I mean, can we pay her to do it right? I know we're already doing that, but can we pretend to bribe her and yoink away the giant check right before she takes it? Like this
Ah yes, the 'Sinema Doctrine'!
... says the woman seeking a retaliatory impeachment of Biden...
And telling states to secede. It doesn’t get much more “burning it down” than that.
When you’re too crazy for the crazies…
I really hate every picture of her. It is so frustrating trying to square how weird she looks with how much power she holds.
Her eyes are too close together and her cheek bones are too big and high, which only embellishes how close together her eyes are. That's why she looks so weird.
She's a capybara in fancy clothes.
Whoa, whoa! That's extremely offensive! Capybaras are the most chill, and lliked creatures on the planet!
Capybaras don't give a fuck if you're trans.
Yeah, Janice apparently had quite the personality change after she left the Electric Mayhem

She needs to seek therapy.
there is no effective therapy for her personality.
Shock Therapy has entered the ring.
The shock of being pushed into a wood chipper therapy has entered the room also.
She needs to seek resignation
Therapy? She needs institutionalized mental healthcare. Where she is supervised 24/7.
There's no fixing that level of malignant narcissism. The people of the world need to be protected from her.

Does she think free is a synonym for Russian?
She's not a member of the Burn It All Down Caucus. Now she's a Burn It All Down free agent. Much better, right?
She's an equal opportunity burn it downer now. Hate for hire, if you will.
...because they kicked me out. Seriously, who thinks she wouldn't still be a member otherwise...?
Exactly. She's being rejected because she's MTG.
What "job" would that be, Marge? Pretend you're on The Jerry Springer Show? Do and say the most offensive, repulsive, and provocative things you can think of for attention?
Is there a single more stupid bitch?
Genuinely, I want to know, because I don’t think there is
Maybe tied with Boebert?
I genuinely did not realize this wasn't boebert.. Apparently it's easy to conflate the amount of stupid going on...
Right, this is the one who got into an argument with Boebert about which of them got to file impeachment charges. And, somehow, both of them got reelected after their first term where they were... them.
Well. yes. Yes it is. I have to constantly ask myself "which one is this again".... and then I find myself asking, why do I even care. They're both idiots. they're both annoying, and they're both both a symptom and a cause...
Can we criticize even shitty people without resorting to sexist remarks please? Lemmy feels like it should be above that kinda language. Call her a turd or whatever 💩
It’s always disappointing to see people who think themselves reasonable delighting in the usage of slurs when given the opportunity to tear down someone they perceive as disliked by their community. It is much more damning to them than the object of their ire.
Greene is a symptom of the cancer metastasized on our civilization, but deploying gendered slurs against her is counterproductive and pitiful.
It's the attacks on appearance for me.
Pointless ones. She looks like a normal person. That she's got an infection of fascist brain worms is something you can call out directly.
I don't know... she looks like she has crazy eyes to me. I don't think that's sexist. I can think of plenty of crazy men with the similar look in their eyes.

Trump.
She knows exactly what she's doing. She's telling the stupid and hateful exactly what they want to hear, and she's getting all that fantastic attention she craves.

She’s part of the “I’m tryna not get arrested for the next step of craziness” crowd publicly but still part of it privately.
They’re realizing they don’t actually have backing and are hiding again.
Are they doing a human centipede and eating each other alive, asshole first?
That would be an oroboros.
Burn it all up then?
A free agent of Russia she means
From terrorist to RINO
Nah, don't be fooled. Still a terrorist.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Members of the caucus voted to boot Greene from their ranks over the summer after the Georgia Republican supported the debt limit bill that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and President Biden crafted to avoid a default, which drew ire from many in the right flank — some of whom are members of the caucus.
Greene called Boebert a “little b—-” after the Colorado Republican unexpectedly forced a vote on her articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Greene criticized Boebert for not explaining her decision to the House GOP conference, and she said her Colorado colleague copied her articles of impeachment targeting Mayorkas.
The Georgia Republican came to Congress in 2021 as a rabble rouser, quickly becoming a conservative thorn in the side of GOP leadership.
Greene on Thursday suggested in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that she would not support the spending bill because it includes funding for Ukraine, which she opposes.
In July, after news broke of Greene’s ouster from the Freedom Caucus, the congresswoman called the group “the drama club.”
The original article contains 489 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Is this her redemption arc? Probably not.
