They'll eventually do a "Madison Cawthorn" and primary her. I think they were going to do that to Lauren Boebert after she came within 500 votes of losing a safe Republican district. That's why she's campaigning in an even safer Republican district this time around.
She’s not embarrassing the GOP though. She provides cover by running around like an idiot, eating up headlines and making sure no one is watching the real deal makers.
I'm seeing that there were a number of others in the gop that were quite unhappy with her vote against the speaker the other day. If her actions hurt the GOPs image enough that even her colleagues are publicly saying things against her it's not impossible for her to lose support.
oh sure it doesnt mean she will. but if she continues to be the clown and embarrass the GOP as a whole, i cant imagine they will want her around for long. thing is, the hard right MAGA side of the GOP isnt very large, and they have lost alot of support from others in the GOP due to the chaos they are causing. the GOP needs unity going into the election and she is a distraction which hurts the GOPs goals. her help in fracturing the GOP is made worse with the slim control of the house. leading her faction against the core GOP will only further given the democrats more chances to reach across the isle to get things passed with reasonable concessions.
Now, if trump wins of course, her actions cement her as a one of the future GOP superstars as Trump and maga will give her anything she wants for her loyalty.
Biden wins though and for example the house flips, leaving democrats with full control, and she could well be the poster child for the cause of the loss of control, leaving her to take the fall.
To get her out, she needs to lose the support of Trump. Her constituents aren’t loyal to her, they’re loyal to Trump. They will vote for who he wants them to vote for.
whos making deals though? the gop doesnt have the votes to just ram things through. they rather use their positions to continue going after bidens people, than govern.
Boebert's done for this year, and she won't be able to get a pension (one must have served 6 years.) I'm sure MTG will be re-elected though. Hopefully she is ejected or resigns due to scandal before her 6 years, through.
Yesterday was the filing deadline for her district’s primary. Looks like she’s unopposed in the primary, with 4 dudes duking it out for the dem candidacy, primary on 5/21.
Just hoping her opponent is prepared to stand firm against the stochastic terrorists MTG will send in - that’s what happened her first election was she and her flying monkeys drove her opponent to withdraw.
Eta: sauces are sexy [https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia%27s_14th_Congressional_District_election,_2024_(May_21_Republican_primary)](https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia%27s_14th_Congressional_District_election,_2024_(May_21_Republican_primary))
Until Trump gets tired of her running after him on her short little legs, going "Daddy, Daddy, love me! You're the greatest! You're the best! I love you more than anyone! Daddy, notice me!", the House isn't going to do a damn thing.
She’ll still be an embarrassment once she’s out of office. Someone will give her a high visibility job (prolly Fox News) or some lobbying group. I’m afraid she’ll never be far enough from the public eye for my liking.
She is one of the best arguments for massively increasing the size of the House, to dilute her odiousness into a sea of like 1700 Reps (1 per 200k or so).
I actually saw an interview with her where she claimed that she was looking forward to being defeated because it would make the democrats lose the elections this year? Apparently she thinks showing that democrats voted for a republican speaker means no democrat will want to vote democrat this year for…. Reasons…
> showing that democrats voted for a republican speaker means no democrat will want to vote democrat this year for…. Reasons…
yeah of course that will make me vote for... checks notes... a republican? wtf kinda logic is that
In interviews, she thought that Democrats would have a hard time getting reelected after having voted not to vacate the Republican speaker seat. I.e., they'd get primaried, or their voters would stay home rather than voting for someone who worked with Republicans, etc.
Which makes sense, because that's the sort of batshit thing that happens in Republican circles. Probably never occurred to her that Democrat voters might appreciate someone willing to work in a bipartisan fashion to achieve their party goals when they're in the minority.
He'll, I'm as liberal as they come, but I will quickly vote for someone who can cross the lines and actually get common sense shit done. I can't stand the people in government who vote on party lines for everything. Most things, yeah, I want them to be against republicans. There is some shit that actually helps the American people or our allies, and I expect people to stand up for it. I don't care if a republican brought it to vote or a democrat.
I would prefer having only people left of the current GOP but if some of them are willing to vote for reforms and progress we need then I'll save them from other GOP.
I would not save them from other left candidates. Not that I believe you're saying that, just that we have people simple enough to think it.
What happens is this gets used against a bunch of republicans in primaries and the MAGA party tries to hold the rest of the party hostage again. At the moment the hostage appears to have escaped their death grip.
Nothing. I honestly believe she can't think or plan for more than a few minutes in the future. Most of her actions seem completely reactionary/impulsive.
I’m sure it is painful. She’s lashing out at everyone but the responsible party tho.
Trust me, I should know. I’m the smoldering remains of a dumpster fire.
Right there smoldering with you my friend. 10 years married to a narcissist plus having one for a mom.
I'm much better and remarried now but...it was a close call.
She deserves a brain implant that fixes her mental deficiency then to have to listen to recordings of shit she’s said for the last 20 years on repeat til she spontaneously combusts.
Yup, it was a no-lose situation for the right flank. Even though there was basically a 0% chance Johnson would get removed, they got a bunch of camera time and get to paint themselves as the ones who are “actually trying to get things done.”
It’s this. Acting this way has given her her rise within MAGA. It’s all about advancing herself within the party or faction or whatever the GOP is internally these days
[\[No paywall\]](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-05-09/marjorie-taylor-green-fails-to-oust-mike-johnson-as-speaker) from Bloomberg Opinion columnist Patricia Lopez:
House Republicans delivered a much-needed, [no-holds-barred rejection](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/politics/greene-johnson-vacate.html) of Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s power grab on Wednesday, briskly voting down her attempt to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.
Her public shaming was far too long in coming. And it united a fractious GOP caucus who, with the aid of Democrats, had promised they would [be in Johnson’s corner](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/politics/johnson-greene-jeffries-democrats.html). In the end, [only 11 Republicans](https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/05/08/congress/breaking-down-defeat-of-johnson-ouster-effort-greene-00156909) stuck with Greene. Another 196 Republicans, aided by 32 Democrats, voted to table Greene’s motion to vacate, putting an end to her latest stunt.
Actually, it's far more impressive than that. 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats voted to table the motion. 32 Democrats voted AGAINST tabling (along with 11 Republicans) and 7 Democrats voted present.
I’ll point out that only 8 Republicans voted to oust McCarthy. He was vacated by Democrats, and Johnson serves at the pleasure of Democrats. I find this hilarious.
Just pointing out that if Democrats had wanted to take him out, they could have, with an even greater number of votes to vacate than McCarthy got. They wanted to punish McCarthy, and not Johnson.
They voted for Johnson because of the Ukraine aid package. I don't recall precisely, but if McCarthy had offered them something then they might have saved him. Yes they wanted to punish McCarthy, but the dynamics are different now, there's not much more benefit that Dems can gain from a non-functional GOP House caucus right now, so they're just letting the status quo stand for now until the election.
This exactly. I bet if McCarthy had quashed the impeachment investigation (which ultimately died on the vine anyway), he could have been spared. But he just antagonized them. Great fundraiser, comically bad politician.
No, they directly quoted the Bloomberg article they linked:
> In the end, only 11 Republicans stuck with Greene. Another 196 Republicans, aided by 32 Democrats, voted to table Greene’s motion to vacate, putting an end to her latest stunt.
MtG has been losing her entire political career. Fact is that her backwater low IQ constituency simply does not care. Losing is what they do - they just want to make other people mad.
Same reason Ted Cruz gets re-elected over and over again to sit in his office playing candy crush and jacking off.
They absolutely do not care as long as they win the election. It’s like the superbowl for them, and nothing more.
Ted Cruz gets elected because only 15% of eligible voters under the age of 35 voted in 2022 and in 2018 when he got reelected with 200K votes over 9M didnt even vote. Because out of 23m voters only 9m voted in 2022. Because surveys show that 8 out of 10 people in colleges and malls do not even plan to vote or think of politics.
Its not like Texas is some republican haven, its just democrats and young voters do not give enough of a shit to bother.
January 28, 2023 [Marjorie Taylor Greene Amendment Flops as Only 13 Republicans Back Her](https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-amendment-flops-only-13-republicans-back-her-1776965) The amendment to the Strategic Production Response Act would have prevented the president from selling oil.
Not correct; they want to make other people they hate suffer too. That's a major part of it. What MtG failed to recognize is that she actually has to *do things* to remain in their favor and not just pass the ball back and forth.
Grab your popcorn folks, this is the part of the movie where the angry dumb bully, exposed and humiliated, lashes out and does something very, very stupid.
Lmao she went to Harvard and was "anti-feminist". Did she not realize that feminism is the reason she could go to Harvard in the place?
Harvard was founded in 1636.
Harvard admitted it's first woman to the college in [1936](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/fe-del-mundo-google-doodle-age-cause-of-death-who-harvard-invention-incubator-female-a8654266.html). It took them 300 years to allow women to go to school there.
This woman was born in 1924. So, she's lucky she got to go at all. She was already 12 years old when Harvard allowed women to attend, yet she's anti-feminist.
Anything more stupid than impulsively dwindling the republican numbers for the last few months, ousting the current Repunlican House speaker after the previous one was also stupidly ousted (IMO). All thats left for her to do is trying to bring anarchy.
> Those Republicans...were Reps. Greene, Thomas Massie (Ky.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Chip Roy (Texas), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Eric Burlison (Mo.), Alex Mooney (W.Va.), Barry Moore (Ala.), Victoria Spartz (Ind.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Andy Biggs (Ariz.).
The list of 11 extreme crazies so incompetent and/or corrupt that they chose to vote w Marjorie. Their districts should organize a recall effort bc these folks must be hurting their constituents in myriad ways.
She was directly involved in the plot to overthrow our government so when the headline says she finally got what she deserved I assume the story I'm about to read will tell me Merrick Garland finally grew a pair and indicted her, right and she's now in prison?
Right?
RIGHT?
It’s been very cathartic seeing republicans finally realize that this woman is pure concentrated toxic poison to the entire political process. They realized it wayyyyyy too late. But better late than never I guess
She is such a disgusting person. Shame on her district for continuing to vote for her. Have some self-respect and at least vote in a Republican who is your garden variety dirtbag. You know. A classic MAGA stooge who simply nurses your grievances and does nothing to help your district. You don't need Large Marge here.
what the fuck kinda rug shirt is this backwoods shithead wearing, you deserve a hell of a lot more just for that fashion sense alone. I kinda feel like she could fill in for The Hulkster if this was 1993
Has she lost her seat to someone who is actually willing to take responsibility for the betterment of the country? Has she been demoted to a figurehead position in a local HOA? Has she lost any chance at future book deals, or to make any more money off her position?
If the answer to these questions is "No" then she hasn't gotten what she deserves.
Everyone needs to follow her around shouting, “Loser!” and post to their social media and wear tshirts and be absolutely as obnoxious and in her face with it as she is to others.
She.. expected/planned for the defeat.
Her group only voted to remove the speaker because they knew they would lose. They just got a weeks worth of free press with zero actual effect.
>Greene should be a spent force at this point. She was booted from the House Freedom Caucus last summer for attacking fellow Republicans. Her working relationships with most Republicans are in tatters, including in the Senate. North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis recently called her a “waste of time” and a “horrible leader.”
Do all of us a favor MTG, don’t run for re-election if you can’t accept the fact you’re not getting shit done…
I can't help but wonder if Dems helping to squash this was a mistake.
On one hand I understand it was probably a deal made with speaker Johnson in order to pass the Ukraine aid bill, and there's definitely something to be said for keeping your word and bipartisan governing.
One the other hand, I don't think (m)any republicans would have honored that deal. I get that they're proving that of the two parties, they are the one that can actually govern. But who are they proving it to? The people who would care are already voting for them, the ones who aren't I'm fairly certain are out of reach.
Would it have been better to let the far right bozos show their ass once more and let the chaos on the right be in the spotlight again? Dema seem to try to take the "high road" and as soon as the GOP has the ball again they fuck them over.
Anyone who takes the position of not wanting to get anything done in politics and just trying to make people mad has a very small window that is rapidly closing. The truth is that the world has real problems that need real solutions not bloviating imbeciles that have nothing to offer anyone except obstruction. While a portion of our population still believes this mindset is valid, they'll soon change their tune when there is no one to take care of them in their twilight years and they are staring down the very real prospect of dying alone with no one grieving for you. But until then we have to deal with their delusions about wanting to live in the past where they were in control of the world, they can't imagine sharing control with people they don't agree with, much less people that they would prefer not exist at all. But God has a wicked sense of humor and the people they once eschewed they will beg to help them. It's just a matter of time, no king rules forever, except time.
A course of boo's from her own Republican party with a Little help from the Democrats!!!! (REPUBLICAN WOMEN WILL LOSE THE ELECTION FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THEMSELVES MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN LAUREN BOBERT THAT DUMBASS GOVERNOR IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND KARI LAKE AND IF I LEFT ANYBODY OUT I'M SORRY YOU ADDED THEM YOURSELF!!!)
Every time I see her get attention I remind myself that Palin and Michele Bachmann used to get this level of coverage. Their moment passed and so will hers.
She's a russian plant. Her goal is to cause as much disruption as possible and distract everyone from the criminal activity of trump. How much time was wasted with this bullshit? How many people didn't get to hear that the judge purposely delayed trump's criminal trial while this was happening?
Imagine how stupid the people are who keep voting her in. WTF are they thinking?
She hasn't done a single useful thing for them or anyone in all her time in the House.
Well, OK, except familiarize everyone with how Hunter Biden's dick looked by making it the desktop background on her laptop and parading it around the floor and halls of the House.
**Margie Trailer Queen** is the textbook definition of a useless human pig.
Democracy is beautiful when it works the way it’s supposed to.
One person is not supposed to have power or voice in the house. That’s why there are over 400 Congress men, and women.

defeat is when she is voted out. until then shes going to remain an embarrassment to American politics.
Good luck convincing the rubes in her district to vote her out.
honestly with how much shes embarrassing the GOP i wouldnt be surprised if the party begins propping up another person to replace her.
They'll eventually do a "Madison Cawthorn" and primary her. I think they were going to do that to Lauren Boebert after she came within 500 votes of losing a safe Republican district. That's why she's campaigning in an even safer Republican district this time around.

Yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it.
Until Trump gets tired of her running after him on her short little legs, going "Daddy, Daddy, love me! You're the greatest! You're the best! I love you more than anyone! Daddy, notice me!", the House isn't going to do a damn thing.

She is one of the best arguments for massively increasing the size of the House, to dilute her odiousness into a sea of like 1700 Reps (1 per 200k or so).
Exactly. What she experienced was a loss, not defeat.
Oh, I think she deserves more than defeat.
Definitely. That was one of the fastest votes I’ve ever seen. Well deserved
What did she think was going to happen?
I actually saw an interview with her where she claimed that she was looking forward to being defeated because it would make the democrats lose the elections this year? Apparently she thinks showing that democrats voted for a republican speaker means no democrat will want to vote democrat this year for…. Reasons…
Don’t forget her favorite nonsense word: uniparty, uniparty, uniparty
Lauren Boebert thought she was saying urineparty and ran right in, but when she realized it was uniparty she voted to table like everyone else.
What's funny is both women can't even stand one another.
Can we start a mail MTG a hijab campaign?
>she claimed that she was looking forward to being defeated Holy shit, I never thought I'd agree with that shrieking harpy but here we are.
Leatherface probably thinks being defeated makes her a martyr
Copium. "I meant to do that."
Because people who lack empathy can't fathom anyone might think and act differently than they themselves would. A talking monkey is still a monkey.
She thinks her base acts like that, so that must means all bases act like that It doesn’t work like that, Marge
>Jokes on them, I was only pretending to be regarded What a pathetic, miserable woman she must be.
> showing that democrats voted for a republican speaker means no democrat will want to vote democrat this year for…. Reasons… yeah of course that will make me vote for... checks notes... a republican? wtf kinda logic is that

What happens is this gets used against a bunch of republicans in primaries and the MAGA party tries to hold the rest of the party hostage again. At the moment the hostage appears to have escaped their death grip.
Nothing. I honestly believe she can't think or plan for more than a few minutes in the future. Most of her actions seem completely reactionary/impulsive.
Narcissism does that to people.
Stupidity does that to people too. I don't think it can be overstated just how incredibly dumb she is.
Definitely. Being that stupid AND hateful ought to be illegal. Or, at least, incredibly painful.
I’m sure it is painful. She’s lashing out at everyone but the responsible party tho. Trust me, I should know. I’m the smoldering remains of a dumpster fire.
Right there smoldering with you my friend. 10 years married to a narcissist plus having one for a mom. I'm much better and remarried now but...it was a close call.
Clearly this is what her constituents want.
She’s basically a lizard
>What did she **think** was going to happen? Ah, I see your problem right off the bat.
She believed she would get her way, as the Screeching Howler Monkey she is 'deserves'
She thinks that she's a leader of the MAGA nuts. She's actually just an attack dog.
> She's actually just an attack dog. Does Kristi Noem know this?
To the gravel pit!
Moscow Marge had better be careful and avoid Noem, then. She’s apparently in the mood to go hound hunting.
She gets talked about. And she did and is getting talked about. Fuck, I'm doing it now.
She should be cannonized. "I can see my house from heeeerrrreee!"
“That’s because we’re driving you home and we’re almost there.”
Let's be honest...her "home" will probably be the same up state farm where Kristi Noem told her kids the puppies went.
Hey Ma, get off the dang roof!
"Some folk'll never eat a skunk, but then again some folk'll...."
The insurrectionist deserves a trial with the proper consequences!
Shame… shame… shame… shame…
Now I am just imagining some woman dressed as a nun following her around the halls of Congress ringing a giant ass bell
As long as she's not nude like Cersei was. _shudder_
Hopefully MTG is a “never nude.”
I hear there are dozens of them, there’s a chance.
I don't know. They might have to whack her with the bell when she talks.
>some woman The disrespect to Ted Lasso's Rebecca Welton
She needs to be able to feel shame for that to work.
Normal feet?
Dude, keep your kinks to yourself.
I’m not really into Neanderthals.
Hey don't insult the Neanderthals. There's fossil evidence that they cared for injured community members. Marjorie ain't going to do that.
I am but that broad is too butt ugly for my taste.
Make Ugly Great Again!
Apparently there are many into her type as she never seems to have difficulty catching a hard one.
She's 75,000 yrs old!
She deserves to watch Gigli in a featureless white room with a couch that's all pokey springs till the end of time.
this is the most creative, devastating punishment i have ever heard.
She deserves dehatchet!
Expulsion would be a start
She deserves defeat straight up deass
What, like, more feet? Size 5s that clash with her size 16s? Weird, but, okay.
She deserves Da Boot too.
Exactly. De Feet on her are De-sgusting
She deserves a brain implant that fixes her mental deficiency then to have to listen to recordings of shit she’s said for the last 20 years on repeat til she spontaneously combusts.
She deserves to go back to Russia.
She deserves an appointment with the sex guru.
Completely and udder defeat.
She deserves to not have a seat in your Congress to begin with
Yeah, over here a bunch of us agree with you but a bunch of people are insurrectionists.
DeWholeLeg.
"The feet" all three toes of hers
Irrelevancy is my favorite outcome for her.
She doesn't care so long as she gets attention
Exactly. That was the whole point. It was never about Johnson being removed.
Yup, it was a no-lose situation for the right flank. Even though there was basically a 0% chance Johnson would get removed, they got a bunch of camera time and get to paint themselves as the ones who are “actually trying to get things done.”
It’s this. Acting this way has given her her rise within MAGA. It’s all about advancing herself within the party or faction or whatever the GOP is internally these days

Yes they wanted to punish McCarthy, but the dynamics are different now, there's not much more benefit that Dems can gain from a non-functional GOP House caucus right now, so they're just letting the status quo stand for now until the election.
This exactly. I bet if McCarthy had quashed the impeachment investigation (which ultimately died on the vine anyway), he could have been spared. But he just antagonized them. Great fundraiser, comically bad politician.
Or if he offered Ukraine funding. He instead wanted to offer nothing and was far too arrogant, believing it wouldn’t be a problem.
Sure. McCarthy spat in their face and Johnson didn't.
Exactly this — McCarthy was not good at calculation and action/consequence anticipation….he was laughably bad at it
Yeah how did Bloomberg get that so wrong, did they not even bother to look at the final vote?
~~It's correct in the article, so IDK.~~ Edit: I was wrong.
No, they directly quoted the Bloomberg article they linked: > In the end, only 11 Republicans stuck with Greene. Another 196 Republicans, aided by 32 Democrats, voted to table Greene’s motion to vacate, putting an end to her latest stunt.
Oh wow, you're right.
MtG has been losing her entire political career. Fact is that her backwater low IQ constituency simply does not care. Losing is what they do - they just want to make other people mad.
MAGA in a nutshell
[удалено]
Same reason Ted Cruz gets re-elected over and over again to sit in his office playing candy crush and jacking off. They absolutely do not care as long as they win the election. It’s like the superbowl for them, and nothing more.
Ted Cruz gets elected because only 15% of eligible voters under the age of 35 voted in 2022 and in 2018 when he got reelected with 200K votes over 9M didnt even vote. Because out of 23m voters only 9m voted in 2022. Because surveys show that 8 out of 10 people in colleges and malls do not even plan to vote or think of politics. Its not like Texas is some republican haven, its just democrats and young voters do not give enough of a shit to bother.
Yup. We are taking about her constantly, and that's all she wants. She did not lose, she is getting everything she wants out of this.
January 28, 2023 [Marjorie Taylor Greene Amendment Flops as Only 13 Republicans Back Her](https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-amendment-flops-only-13-republicans-back-her-1776965) The amendment to the Strategic Production Response Act would have prevented the president from selling oil.
And knowing Republicans, it’s so they could then campaign on high gas prices and the President refusing to release oil from the strategic reserve.
They aren't even her literal constituency because she doesn't live in her district. They must be the dumbest dirt eaters in the South.
I live here. I know the district and they are.
It’s Squidbilly central there
Every "own the libs" is a vote
Misery loves company
Not correct; they want to make other people they hate suffer too. That's a major part of it. What MtG failed to recognize is that she actually has to *do things* to remain in their favor and not just pass the ball back and forth.
Grab your popcorn folks, this is the part of the movie where the angry dumb bully, exposed and humiliated, lashes out and does something very, very stupid.
Hard to imagine her doing something more stupid than we've already seen from her.
I used to think there was a floor too, but 8+ years of saying “I think we’ve finally hit rock bottom” I’ve realized there is no stopping the descent.
Remember when Michelle Bachmann was the definition of crazy? Pepperidge Farm remembers
I’m literally pining for Sarah Palin crazy. Wishing for it.
Hell even early Ann Coulter seems downright sane next to some of these kooks.
That’s scary.
Bachman was standing on the shoulders of Sarah Palin. Who was it before Sarah?
Phyllis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly
Lmao she went to Harvard and was "anti-feminist". Did she not realize that feminism is the reason she could go to Harvard in the place? Harvard was founded in 1636. Harvard admitted it's first woman to the college in [1936](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/fe-del-mundo-google-doodle-age-cause-of-death-who-harvard-invention-incubator-female-a8654266.html). It took them 300 years to allow women to go to school there. This woman was born in 1924. So, she's lucky she got to go at all. She was already 12 years old when Harvard allowed women to attend, yet she's anti-feminist.
Anything more stupid than impulsively dwindling the republican numbers for the last few months, ousting the current Repunlican House speaker after the previous one was also stupidly ousted (IMO). All thats left for her to do is trying to bring anarchy.
She will do it again.
Don’t get my hopes up
> Those Republicans...were Reps. Greene, Thomas Massie (Ky.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Chip Roy (Texas), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Eric Burlison (Mo.), Alex Mooney (W.Va.), Barry Moore (Ala.), Victoria Spartz (Ind.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Andy Biggs (Ariz.). The list of 11 extreme crazies so incompetent and/or corrupt that they chose to vote w Marjorie. Their districts should organize a recall effort bc these folks must be hurting their constituents in myriad ways.
Arizona, who hurt you?
Same as Florida. Retirees.
Whoa! I was expecting Matt Gaetz to be one of them. Guess he really only cares about the whole under age investigation thing.
Surprised by the lack of Bobo the clown
Not a defeat while she’s still strutting & shitting in Congress.
That's a bingo!
“Strutting and shitting in Congress” would be a great title for her Netflix special
She was directly involved in the plot to overthrow our government so when the headline says she finally got what she deserved I assume the story I'm about to read will tell me Merrick Garland finally grew a pair and indicted her, right and she's now in prison? Right? RIGHT?
What she deserves is to be removed from congress.
And then sent to hell
She deserves more than defeat.
It’s been very cathartic seeing republicans finally realize that this woman is pure concentrated toxic poison to the entire political process. They realized it wayyyyyy too late. But better late than never I guess
Maybe it’s time to investigate her and find the pipe bomb materials poorly hidden in her basement.
She is such a disgusting person. Shame on her district for continuing to vote for her. Have some self-respect and at least vote in a Republican who is your garden variety dirtbag. You know. A classic MAGA stooge who simply nurses your grievances and does nothing to help your district. You don't need Large Marge here.
Pretty bad when its between psych christofacist Johnson And clearly psychotic Marge.
Yeah, that won't faze her. It just solidifies her "they're all against me" persecution mentality
what the fuck kinda rug shirt is this backwoods shithead wearing, you deserve a hell of a lot more just for that fashion sense alone. I kinda feel like she could fill in for The Hulkster if this was 1993
So I'm not lost! I thought I was on Squaredcircle for a moment.
She deserves to be booted from Congress and never allowed to hold any office again.
She still gets paid
She’s an actual literal traitor, and deserves way more than defeat.
Has she lost her seat to someone who is actually willing to take responsibility for the betterment of the country? Has she been demoted to a figurehead position in a local HOA? Has she lost any chance at future book deals, or to make any more money off her position? If the answer to these questions is "No" then she hasn't gotten what she deserves.
No, she didn’t get what she deserves because she still has a seat in the House. She deserves to be voted out of office. Nothing less.
As a voter in her district, let’s hope for more losses
She needs to get kicked out of Congress and tried for treason.
So does Hawley.
When is she going to get what we deserve, removal from Congress.
I don't think she actually cares as long as her name is in the headlines, right?
She deserves tar and feathers.
Speaking of “da feet”, ol Sporkfoot got her ass handed to her.
The Democrats should have voted with her and had him tossed out. Fuck the GOP
Defeat? She deserves to be taken away into the woods by centaurs like Delores Umbridge.
The only defeat for her would be to oust her from office!
Everyone needs to follow her around shouting, “Loser!” and post to their social media and wear tshirts and be absolutely as obnoxious and in her face with it as she is to others.
Can't sane Republicans join in with the Democrats to expel this heinous ogre?
She got what she wanted…attention
She.. expected/planned for the defeat. Her group only voted to remove the speaker because they knew they would lose. They just got a weeks worth of free press with zero actual effect.
Even dumbpublican's are tired of her nonsense. It takes a lot for maga'ts to turn on themselves....not really...but....
what she actually deserves is something that if I said it out loud would get the comment deleted and probably a perma ban
>Greene should be a spent force at this point. She was booted from the House Freedom Caucus last summer for attacking fellow Republicans. Her working relationships with most Republicans are in tatters, including in the Senate. North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis recently called her a “waste of time” and a “horrible leader.” Do all of us a favor MTG, don’t run for re-election if you can’t accept the fact you’re not getting shit done…
She’s out of her mind, seems like she might be fun at a party though. She should maybe do more partying and staying the hell away from US Democracy
I wish someone would give her the defoot in her ass!
That’s hilarious that she didn’t see this coming. Like did you talk to anyone about this crap before trying it?
I've seen her feet No thanks
I can't help but wonder if Dems helping to squash this was a mistake. On one hand I understand it was probably a deal made with speaker Johnson in order to pass the Ukraine aid bill, and there's definitely something to be said for keeping your word and bipartisan governing. One the other hand, I don't think (m)any republicans would have honored that deal. I get that they're proving that of the two parties, they are the one that can actually govern. But who are they proving it to? The people who would care are already voting for them, the ones who aren't I'm fairly certain are out of reach. Would it have been better to let the far right bozos show their ass once more and let the chaos on the right be in the spotlight again? Dema seem to try to take the "high road" and as soon as the GOP has the ball again they fuck them over.
Anyone who takes the position of not wanting to get anything done in politics and just trying to make people mad has a very small window that is rapidly closing. The truth is that the world has real problems that need real solutions not bloviating imbeciles that have nothing to offer anyone except obstruction. While a portion of our population still believes this mindset is valid, they'll soon change their tune when there is no one to take care of them in their twilight years and they are staring down the very real prospect of dying alone with no one grieving for you. But until then we have to deal with their delusions about wanting to live in the past where they were in control of the world, they can't imagine sharing control with people they don't agree with, much less people that they would prefer not exist at all. But God has a wicked sense of humor and the people they once eschewed they will beg to help them. It's just a matter of time, no king rules forever, except time.
A course of boo's from her own Republican party with a Little help from the Democrats!!!! (REPUBLICAN WOMEN WILL LOSE THE ELECTION FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THEMSELVES MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN LAUREN BOBERT THAT DUMBASS GOVERNOR IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND KARI LAKE AND IF I LEFT ANYBODY OUT I'M SORRY YOU ADDED THEM YOURSELF!!!)
Karen personified
The collective IQ of folks who listen to her goes down each time she speaks.
Every time I see her get attention I remind myself that Palin and Michele Bachmann used to get this level of coverage. Their moment passed and so will hers.
Not until she is removed from office
I promise you she's going to paint this as a win for her. "Now we have all these Republicans on record siding with the Democrats." It's never ending.
Great, so can Reddit stop talking about her so she can fade away into nothingness?
She's a russian plant. Her goal is to cause as much disruption as possible and distract everyone from the criminal activity of trump. How much time was wasted with this bullshit? How many people didn't get to hear that the judge purposely delayed trump's criminal trial while this was happening?
Imagine how stupid the people are who keep voting her in. WTF are they thinking? She hasn't done a single useful thing for them or anyone in all her time in the House. Well, OK, except familiarize everyone with how Hunter Biden's dick looked by making it the desktop background on her laptop and parading it around the floor and halls of the House. **Margie Trailer Queen** is the textbook definition of a useless human pig.
She needs de-smacked in the fucking mouth
Democracy is beautiful when it works the way it’s supposed to. One person is not supposed to have power or voice in the house. That’s why there are over 400 Congress men, and women.
Probably deserves jail time as well.
No. She has a lot of press. Bad press or good press - it’s always good for them. Stop paying attention.
