A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In a way MTG is an inspiration to all. She's proof that even the dumbest, most wretched fucking idiot with no redeeming qualities can have a successful career. Unfortunately for the rest of us, her career is as a hate-mongering, shit heel politician.
Ugh, don’t call her MTG. That means Magic the Gathering to me and I like that game. 😞
You mean the trading card game that used to be coherent but these days is whored out to every franchise on Earth so Hasbro can make a quick buck, reputation be damned? There are worse comparisons.
Yes, but you can still always play it the old fashioned way with the older cards.
MG is out as well. MG is short for MGB which is a small, older sports car that even in its worst condition probably has less milage than the above Karen.
What about, CUNT?
That's an insult to beautiful cunts around the world
Already taken by people with Creativity, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent.
I heard that in the US she's known as Moscow Marjorie.
Joking aside, in real life, Americans all seem to call her Marjorie Taylor Greene. Not MTJ, not Moscow Marge, just her full time.
It has meant Magic: The Gathering decades longer than it ever meant her. She cannot ruin the initialism.
Unfortunately for her, too. She might be successful, but she seems fucking miserable all the time.
I've been wondering about that. Do you think the Trump office is a fun place to be? Do you think people are laughing and joking around? I imagine they're deadly serious all the time and only ever laugh to mock someone. I imagine it's absolutely miserable and highly stressful.
I know there are some good people in Georgia. What I don’t know is how they cope with the embarrassment of her. I guess much as we all had to cope with Shitstain L’Orange being our president. Sigh.
Stop pointing cameras at these fucking bridge trolls
In general, you have a point. This time, however, she was spreading antivax conspiracies and those will filter out via social media and the like, so it needs to be confronted.
The idea that the Slovak Prime Minister was shot because of his views in vaccines is ludicrous. The shooter had plenty of views on plenty of different issues, having supported both far right and social liberal parties. Doesn't look like vaccines were relevant in any way. This is just Taylor Greene sparking unjustified indignation among her base.

Fuck this dumb corrupt piece of shit
MTG makes Boebert seem reasonable somehow.
I think Boebert knows she's likely screwed with the redistricting and is trying to keep her head down.
Can somebody please just beat the shit out of this bitch? Enough to get her to shut the fuck up, or maybe even to make her change her bullshit ways?
I’m a huge fan of batshit crazy women with toe deformities, I wonder if she’d like to live under my bridge?
Her? Her? You're one sick bastard. 🤢🤮🤮
Bat shit crazy women with big arms and toe deformities.
'Lone wolf' like the time Assange embarrassed the Americans with evidence of their crimes and a rape victim magically appears only to disappear again seven years later. The Americans are the real global terrorist organisation.
