'I Request an Advil': House Democrat Asks For Pain Meds After Marjorie Taylor Greene's Floor Speech

[Ohio Joe]

--snip--

“The American people don’t work hard every single day to pay for other countries’ borders to be defended,” Greene said on the floor. “They want our border defended. And we have 300 Americans dying every single day from fentanyl poisoning that’s coming from China and the Mexican cartels. If our Department of Defense wants to defend America, we should be defending our border and not proclaiming our righteousness talking about a war in Ukraine. With that, Mr. Speaker, I yield.”

The chair then recognized Kamlager-Dove.

“The gentlewoman’s time is expired,” he noted. “The gentlewoman from California is recognized.”

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker,” she said. “I request an Advil and yield one minute to Rep. Joe Wilson from South Carolina.”

That is how Greene should be smacked down every time she says something stupid... Too funny

[dchill]

1. I think MTG is taking too many steroids.

[Greybnk48]

8. I say that all the time at home! And I'm not joking! n/t

[efhmc]

23. Me too.

[dchill]

24. I'm NOT joking! That is my observation; my opinion.

She's looking like a 90s baseball player!

[ShazzieB]

10. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

Roid rage would help explain her nasty disposition.

[lastlib]

22. I think she has graduated to hallucinogens.

It's the most compelling reason I can come up with to explain the bizarro-wonderland world she seems to see. I wish her handlers would check her diet for any mushrooms that are past their expiration date.

[Blue Owl]

29. That would explain the hulkish hideousness

[truthisfreedom]

2. Three Advil. Great advertising!

[JanLip]

4. Is Advil

Good for a pain in the a**? The pain being MTG

Jan

[ret5hd]

11. "I request an Advil enema."

[JanLip]

14. Yes

A better treatment for that pain.

Jan

[louslobbs]

26. lol

👍🏻

[louslobbs]

25. No, you'd need a morphine infusion

for that….lol

[Ligyron]

43. Now you're speaking my language.

[sheshe2]

33. You are so polite.

I would have just said pain in the ass.

[AllaN01Bear]

3. this.

[brush]

6. She's like a dog with a bone on our Ukraine policy.

She apparently has no idea of the US's long time position as the lead nation in NATO and the UN against the fascist and totalitarian nations of the world...Russia/the Soviet Union...with histories of invading other countries.

It's apparent she learned nothing of this in school or her brief time in office. It's also apparent she's a moron who has no business serving in Congress.

[The Jungle 1]

44. She supports fascism and wants russia to win the war in Ukraine.

It is looking like the right has no understanding of what freedom means.

[brush]

45. Agreed. No knowledge of Stalin/USSR's history. Or she...

chooses to ignore it. I don't get it at all...rooting for Russian against US and NATO policy.

[AllaN01Bear]

7. oops , i posted in the wrong thread. mouth engaged before brain

i need a speed bump between my mouth and brain.

[Caliman73]

9. She is so stupid.

Major difference in your scenarios idiot... Ukraine's border was deliberately breached by Russia in an act of premeditated, unprovoked, illegal aggression.

Our border is being breached primarily, with regards to Fentanyl, by (drum roll) AMERICAN CITIZENS who are bringing the drug through legal ports of entry in order to sell the drug to people who are DEMANDING it. Sure, Fentanyl is being produced in China and India. Sure it is being trafficked by Mexican Cartels, but UNLIKE what is happening in Ukraine, the driver of the activity is DEMAND from OUR country. Russia is not responding to any demand from Ukrainians to have their country invaded and destroyed. If Americans tomorrow, decided that they no longer wanted Fentanyl and it was no longer lucrative, activity in its trafficking would CEASE. Just like if Agricultural companies, Meat Packing, Construction, etc... companies stopped trying to exploit cheap labor and US companies stopped trying to exploit labor in Mexico, Central and South America, undocumented immigration would take a nosedive.

Greene is too stupid (and she is counting that her constituents are too stupid) which is a good bet, to understand the differences. Anyone who voted for Greene, likely is too stupid to understand the above.

[Initech]

12. I'd need something a lot stronger than Advil after listening to her bullshit.

[calimary]

13. No kidding!

[Initech]

16. I think a few shots of Jack would do it!

[soldierant]

47. Would that be

Jack Daniels? Or Jack Smith?

Or mabe both..

[Initech]

48. Jack Daniels obviously!

Then Jack Smith can finish the job!

[central scrutinizer]

36. Ivermectin?

Should cleanse the bowel

[Ohio Joe]

38. Heh

[wnylib]

41. She could have requested

an air purifier to clear the air.

Or a clean up crew with a chamber pot.

[TomDaisy]

15. I'm old enough to remember when GOP said "fight them over there so we don't have to

fight them over here"

[Marcuse]

37. And I'm old enough to remember when the GOP said, "Just say no" (or go to jail).

[TomDaisy]

39. omg blast from the past

[C Moon]

17. Wow. She is such a putin puppet.

[CurtEastPoint]

18. where on f'ing earth did they ALL get that '300 Amurkinz dyin of finntuhnill ever day?"

[Whattaguy]

27. 106,000/365

Equals a little less than 300/day average overdose deaths in USA.

Fentanyl is “only” approx 2/3 of that number , or 70K (190/day)

So it’s roughly accurate though still off.

[CurtEastPoint]

32. where is this data coming from? Source? Links?

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Alas, It Appears Accurate

As much as i hate doing anything to have Empty Greene's back: From NPR:

109,680 people died as the fentanyl crisis continued to deepen, according to preliminary data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eight states saw drug deaths continue to surge by nine percent or more, with the greatest increases of 21 percent coming in Washington state and Wyoming.

https://www.npr.org/2023/05/18/1176830906/overdose-death-2022-record#:~:text=109%2C680%20people%20died%20as%20the,in%20Washington%20state%20and%20Wyoming.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

19. American narcotics consumers are the real unmentioned drivers of all this.

Cartels go to Mexico or import from China the machinery, pill pressers i.e., and legal precursor chemicals for fentanyl….which is a legal painkiller America imports because it’s yet another neglected industry.

The drugs produced by a Chinese machine in Mexico using chemicals commonly produced everywhere, shipped to consumers in America. Or to wholesalers like those recently dined billions… to push the pills on the consumers, willing or not,

Look at the head of the dog, not the ass end. More than one villain in this worldwide supply chain tied to a post in america.

[Chili Pepper]

20. Sure. Let Russia slowly take over Eastern Europe

and then maybe the rest of Europe.

That won't have ANY effect on the security and well being of the US and it's citizens



I realize sometimes politicians say outrageous things for sound bites, knowing that they're outrageous and false but they say them anyway for their constituents. But I truly believe that MTG is really that dumb and ignorant and she believes everything she says.

[johnp3907]

28. Well, if we let Russia have Ukraine we'll have "peace for our time."

That worked once before, didn’t it? 🤔

[rurallib]

21. Joe Wilson of South Carolina?

That couldn't be the guy that tried to upstage Obama? I thought he quit long ago?

[FailureToCommunicate]

30. I'm guessing MTG is fine with Americans working every

day to give that massive tax break to the rich awhile back, right?

What a maroon she is.

[mcar]

31. Perf

“I request an Advil and yield one minute to Rep. Joe Wilson from South Carolina.”

[paleotn]

34. Screeching of a trog.

Bad thing is, she doesn't even realize what fucking buffoon she really is.

[Mblaze]

40. She can't even count the number of Americans

Who do not agree with her in any way. She has a small section of Georgia on her side and acts like it’s the world.

[FuzzyDicePHL]

42. You know her ass

must get jealous of all the shit that comes out of her mouth.

[Kath2]

46. She is horrible.

One of the worst.
