"SNIP........

Washington Post: “The midterms have left Greene in unfamiliar territory. House Republicans are back in power for the first time since she arrived in Washington, but just barely. Many Republicans have blamed her wing of the party — the election-denying, unabashed Trumpists — for dragging down what they had expected to be huge gains for the GOP. And yet the narrowness of the new Republican majority means that McCarthy can’t afford to alienate too many members if he wants to win the gavel when Congress convenes Jan. 3.”

“That has created an opening for Greene, who spent her first term on Washington’s fringe, to attach herself to McCarthy and make her play for more influence, even as prominent Republicans are trying to nudge the party away from her political North Star, former president Donald Trump.”

1. That this loudmouthed, ignorant legislative newcomer has any power at all...

...is mind-bogglingly disgusting.

[Deuxcents]

2. I agree

[bronxiteforever]

5. Political opportunity, political danger.

Will be interesting to see how she plays this.

6. Unfortunately, MTG has Kevin by the gonads....

If she does not get the power and voice she says has been denied her, she will squeeze Kevin McCarthy harder as time goes by. It will become even more uncomfortable for the Republican House leadership to muzzle her.

Get the popcorn ready folks. It's going to be an interesting first few months of 2023.

[Lucinda]

7. When she thought both houses were going to sweep - she was

talking smack about everyone - and now she is trying to backtrack...she has no common sense

15. Okay. I won't alert. Who is Dick Shawn?

[Doc_Technical]

16. He is the actor doing his unique interpretation of Hitler

n/t

[applegrove]

17. He's brilliant!

[FakeNoose]

14. At first I thought that actress was Madeline Kahn

Very funny!

[Kid Berwyn]
