Why are we bothering to continue giving her the attention? Sharing this nonsense only helps her.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
She has real power. She is on committees and she is pretty much singlehandedly keeping McCarthy in the speaker's chair. Ignore people like her at your peril, because they won't go away, they'll just keep getting more powerful.
If you think she's bad now, wait until she gets into the Senate. Or gets a cabinet position in the Executive Branch.
She is talking about Trump all the time because once he is out of the news she is toast. She made no allies in the party, seen as an ineffective representative and will lose the nomination once someone more crazy wants to challenge her in a primary.
And her being replaced by a bigger whack job is somehow better?
And don't underestimate her allegiances. Say what you will about Kevin McCarthy, but he's still Speaker of the House. He may not have the full support of the GOP, but he had plenty of allies and clout before MTG came along. And there are plenty of Republicans from both chambers that have absolutely no problems with her policies and like the idea of her being a lightning rod keeping the negative publicity off of them in public while quietly maneuvering behind the scenes. They want her around even if it's only in a "useful idiot" role.
MTG's incessant attempts at impeaching Biden are an example. She is the one constantly in the press demanding Biden's impeachment ad nauseum. She is the one that takes the brunt of the political heat for her position. And she loves every minute of it. But look how much support impeachment has behind the scenes. Not a full majority, but a growing number of GOP politicians are glad to work behind the scenes to make that a reality while letting her absorb all the consequences for it.

every time I see MTG I have a moment of "what the literal fuck does a card game have to do with this?"
tfw you just realize that almost every GOP person would play Black/White Tax deck

Republicans went from Nixon to Reagan to George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, and finally to Trump, Pence, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Bobert... It's like they are deliberately trying to elect stupider people every year.
At this rate, by 2032 the Republican presidential nominee will be just be a brick with a Hitler mustache glued to it.
You leave Brickler out of this!
At least the brick would be better qualified than the Cheeto with a bad toupee.

I wish instead of Ric Flair in drag with bad opinions, we had actual Ric Flair in her seat in congress.
Flair actually did consider running for governor of NC at one point, so it isn't as unlikely as you might think.
as someone that lives with Glenn Jacobs (Kane in the wwe) as mayor I will second leaving pro wrestlers out of politics please.
But Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, Five-time Ultimate Smackdown Champion was a great President!
Ventura was bad enough, man.
lets leave off the pro wrestlers. Though maybe we should try to lure MTG away from politics to a career in pro wrestlign. I bet her fans would love that.

If the press had any balls, they would demand she define communism. They aren't demanding that and they aren't demanding any of these assholes define what woke means either.
TBF, it was Fox News. They don't have journalists.
Please please please stop giving this dipshit attention. Thats all she really wants. Shes pissed trump is getting all of the attention right now so she continues to say stupid and outlandish shit with no understanding of its meaning, solely because it gets her in articles like this. This dumb bitch needs to fuck off already.
US right wing thought process:
Anything they disagree with = Communism (the USA calling "commie" sounds straight from the lips of General Jack D Ripper to outsiders.)
Anything they agree with = Democracy
Actually right now even democracy is considered a dirty word, they even say that US isn't democracy, but a republic (ignoring what republic is).
They already started conditioning their minions, that dictatorship isn't really all that bad.
The ironic thing is that the primary reason why communism is bad is that it normally comes together with totalitarism, and that's what they essentially arguing for.

Haven’t they been wanting to impeach biden since before he even took office lol. They love saying that
Her entire political career is based on saying loud dumb shit, no policy, no progress just REEEEE. She'd disappear tomorrow if everyone decided to stop paying attention to her
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the goal. While everyone's listening to her deranged rambling, the other scumbags are probably scheming in the shadows.
Ignoring her would definitely be the best thing.
If prosecuting Trump is "communism" then sign me up for communism.
Sign me up either way. I’ll gladly take democratic ownership of corporations over our current stage of managerial feudalism anyday.
Communism definitely has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, but the Republican Party just label everything they don't like "communism" and "socialism." Sometimes they even throw a "radical" in there. Words have lost all meaning.

So if we impeach trump we get the means of production?
I’m pretty sure she breathes through her asshole.
you can see when she does. it’s on her face.
The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertible, there's no need for
The jury to retire
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
your peers—
TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

I would need a lobotomy to understand that.
MTG is a complete moron so, not surprised
Must stop covering this person.
Its reactionary bullshit. Republicans have just become the "anti-democrats"
correction they are anti-democratic and pro facists
She’s a waste of carbon.
Everyone here knows she's well aware it doesn't mean anything, right? To the fascists it's just a buzzword they use to rile up their base.
For MTG and conservatives in general, woke or communism just means "(the acts of) people we don't like"
