For the love of god, can someone interviewing Marjorie Taylor Greene please ask if she really puts Arby’s roast beef sandwiches in her pants?!?!

The news cycle may have moved on, but the public deserves an answer.

The average response to this will be some variation on:

But if you don’t explain things in exactly the way I want them explained, why would I buy a subscription?

Maybe I’m naive, but I feel like we could probably spare some sand for them. We have a lot.

Do the blue men just really like sand?

I get that August 2025 was a million years ago, but Marjorie Taylor Greene owes the American public an answer.

In one particularly wild exchange, Loomer practically roasted Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene as someone who puts “roast beef in her pants.”

“What is your basis for saying she put Arby’s in her pants?” Maher’s legal counsel asked.

“She carries roast beef in her pockets,” Loomer responded.

“What is your basis for saying she puts roast beef in her pockets and in her pants?” the counsel pressed

Look, questions were raised (and possibly braised) and I’m a person that demands answers.

I can’t decide if I want to laugh or vomit because of your use of “lil sliders” in this context.

So I’ll probably do a combination of both.

I liked this comment, but I want you to know that there was a significant amount of dry heaving coupled with the like.

The movie is worth at least one watch for that scene alone.

Brad Dourif steals the show in this movie (and yes, I know this can be said about most of his performances).

This is what every teen cast as the dad in a high school play looks like.

Picture of British conservative activist/writer Charles Amos — who is wearing some sort of fedora-like hat, has a terrible mustache, and generally looks like he’s a child trying to pass as an 80 year old.

It’s tough because on one hand I can totally agree that the context-free aspect of it runs the risk of amplifying lies/propaganda.

Yet on the other hand, most people cannot keep up with the overwhelming amount of lying/insanity happening now, that having someone highlight key moments can help.
