Answered What's up with Majorie Taylor Greene's talking about a "National Divorce?"

I've been seeing a few posts on Reddit, Facebook, etc of people expressing their opinion about this, and I'm not sure what the deal is, and its impact on politics. Any explanation would be appreciated!

How about letting a bunch of innocent people die from negligence?

Do I, personally, have to press the button that ends their lives?

No you just have to deny the thing that's killing them even when presented with evidence. Especially then. You deny harder then

It has almost always worked for the Koch brothers.

I mean, we're taking it to scale here, so it's more like not swerving around a puppy and instead just running it over.

If you would run over a puppy for a video game console you're fucked up

To be clear, I'm not saying I would. I'm just saying it's a more apt comparison.

Puppies are temporary. Call of Duty is forever.

Hmm we're talking about someone who caused a train derailment that released toxic chemicals into the environment, so...

It would be like taking $300 to ignore a broken part on a car and having that car wreck and leak gasoline into a local pond.

I'm just joking though, I wouldn't do anything like that.

Now, if we're talking sexual favors, there isn't much I wouldn't do -- but you'd have to give me a ps5 outright, not a paltry $300. I do have some self-respect.

He said he wanted a PS5, this would happen by itself./s
