  1. Some political pundits say that MTG's stunts are "political theatre." The problem with that is she was doing these kinds of things long before she was elected to the House. The people in her district think she's doing an excellent job and should "keep doing what she's doing," proves that the people in her district are a vile and she is.

    1. "What she's doing" is a side show act, and she's accomplishing not one thing. The people of her district who vote for her are actually dumber than Greene herself.

  2. Large Marge is a vile creature, but what does a censure actually do to her?

    1. It gives her more clicks on social media, and, I wish, it'd give the people of her district a few thoughts to roll around in their melons before 2024.

  3. I watched the video, and wondered what would happen as a result. I do hope she is censured, however I suspect the big mouth won't spouting lies. She's too far up IQ45's ass.

    Empty G won't be censured, but sometimes putting the full context of a House member's depravity into the Congressional Record for posterity is important in its own right! ✊

  9. I watched her read the entire resolution and it was IMPRESSIVE! The chances of MTG being censured are slim, but as it was stated earlier, just knowing that the resolution is in the Congressional record brings me joy, sweetpea! xoxo
