MTG Claims There’s a Tampon Shortage Because Biden’s Putting Them in Men’s Bathrooms for Trans People

Marjorie Taylor-Greene has a vote in the United States House of Representatives. The Representative from Guam does not. I do not. You do not. But Marjorie Taylor-Greene has one out of 435 total votes in the House. It seems like nothing, one in 435, until you compare it to the weight of your vote, then it seems huge. She isn’t on any committee. She is too racist. But she has a vote.

How that can happen is an enigma that will puzzle historians (The French will probably have to figure it out two centuries from now). Right Side Broadcasting Network sat down with Marjorie Taylor-Greene today and almost had an open mic session with a woman with a vote and an increasingly powerful voice. Marjorie never disappoints, at least not when it comes to dangerous stupidity.

One frivolous thing Marjorie said that is just typical Marjorie and meant to unleash as much hatred as possible on our LGBTQ community. Marj says the tampon shortage is due to the fact that the Biden administration is putting them in men’s bathrooms. Men will be the women of the year. To be fair, Marjorie didn’t say it as if she really believed it. She just saw an opportunity to hurt the right people, trans people, and so why not?

Then Marjorie put her scientist hat on and gave the 5th-grade explanation as to why global warming is a good thing. She says that we’re able to grow more food and that the earth is greener than it used to be. Marjorie has clearly never been to California (Some of us would kill for a trip to California right now), which is a shame because more food comes from the Central Valley of California than any other area in the country. Yes, California is the nation’s leading Ag state, not Iowa, not Nebraska, California. And it’s bone dry.

Global temperature is a net neutral number. (Ocean acidity, which follows higher carbon levels, is not neutral). The globe is not going to warm so fast that it’ll be too hot everywhere anytime within the next 100,000 years. (Society might break down. Civilization, science, the arts, history, and technology could all be gone, but humans will be here). And, yes, in the near term, there will be SOME countries that win in a warming globe. Canada and the Scandinavian countries are perfect examples of the “winners” in global warming (not that Canada is cheering for global warming, they’re fighting it). Even Russia will benefit from global warming.

The problem is that for the last 500 years – at a minimum, the world has set up its entire infrastructure based upon sea levels and agricultural patterns as they were over that 500 years, and that infrastructure is unable to adapt quickly over 100 years to climate changes that normally take 10,000 years naturally. Miami is currently barely above sea level (So is London, for that matter). New York is perhaps the best port on the East Coast, Canada or U.S., give it three feet of rising seas (about 75 years), and you get this. Same thing with Hong Kong, the best deep water port in Southern China. Our infrastructure is set up to move that “food” Marjorie talks about as the world is “now,” not with a fast-changing globe.

Yes, Canada will be able to grow more food, but it will come at the expense of Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, as those states start looking more like northern Texas…

It goes on and on. Society cannot take fast change, and loose talk like Marjorie’s sounds convincing to someone with an IQ of 90. Even if we take Marjorie at her word (a mistake) and say that the world can produce more food, it does no good if the global economy cannot move that food to where people live. And that’s where the troubles and the wars start. The biggest believers in global climate change are in the United States Pentagon, which has plans for a world in which water and resources are suddenly “moving” with people left to fight over what’s left in their area. The U.S. is partnering with the Canadian military for a joint Naval base in the Arctic ocean – it won’t freeze over year-round anymore, and goods will move by boat over the top of the earth. The navy will need to be there.

Marjorie has a vote in the United States House of Representatives despite knowing none of this. We all understand, most more than I do. But we don’t have a vote, and our voice is increasingly canceled out by people who take pride in being stupid. So stupid.
