"Eliminate all COVID vaccines"

Does that include ones that are already in arms? Cuz I'll gladly volunteer to be the first one eliminated.

[MasterJedi]

Here we see the 2028 GOP front runner.

[Person Man]

It is a miracle that nothing THAT bad has happened to us with people like this in charge. We basically survive on Grace at this point.

Again MTG expressed support for defunding the police. Dems should use this message in 2024 up and down the ballot and in all their spots.

Dems can't be pro-cop without alienating the HasanAbi wing.

They always talk big about “waging war on the administrative state,” but their incompetence and irresponsibility ensures that Congress will just keep ceding power to the bureaucracy. When idiots like this are in charge of the legislature (and spend all their time Tweeting), someone has to run the country in the meantime.

It’s definitely true that we’ve ceded our democratic decisionmaking to unelected bureaucrats, but that’s more the fault of Congress’ own laziness, not administrative empire-building.

Trump deserves credit for Operation Warp Speed. But of course he and others can’t say that out loud without getting booed by the base.

[Inmate Trump]

She represents the entire GOP.

"Eliminate all COVID vaccines"

Yeah, what the hell?

"Eliminate all COVID vaccine and mandates"

So congress should make moves to destroy all the vaccines, and then make possession or sale of a COVID vaccine illegal? Basically, schedule COVID vaccines as drugs along with heroine, meth, cocaine?

She continues to impress me with just how insane she is.

[emailking]

Are there any federal COVID vaccine mandates left? I don't think there are.

[ProudModerate2]

What a Moron.
And what exactly does "Defund Biden’s weaponization of government"?
Defund the entire Justice Dept, including all US Attorneys and staff, FBI, etc ?
What kind of nation would we be without them.

[President Johnson]

Covid vaccine? Did your hear this, Agent Orange? She wants to take away your vaccine. Sad!

[Progressive Pessimist]

Covid vaccine? Did your hear this, Agent Orange? She wants to take away your vaccine. Sad!

Yeah! They were his vaccines! Not Biden's or Fauci's!

Its just political theater. Only a handful of reps actually believe the nonsense they spew. 95% or more of them know its just crap they have to say to get elected in their district.

[Pericles]

Biden should agree to the first condition only, watch the vote fail and then laugh in her face.

[Ferguson97]

If she really has to say this to get elected, then that is a scathing indictment on the moral character of her constituents.

With a lot of these people (Matt Gaetz being a great example), yes. But I think there is genuinely something very wrong with MTG.

And are you not concerned that YOUR people want this, desire this, and vote for people that "genuinely have something very wrong" with them?
I mean, what does this tell you about Republican voters that continue to send these lunatic, bigots back to office every two years.

[Arizona Iced Tea]

Bit off topic but at least she is engaging with her constituents and participating in town halls. Most representatives (on both sides) don't do that at all which is dissapointing. My congressman holds them via phone calls which are better than nothing I guess, but being there in person and engaging with your voters and people in the district is at the core of representative democracy.

Don't minimize her extremism through such misplaced analysis. Her predecessor in the house, Tom graves, was a fairly standard right winger who even got a B from NORML. The only way MTG is ever going to lose a race is if her shenanigans and constant media whoring get so bad that a single Republican who is conservative but not Bonafide crazy can unite the vote anti-MTG vote behind them.

Actions like this are not improving her standing in that regard. She just can't help herself, bluntly put.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Guess what the Defense Authorization bill is 800B and what Student loan Forgiveness was 400B there you have it they are trying to slow the growth of entitlements and we are funding the War in Ukraine like we always do, Trump all he is gonna do is pass welfare to work and Crts are gonna strike it down in blue states and Fund the War in Ukraine while 65M still live poverty like he did his last 4 yrs but he gave out stimulus checks but they aren't giving those out anymore but only in form of enhanced child tax credits on tax return

IL and CA don't have work requirements for non welfare childcare if you don't have kids and ages 45/62 and on SSDI you aren't required to work, and we are the two states that want reparations

Blue Avatars like AZ tea dont want to talk about it's all over the world Assad is funding his own military and 90% of Shia Muslims are impoverish

Biden wants to pass a Warren Wealth tax to give reparations like they give Native American but it doesn't have to be 5M it can be 30K like Indians

I still not paying my student loans the rich are still paying for it but it's not a blanket discharge my sister got a blanket discharge she isn't in school I am

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Blue avatars thinks that with the end of COVID we got rich the whole world have not gotten richer Muslims Latinos and blks and some Asians all over the world and 1/3rd in each group in America are impoverished and Trump, Oprah and Bloomberg and athletes and entertainment got 90% of the wealth and Dictators

This is not 1980/190 pre Great Recession where wealth was more spread out it's the 2020s

Marriage is a privilege and it takes real money to even get married who. Wants a poor spouse these days no one but whites they save up for their kids weddings and college in a trust fund my mom could of don't that but she didn't inherit 500 or 800K like whites do she only inherited 150K


Reagan, Green thinks everyone is rich but a Uber driver said he inherited 800K from his mom in law for Ontario CA if blks or Latinos live in CA they bunk up they don't inherit that type of money, like 3 families living in one H instead of 1

If you are a minority it's no way you can live by yourself they bunk up but whites don't bunk up


There are no more stimulus checks but enhanced child tax credits in your Taxes
