But trust me, it's worth the pain. She is going to bring a world of hurt to the Qpublicans.

That's the question she needs to answer, this women is advocated for political violence and she's threatening the lives of members of Congress. She needs to start answering these tough questions.

She needs to be brow beaten into recognizing that she's advocating murder and violence.

"Who are you going to murder?"
"Is it a good example that you want to use violence to achieve your political goals?"

She is a very real threat to murder someone at the Capitol.

I apparently hate myself and it's impressive that she does white grievance politics even more lustily than t did but does it in Palinesque word salads. She'll start rhyming, Palin-style, but the end of next week.

Dollars to Donuts she'll be running for the WH in 2024.


this episode reminds me of pre-2015/2016 Pissolini's constant need for media attention while whining about being mistreated. Seriously this wacko is just as a wacko of what we ended up with for all these past years.

Please let's not elevate her anymore, and let's demand the media stop giving her free campaign air time.

The difference with Trump, is that he spent almost his entire adult life cultivating his image. While many of us (most Democrats) found that image disgusting, there was a certain polish to it and a savvy for communications in the social media age.

She does not have Trump's connections and reach. She will flame out before 2024.

guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, I always thought he was a disgusting, crass asshole,

but when I see the old vids of him the 80's I can kind of see how some women might swoon and some guys would want to emanate him. No matter how shallow and thugish.

I would rephrase as "rehearsed". He is not refined or sophisticated at all. As you said, he is crude, vulgar, and disgusting. His image however, is rehearsed. Everything had been set up to put his image forward as a tough, straight talking, tycoon of industry.

Of course it is all a sham but the point I am making is that Greene is mimicking this persona but has nowhere near the people behind the scene trying to craft an image. She is either as crazy as she appears, or she is playing with fire that will burn her.

I think I'm still a bit rattled by these people. It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that she and others like her even managed to get close to holding any office, much worse seats in Congress.

In a balanced district, she would have no chance of winning. Unfortunately, right wingers have money to burn, or invest into propaganda to push their agenda. The people who fund the media don't believe the BS, but they find it useful to keep people scared and angry while their real agenda of privatization and tax cuts for the wealthy is pushed through.
