earned tens of thousands in contracts during the George W. Bush years, largely for translation services performed in Romania.
Total Logistics Services was also required to pay back thousands of dollars to the Army, for reasons that are unclear in the available online contracting data, but such clawbacks can occur for various reasons, including if not all work is fulfilled. (According to Flowers's campaign, "Total Logistics Services never received any disbursements under any contract that were later paid back.")
Reached for comment by phone, Katja Wimmer, who's named as a partner in Total Logistics Services' business filings and apparently once shared a home with Flowers, was surprised to learn that Flowers was running for Congress. After agreeing to an interview to take place the next day, Wimmer did not respond to further calls and messages.
[...]
[He had a] tumultuous marriage to his ex-wife, a Russian national named Svetlana Chudinova whom he met in Afghanistan.
[...]
Friends and former colleagues of Flowers declined to speak on the record. While some of the grim details of Flowers's former marriage have been confirmed by court records, much remains unknown about his personal and work history. It remains exceedingly strange that this deep state–like figure would expect to step into public life without opening his past to scrutiny.
But if Donald Trump showed anything, it's that today's politicians can get away with far more than one might expect. It just takes some bravado, an indifference to consequence, and an ability tell a compelling story that your audience—in this case, Democratic Party machers hoping that there's a magic kind of candidate who can evict Marjorie Taylor Greene from a deep-red district—wants to believe.
It's a pretty ordinary Russian surname. In a twist of nominative determinism, Valery Chudinov is a well-known chud and conspirologist, infamous for finding "Old Russian inscriptions" on pretty much everything.
it’s that today’s politicians can get away with far more than one might expect. It just takes some bravado, an indifference to consequence, and an ability tell a compelling story
So in short the Dems cant rely on this at all
Making the woman that will go on a workplace shooting spree look like the smaller evil
Lmao what kind of delusions does one need to obtain in order to think that the people who voted for her despite all her racism and conspiracy theories will be shocked and angry by the fact she doesn’t support Ukraine?
In a district that normally turns out 230k voters and swings 70/30 Republican, MTG turned out 230k just for her ballot and spread her margin by an extra five points in a 300k election. In a district with only 450k registered voters, you couldn't beat on your best day.
People really do love her, believe in her, and support her because she's feeding up the kind of red meat that her peers only pretend at.
"Marjorie Taylor Greene is an embarrassment to the people of Georgia. It’s time to bring sanity back to this seat!" holy shit he can't really think actually saying restoring sanity makes you look good right?
Surely they realize everyone ignores you once youve said this, right?
yes, i'm sure he's trying to win republicans with this tweet (those who you think would be offended i guess), not just give red meat to his msnbc watching base.
come on bro.
The lack of Magic The Gathering jokes regarding this woman is saddening. I thought the TCG lefties would bring the comedy out of this one. “MTG” is just a dumb three clone of “AOC” and it shows
Every southern election from now on is going be some form of:
Wan on wine mom vs former military sociopath who somehow raises millions of dollars in 3 days and looses by 70%
She probably didnt because she's an anti-semite though. Remember the space laser shit.
Potato, potatoe. All that matters is she's targeting the deep state.
:PIGPOOPBALLS:
No. We do not stan fascists for using fascist rhetoric. Like, you know that when these Q turds talk about the deep state, they mean Jews and "woke" people, right? No one actually expects them to take on actual power in Washington, it's all keyfabe.
oh no! now he will lose all his potential constituents who are pro-putin/anti-nato. DOE else thinks he's an idiot/paid to lose??!??!!?!
