OMG - It's SuperPooper Traitor Greene vs. the Evil Genius Wal Mart!

Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski · 23h Marge declares war on Wal Mart over dildos.

Too much irony here for me to handle.

[hlthe2b]

1. what the hell is she talking about? Dental floss?

[dchill]

2. Possibly Chapstick?

[Tommymac]

8. Dildos. Right next to the children's dental hygiene section no less.

In the Dalton, GA store.

I believe this image in the tweet above is from her Truth Social account:

IMAGE from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene . @RepMTG
Walmart, many of your customers in my district are reaching out to me about sex toys being sold in your Dalton store.

They're extremely upset and absolutely horrified that sex toys are being sold openly right next to children's toothbrushes!

This is grooming.

ON Edit: I made a typo and originally identified the store location as Dalton, CO. This was MY mistake. I have corrected this reply to the correct Dalton, GA location per the original tweet. My sincere apologies to all.
And I made NO comments about the alleged photo in the tweet's comments. I did not see it, but then I did not look far in the comments. That said, I have no opinion on the subject as I am not a photo expert.

[hlthe2b]

12. I know what she CLAIMED. But I see no image and there is NO Dalton, Colorado

Dalton, GA probably.

(There is a Dalton RANCH in Durango, but there is no Walmart associated with a private ranch).

On edit, I saw a post in the response stream to Filipkowski's tweet, but that image looks to me to be photoshopped as some others are saying too.

[Tommymac]

15. Typo. Fixed, And sorry you can't see the image - I block quoted it.

I do not go to that site, and never will. I don't know how to link just the photo in the tweet, but I did quote the text above.

And I fixed the typo - it is GA not CO. Had barby on the brain, I guess.

[SCantiGOP]

64. Dalton GA is a city in her district

About 50,000 people, calls itself the Carpet Center of America, with Shaw Industries and many more carpet factories there.

[Ms. Toad]

25. If it was photoshopped, it was a quality photoshop.

(I do digital photo-retouching, which involves a lot of what would be referred to as "photoshopping."

It looks real to me.

Not only that, but but both products are in stock in the Dalton GA supercenter on Walnut Ave, and both are listed as being in aisle G12. So if they aren't right next to each other, they are in the same vicinity. It took me less than 5 minutes to confirm this.

(I don't care about where Walmart places its product - but I do care that we don't fall victim to confirmation bias. We want her to be making up stuff, so we assume she is and don't bother to fact-check.)

[hlthe2b]

29. Yet, you have no problem with this being labeled as Dalton, CO?

which does not exist? Really?

And no, the photo does not show up for me in the OP. I went to search for it. The one I saw looks photoshopped. Regardless, I don't give a GD if a clearance rack for those items appears next to toothbrushes--even as it pains me to defend Walmart in any way. NOR SHOULD YOU unless you seek to enable/defend MTG and her outrageous conspiracy theorists which, incidentally seeks to make all Dems, Liberals, and yes, LGBTQ out to be pedophile groomers. But, by God, don't let any little error deter you in this, no matter what contortions you have to perform to defend it.

Unbelievable to see this bogus assertion and its RW meme defended here.

[Ms. Toad]

30. Did I say I didn't care about store identification - or product placement?

What I said I cared about was confirmation bias - our growing tendency to skip fact checking if the "facts" fits our confirmation bias. We want her to be making crap up, so we assume she is and don't do basic fact checking.

Whether she properly identified the location of the store&& or where Walmart places its products is irrelevant to whehter we're swallowing whatever we want to believe hook, line, and sinker.

** The products are not in a clearance rack (despite the suggestion in the thread below the picture) - the shelf-tags aren't mark-down prices, and all chidren's toothbrushes are in the same aisle (see below).

** There is nothing to suggest the photo was photo-shopped. No obvious change in color or pixelation, no sharp lines, no shadows going the wrong way. The shelves holding the vibrators stick out farther than the toothbrushes because that's how shelves work.

** And less than 5 minutes on the Walmart site will give you the exact location of the items (all children's toothbrushes - not just those on clearance) and at least one of the vibrators from the image (I didn't check all of the vibrators) are housed on aisle G12.

&&ETA: I don't see any reference in her tweet or Filipkowski's to Dalton CO, and MTG is the representative from the District in GA which includes Dalton.

[hlthe2b]

31. You be you. I get it.

I get it. You adore MTG and her memes.

I am not going to respond to you further. I find this sickening beyond explanation.

[Ms. Toad]

32. Do you really want us to become the 2nd party which believes in alternative facts?

That's where folllowing confirmation bias, rather than fact-checking, takes us.

[hlthe2b]

33. You want us to be unquestioningly credulous despite evidence to the contrary.

That is beyond ridiculous. Especially when enabling the indefensible. Go on and blindly accept what the far RW MAGATs feed you. Not me.

[Ms. Toad]

43. Hmmm . . . I'm the one who did the fact checking.

It doesn't appear you did any, beyond reading unverified comments in a tweet thread (about the aisle being a clearance rack and/or photoshopped).

I didn't accept a thing far RW MATATs said. I'm not sure where you came up with Colorado - since it isn't her tweet or Filipkowski's. And MTG is the representative of the district which includes Dalton, GA. And, based on fact checking, I didn't find any evidence she is lying about the product placement.

The Dalton GA Walmart on Walnut Ave does indeed sell vibrators, and they are indeed in the same aisle as children's toothbrushes. Less than 5 minutes of fact-checking will confirm that fact. Walmart didn't just make up a site to fake us out about where to locate vibrators and children's toothbrushes.

We want her to be lying - since it would make her look like an even bigger fool than she is. That's what confirmation bias is. We hear something we want to be true, so we assume it is (and start spreading it). That is precisely when we need to fact check, so I did.

If you've done fact-checking and have evidence (not twitter speculation) to the contrary, I'd love to hear it.

Again - just to be clear - I don't care what Walmart puts next to children's toothbrushes, or what they sell. My concern is our response of skipping the fact-checking step (you're not the only one - I commented on other posts in this thread, and certainly most of the folks commenting on Twitter relied on confirmation bias rather than fact-checking).

[hlthe2b]

44. Despicable. Truly.

I am sure you are proud of your arguments in promotion of MTG's memes. You should NOT be.

I'm done.

[Hortensis]

49. Good. Because there is NO "promotion of MTG's meme."

My take on this is that you seem to have misunderstood Mrs. Toad's intent several over-reactions ago.

Our general tendency to value truth far above the pleasures of self-deception is our big strength against MAGA-sm, which cannot survive without self deception.

[Ms. Toad]

75. Fact checking is not promoting a meme.

Can you really not separate determining whether her statements are factual from the agreeing with her opinions one might hold about those facts?

Agreeing with her that the fact (shelving them on adjacent shelves) is a bad thing would be promoting her meme. I haven't said a single word suggesting I agree with her opinion/political position about adjacent shelving - merely that I don't think she is lying that they are shelved adjacently. (In fact I have expressly stated more than once that I don't care where things are shelved - I only care that we don't accuse her of making crap up when she apparently isn't.)

[Polybius]

96. Wait a second, let me see if I'm getting this straight...

So, MTG posts something about dildos being next to children's toothbrush's in a local Walmart, and then several posters call her a liar. One poster comes along and fact-checks everything, and proves that the dildos really are right near the children's toothbrushes.

And...you get mad at the poster for revealing that she wasn't lying? Shouldn't we here at DU know the truth? Or should we just label everything we don't like as likes and fake news? The fact-checker is a hero.

[wnylib]

55. I agree about fact checking.

It does us no good to act like MAGAs, accepting things on blind faith.

And I do see the difference between establishing the facts versus supporting MTG. It is NOT supporting RW propaganda to sort out the facts.

The issue seems to be whether or not the location of the sex toys and children's toothbrushes amounts to "grooming." I'm betting that kids don't even notice the sex toys or know what they are if they see them. Usually it's parents who buy the toothbrushes, not kids. Even if they have kids with them and let them pick out their own toothbrush, as I said before, the kids won't notice the sex toys or know what they are.

However, it is still kinda dumb for Wal-Mart to put them near each other.

It is even dumber for MTG to make a major issue out of this. Her obsession with sex is neurotic at best. But mostly thus is just MAGA political theater.

[Ms. Toad]

70. I agree as to all points.

It's just a way for her to keep her name in the news and garner points with her equally sex-obsessed followers.

We don't need to contribute by giving her ammunition by accusing her of lying if she's not.

[Tommymac]

76. Sheesh, calm down already.. I (ME) made a typo and corrected it. MY MISTAKE, not the tweet.

I've already apologized up thread.

The location error was purely ME ME ME. A typo. My fault. I'll take the blame. I'm on the carpet for this one. I fubared it all up. Make me write 1000 times "I made an error on DU". Spank ME

[40RatRod]

87. Just ignore them.

We have too many judges or so they think.

[Hortensis]

45. Thanks for the input, Mrs. Toad. Honesty with self and others

is the only effective protection against infection with MAGA brain.

[paleotn]

71. Sorry, ain't buying it.

Walmart doesn't sell sex toys in their stores. That's ridiculous on it's face, pictures or no pictures.

[wnylib]

78. I checked. Out of curiosity. This is what I found.

[chriscan64]

81. I have seen one at a Wal Mart in San Antonio with my own eyes.

The notion is ridiculous, but true at least in some cases.

[Ms. Toad]

82. Ridiculous or not, you would be wrong.

Did you fact-check using the Dalton Walmart website? I doubt they created it just to support MTG.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/plusOne-Rabbit-Dual-Vibrator-Massager/760188200?athbdg=L1200



(In the right half of the image you can see the store (Dalton Supercenter) and the aisle location (G12)

If you look for children's toothbrushes, they are also in aisle G12.

[paleotn]

90. OK. I stand corrected. Kind of weird, but I'll accept that.

But so what? I'm sure the Trojans are an aisle or two over, but still, so what? They've been there for ages. The unwashed morons are just now discovering those?

[Polybius]

97. In NYC, you have to be 18+ to enter any place that sells sex toys or adult videos

I can see how this would bother some.

[MLAA]

3. Hmmmm brushing teeth is grooming along with hair brushing. What is she talking about?

She is whacked!

[Tommymac]

10. I see what you did here.

[MLAA]

94. Thank you for your excellent sense of humor!

[aeromanKC]

4. What, next the vegetable section?

[niyad]

22. shhhhh, the cukes are nervous!

[Samrob]

5. Walmart only stocks in store what consumers in the immediate area are buying.

For example, you won't fine many books at the Walmart in her area. Sooo......

[TheBlackAdder]

42. Here's how to shut her up: Sell them in the Adulterous MTG Buddhist Tantric Sex Department.

[Bev54]

66. Lol, you guys must enjoy your Walmart more than we Canadians

I have never seen anything close to that interesting in our Walmart stores up here, or maybe I just don't live in the right area.

[KentuckyWoman]

72. Walmart Quebec

The most interesting thing I saw at a Walmart in Canada was Quebec. They had white bikinis with strategically placed red Maple leaves. Oh Canada indeed.... I took a pic but I can't straight upload to DU so....

[Bev54]

80. When I visited Quebec in the 70's they had spanish fly at the

checkout in some stores, probably still do.

[xmas74]

98. We have them at my local in Missouri

It's in the same section as the condoms and lube, next to feminine hygiene.

[Jamastiene]

101. In the southeastern US, they have sex toy parties.

The seller sets it up with whatever unsatisfied woman is hosting it. It is usually in that woman's house while her husband has been conveniently sent off to go fishing or hunting with his buddies.

The seller sits there with demo models of various sex toys, kids running all over the unsatisfied woman's living room (I once saw a kid hold up a douchebag and ask if it was a sprinkler, it was the most bizarre thing I ever saw), crosses all over the walls, Bibles on the coffee table, about a dozen other women squealing and grinning from ear to ear, and asking about battery life and which vibrator is quietest so as to not wake up and offend their husbands who promptly go to sleep and snore and fart venison gas the rest of the night after satisfying themselves.

Imagine a MLM seminar for women who are married to guys who only think of themselves and see women as "vessels." These women will not point out to those guys that they are lousy in bed. The men do not care. They only care what their male friends think, not some woman. I learned straight people in the south hate each other under all that bravado they share against gay people. I still think their homophobia is based quite a bit in jealousy due to their own unsatisfying, twisted sex lives.

Instead, the women get together with other unsatisfied women and discuss how lousy their husbands are in bed and have the sex toy parties with the sex toy seller scheduling them like any other business. That is, when they are not cheating with multiple other men to try to get some satisfaction.

The southeastern US is one freaky place full of dichotomies, oxymorons, regular morons, and lots of unsatisfied women, etc. Being a lesbian down here subjects you to all the weirdest straight people and their weird activities that they tell you is the "normal" (according to them) way to be.

My first boss was a homophobic weirdo hellbent on making me straight. I learned way too much about just how deranged the culture down here is from her. The violence came later when I told her she could not change someone's sexual orientation. Until then, she kept at me with crazy crap like sex toy parties for a bunch of married straight women and other parties for them doing other things, mostly cheating on their husbands. I hate straight culture in the south. It is sickening. That they mix religion into it is even more sickening. It is such a mindfuck.

In other words, my first boss took me to all the last places I should ever be to be around all the last people I would ever want to know.

I am SO glad for the internet so I can meet civilized, sane, more evolved people who just tell it like it is instead of walking on eggshells around southern men while letting them think they are competent enough in bed when they are clearly not. She was trying to "sell" me on why being a straight woman is better, but she just taught me how horrible it really is. I wouldn't wish that lifestyle on my worst enemy.

I am surprised Walmart hasn't stocked sex toys before now to be honest. I'm surprised there isn't a downstairs dungeon/chapel section too. The only version of religion allowed in this area of NC is a mindfuck, but underneath, they have some of the most deranged views on sex ever, walking on eggshells to keep the men happy, while the women grumble about 30 second babies and batteries not strong enough to fill the void.

One woman I worked with at that job talked about how her vibrator was in the nightstand and turned itself on one day, "calling" to her, she said. She was terrified her husband would find out she had it and take it away.

I'm honestly surprised every Walmart down here doesn't have an entire sex toy section. MTG is lying. No southern straight women would write complaining about sex toys. That just would not happen. She made that up. Those sex toys are who the straight women down here are really married to, while they walk on eggshells around the husbands, who are kept around to make money to financially support all of their 30 second children.

It felt so great when I met up with a small gay community in the state and we compared notes on how the straight people in the south treat us. The straights down here are the real freaks. We have to take years to finally get our minds unfucked from their brand of religion and crazy mixed while they try to make us straight.

[IbogaProject]

6. Sexual health items are in the pharmacy area

So it's a gotcha, toothbrushes, condoms and vibrators are in a small area right by the pharmacist.

[TheBlackAdder]

48. Right next to the erectile dysfunction supplements.

[ProfessorGAC]

61. First Thing I Thought, Too

At the store to which I go, the dental aisle ends, then the wall beyond the cross aisle is where all sex based products are.
The pharmacy is one aisle over. Of course all that stuff in close proximity. MTG will find something to whine about, no matter what.

[jmowreader]

83. Not in all Walmarts

In the one closest to my house, the sexual stuff like condoms is sold in the cosmetics department. They’re there because this store has a register at the entrance to this department and rubbers are a high-shrink item. The oral hygiene products are not sold in that department because they aren’t high shrink and the department is so full of makeup there’s no room for toothbrushes.

[Biophilic]

7. Oh, man, this is just too much.

I’m finally getting the popcorn out. This is so far over the line that I can’t see the line anymore. what an utter and total piece of insanity.

[Tommymac]

9. Save me a seat, please.

[Initech]

13. Dildos and butt plugs - me thinks they are way too obsessed with sex!

Also tell me your fetish without telling me your fetish.

[Initech]

11. This is next level paranoid insanity.

I’ll take “things that aren’t happening anywhere” for $1,000, Alex.

[lame54]

14. Those are electric toothbrushes not vibrators...

Does she go to the OBGYN to get her teeth cleaned?

[niyad]

21. you nearly owed me a keyboard.

[Ms. Toad]

24. The image was clearly vibrators.

The text on the products is clear, and the product match the shelf tags - so if it was photo-shopped someone took some time to make it look realistic. The Dalton, GA Supercenter on Walnut Ave lists both items as in stock, and in aisle G12.

(I don't particularly care - everything has to be next to something, and it would be an uncommon child who buys their own toothbrush - so the placement would be aimed at adults.)

[lame54]

39. Saw no image in OP...

But I stand by my snark

[Ms. Toad]

69. There wasn't one -

You had to go find it in the Filipkowski thread on the bird site.

[ShazzieB]

57. I forgot about that feature on the Walmart website.

I'll have to go over there and have a look.

For the record, when I saw MTG's tweet, my first thought was "I'll believe it when/if I see a picture of it." I forgot Walmart has that online feature where you can find things in a particular store. I need to start using it. The Walmart I go to keeps rearranging things, and there are some things I can no longer find at all. It's hard to believe they would stop selling both Stouffer's frozen mac & cheese AND Gorton's frozen fish filets and fishsticks, but I'll be damned if I can find any of those items!

[Ms. Toad]

67. I wish other stores would pick up that feature.

I know generally where most things are - but I've shopped for a number of things recently for which I douldn't find a themed location. Citric acid (my most recent adventure) is with canning supplies (logical), which weren't located with the other food preservations in the food aisles.

I also generally like to shop at places other than Walmart - but there have been a few times recently I've defaulted to Walmart because I was in a hurry and knew I could easily find the item using their handy-dandy guide.

[TheBlackAdder]

46. Depends on what end you use. 🤣🤣🤣

How about fighting for womens’ equality? Expanded health care? Infrastructure? Voter registration? Climate change?

Nah … she’d rather be the Walmart police. What a waste of oxygen.

[Biophilic]

18. Total and complete.

[niyad]

20. I have never seen sex toys in walmart, let alone next to children's things.

Note to self: check out local wally world. Closer than phantasia, and maybe cheaper??

[Tommymac]

23. Ha-Ha! Good thinking!

[Ms. Toad]

27. Both vibrators and children's toothbrushes are in aisle G12

In the Dalton GA Walmart on Walnut Ave. (This info is available for items Walmart has in stock)

(My local Walmart does not stock sex toys.)

[Old Crank]

52. Is there any indication

of how long aisle 12 is? I've been in some stores where they have what appears to be a long aisle but they have a passage in the middle and the one aisle becomes 2.
If 12 ends at the pharmacy and that is where any and all sex related stuff is and at the other end of the store are toys I really don't see a problem. I doubt that they are sold side by side.
Thanks for your research on the store.

[Ms. Toad]

65. The image that is in the Filipkowski thread shows them adjacent each other.

People in that thread suggested it looked like it was photoshopped. At one point I did digital photo retouching - including some that went beyond standard retouching. I see no evidence it was photoshopped - and I generally know what to look for based on my experience in creating photos which most people could not tell had been altered.

There was also a suggestion that the items were on a clearance rack. I zoomed in on the shelf tags (which matched the items shelved above each tag and did not have any clearance markings/deeply discounted pricing).

So I decided to check to see if it was even possible that they were sold next to each. I'd recently been looking for a hard-to-locate item in a Walmart store and discovered that most stores include the aisle location (who knew that Walmart was the only local store selling citric acid). So I pulled up children's toothbrushes - all housed in aisle G12 (I randomly checked several - just to make sure there wasn't a clearance location + a different regular location where most of them were stocked). Then I pulled up one of the vibrators shown on the shelf - same aisle.

Is it possible both that the photo was photoshopped (showing them adjacent each other) AND that the aisle is really long? I suppose. Not being near that particular store I can't rule it out. But that's a stretch. The two part aisle code indicates a specific location in a specific aisle - sort of like city blocks - with the passages you mention being the cross-streets (where numbering or lettering changes - so 12G might become 12H, or 11G, for example) So they wouldn't have been at opposite ends of the store, although they might have been at opposite ends of the block, so to speak. In my experience, the "blocks" are relatively short in the Walmart pharmacy area (often the pharmacy juts out into the store, shortening the blocks which run into the pharmacy).

I don't see a problem, regardless of where they are shelved. In general, it isn't kids buying kids' toothbrushes - it's the parents. By the time the kids are old enough to buy toothbrushes, they are probably old enough to find out about vibrators on their own.

I don't like seeing our side morph into people for whom facts are of secondary importance. I want us to get our facts straight - and then challenge them on policy from a basis in reality.

[S/V Loner]

26. Hey Marge...They are cucumbers. n/t

an electric toothbrush is not a vibrator, a zucchini is not a dildo, and a turkey baster is not a butt plug...got it???

Srsly fked-up. Especially with her history.

[area51]

95. +1 n/t

[Jamastiene]

102. Southern culture is geared toward never letting the worst men

know they are lousy in bed. It leads to sex toy parties and lots of cheating and an insatiable appetite for sex by a lot of unsatisfied women...and lots of religion to try to deter them from looking elsewhere for it. As you can see, the religion doesn't stop them. She is a classic case of that kind of oppression mixed with obsession with sex. She reminds me so much of my first boss, it's not even funny.

[NQAS]

38. It won't happen, but...

I’d like to see a Walmart response along the lines of….

Well, we do sell dildos. They are in a certain place in the pharmacy section, xx number of feet from toothbrushes. It’s like that that in our 14,000 Walmart store in the US, etc. yours is the first complaint we’ve received, which suggests to us that only you take issue, and only for crass political purposes.

In fact the store you mention is the largest seller of dildos in the world. Second is the Walmart in your district.

In the absence of the right to women’s reproductive health care, we believe that the availability of dildos is a public service to women in your district.

On the flip side, we find it interesting the the sales of condoms is lowest in your district. Just sayin’.

Or, second choice. Don’t respond at all.

[GreenWave]

So is it grooming their parents?

47. Again, battery operated toothbrushes

Are not sex toys Marge. Stop using them to masterbate with.

[sarchasm]

50. Dalton GA? So those are her neighbor constituents ...

… that like the convenience of buying their sex products while shopping for their kids dental products?

[barbtries]

51. okay. i looked at her thread.

the pictures showing the items next to children's toothbrushes are photoshopped. apparently it is true that Walmart sells them, though, I haven't found anything to suggest that they don't. They're vibrators and not dildos from what I can tell.

[AllaN01Bear]

53. ehhh shadddup.

[vlyons]

54. I bought a vibrator at Walmart.

I really enjoy it. It was in the pharmacy section, right next to heating pads and such.

Hey Marge, no one is forcing you to shop or buy anything at Walmart. And I doubt very seriously that children will be perusing the wares in the pharmacy dept. So for someone, who claims to be a champion of "freedom," seems rather hypocritical of you to have a hissy-fit over ADULTS buying sex toys anywhere they please.

[TheBlackAdder]

56. What I would like: Permanent 50-State No Tresspass Orders for anyone spreading defamatory info.

[Midnight Writer]

58. And they have bright colored dildoes in the dog toy section. They even have nubs for extra pleasure.

When dildoes are outlawed, only outlaws will have didoes. They can have my dildo when they pry it from my still quivering hand.

As for Marge, I have this advice. Use dildoes, not people!

[patphil]

60. Quick internet check shows "sexual health" items not only at Walmart, but

also at Target, CVS, and Rite-Aid.

Times have certainly changed. When I was a young man, condoms were behind the counter, out of sight, and had to be asked for.
Now it's all out there.

[trusty elf]

62. mommy's rocket ship

63. No Marge, "grooming" would be where the hair products are

If she doesn't like the placement of the dildos she should get her dildos somewhere else.

73. Total bullshit....

There is no way on god's green earth that the Wallyworld in Dalton GA of all god forsaken places is selling sex toys anywhere in their store. That's just plain nuts, pictures or no pictures.

86. Actually, check out the WalMart online catalog for the Dalton store.

They do carry sex toys, and in the same section as electric toothbrushes. Ms. Toad did the research, see posts above.

91. Thanks. I did. Weird, but whatever....

They've been selling prophylactics off the shelf for ages.

99. Most Walmarts sell them now.

It's a small variety in the pharmacy section with the condoms and lube, near feminine hygiene.
It's not dildoes. It's mini vibes, bullets and c@ck rings that vibrate.One of the condom companies makes them.

103. I'm surprised Walmarts here don't have dungeons set up

to look like chapels. It would fit so perfect with all the banks that look like churches and all the churches that look like banks. The south is one kinky place underneath all that homophobia and transphobia. I still think they are just jealous of gay people because we can at some point find happiness and satisfaction where they never can.

74. Empty, Empty, Empty

Your God is pissed at you over your sexual activity.

77. I find myself in the odd predicament of cheering on Walmart here.

Anyway, Marge's voice could wilt a dildo.

79. I see her as a person with a ONE TRACK MIND.

Sex with BUTT PLUGS and a DILDO. Check her closet!

85. This is the curious one

Let’s assume the picture is real and Dalton’s Walmart really does stock vibrators next to children’s toothbrushes.

Why would she choose to try to get Walmart to move the vibrators by going on a social media site Walmart executives don’t read rather than getting out a sheet of her fancy Congressional letterhead and writing a note to either the Dalton store manager or Walmart Home Office in Bentonville, AR?

88. Because she is an attention whore. And not very smart. nt

92. I never thought I would say this, but

I'm #teamWalmart when it comes to this fight. I wish they would sell gags too. She could use a few.

93. Will someone wake me when this is all over?

In my lifetime we've gone from having unspoken rules about how congress people are supposed to conduct themselves to this freakshow of a woman talking about dildoes and butt plugs.

I must be in an alternate universe. We have really sunk to new lows. I only have to wonder what sort of people live in her district since they apparently saw fit to vote for her.

100. It's just good product placement. Walmart is pretty ...

… sophisticated when it comes to product placement. Children don’t buy their own toothbrushes. Mothers of young children buy them. That’s probably the #1 target demographic for a vibrator.

Is Empty now opposed to capitalism’s marketing strategies?
