In a new book, the extremist Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claims no Democrats stayed in the House chamber on January 6 to help defend it against rioters sent by Donald Trump to block the certification of Joe Biden’s election win – a claim one Democrat who did stay labeled “patently false”.

    Why didn't Greene walk out there to ask those people to leave? After all, if they were just patriotic Republican tourists, then they would have listened to her, right?

    Oh, what's that? They were violent insurrectionists and she was hiding from them too? But she somehow thinks that the Democrats should have yelled "Democratic Avengers Assemble" and charged out there? (And now I'm picturing Bernie wielding Thor's hammer.)

      No, you see they were being evacuated to get away from FBI plants that were leading the assault, not the patriotic protestors who were entrapped when they were lured into the building. The dems obviously knew they weren't in any real danger, but their natural cowardice forced them to panic, put on masks, and retreat. It's only thanks to heroic, gun toting warriors of the Republican caucus that the weaponized justice department wasn't able to completely take over.

      And then afterwards Greene met with Trump, and asked him if that spray tan goes all the way down. And he was like, "oh Marjorie, you're so hot, and white and American, and your forehead is just the right size." And then he hulk flexed and his rippling orange muscles ripped through his clothes as easily as Venezuelans rip through electronic voting records. She walked over looked into his eyes as he placed his hands on her quivering shoulders, and gently pushed her to her knees wear a woman belongs.


      OK, that's enough ghost written self insert fan fiction. I'm gonna take a shower and try not to vomit.

      If I yell “Democratic Avengers Assemble,” can we eliminate my student debt and prosecute all these CEOs for price fixing?

        WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR, POOR CEOs? Also someone needs to punish those selfish students who think that they have a right to their money instead of whichever monopolist picked them as victims!

          I resemble this remark! It was wrong of me to go back to school, and I should be punished.

      It’s actually a campaign finance scam. She'll have campaign contributions pay for an insane amount of books that she'll throw at people or stack in a warehouse while she reaps the profits.

      They might buy the book if they recognize her on the book cover. As a souvenir.

    So are we just stuck with an ever revolving door of lies, pulling up previous contradictory statements, on repeat? What the fuck is this bullshit? Please tell me somebody called her out in person on her previous statements of them being tourists. This shit is the whole fucking circus, and my bread is fucken dry and moldy somehow.

      I think it can only end in one way: when people get tired enough of the violence that will be used to try to stop it that they are willing to hear each other again.

      Or if that violence wipes out one or both sides.

    Marjorie, just to remind you: They were your people. You can bet your ass that each of them voted for Trump and your party of assholes, and eventually for your wasted seat in that house, too.
