    “Since elected” seems like a bit of special pleading, doesn’t it?

    You were warned.

      No, see, before she was elected she was crazier than a brickhouse rat, but when she won the seat she got sane. It's like a miraculous healing. It's like sexual healing, except instead of sexual it's electionual.

        So does being elected to Congress somehow mysteriously transform somebody who was previously a monstrous fucking harpy into somebody we should all respect?

        Because, I have to say, in my experience people normally become worse once they're elected.

        I was only joking

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                No, it isnt.

                I want you to consider some of the things said or done by Omar, AOC, Sheila Jackson Lee, Bang -a-Wang and others, who have not had any committee assignments taken away.

                Greene has not done anything since she has been sworn in, that should generate the media attention or the rise of Cancel Culture in the House. It's unfair and quite simply, un-American.

                “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                  Is that in the same lexicon as "winningest"?

                        “Jews control the world” theories don’t have a benign history.

                        Maybe they’ll be mollified if Republicans only elect people that agree to stop advancing such theories after they’re elected.

                              Yes. That was my apparently poorly stated point.

                                  Their vision for America was a cocktail of white supremacy, fascist ideology and American patriotism.

                                  It's such bullshit. Attributing such hatred to us. I don't appreciate it.

                                      But if it's any consolation things here were not much better as far as right wing nutters and anti-Semites:

                                        It's such bullshit. Attributing such hatred to us. I don't appreciate it.

                                        Really? On the other hand the US also produced John Reed and Max Eastman. Look them up, John Reed in particular - Wiki's your friend.

                                        But if it's any consolation things here were not much better as far as right wing nutters and anti-Semites:

                                        I probably don't agree with whatever ideas are being said by whatever people you are quoting. Get specific or get lost, or, better yet, get better friends.

                                        Education is extremely important.
