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.
ReplyDelete"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.
DeleteLarge Marge is a vile creature, but what does a censure actually do to her?
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteShe'll never change; her constituents need to change her.
DeleteI also wonder about those that have elected her.
ReplyDeleteScary lot, I imagine.
DeleteEmpty 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! ✊
ReplyDeleteThat's my thought exactly.
Deletethe dog's mother
ReplyDeleteLet's add censure to her
list of "accomplishments".
xoxo :-)
Accomplishment, I think; not plural.
Deletexoxo
I thought that rather impressive too
ReplyDeleteIt's funny and sad and sick when you see it all spelled out like that!
DeleteWhereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is pure evil and batshit crazy. Kudos to Representative Becca Balint.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI agree; put all her BS out there in one lump sum.
Deletexoxo
This is SO DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteNot like Large Marge would care because she has no class, no decency and no intelligence, but damn! This is how you show RECEIPTS.
XOXO
Get the word out and VOTE BLUE!
DeleteWell done Ms Balint.
ReplyDeleteSpot on!
DeleteWhile Republicans will ignore this, America is watching and listening.
ReplyDeleteWell, if the GOP can ignore children murdered at school this nothing.
