Everyone is making fun but MTG is just using RICO the way 75% of y’all motherfuckers do to mean “BAD!!!1!”

MTG Claims Georgia Prosecutor Is 'Guilty of' RICO Crimes, Not Trump

The congresswoman called the indictments against Trump “pure communism” and part of a “giant collaboration basically to affect the 2024 election”

@Popehat So easy, even a cavewoman can say it
@Popehat it’s actually just one big RICO conspiracy by us to drive you crazy.
@Popehat
So when are you going to sell "Its not RICO* (*its not RICO does not apply in Georgia)" T-shirts?

"BLAKEY: Organized crime was the occasion for the enactment of the statute, but it applies to any person. For example, when Michael Milken was operating Drexel Burnham by a pattern of fraud on Wall Street, the statute applied to him just as it did when Vito Genovese was applying his trade over on Mulberry Street in New York. So it applies to all God's children."

@Popehat Well, she's involved in organized crime herself, so that's not too surprising.
@Popehat From “no puppet, no puppet” to “no RICO, no RICO, you’re the RICO!”
@Popehat

We know better. We're just trying to get your goat

Goat bleating sounds
@Popehat Marge has more segments in her hooves than IQ points, so... 🤷
@dkbgeek @Popehat don't be perissodactylist!
@Popehat I miss the swear jar from ATPL for the hilarity of it all, but I like 'swearing Ken' because it seems like the most authentic you.

@Popehat

It looks like #MTG'S caught that pure strain of #TrumpVirus, whose symptoms include #projection, #displacement (Freud's terms) & especially totaL disconnection from reality.

She usually settles for a stew of delusions + #disinformation in her #WordSalad gibberish, making sure to hit the main notes for the dog whistles...

Now the prosecutors are guilty and the guilty are the Holy President, in her world...

That's mighty dangerous 'thinking' for a "Representative" of sane folk.

@Popehat sadly, the "I know you are but what am I defense" is unbeatable in our system of justice. We might as well grant summary motion to dismiss with prejudice.
@Popehat But she's wrong and no one cares what she thinks, so it's got to be terribly frustrating to her...

@Popehat I'm reminded of when "Fake News" largely meant Facebook posts that were BS (Denzel Washington announces he supports TFG), and then TFG started saying "No fake news! Fake News is CNN!"

They just change words to whatever makes them mad...

@Popehat I miss when straight up “no u” and/or openly accusing someone of a specific crime was seen by the public at large as a disqualification for office
@Popehat Shut your mouth! Ain't nothing "BAD" about RICO!!
@Popehat “The congresswoman called the indictments against Trump "pure communism””.
She seems completely unaware that words have meanings.

@PatrickFromFW @Popehat You know that thing that hippos do with their poop and their tails?

MTG and words of more than one syllable. Same thing.

@Popehat

They smoke some strange Kool-aid.

@Popehat Ah yes, MAGA's weapon of choice. The peewee maneuver. You could make a drinking game out of it.
@Popehat Her response comes down to "no u". Does she qualify for a brain transplant yet?
@Popehat every time I see a Tweet (X) linked in an article on a page with a shit ton of pop ups like there are on Rolling Stone's website, I have the urge to click on the X to close it along with the rest of the obnoxious advertising. Must remember to use reader mode when I go to RS next time.
@Popehat
I almost wish she was born and living in the UK, because she’d have been sued for defamation so many times, she’d be a liability for any political party, and would probably find her natural position in life, shouting at people in pubs.
@Popehat All Hands on the Bad!!!1! is my favorite Sleater-Kinney album.
@Popehat But can anyone shout "It's RICO!" to a group of court officers for potentially colluding to increase the font size in a Georgia courthouse?
@Popehat But, but Rico is bad…
@Popehat shoes where she hide her black shoes
@Popehat and MGT like a dog bark a lot.
@Popehat RICO doesn't mean "BAD!!!1!." It means "BAD!!!1! with friends."
