MTG voice: “It affects me, now I give a shit!”
She sees the end of the bullshit tunnel up ahead and wants to make an early exit.
because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE
Fucking conservatives cannot care about something until it directly affects them.
Yes, but, at least we have that? Also, with the house 50/50, having any sitting representative defect would be big.
There's still hope. We also have top brass in the militaries scoffing at Hedgweth, the midterms coming up, and even Trump possibly recognizing that Fox News is lying to him. Plus the lawsuits delaying deployment of our militaries into the cities.
There is still hope, and no one can predict the future.
No because the way conservatives work is that they’ll complain only when things happen to them, and then completely shut up about it once they realize their side doesn’t care. They’ll take having things worse over speaking out against their own party. They are a cult and are not able to think for themselves.
If cult says double premiums are a good thing, they’ll privately grumble and then take it on the chin.
This this this. Show me a conservative that a) can understand that different people are affected by different things at different times, b) that people in government need to accept (a), and c) that they aren't the main character, and I'll show you Half Life 3.
hey now don’t rip my half life 3 nugget of hope from me like that
You ever wonder if this is a plan to make her seem moderate, so that she can run in 28...
Jesus, this might be it.
MAGAts will vote for her like they do for Don. they love dumb
Republicans: when MGT is making more sense than the majority of you, you know you done fucked up.
I was going to say... what wasn't on my bingo card, is MTG acting... fucking sane, almost consistently at this point.
Healthcare, Epstein files, hell she actually did better on not giving weapons to isreal than AOC...
Was she actually that ignorant and stupid when she started, but because it was ignorance and not corruption... she can actually learn? Or maybe she actually had some kind of mental illness, and she's secretly getting it treated now that she has government level healthcare?
I know that more likely than not the shoe is going to drop... but it's like she's magically changed from Sarah Palin to John McCain.
Let’s not sane wash the space laser lady. . .
Agreed, she's batshit crazy... but I have to say crazy and stupid, is actually an improvement from the normal of morally bankrupt.
She's somehow well on her way to being one of the most reasonable republicans in congress and I never saw it coming
Don't ride the scorpion's back just because it's headed the same direction as you.
Oooh! I like this!
It does makes sense though, Greene has principals even if they are deranged. This means that as soon as the Republicans became opposed to her she basically defaulted to being against them.
Are leopards eating her face?
Her children's faces, apparently.
Hope the leopard is hungry, there are a lot of faces needing a trim.
What the fuck is up with this broken clock?!?
This broken clock has just been on fire lately... I still have to say it's not coincidence.
I think it's because she actually was stupid. Most republicans are smart opportunists, they don't believe anything they are saying, but they know what to say to rile up the crazy conspiracy theorists and get the votes, money and power to do what donors want.
MTG is one of the conspiracy theorists created by this rhetoric. she still believes in the democratic weather machines, still believes climate change is a hoax, but she's saying those things because she actually believes them, not because of a paycheck from Exxon. Which makes her very dangerous when she's given real evidence of actual conspiracies like, big insurance companies putting money to charge insane amounts of money, or an actual leader of Isreal committing a genocide, or an actual ring of elite pedophiles.
Bottom line the sellouts like Charlie Kirk and Patel etc... that can turn it on and off at will. IE "release the files now!", oh trump says he doesn't want them released, my bad "trust the government they know what they are doing".
She has no off switch... when she spouts a conspiracy nonsense it's because she believes it... which means they can't wave a bag of money or tell her "same team stop".
I think part of it is she isn't fully part of the GOP establishment. So when her opinion is different than them, she actually has the balls to vote her belief not party lines.
She's a rabid dog pointed a useful direction for once. Let her go to work, just don't turn your back on her.
It's almost as if every policy position she's ever held was based on nothing but delusion and imaginary grievances.
I think she caught whatever Fetterman had.
The affordable care act has been garbage since day one. We pay more for care than anyone else in the world. Time to completely remove profit from healthcare in the US. A bandaid to Obamacare isn't worth the time.
I disagree. You're not going to hammer out an alternative before millions of people lose coverage. Keeping it from getting worse while coming up with a replacement should be a prtiority.
Blaming a bill (that was railroaded and made worse by republican concessions) instead of corrupt people and billionaires is crazy.
Bet her mama is on it
The grunts emitted by the Neanderthal is making more sense than usual.
Please don’t insult Neanderthals like that. Evidence shows they were peaceful and comparatively intelligent.
And cared for their fellow thals.
Upside down world
kayfabe
don't be a fucking mark
Is she up for election soon? I think she's just baiting naive voters.
It's going to affect her and her adult children personally.
Did I…..did I just agree with MTG?
[runs to check the current temp in hell]
No, that's alright. You see, it's affecting her now, so now she cares. It's always the same.
The wool is slowly lifting from her eyes.
No it isn't. This is typical for the conservative mindset, they are against rights and helping others until an issue touches them or someone close to them personally, they they agree with liberals, but just on that one thing.
If she had a niece or nephew come out as trans she'd suddenly be announcing "hey maybe we don't have this banning trans people from school sports thing right" because it's no longer someone else's problem.
I mean yes, but this is still interesting because, unlike the other ghouls, Green seems to... believe in something?
Have the day you voted for.
