Dropped a bombshell? More like dropped some water in the ocean. This is obvious to anyone not burying their head in the sand.

Not on this side of the great information rift, no. But think of the people imprisoned inside the MAGA echo chamber. For them this may be news, and MJT and Rogan do have the potential to pierce the walls of their "conservative" media rubber rooms just enough for some fresh air to come through.
Wait, the orange child rapist doesn't want the files of -just some of- those child rapes to be released? No way. Say it ain't so!!
Why would Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIEND who FINGER RAPED CHILDREN try to Protect Jeffrey Epstein?
-Republicans who Do Their Own Research TM!
My favorite part of MTG turning on her friends is that it is all in response to being told she won't be endorsed as a Senate candidate by the GOP. If she can't have her fiefdom then no one can.
That's the thing about authoritarians: they attract authoritarian followers (thought not exclusively). If the authoritarian at the top fails to recognize those of their followers that have the same traits and give them enough of a "fiefdom" to rule, then they betray. It's one of the things that makes fully authoritarian rule fragile (most long-term successful dictators ensure they give enough power to the right people under them).
First Rule of Fascism: You can piss off your citizens, you can piss off your staff, but you absolutely cannot piss off your military leaders. They actually hold the power, and would have no problem just shooting you in the face, if the situation was dire enough.
Also, friendly reminder than Stalin died a horrible and painful death because he told his guards to not disturb him, and he lied there in a pool of his own piss until most of the day was gone. Extreme punishments for breaches of protocol come with a cost.
Or have them executed.
Sorry folks.. MAGA will NOT be WOKE. MTG has already been tossed, shredded and labeled misfit by king pedophile himself.
Keep dreamin'.
I appreciate that this is in the "not the onion" community. Woman makes common sense statement! Bombshell news!
Now that's a take on this news. Wow.
I mean, the woman was MTG. More accurately, woman who believes in Jewish space lasers that control the weather makes common sense statement! Bombshell news!
sigh... Fair.
I wonder if that was her playing her character.
This is what people don't get about the world around them. Everybody likes to point at laugh at WWE and say "THAT SHIT IS SOOOOOO FAKE!!!!" as if it's audience is unaware.
I like to point at the government and say WWE is more real than the fake shit called "politics". The difference is, most people think politics is real.
Just like how people in the early 2000s people thought Paris Hilton was a dumb blond bimbo. She went to HARVARD!!! But she played a character of a dumb blonde bimbo on tv. So now people think it's real.
Humans are dumb.

And how were people meant to tell she was smart?
It's not like she did shit with that fancy degree
