Why is a president who pledged to put “America first” handing a $40 billion bailout to Argentina while quadrupling Argentine beef imports to undercut the price of beef produced by U.S. ranchers at the same time his tariffs have destroyed U.S. soybean sales to China, thereby enabling Argentine soybean farmers to sell to China instead?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has absolutely no clue.

The Georgia Republican continued her surprising tour of pushback against Republican nonsense with an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show Wednesday, where she called the bailout “one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen.”

    Dude I hope this is the stupidest shit you argue about this week. Because this is a dummmmmb thing to be worked up about.

    Using curse words doesn’t make you a big boy, or some sign of maturity.

      There actually is a positive correlation between casual use of expletives and intelligence, including emotional intelligence. So it’s definitely associated with big boys and can be a sign of maturity.

      Again: use them or don’t. I have no issue with either of those. What I have issue with is the middle ground.
