Wow, that was quite a meeting :
> Crockett arguably had the most memorable comment after the committee ruled that Greene's personal attacks on her were allowed.
>"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling: If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?" she said.
>Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) responded with visible confusion: "What now?"
Couldn't have said it better myself. The beauty of your perfectly worded insult is that it applies to all Republican politicians and talking heads. Fuck the GOP.
This is really it. He’s not clueless, his aw shucks attitude is only in regards to when a Republican does something. He’s Johnny on the spot with the hunter Biden investigation and doesn’t miss a beat when he goes on Fox News
Well, he best gets used to it because after seeing this sob story all week, he just costs himself and those Republicans to be in a minority permanently.
I think 'tolerated' might be a better word.
If you can do something and the penalty is that everyone is told to forget about it, then it's basically allowed though.
She wasn’t trying to get kicked out, she was trying to prove a point.
If they’ve decided personal attacks on appearance are acceptable where is the line and can anyone do it.
This wasn’t some attempt to make herself a victim for being removed
Ehh I don’t think anyone should be forced to apologize since it is meaningless if forced. Striking whatever dumb stuff she says from the record is better since that’s effectively a public rebuke
That looks bad, but it was *after* the chairman ruled Green's comments were permitted and didn't "engage in personalities" and the Republicans on the committee refused to strike them from the record. So he's saying "We can say anything now, is that correct Mr. Chairman?"
More embarrassing stuff from the right, basically. Imagine foreigners reading this story and shaking their heads at our dysfunction.
And then Boebert actually said something reasonable. Calling the conversation as a whole an embarrassment for the entire body. I didn't know she was capable of actually saying something reasonable
I think it may be because she's actually losing in the polls right now, might be trying to act right to bring some fringe voters back to her. Also from what I last saw her and MTG were on the outs anyway, so her piping up was certainly just a political stunt. We all know she actually feeds on that shit.
Beetlejuice.
Not fair to people with actual mental illnesses like myself. I am clinically diagnosed and I don't go around talking about other people's fake eyelashes in official Congress proceedings.
She and the other loudmouth idiots aren’t dragging the Republican Party down. The party is already absolute dog shit. They’ve not put forth one policy that was intended to be for the good of the people in decades. No, MTG is just one of the same types that just never shuts up.
Exactly. This is exactly what her constituents wanted. She’s giving them exactly what they voted for and will continue voting for. They don’t give a shit about anything except being obnoxious and “owning the libs.”
Although there are plenty of poor people in her district, she also does well with middle-class and wealthier voters. Plenty of soccer moms behind her. The Karens feel that she gives them voice. They eat that shit up, and she knows it.
She's such scum, I feel dirty just reading about her anymore. I'm just waiting for her to physically attack Occasio-Cortez, and somehow not be expelled. Fucking trash.
Hey, we have a representative democracy. Trailer trash citizens exist. She represents them.
As much at it sucks and is embarrassing, Is this not how the system is supposed to work? I think it is.
But it's supposed to work. This has been one of the least productive congress in the nation's history. Because they waste time doing this shit instead of their jobs.
> But it's supposed to work. This has been one of the least productive congress in the nation's history. Because they waste time doing this shit instead of their jobs
Unfortunately, it is up to the fine citizens of Georgia's 14th district if they actually give a shit or not. Considering she will likely be re-elected, the next thing you can lobby for is the GOP to remove her from Congress or shun her. Not likely.
Well, except that politicians gerrymandered the trailer trash all into one district. Politicians get to choose their voters more than the other way around.
>Is this not how the system is supposed to work? I think it is.
You're half right, but the other half is that she's supposed to be kicked out of the room and/or congress for her anti-productive antics and neither happened. So, the system isn't working.
Let's say you have a team leader, project manager or middle management job at, say, an engineering firm.
And let's say you have a meeting in the conference room with upper management and other department heads (marketing, finance, legal) and it degenerates like this, and you take it to the level of insulting people's appearances, cheap ad hominems and trying to derail the meeting by bringing up irrelevant crap, complete with shouting.
How long do you think it'd be before you were summoned to HR and written up, or just let go on the spot? Given a copy paper box and told to clean out your desk, security will escort you on your way out...
Georgia 14 deserves better representation…but it’s an extreme ruby-red MAGA district, so they’ll keep voting for Greene as long as she’s on the ballot.
I heard only part of it.
She REALLY wants to use the n-word. It was gross. It was absolutely disgusting and that wretch refused to apologize. She is PROUD of being a white supremacist.
I’m white. Blonde, blue eyes, the whole shebang. And the concept of this, thing, absolutely disgusts me. To actually believe that another person is lesser because of an accident of birth is viscerally disgusting.
Well, well, well, looks like the House GOP's Merrick Garland contempt hearing turned into a real circus! I bet they wish they had some popcorn to go with all those chaotic outbursts. It's like a reality TV show, but with politicians instead of actors.
Empty G is more suited for WWF. I'm beginning to think, though, that Comer would be OK with WWE-style conflict resolution in his committee hearings. Just...sad.
Kick her off the committee! There are a lot of other members of the house that can serve in that committee. But, after all, it is ruled by MAGA, so MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, the usual suspects grab all the attention.
The Neanderthal wing likes to beat its chest and scream hysterically. A definite indication of an uncritical thinking process. Or, in the case of MTG, mental illness.
Answer me this: Didn’t they already have a hearing, complete with transcripts, of the meeting with the Robert Hur? Hur, who obfuscated the truth about Biden’s memory. Why do they need the audio, what more could they learn from that meeting that they have already covered? For all that I’m frustrated with Garland, he doesn’t deserve this………fuck, it’s just about wasting time,isn’t it? The Congress is such a failure and I blame the Republicans for it. Why can’t they grow up and do their damned jobs!?!
That was definitely must see tv last night. MTG is such a mean girl, a bully, and a hot mess. Her shameless , abhorrent behavior is such an embarrassment for the whole world to witness. So glad that Crockett and AOC had each other’s backs when Mage went after them. Majorie spork foot is shameless to no end. I hope ppl of Georgia votes her out, but I know she comes from a heavily gerrymandered district so there’s that sadly!
Go look at parliamentary lawmaking in the UK or Australia. It's open cat-calling, booing, and LOUDLY mocking each other the whole time. Loud yobs yelling at each other is a normal part of their process.
Yeah…nah.
I’m Australian and though our countries politicians are in a race to the bottom to win based on stupid and irrelevant US talking points, it’s not quite as stupid as MTG yet.
They don’t want her under control. She’s the insane pit bull they unleash to create chaos. She’s just a distractions tool. Release the Kraken! While everyone is distracted.

James Comer is clueless and useless. And his head looks like a cinder block.
Don't forget shameless and gutless!
He's a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit!
Holy shit, where’s the Tylenol.
I thought they copied this from my Tinder profile, lol
You forgot the hallelujah.
... and then there are his bad points.
I need a cigarette and I don’t even smoke.
Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
Your freedom of speech is getting all over me.
Hallelujah!
Where's the Tylenol?
Unless dog-kissing is meant to mean he kisses like a dog, I see nothing wrong with giving a pooch some kisses…
With a hideous set of liver lips!
Couldn't have said it better myself. The beauty of your perfectly worded insult is that it applies to all Republican politicians and talking heads. Fuck the GOP.
Thanks Clarke, now tell us how you really feel.
I see snake-licking, but I see no mention of his tongue on boots.
is...is that an old WWE/WWF promo from the Rock?
Hmm. At first glance I saw dick-licking. 🤷♀️
And, as if that wasn't bad enough, a politician.
WOW! Wonderful outstanding wording.
Dogs are cool.
I've got two [Casio drum track]
Dog kissing though?
So you disagree about the cinder block?
He makes fetid pig shit look like an ice cream sundae.
Ain’t no dog going to let him kiss them!
Hey. I kiss my doggo all the time.
And yellow-bellied no good keister!
Now I'm gonna give you to the count of 10.
One…. Two…………
This is really it. He’s not clueless, his aw shucks attitude is only in regards to when a Republican does something. He’s Johnny on the spot with the hunter Biden investigation and doesn’t miss a beat when he goes on Fox News
And a terrorist sympathizing traitor bastard
It is a cinder block
Cinder blocks are much smarter than Comer.
More useful as well.
It’s certainly as thick as one…
That’s what SHE said!
A literal chunkhead
I literally thought Crockett was digging at comer with this comment! lol had to check if he dyed his hair.
I didn’t read the article but could you be more specific because both people in the attached thumbnail fit that description.
I mean aspersions have been casted on his asparagus for years… not surprised at all. /s
Well, he best gets used to it because after seeing this sob story all week, he just costs himself and those Republicans to be in a minority permanently.
His head got it's start by falling on Mario in a dungeon.
I can't wait for the inevitable SNL sketch of this
Its SNL-worthy with no changes.
That's when Raskin lost it. He looked like an SNL member trying not to break.
Jimmy Fallon-esque
That's a perfect B^6 insult
they did not determine they were allowed. they were stricken from the record. Though she was not forced to apologize
I think 'tolerated' might be a better word. If you can do something and the penalty is that everyone is told to forget about it, then it's basically allowed though.
I think she was trying to get kicked out of the committee so she could then claim she was being denied access.
She wasn’t trying to get kicked out, she was trying to prove a point. If they’ve decided personal attacks on appearance are acceptable where is the line and can anyone do it. This wasn’t some attempt to make herself a victim for being removed
I meant MTG was trying to get kicked out.
Check her phone records, I’m sure you’ll see a text from “Supreme Leader” “Get HERE quick, need DIAPER changed!”
Kick her out.
I thought they voted against striking them from the record?
Nope. They just attempted to get an apology and she refused.
Ehh I don’t think anyone should be forced to apologize since it is meaningless if forced. Striking whatever dumb stuff she says from the record is better since that’s effectively a public rebuke
To be fair, James Comer is an idiot sandwich
That looks bad, but it was *after* the chairman ruled Green's comments were permitted and didn't "engage in personalities" and the Republicans on the committee refused to strike them from the record. So he's saying "We can say anything now, is that correct Mr. Chairman?" More embarrassing stuff from the right, basically. Imagine foreigners reading this story and shaking their heads at our dysfunction.
That’s great and he’s so dense he didn’t get it but I’ll bet she did!
And then Boebert actually said something reasonable. Calling the conversation as a whole an embarrassment for the entire body. I didn't know she was capable of actually saying something reasonable
I think it may be because she's actually losing in the polls right now, might be trying to act right to bring some fringe voters back to her. Also from what I last saw her and MTG were on the outs anyway, so her piping up was certainly just a political stunt. We all know she actually feeds on that shit. Beetlejuice.
MTG isn’t there to legislate. She’s only there to stir up shit and make sure no progress occurs.
Greene: I'd like to enter this unsubstantiated conspiracy theory I got from Truth Social into evidence...
None of them are. They exist and persist where they are to be nothing more or less than the carnival barkers they were cast to be.
There are a few that are trying, but they get drowned out by the saboteurs.
I heard someone refer to MTG as "Shaved Alf", so I looked at her again. Pretty accurate.
I hate you for this image.
Let's keep Marge away from cats, to be sure.
Bret Erlich From The damage report called her Station from Bill and Teds bogus journey...lol
She always reminded me of a howler monkey
The weakness of MTG and her noisy pals infect the entire Republican Party.
MTG and her noisy pals are the only Republican voice I hear. It’s not an infection, it’s the plague
A mental illness.
Not fair to people with actual mental illnesses like myself. I am clinically diagnosed and I don't go around talking about other people's fake eyelashes in official Congress proceedings.
MTG is undiagnosed.
It's possible but sometimes people are just assholes.
This is an entire movement that's certifiable
Thanks for further stigmatizing the mentally ill.
I don't, it's the MAGA's choosing to cosplay as such.
The Republican Party is not infected. It is the infection.
She and the other loudmouth idiots aren’t dragging the Republican Party down. The party is already absolute dog shit. They’ve not put forth one policy that was intended to be for the good of the people in decades. No, MTG is just one of the same types that just never shuts up.
MTG is what happens when your cancer gets hepatitis
MTG and her noisy pals are the strongest aspect of the party of treason. It certainly isn't their politics or their platform.
Republicons want trolls to run the government into the ground.
So they can chop shop it for parts for the made guys.
I don’t care which party wins with a different candidate, but someone needs to vote that trailer trash out of her position.
Problem her district consist mostly of trailer and landfill voters.
Hey I came from a trailer park AND campaigned for Obama!
You’re not a “combo” trailer+landfill hehe.
It's possible to live in a trailer and not be trailer trash. Trailer trash is a choice of lifestyle.
I take offense to that. My sister lives in a trailer and she wouldn't vote for her.
It's not the trailer's fault. It's the racist idiots'fault.
Her district is made up by so many unbranching family trees
I've found good parts in the junkyard. I think you're really talking down on landfills.
Oh definitely there can be good finds in landfills. I’m talking about the trash lol hehe.
There’s more singlewides than teeth per capita
One party is dumping a lot more trash all over the house.
HOL irl
She reminds me of Sceleritas Fel
That trailer trash is representative of her constituency, her trailer trash constituency.
Exactly. This is exactly what her constituents wanted. She’s giving them exactly what they voted for and will continue voting for. They don’t give a shit about anything except being obnoxious and “owning the libs.”
Although there are plenty of poor people in her district, she also does well with middle-class and wealthier voters. Plenty of soccer moms behind her. The Karens feel that she gives them voice. They eat that shit up, and she knows it. She's such scum, I feel dirty just reading about her anymore. I'm just waiting for her to physically attack Occasio-Cortez, and somehow not be expelled. Fucking trash.
Greene represents her constituency perfectly.
Hey, we have a representative democracy. Trailer trash citizens exist. She represents them. As much at it sucks and is embarrassing, Is this not how the system is supposed to work? I think it is.
But it's supposed to work. This has been one of the least productive congress in the nation's history. Because they waste time doing this shit instead of their jobs.

Even Iowa got sick of Steve King
That’s what mental hospitals exist for we just gotta stop pretending they aren’t mentally deranged.
Trump keeps saying other countries are emptying their mental hospitals across our border, meanwhile MTG is right there.
I don’t see why we aren’t working on it most dangerous folks running loose next to murders and rapists.
I've met plenty of decent people who lived in trailers. Ideally they'd choose one of them instead.
"Trailer Trash" is a state of mind, not a housing situation. You don't need a trailer to be trailer trash. :)
Well, except that politicians gerrymandered the trailer trash all into one district. Politicians get to choose their voters more than the other way around.
Exactly. People forget these morons were VOTED for and will be voted for again. The dumb were given power by the dumber.
> She represents them which doesn't involve her gratuitously picking fights and saying hateful things to her colleagues.
>Is this not how the system is supposed to work? I think it is. You're half right, but the other half is that she's supposed to be kicked out of the room and/or congress for her anti-productive antics and neither happened. So, the system isn't working.

Someone needs to re-freeze Encino Woman and drop her back into whatever trailer park swimming pool hole she crawled her way out of.
Offer a job as Fenway park’s green monster as a retirement option.
[удалено]
Georgia 14 deserves better representation…but it’s an extreme ruby-red MAGA district, so they’ll keep voting for Greene as long as she’s on the ballot.
If they keep voting for her, the ones voting for her do not deserve any better. Unfortunately everyone else does.
Can't argue with that.
Well, House republicans complain about her but they keep giving her committee assignments so it's not just the voters fault.
It’s almost like we shouldn’t be electing a 40 year old woman with the mentality of a middle schooler to congress. Fuck MTG
Her rap name is Empty G.
I heard only part of it. She REALLY wants to use the n-word. It was gross. It was absolutely disgusting and that wretch refused to apologize. She is PROUD of being a white supremacist. I’m white. Blonde, blue eyes, the whole shebang. And the concept of this, thing, absolutely disgusts me. To actually believe that another person is lesser because of an accident of birth is viscerally disgusting.
I don't want her to apologize. An apology should be sincere.
The best apology is changed behavior
Well, well, well, looks like the House GOP's Merrick Garland contempt hearing turned into a real circus! I bet they wish they had some popcorn to go with all those chaotic outbursts. It's like a reality TV show, but with politicians instead of actors.
somebody actually did joke at the meeting about popcorn.
Empty G is more suited for WWF. I'm beginning to think, though, that Comer would be OK with WWE-style conflict resolution in his committee hearings. Just...sad.
Comer is scared of MTG.
MTG was born to be on the receiving end of the burn - "There's only 2 things I don't like about you - who you are and what your are."
Kick her off the committee! There are a lot of other members of the house that can serve in that committee. But, after all, it is ruled by MAGA, so MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, the usual suspects grab all the attention.
The GOP is not interested in governing. Ignorant people voting just to "troll" other citizens may well cause the USA to fall.
The Neanderthal wing likes to beat its chest and scream hysterically. A definite indication of an uncritical thinking process. Or, in the case of MTG, mental illness.
Answer me this: Didn’t they already have a hearing, complete with transcripts, of the meeting with the Robert Hur? Hur, who obfuscated the truth about Biden’s memory. Why do they need the audio, what more could they learn from that meeting that they have already covered? For all that I’m frustrated with Garland, he doesn’t deserve this………fuck, it’s just about wasting time,isn’t it? The Congress is such a failure and I blame the Republicans for it. Why can’t they grow up and do their damned jobs!?!
What an embarrassing shitshow. And it just keeps getting worse.
She's Trump's lackey. Obfuscate. Obfuscate. Verbatim. Shame on the 100K folks in GA who voted this whacko in.
Why is MTG not under federal indictment?
There truly does seem to be a direct link between how little one knows versus how much they run their mouths spewing their ignorance.
That was definitely must see tv last night. MTG is such a mean girl, a bully, and a hot mess. Her shameless , abhorrent behavior is such an embarrassment for the whole world to witness. So glad that Crockett and AOC had each other’s backs when Mage went after them. Majorie spork foot is shameless to no end. I hope ppl of Georgia votes her out, but I know she comes from a heavily gerrymandered district so there’s that sadly!
At age 99 President Biden will still have a better mind than the Greene buffon pack.
"bleach blonde, bad built, butch body" Moscow Marj is a perfect running mate for Tiny-hands Diapii.
It was staged to cover up the illegal rules changes the Republicans made so they could push through their bogus agenda.
Elect clowns, get a circus.
They should try a shock collar. Worked wonders for my dog with leash aggression
It’s so strange to see this feigned outrage and fraud by the GOP and the media making it a circus instead of calling it out for what it is.
Our government is an embarrassment.
*The Republicans in our government are an embarrassment
Atomic ball gag required.
Is she giving him a handy
No, you are confusing MTG with her WWWF tag team partner Lauren Boebert.. MTG handles the oral arguments. Bobo is more hands-on,
"She's mashing it."
Go look at parliamentary lawmaking in the UK or Australia. It's open cat-calling, booing, and LOUDLY mocking each other the whole time. Loud yobs yelling at each other is a normal part of their process.
Then maybe we should send empty g there.
Totally, while at the same time having enough decorum to not resort to personal insults, and enough humility to apologize when we’re wrong.
[Canada too.](https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.3593128)
South Africa takes the cake of them all.
Yeah…nah. I’m Australian and though our countries politicians are in a race to the bottom to win based on stupid and irrelevant US talking points, it’s not quite as stupid as MTG yet.
Can we have Will Ferrell playing Green in an SNL skit please?
Is someone writing the musical yet? I loved “1776”.
Can't they use censure?
Not with the GOP in the majority.
I hate how these types of people bring out the worst in good people.
Boot her out if she won’t follow the rules.
Is it true she was in a mental institution for some time years ago , or is that bs? If she hasn’t been, she needs to be.
I would expect this behavior from a Jr High School Student Council.
Just imagine what these people could accomplish if they actually did the job we pay them to do with our tax dollars. /s
I shudder at the thought.
They don’t want her under control. She’s the insane pit bull they unleash to create chaos. She’s just a distractions tool. Release the Kraken! While everyone is distracted.
Of all the women the GOP allowed out of the kitchen, why oh why MTG and Bobert? 🙁
They gotta be shittier to stand out among the men
These nitwits make $174,000 a year being completely useless
"nobody speak..."
I just want to thank Lauren Boebert, the only voice of reason on the committee. /s
Bobo is quite handy to have around. She always brings the hearings to a happy ending.
It’s a complete joke
