• Republigoons show their "serious" sides

    From Fascist Flea@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 7 11:52:51 2023
    Unwilling to declare their love affair with Putin at an end, the wackadoo
    Goofy Ol' Poopy-pants contingent in the House instead rages against
    the unbridled imperialism of JAI-nah.

    "In a Barbie world, who controls the South China Sea?
    That’s the question a handful of Republican lawmakers — not to mention much of Southeast Asia — is asking thanks to a background detail in the upcoming “Barbie” movie due out later this month.
    The detail in question is a dashed line drawn on a map off the coast of Asia that critics have identified as the nine-dash line, a contested maritime boundary that Beijing draws more than a thousand miles off its own coast to claim the vast majority of the South China Sea as its territory."

    Stirred to "action", a MAGA-turd from WI upchucked this spew:

    “While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish,
    crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP
    censors,” Gallagher said in a statement to POLITICO. “I hope Warner Brothers
    clarifies that the map was not intended to endorse any territorial claims and was in fact, the work of a formerly plastic anthropomorphic doll.”


    Good thing the House doesn't have an important business to attend to.
