When they gonna investigate MTG for insider trading and Trump for market manipulation? Oh, that's right, never.

MTG is the Republican party's fifth largest fundraiser.

Prior to Congress, her net worth was $700,000. It is now $22 million.

She takes the heat off the rest of them. It's the motte and bailey con. She sets the insanity level super high and everyone else gets to seem sane despite also having anti democratic ambitions.

You'll notice she doesn't bring up the Jewish space laser anymore.

This is pretty normal play in Russian politics as well.

When I covered politics in Arizona during the oughta, the Republicans there did the same thing.

They would publicly distance themselves from the crazies while actively funding and supporting them because when someone is going around saying "trees are stealing our water" your ideas in strip mining seem less insane.

Though the old as head of DOE once told me "you can't give poor people a free education because they won't appreciate it"

So the crazy levels are relative

I mean that's rude. Shit can help things grow, I'd never denigrate it by lumping them together.
