Now see, when I was growing up, if your odor was so offensive it made people want to fight you, it was way past time to take a shower. With soap preferentially. I don’t think that part has changed much over the years. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > I watched the video of that encounter several times and this is outright propagandist tripe – warnings were shouted and she actively climbed into the broken window. Yes it is. And it doesn’t matter. She entered a barricaded door. For her to be pushed through, she had to be trying to get through. She didn’t accidentally get pushed in by a crowd, or bumped in by security. It’s not like somebody picked her up and shoved her through just because she was standing there. As for warnings, the barricade is the warning. ---

We’ve all been there; you’re crowd surfing at a concert, and the next you know you’re dropped right at the very front of a crowd of rioters pushing through police and barricades. ETA: And indeed “dropped” upwards through a window, while officers repeatedly tell you to stop. ---

It’s really hard to believe that Greene is that stupid. But then think about all her bullshit. Yes, yes it is possible to be that stupid. Same goes for Babbit. If the AG is dumb enough (she probably is) to try to prosecute, I would love to be on the jury. Justice must prevail. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > It’s really hard to believe that Greene is that stupid. But then think about all her bullshit. Yes, yes it is possible to be that stupid. There is a thought nagging in the back of my mind that she _isn’t_ that dumb, that she knows her constituents _are_ that dumb, and that she spouts a lot of bullshit at public speeches to play to her crowd (so we have a ton of sound bytes of her sounding stupid), but that she’s smart enough not to actually believe in Jewish Space Lazers and such. ---

> [@Dr.Winston\_OBoogie](#): > > There is a thought nagging in the back of my mind that she _isn’t_ that dumb, that she knows her constituents _are_ that dumb… I don’t think it’s quite that, ether, although I’m thinking along the same lines. My thought is that it’s more of kind of loyalty test. Like the ‘stollen’ election narrative. Somewhere there’s a quote that says that once someone can get you to believe the unbelievable, they can get you to take unthinkable actions. The MAGA crowd doesn’t have an option to believe the 2020 election was on the up-and-up. If they believed that it wasn’t stolen, then the J6 riot wasn’t justifiable, which means Trump is guilty of insurrection (or at least, sedition) and the Dems and RINOs were correct. So, they don’t have any problem re-electing him even in light of his pathetic record as a leader. ---
