I have to say it but Marjorie Taylor Greene is making sense.

The blind pig that finds a truffle.

3. What did she say?

5. Sorry, frustrated, replied in wrong spot.

Nevermind. Maybe someone will post a link.

6. She stated that the people show their strength to the government. Part of what she said is below.

"It rapes you every single day," she insisted. "Social Security, you pay in and your Social Security check, and your employer matches it for all these years, and you retire and you get like a diddly $1,500 a month. I mean, that is such a pathetic joke."

"So when I tell you, look, I am dead serious about the American people," the lawmaker added. "If they really wanted to, everybody I work with, all of my colleagues, everybody in the government, they would be terrified to talk to a lobbyist or talk to a foreign government or they would be terrified to, to step out of line if the American people got serious about forcing Congress and the Senate and the administration, no matter who's serving, to serve them, serve the people."

14. I agree.

16. There's no shortage of Republicans right now that are saying the right things, but we know they are full of shit.

Acting like they care about the government being shut down when they could singlehandedly reopen it, acting like they care about SNAP benefits when they have voted to cut funding from it, etc.

[Wounded Bear]

15. She's on the "right side of a few issues" but I still don't trust her...nt

[Efilroft Sul]

17. If she teams up with Jasmine Crockett to write legislation that truly benefits the people, then she might be believable.

[OLDMDDEM]

18. Good point.
