Search Results: talking parrot

I don’t think a lot of people quite understand that many people may not belong to a specific party, but may have stronger opinions and feelings on certain topics compared to others. For example, I myself am a moderate. And it’s literally laughable to me how many people have accused me of parroting right wing talking points (for those of you who don’t know: being center doesn’t always mean you will be 50/50 about every issue!)

At Trump's Arraignment, A Sad MAGA Circus Mourns The 'Funeral Procession For Our Republic'

It took a squad of New York City cops to escort Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) through the crowd outside Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday, a thin wall of uniforms between the far-right member of Congress and a circus of former President Donald Trump’s supporters, anti-Trump protesters, and a wave of reporters tripping over themselves to get a good view.

Greene’s “stage” was a couple of park benches, and her message was similar to that of the MAGA hat-clad, flag-waving Trump faithfuls who swarmed lower Manhattan: Trump’s indictment is a threat to the American way of life.

Several pro-Trump supporters sported white supremacist symbols on their clothing. One young white man wore a skull mask and implored the crowd to watch “Europa: The Last Battle,” a deeply antisemitic 2017 film that falsely claims Jews started both world wars. “White Lives Matter!” shouted a man carrying a “Trump or Death” flag and a bottle of liquor.

Nearby, a middle-aged white man who identified himself only as “Michael from New Jersey” carried a sign parroting an old MAGA meme. It stated: “WHAT YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THE LIBERAL BIASED NEWS MEDIA: A TREE. A ROPE. A HORSE OR CHAIR. A LIBERAL NEWS REPORTER. SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.”

Michael even brought his own noose — which he said he made himself — that he taped to his sign. When pressed if this meant he wanted to hang a reporter from HuffPost, Michael was a little less feisty, stating he only wanted to kill those journalists who wanted to “overthrow the government.” He then declined to comment on his whereabouts on Jan. 6, 2021.
“I will personally put the fucking noose around that son-of-a-bitch’s neck,” Michael said separately, referring to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “This is a real Texas necktie.”
