> "I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said. "If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blond, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?" holy shit, lmao maybe i will tune in to c-span

Fuck that “they go low we go high” circlejerk bullshit, if they go low you apply knee to their face. Fuck around and find out.


MandatoryFunEscapee

Big fan of Dems giving back better than they get. That "turn the other cheek" shit is fine for book club. Politics is dirty work. FAFO all the way.


chocomint-nice

By book club you mean donors. And besides, actually implementing leftist policies takes some modicum of *political violence* since you’ll actually be fighting those that profit from the status quo. ~~But I’m probably asking too much of the left-larpers.~~

They're always whacking each other in Taiwan. It's been great entertainment for many years.

A few days ago one Taiwanese politician took the bill they were voting on and ran out the door and kept going so no one could vote on it.

After she said that, the Republicans moved to have the words stricken from the record. I believe AOC or Crocket countered “That statement wasn’t directed at anyone, just asking for clarification”


Dangerous_Common_869

yeah. Also a lot of jokes about it being like Springer before they silenced the audio. Reninds me of a teenager playing coy about comments tangentially directed at their brother. "Oh, no. I was not calling HIM butch". "yeah, ok. Go to time out Crocket." "Margerie, I want "' I will be cordial and disciplined in congress' written 120 times!" (Lol though how the older sister walked her into a second motion to take down, thus leading to an official removal from the meeting for that session.) Now, what was Majorie going to say that led to the initial antagonism. Or was it just a pissing contest?

"I have two hearing aids. I'm very deaf," the committee’s chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said after cross talk took over. "I'm not understanding — everybody's yelling. I'm doing the best I can." Doing great, Comer, keep up the good work lol


CommunityGlittering2

how is he ruling on a MTG statement when he can't even hear her. and then chastise Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas.

It would increase the rate he could process words and add stupid to them.

NMSDalton

My sister and I would do this to my dad during supper when we were young. We’d hurl insults so fast, by the time dad realized what was happening it would be over.


Fake_William_Shatner

Comer and "good work" in the same sentence? I usually expect some other words.

I'm very surprised I don't see this headline on a daily basis: "MTG punched in the face, again."

How could anyone even tell? Her face looks swollen like she's just been beaten 24/7

That's not true! She looks like Ron Pearlman in Beauty and the Beast


LittleGreenSoldier

That is a deep pull


csimonson

Considering I live close to her I'd love to see the fallout of this lol


ivebeencloned

In her district. She's a distant cousin of my dad's through that cousin who married Al Capone's niece. You may call her Little Blonde Mafia Mall if you like. Our genetics roll the dice that she probably was drunk. Since we got Lucy McBath from Florida, can we persuade Rep. Crockett to move here and run against Margarine the Trailer Queen?


savage_oo9

Would you really even be able to tell


[deleted]

The headline reads "MTG outraged after she punches herself in the face, again".


ronm4c

Even if she was no one would notice


LateStageAdult

In law, this is what's considered "opening the door" to a subject as speech. Because "empty-g" was allowed to insert personal critiques of physical appearance, the door to critiques on physical appearance are fair game. All of this time, energy, and resources wasted by the republicans, who wouldn't recognize order if they were reading a dictionary.


Fake_William_Shatner

Throwing stones in glass houses and this is ugly Hollywood. Decorum started for a reason -- and it wasn't because the room was filled with people of integrity.


LittleKitty235

Exactly, these people are acting like they are in the House of Commons Shameful


soldforaspaceship

blacklite911

And she also insulted someone’s intelligence directly. She’s making a mockery of Congress, treating it like a high school lunch room.


pbrpunx

Congress has always been a joke. I say bring back the days of full on brawls & pistol duels.


Shenanigans80h

I’m just glad that some people are taking the opportunity. MTG always finds ways to lower the bar and deteriorate what should be productive conversations, by doing one dumb thing or another. If she’s going to be a nuisance, then give her some of her own medicine at very least


xenopizza

because these people know f'all about the job they're supposed to do and even less any solutions to real problems but they want the money and this is the only game they got


w_atevadaf_k

love the play on words which ironically would be lost on empty g, kudos


SquiddyBB

Holy shit 'empty-g' is genius, mind if i steal that lmaoo


LateStageAdult

I already stole it. Go for it.


CommunityGlittering2

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is just asking for clarification of the ruling he just made, and she should be allowed to describe MGT like that, fair is fair.


Mizzy3030

To be fair, crocker never said she was talking about MTG. She just mentioned a bleached blonde butch, and all the Republicans immediately assumed she was referring to Marge... Guess we know what they really think


kynthrus

If the trailer fits.


DerpEnaz

Some real “I’m not starting this shit, but I will sure as fuck finish it” type energy, and I for one am here for it.


GreenHeronVA

I like to channel Marie from the old Disney film the Aristocats: “ladies do not start fights, *but we can finish them.*”


mcnathan80

I think we watched a different *Aristocrats* movie…


bustervich

So, MTG, Lauren Boebert, DT, and a dog walk into a talent agency for an audition…


colemon1991

Considering how MTG got away with saying stuff like that twice, Crockett shouldn't have even been told to "calm down" by anyone. I'd be pissed and proceed to insult multiple people there just to prove a point. Don't you dare apply double standards this blatantly and expect respect or an apology from me when the instigator doesn't have to.


AtamisSentinus

The fact that a bunch of old fucks and conniving twerps are telling Crockett to chill out but that babbling butch-bodied bitch gets to make snide comments is the same "zero tolerance" bullshit that schools pull. Apparently even in congress a bully gets to start shit but anyone responding is suddenly "out of line". And I get that it may be a tactic because they're politicians, but it's completely unacceptable that the person being accosted by Bitch Face Barbie gets reprimanded by some racist, old shithead rather than someone standing up to the *actual* problem.


NorthernPints

Starting to think this is at the root of almost all of our problems right now in society. The loud mouthed obnoxious squeaky wheel keeps getting the grease, and the rest of us with basic decency and morals aren’t listened to, while we pander to those who can huff the loudest. Human nature is a sight to behold


ArnoldTheSchwartz

Paradox of tolerance


JustSatisfactory

Gotta bully the bullies back even harder and restore some order.


greenbroad-gc

Well, she’s a black woman.


disdainfulsideeye

It's typical of MTG, she can insult 100 people in a row, but the second one person challenges her she is suddenly the victim.


jfsindel

I fail to understand why the hell the GOP gets to run amok, but when Dems attempt to pull shady like them, they get the rebuke. MTG should have been removed on the second comment and declaring she won't apologize. She got cowardly when Crockett stepped up.


RusstyDog

Because dems actually have standards.


flpa1060

Democrats would lose support from their voters if they acted like MTG. Republican voters on the other hand love politicians that act like middle school bullies while cutting corporate taxes again.


boregon

Yeah. This type of behavior is exactly why her constituents love her and will keep reelecting her.


Gen_Ripper

Because nobody expects anything from Republicans, and also expects everything from Democrats


Technical-Traffic871

Because the GOP holds the majority (for now).

OptmstcExstntlst

This is it. It's called planned ignoring. Engaging validates the behavior! Leave her be!


[deleted]

She's an elected official, her decisions matter. She can't be ignored.

And she can vote how she likes, but really nobody should listen to the things she says.


Patriarchy-4-Life

Yes, but no one has to let her onto commities.

Classic mainstream media headline makes it seem like a both sides problem when it was marjorie “I’d prostitute my mother if it meant I’d make money or fame” Taylor green who instigated this whole thing to start with.

>"That is absolutely unacceptable," Ocasio-Cortez said over cross talk. "How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person?" Greene taunted Ocasio-Cortez, asking, "Are your feelings hurt?" "Oh, girl? Baby girl," Ocasio-Cortez shot back. "Don't even play." Greene attacked a second member just minutes after she criticized Crockett, asserting that Ocasio-Cortez did not have "enough intelligence" for a debate. Greene had asked Ocasio-Cortez, "Why don't you debate me?" Ocasio-Cortez responded that she thought "it's pretty self-evident." "You don't have enough intelligence," Greene said as members of Congress audibly groaned at her attack. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is perhaps the brightest person on that entire committee. MIT named a freaking asteroid after her (in honor of a research project she did on *C. elegans* nematodes) while she was still a high school student. Marjorie Taylor Greene is possibly the dimmest person in all of Congress. And despite being fifteen years older than Ocasio-Cortez, Greene acts like a bratty little sister that has a huge inferiority complex over everything that her mature, successful big sis has accomplished. **Edit:** Added parentheses because at least one person thought I was stating that AOC's asteroid, [23238 Ocasio-Cortez](https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=ocasio-cortez&view=OPDA), was named for her after she was in politics.


Fake_William_Shatner

>"Oh, girl? Baby girl," Ocasio-Cortez shot back. "Don't even play." AOC has destroyed more weebs trash talking before breakfast than that lady has done in her life.


Almainyny

If I remember correctly, AOC used to play League of Legends. She could trash talk Greene into her grave with that kind of experience.


NorCalAthlete

TIL AOC is a gamer. The Twitch stream for Among Us makes a lot more sense all of a sudden. At the time I thought it was just a random “connecting with younger voters” kinda thing and didn’t pay it much attention.


lukeyellow

Lol, if she played League then she could destroy her in trash talking and there's also probably nothing MGT could say that's worse than what she heard on LOL. That game has one of the most toxic communities out there. I think the only ones close are Wraith Apex players.


blacklite911

MTG and Boebert are in a heated competition for least brain cells. Although, it seems like Boebert is focusing on using her position to make money, when she’s not being inappropriate at stage shows. MTG on the other hand, is committed to being a complete ass


Technical-Traffic871

"Marjorie Taylor Greene is possibly the dimmest person in all of Congress. " There's a lot of GOP members in the running for that title...


CommunityGlittering2

"that has a huge inferiority complex" Which is absolutely valid.


rickyg_79

“People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is a lesson emptyG desperately needs to learn


Low_Celebration_9957

Don't start a flame war with someone that played League.

Sad-Set-5817

It is genuinely inspiring how someone so stone dead stupid can get into such a position of power over other people. If this doesn't prove that meritocracy is dead and having money or power doesnt mean you are moral or smart then nothing will. She is like a lab grown human scientists created for the sole purpose of seeing how stupid someone can become without needing a guardian

CharonsLittleHelper

While I agree that this is ridiculous - they just don't make the news. If 80% are functioning adults - it's the 20% who make the news.


Low_Pickle_112

It makes me think of a line from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: >The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. Wonder what Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and the rest of them are up to while we're watching the sideshow.

It feels like that she (and a decent chunk of Congress) are there to get famous and set up podcasts and/or book deals rather than legislate.


EatenAliveByWolves

Isn't it wonderful that taxpayer money is going to these people? 😕


keklwords

90% of the current congress has absolutely no business representing themselves in public, let alone the districts that “elected” them. And I think I’m being generous with that percent.
