This is the latest example of family values from the so-called America First party, right? One needs a dance card to keep up with their shenanigans. p.s. Luckily, November is right around the corner and maybe the people of her district will “divorce” her. ---

While I’d consider many aspects of MGT more or less evil, her husband finally having nothing more to do with her would list about number 19 or 20 in “evil” stuff she’s done on my list. YMMV. ---

Based on what I’ve read, the doctrine is that if divorce happens it’s the woman’s fault. If the man strays its because the woman wasn’t attentive enough to his needs. It is her duty to stand by her man, accept her failings, and redouble her efforts to help him through this difficult time. If the woman strays she is a slutty harlot who has violated her godly oaths that represented her sole purpose on this earth. Not a good look for Greene. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > If the woman strays she is a slutty harlot who has violated her godly oaths that represented her sole purpose on this earth. Not a good look for Greene. It’s ok for a Republican elected official to do it because God anointed her or hates liberals or something. ---

DeSantis really is a tool. I know Biden sent the aid, it’s the Democratic thing to do. But f$^k Ron. DeSantis - Thumbs nose at feds during CoVid, hates Biden, spends millions on “political stunts”, then has hand out for federal emergency money. _"Critics have noted that among **DeSantis’ first acts after being elected to Congress in November 2012 was to join 66 Republican colleagues and vote against a government aid package for victims of Hurricane Sandy, which killed more than 100 as it devastated north-eastern states."** _ Bolding mine. > **[DeSantis’s pleas for hurricane aid raise hackles amid vast partisan divide](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/01/desantis-hurricane-ian-aid-disaster-relief-florida)** > > The Florida governor passes the hat for disaster relief. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > DeSantis - Thumbs nose at feds during CoVid, hates Biden, spends millions on “political stunts”, then has hand out for federal emergency money. The evil part of me–which I really do try to squelch–thought, “Hey, the total amount of aid proffered should’ve been the amount he asked for _ **minus** _ the amount he spent on his stupid stunts”. But that would be wrong. Funny as Hell, but still wrong. ---
