So I have been waiting for someone to put this up and no one did so I had to!
I've been watching some of her old social media posts and I can tell you personally the Dems are making a huge mistake here. MTG is by far the most entertaining political personality in years. She's almost in Palin's league. She's absolutely hilarious and the Dems are doing a serious disservice to the entertainment of the American public.
She's bat *** crazy!! Around the bend, crackers, nuts, and I honestly believed if the Dems hadn't done this, she would have single handedly brought down the republicans.

She is the right's version of AOC.
What is a shame is that she has past experience as a successful businesswoman and her viewpoints could be valuable in shaping policy.
2 hours ago, Beerman said:And that is the problem of republicans! You think people like her are successful because she's made some money. Your measuring stick for success! El Chapo has money, why don't you guys pick him? So to does successful bank robbers.
AOC is a caring, educated, considerate individual and MTG is a selfish, inconsiderate, unthinking idiot in a party with many people of similar attributes!
Which party appears to have the same goals as each other and which party appears to be fragmenting?
3 hours ago, Beerman said:Yes, they did make a mistake. McCarthy was getting pressure to both keep and get rid of her. They let him off the hook, and now there will be a smaller spotlight on her.
I don't like the precedent this set. Although, It will be fun to watch this come back around on the Dems, likely in just two years.

I've never heard of AOC making claims of Jewish space lasers starting forest fires and other assorted far out delusions, I'd say she's more comparable to Jim Jordan; a not-so-bright populist.
I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call her a "successful businesswoman", she was given an already established construction / remodeling contractor business by her dad, which she then stepped down from to focus on Crossfit, which is basically the exercise version of QAnon.

So, you're saying one is crazier then the other. MJT certainly shows some crazy statements. AOC has shown us at times she is crazy or unintelligent...take your pick.
The both do have some coherent thoughts and ideas that a good portion of their side of the aisle agrees with.
However MJT acquired the business, she ran it for quite sometime. That is more then most members of Congress have done. She certainly has more experience in that and life as a ordinary citizen then most, especially AOC.

*that's an amazing assessment AOC not intelligent? You must have some serious bias going on there or some defect. MTG is both crazy and unintelligent based on her beliefs, her statement today and unless she has the same deficits as Trump she's going to flame out like everyone else, just like Trump! Senate, congress and the presidency! Man he's some winner!

Gosh...we have direct and specific examples of Greene saying completely crazy and unacceptable things. Surely you must have some equally crazy and unacceptable examples from AOC.
Let's do some honest head to head comparison.
Here's an example of MTGs public commentary; "Marjorie Taylor Greene: (12:22)
You know what the media does? And you guys are great at it, and I’m telling you this because I want to like you, but you’re doing a really good job at addicting our nation to hate, teaching people to hate people like me, President Trump. And then on the right, it’s the same way teaching people to hate AOC, Ilhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi. See, it goes both ways, doesn’t it? But teaching people to hate and addicting them to it is killing our country. It’s causing people to no longer be friends, families to no longer talk to each other. Even husband and wives getting divorced, parents not talking to their children and the other way around. I think that’s terrible, and it’s shameful."

You have to give props to MTG and her kind though. She's got the audience and they love to be gaslit, so gaslight their butts!
I'm jealous! If I had it in me to be so disingenuous, man I would be out there smoking their butts for the money!
I say if you are gullible and you choose to remain gullible, then sock it to them. Bleed them dry! Evolution baby! Natural selection!
The problem is 89 senators are just that gullible!

Dude can we go in business together? You know your people. I mean can't we sell them some diluted bleach or how about bulbs that mimic sunshine or, I know, I can get a hold of an endoscope, we can always tell them we are introducing the sunshine internally, ☀️☀️?????. We could do it as an enema and say it's the Jewish laser?? that was used for the California wildfires. They like power, your people. We would make a killing ???

I think there's no question that the GOP voting base is a smorgasbord of opportunity for the grifting class. We'll likely never know how much money the Trump's scammed from those poor fools...and then there's all of the copy cats...like MTG.

I guess you're not really interested in what I would say. You're just happy to have the opportunity to rationalize what you want to believe about those on the other side.
Have a nice day.
Just for you to show you what courage is!

If someone is interested in explaining how those members of congress are the same I would be interested in reading their thoughts.
