      She’s only 26 and may well have psychiatric issues. I understand that desire, but… She could still grow up and realize how crazy this was. Having facial scars can be very life-altering, especially for women. Not to mention the legal implications.

    “The investigation revealed that Greene had not, in fact, been attacked by three men at gunpoint,” the release states. "Instead, Greene had paid a body modification/scarification artist to deliberately cut the lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder, based on a pattern that she had provided beforehand.

    Reminds me of the idiot years ago who carved “B.O.” into her cheeks in an attempt to blame Obama supporters… only she wrote the B backwards because she used a mirror.

    This is just how I think everyone in the Republican Party thinks and acts. Props for her going through with it. It takes guts to cut yourself and not get anything out of it!!

      True story! It was even wilder than that, but I don’t remember fully anymore. I think they were trying to get unemployment benefits?

    Someone is going to rationalize it by saying "while it was false, it was “directionally true”, just what the leftists would do so it’s worth thinking about.

        Yes, also, their excuse for why “they’re eating the pets” was worth hearing out even as it was demonstrably false. Because even if it didn’t exactly happen, it is a reasonable perspective on what “those people” would do…

      This will always be my favorite for just how silly it is.

      “Trump whore” is stupid and out of touch, but it lacks the whimsy.

        Among the messages Marks left were “Kill Trump,” “Bernie Sanders 2020,” “Death to Trump,” and “Left is best,” the Hartford Courant reported.

        “He admitted to doing the criminal act and said he regretted it,” Lt. Rocheleau said. “He said the reason he did do it was to show support towards Trump by having the other side bash him, to show how the other side is basically crazy enough to go and write stuff on a school playground.”

        Harmless but so characteristic

    Let’s be very clear, this is the type of people MAGA attracts.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if she was encouraged by her superiors to do something like that.

      Depends on whether those lacerations get on the way of turning her face into a caricature of a person (Mar-a-Lago Face is so in right now).

      Edit: I just saw some pictures. She’s not going to be anyone’s poster child any time soon, but cosmetic surgery is likely in her future.
