    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.

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

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

          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.

            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.

                  “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.

                  Only non-witches get due process.

                        Yes. That was my apparently poorly stated point.

                                  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.

                                      If it wasn't obvious till now, I really value you.

                                      Education is extremely important.

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

                                          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.

                                          Sure she has. She has publicly sworn allegiance to all that isTrump. She believes every word out of his mouth. She is not the standard republican congress critter who is simply afraid of Trump and the votes he would lose if he ever spoke against him. She is a true koolaid drinking nut job that shouldn’t be allowed any job higher than taking your order at McDonald’s.
