Why are we bothering to continue giving her the attention? Sharing this nonsense only helps her.

She has real power. She is on committees and she is pretty much singlehandedly keeping McCarthy in the speaker’s chair. Ignore people like her at your peril, because they won’t go away, they’ll just keep getting more powerful.

If you think she’s bad now, wait until she gets into the Senate. Or gets a cabinet position in the Executive Branch.

She is talking about Trump all the time because once he is out of the news she is toast. She made no allies in the party, seen as an ineffective representative and will lose the nomination once someone more crazy wants to challenge her in a primary.

And her being replaced by a bigger whack job is somehow better?

And don’t underestimate her allegiances. Say what you will about Kevin McCarthy, but he’s still Speaker of the House. He may not have the full support of the GOP, but he had plenty of allies and clout before MTG came along. And there are plenty of Republicans from both chambers that have absolutely no problems with her policies and like the idea of her being a lightning rod keeping the negative publicity off of them in public while quietly maneuvering behind the scenes. They want her around even if it’s only in a “useful idiot” role.

MTG’s incessant attempts at impeaching Biden are an example. She is the one constantly in the press demanding Biden’s impeachment ad nauseum. She is the one that takes the brunt of the political heat for her position. And she loves every minute of it. But look how much support impeachment has behind the scenes. Not a full majority, but a growing number of GOP politicians are glad to work behind the scenes to make that a reality while letting her absorb all the consequences for it.

Republicans went from Nixon to Reagan to George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, and finally to Trump, Pence, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Bobert… It’s like they are deliberately trying to elect stupider people every year.

At this rate, by 2032 the Republican presidential nominee will be just be a brick with a Hitler mustache glued to it.

I wish instead of Ric Flair in drag with bad opinions, we had actual Ric Flair in her seat in congress.

Flair actually did consider running for governor of NC at one point, so it isn’t as unlikely as you might think.

Ventura was bad enough, man.

lets leave off the pro wrestlers. Though maybe we should try to lure MTG away from politics to a career in pro wrestlign. I bet her fans would love that.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
