    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.

    Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

      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

              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!”

                      “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.

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

                                      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.
