Why is it that Microsoft Word finds "congressman" inappropriate, and seeks to change it to "congressional representative", while "congresswoman" is fine?

She didn't delineate every single one of her kook claims, but she said she's sorry for all the stuff she believed.
Which, of course, means nothing to me as a Jew.

She said it on the floor of the House, and in a subsequent press conference the following day. Obviously, she's a politician, and can be just saying the words that she needs to say to propel her career. But the same can be said for almost any apology, and the way apologies go, this one was pretty strong IMO.

See minute 45:45 here - https://www.c-span.org/video/?508492-2/house-votes-remove-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-committees-230-199

I'm going to humbly disagree and say that could barely be called an apology at all, let alone "pretty strong". Even the things she does specify, like David Hogg, she doesn't actually apologize for. And as far as low bars go, "9/11 happened" is a hall of famer.
In this "apology" she focuses more on unrelated issues such as abortion and her personal religious views than the issues in question, so it's not a matter of not being given enough time. And whenever she wasn't speaking of unrelated topics, she was making false equivalences, trying to martyr herself, and just generally sounding like a fool. She could have gotten a better speech written on Fiverr.

Exactly. Don't know why anyone cares to defend this absurd excuse of a lady.

Probably not as extreme as you think it is.
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

As recently as 2015 the military paid the NFL to air the national anthem in order to help recruiting.

What a beautiful society where capitalism allows Disney to succeed and the First Amendment guarantees Disney's right to protect or condemn any political position it dislikes. I hope they use their power to censure harmful preachings from the Left as well and keep us all safer.

What did she say that was "abhorrent"
Maybe I'm missing something?

She compared people hating others bc of their political views to Nazis hating Jews during WW2.
Personally I don’t think that statement was offensive, I think Disney saw that as the straw that broke the camels back.

I see as a poor comparison, but "abhorrent?"

I actually think it’s a fair comparison but FWIW it’s on top of anti masking & election Big Lie.

Yes, it seems like Simon Cowell is the one who is judging who gets canceled and who doesn't.


BTW, Ben Shapiro devoted the first 15 or so minutes of today's podcast to
