Marjorie Taylor Greene wants Americans to get a national divorce, and the only question is who gets custody of Puerto Rico. Actually there are other questions, such as: why the hell are we talking about this again? And: why is a member of the United States House of Representatives advocating breaking up the United States? And: which third party gets to be the divorce lawyer? Because there is no way Canada is telling me how much alimony I have to pay.
For those of you leading normal and productive lives, this latest brain-plague began on Twitter when Congresswoman Greene declared, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate

If it's Marjorie Taylor Greene, automatic skip. She says moronic things and mainstream media tries to make it sound like all of us on the right are as stupid as she is. Happens about once a week, Next.

China and Russia are probably all for an American divorce too which makes it a bad thing.

You have to register to read the article - no thanks
Anyway, who wants to bet there is no way Salon talks about the voter fraud that has saddled us with China Joe.

At the rate things are going, sadly it will either be a "national divorce" or Civil War 2!!!
The more evil I see the lie-berals do, the more I see them driving this great republic to becoming a third-world cesspool of communism with them as the ruling Politburo. You can stick your head in the sand (like Matt Purple) and pretend it isn't happening, but it is. As it stands, we are simply a couple of Supreme Court justices away from losing most of our existing constitutional rights.

People who have divorced their spouses pretty much know when the point is reached when the differences are not reconcileable and the hatred begins to set in. America reached that point around 2008 when an illegal alien was placed in the White House with no vetting and they did not care.The left is still drifting further leftward, causing the entire country to go downhill. If we divorce, five years from now, the left half of the country will collapse on itself and we will run everything in a relatively conservative way again.

This meme ain't working for me so try some other trick. I hate to see MTG bite the big one, but she brought this on herself.

There are different kinds of divorces, including portions of states wanting to withdraw from one state, and join another. There is also a divorce from DC, and the return of power to the states. Neither of those require a national divorce. We could also divorce from communism and socialism. How about a divorce from affirmative action, equity, and racial theories? How about a divorce from the climate hoax, and EV's? Yeah, I favor a divorce, and not just one.

Apparently this article author has been living under a rock for the past half a century.
The Left is now bona fide Marxist/Communist party, both Marxism and communism are diametrically opposed to a Free Constitutional Republic, they simply can't coexist.
The country has been irreconcilably divided, to think we can be united again and Democrats and Republicans, Blacks and Whites are going to stroll hand in hand down the city streets singing kumbaya is the stuff fairy tales are made of. We are nearing end game and only have three choices, we parish, they parish or we divide.
MTG is simply voicing for the least painful choice and she is not wrong.

I can see the country splitting in two. It would take a few years to get it right but in the end we would have one country where the citizens would be hard-working, God fearing, patriotic, law abiding citizens and in the other country would be all the democrats.

A National divorce may have its problems, but look at the current state of events. Our country is so divided, it would take a miracle to put us back together. And it is getting worse.

God is usually pretty fair. He didn't give MTG much in the way of looks but he gave her a working brain. In contrast you have Me-Again Markle and 95% of hollywood women. They there's Whoopi, Chelsea, Maxine Waters and Joy Behar who were hiding behind the door when the goodies were passed out.

Most intelligent Christian conservatives realize the divorce™ happened some time back, and are living accordingly.

#11 and #13 - what does what MTG looks like have to do with the fact that this country is headed down a black hole? I thank God every day I am old because what is coming isn't going to be pretty. Amen, #7.

The Left does not compromise. The Right tries to reach consensus by negotiation, but the Left does not negotiate either. If this is true, then now that the Left has learned to manipulate national elections and has complete control of just about every major institution; Intelligence agencies, FBI, DOJ, Hollywood, the national media, academics, the leadership of the military, big pharma (is there even a small pharma?), etc, how does anyone foresee a reconciliation between the two? There can be no reconciliation as there are no shared values, morality, or vision, between the Left and the Right. IF there is no 'divorce', somehow and someway, then the Left will win and the Right will lose.

Divorce, in this case, is a Metaphor...it means the Democrap Commies are all removed from power for their own safety. Too bad they all aren't in PRISON where they belong!

Dear Matt Purple,
You really need to read and understand the Declaration of Independence. It is the foundational document of the American concept of human rights.
>... Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Delegate, Second Continental Congress.

She didn't sound insane to me when she said it. She was specifically speaking of states such as California, New York, and Illinois when she spoke about divorcing.

I support Ukrainian independence and knocking down a stuffed shirt like Russia a few pegs.
Therefore, I do not care for Greene.

Sorry #29, I would support those things too if it wasn't costing our taxpayers probably a trillion dollars by the time it is all said and done -- and the best we can probably hope for is that things will be how they were before the war started. To too many of our politicians, a few billion dollars a day in cash and weapons to Ukraine is fine as long as we don't have to do anything.
But when this becomes a full-fledged WW-3, and our boys (and sadly our girls too) will be dying there, I'm guessing MTG and the rest of the politicians that feel like her are going to seem much saner to people like you!!!
