President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

MTG is still a member of Congress. She will still be there swinging on the GQP necklace in 2022 along with all the other fine members. Take a chill pill.

 

We understand the sentiment and anger, but here's another POV.

1) Since McCarthy clearly didn't drive anything home during their, um, discussion, you can still hang her around the Republicans' necks. But, thank goodness, she won't have inroads to committees or anything else to do further harm within the more formal Congressional boundaries.
2) You should know by now that Republicans have no compassion, shame, accountability or bottom. If they had any of those, your point would be even more valid. But they don't, therefore, wasting your time thinking that the Republicans were going to think about the damage she could do is just that ... a waste of time.
3) Since they didn't expel her – and made the adults in the room, which are most of the Democrats and a handful of Republicans – remove her from the committees - she can continue to rot out the GOP from within. She could well do more damage rattling around in that empty GOP elephant than any outside ammo fired by everyone else could inflict.

 

It was interesting but too wordy.

Taibbi would shape this better.

 

Interesting that Liz Cheney voted to keep Greene on her committees.

Now, Marjorie, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in a cage?
Marjorie, are you goofing on Clinton?
Hey baby, are you losing touch?

If you believe a plane never hit the Pentagon

Hey baby, is Q having fun?

If you believe a plane never hit the pentagon
Hit the pentagon
If you believe everything he says
Then nothing is cool

 

Greene will turn into the Congresswoman whose every fucking bill will be about naming something after Trump. They will all fail, but to her constituents, they will think she is doing a fine job.

 

They did, and when the GQP said no the Dems did it
Why the fuck should she, of all people, be on the Education committee?
And if she requested it why did that moron McCarthy give it to her?

 

Kevin McCarthy always looks like he should be coaching a sub-.500 MVC basketball team, where the AD has given him a public vote of confidence but will fire him at season’s end.

 

Shock!

 

Well, Navalny's back in court, facing charges he defamed a WWII veteran (among others) for participating in a PSA encouraging people to vote in last July's plebiscite (they weren't telling people HOW to vote; they were just telling them TO vote; you know, like we do here). Penalty wouldn't be too harsh, though. A fine and 240 hours of community service.

Maybe he should have just called them "suckers and losers" like his alter ego instead of "lackeys and traitors."



"Oh, here they are, darlings. I must admit that the team of corrupt lackeys looks rather weak. Look at them: this is the shame of the country. People without a conscience. Traitors."

 

50-50-Kamala shows why Ossoff/Warnock was so critical.

The $1.9T package will pass soon.

 

Your ongoing defense of a murderous dictator must pay remarkable dividends at home.
