      The only ways that response could have been less mature would be if Greene responded “I know you are, but what am I” or replied “I am rubber and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!”

    She then stole a congressman’s sandwich from his hands while he was eating it and threw it in the trash. Then she said your mom was ugly.

    Srsly North Georgia. Goddamn. You understand that’s humiliating for you, yes?

          Yeah well, I’ve been around curry that could be called lethal. Skeletons are lucky, they can eat whatever without having to worry about heartburn or gas pains.

              I’ve been interested in death as a character as long as I can remember. I was the weird kid drawing skulls during history class in junior high. Not getting good grades, but definitely working on those skulls and skeletons. Last count I had 35 or 36 various skulls in my bedroom alone - but none are real, they’re all pieces or parts of halloween props mostly.

        I’m fairly certain he’ll just topple over from his weird standing position one day and won’t be able to get up.

    Cult experts saw this coming years ago. This is a purity cult on top of a cult of personality. Purity cults are doomed to shrink and fracture, especially with as many ambitious people are part of this one. If you can’t kiss that ring as hard as the person one-upping you for Dear Leader’s attention, your loyalty is called into question, implicitly or explicitly.

    I wish it would splinter and die faster.

      We really need to kick GOP ass come the 2024 election, there’s no ifs or buts about it. They’re stumbling right now and so is Trump, no fucking mercy.

      I live in a state that’s one big (well it used to be) purity culture - Utah. The idea that people are “saints” and kids totally innocent and heaven will be a white-washed temple without sin or alcohol - even worse, with no gambling. I’m fine if these people want to live in a sanitized “paradise” made of unicorn farts and sunshine (unicorn farts are made of white cotton candy, so - no problem there). To me, that’s my literal definition of being in hell, having to spend an eternity with these white nationalist “Saintly” morons.

        On the bright side, the trend towards Christianity being the minority will come in probably the next 50 years (hopefully the threshold for irrelevance is sooner). If we can hold out, we’ll get to see them lose their place of power.

          I’ll be long gone by then, but I do hope that trend continues. Society needs to break free of the dark ages once and for all and stop living in fear of human progress.

    Imagine living in a place so terrible that this sort of behavior is wildly popular with the electorate. She won with 65% support in 2022. GA’s 14th consists mostly of immature sociopaths, it seems.

      Decorum. That’s rich. Most zoos have more decorum than the House of Reps these days. I call for zip ties and duct tape.

      She does that because she thrives on negative attention. She deliberately will concoct the most idiotic and unpopular opinion because - look how effective it is, it gets on the news, and we’re all talking about it. Yet people have told me she does not act like that at all in private, not even slightly.

      Especially families like Jeff Dahmers, staunch Republicans who blame the world for “corrupting” their son - because obviously their own dysfunctionalism and hate of others had no influence on him of any kind at all.

    Never thought I’d see an example of Darrell Issa being the reasonable person in an argument. Bad times…

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) called fellow GOP Rep. Darrell Issa (Calif.) a p‑‑‑‑ Tuesday after he attacked her for lacking the “maturity and experience” to understand the proper way to bring an impeachment vote against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

    Issa had defended himself Tuesday morning against criticism — especially from Greene — for his vote to punt the impeachment measure on Mayorkas back to committee.

    Asked what he, as a seasoned member of Congress, thinks of Greene’s plan to bring a privileged resolution on a Mayorkas impeachment, Issa attacked her “maturity and experience.”

    But she, I believe, she lacks the maturity and the experience to understand what she was asking for, and how ill prepared we would have been to do it on short notice on the floor,” he continued.

    Tensions are high among House Republicans following the ouster of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) early last month and the caucus’s subsequent struggles to replace him before the eventual election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.

    Also on Tuesday, Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.), one of the Republicans who voted to strip McCarthy of his gavel, chased the former Speaker down a Capitol hallway after accusing him of elbowing him.


    The original article contains 574 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 65%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Wow one bucket cunt calling out another - what a great country and great example for our kids to follow. I’m sure proud to have these walking excrementals representing our country. At last, the world can see what america truly is and what people truly are all about.
