What the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

MisterOwl@lemmy.world · 70 pts · 292d

They're literally insane.

In this case, I'm guessing mental illness and a desire for attention. Apparently she was making shit up in high school as well, though not to this extent

Where did you get that info?

I hope the scars never fade so you always have to look at the stupid shit you did.

Drusas@fedia.io · 5 pts · 291d

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.

That's some American Mary energy that Mary would bitch slap you for asking (not a horrible movie, imo. But I'm a simple movie enjoyer).

To be fair, the artist did good work.

The literal Trump Derangement Syndrome

I always thought that was the term's original meaning anyhow.

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!!

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.

I didn't remember that or hadn't heard of it, but someone in the comments of OP link provided this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Todd_mugging_hoax

My first thought was body odour, so congrats on the self-burn to herself.

Reminds me of a case in germany where some nazi chopped a few of his fingers off and then tried to pin it on "the antifa"

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 12 pts · 292d

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.

T00l_shed@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 291d (1 reply)

Like when they showed pictures of destitute areas in the US, under trump, saying this is what will happen under biden?

jj4211@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 291d

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...

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 15 pts · 292d

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.

LEFT IS BEST

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz · 9 pts · 292d (6 replies)

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

Dang, they’re so deep in their rabbit hole they are literally harming themselves and defacing their communities.

Gates9@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 291d

This is why we don’t have any universal services in this country. They would rather literally destroy themselves than admit their bigoted political ideology is flawed.

"A MAGAt would eat shit just to breathe on a lib"

That is an entirely different story.

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social · 2 pts · 291d

Yeah, they're referencing another fake incident from these losers.

Jarix@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 291d

Women fucking over other women. This does so much harm to actual victims of abuse.

Gonna be honest, I did not understand what this title was claiming until I read the article. Holy shit, some people ... Wow!

With an idiotic display of criminal fealty like that, I have to imagine her star is on the rise.

Drusas@fedia.io · 1 pts · 291d

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.
