Flying SquidMarjorie Taylor Greene May Have Sent Hunter Biden Nudes to a Bunch of Minors
RojoSanIchibanAs the article states, the inclusion of the nudes in the newsletter allows a very clear path for criminal charges in D.C. and Georgia under their respective revenge porn legislation. She should receive charges for both.
In any sane world, a member of congress would be immediately expelled for presenting literal nudes, without permission and in bad faith, of a sitting POTUS’ family member, who is not, nor has ever been a member of the administration or government employee.
Congratulations to Vladimir Putin and the CCP, as your work to dismantle the U.S. through propaganda and mainstreaming batshit tinfoil-hat insanity through promoting these ridiculous, unserious elected officials like Greene, Paul, Jordan, Comer, Gaetz, Santos, et al, has been incredibly effective.
SynchromeThe damage is beyond the US borders, unfortunately. All this crap is spreading all over the world. Most of the presidential candidates in my country are talking about dismantling the government, blowing up buildings, etc. I’m queer and they’ve been talking about undoing LGBT+ laws, so I’m both pissed and terrified. One of the candidates wants to imitate the US when it comes to the 2A, so I think if it comes to that, I’ll arm myself.
Tankish, as in the medieval N African Kingdom of Tankish?
In case it’s not a joke: nah. They’re a bit too friendly with Russia and China, is what I meant.
It was a joke because that’s the only definition I could find for “Tankish,” but I didn’t actually think that was the hat you meant. Never heard of it at all nor could I find any reference to it describing friendliness with the 2nd world. Any idea of the etymology and/or where you picked up the term?
This is just speculation because it hasn’t been explained definitively to me, but my assumption is that it refers to the Tiananmen square video where it was one dude vs a column of tanks and tankies are people supporting the column of tanks side of that conflict.
And from there it evolved to mean anyone supporting the Chinese or Russian authoritarian regimes. It might apply more broadly to anyone supporting a regime that uses brutal dissent breaking tactics, though in the west it might apply to situations specifically involving that brutality (France, Britain, and USA have all recently used some brutal tactics, though none of them have deployed tanks to settle a protest/riot that I’m aware of).
And just to repeat, that’s my current best guess as to the specific meaning of the term, I could be entirely wrong.
Tankie is a term British communists used against other British communists who didn’t oppose the USSR invading Hungary in 1956. These days its pretty much any Marxist-Leninist.
It comes from tankie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
