She needs to be done with being in office, I don't care if she's breaking the mold, I will not stand a rehabilitation of her image. She's still a racist antisemite conspiracy theory believer. She's an idiot who should have never been elected.

I want her to splinter off with Elon and some others.

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can she be done with politics period? Fucking lunatic.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Obnoxious fucking lunatic, mind you. The way she gavels and talks over Ms. Crockett makes me seethe every time.

She wants Elon money

Heartbreaking: the worst person in the world just made a good point

Trump finally out-crazied her and now she no longer lives in the constant never-ending news cycles where she was once uber-popular.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Well she's not wanted in the Dems, maybe the X party has room.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

She completed the task her handlers gave her like a good puppet.

Why? Too crazy for her? Hahahahahahahahahaha.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago

Not too crazy enough

I'll believe it to be sincere when she either resigns or fails to run for re-election.

Good! The worst fights come from a messy divorce, and MTG is a world class bitch even under normal circumstances. This smells like popcorn time for us outsiders on the bleachers.

I'd hoped she was growing, then I rta. Still, recognizing a genocide is a big step and growth isn't linear, and is messy AF. Here's hoping for the best possible outcome. 🙏

i always thought firebrand meant more like passionate eloquence not outraged ignorance

The Georgia congresswoman specifically referenced Elise Stefanik, the Republican Rep. from New York. Trump initially nominated Stefanik to serve as U.S. ambassador to the U.N., but then reportedly pulled her nomination to maintain a safe majority in the House of Representatives. Instead, he nominated former national security adviser Mike Waltz.

Greene said Stefanik got “screwed” by Speaker Mike Johnson and people in the White House – Greene specifically said she did not blame the president.

It's the party that's to blame, not the authoritarian ruler who controls it.

She “hints” at it because she hasn’t mastered the use of language yet.

So she's getting hre Nazi card to make it official?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Please, just do the whole country a favor, and just quit. No more morons in office.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Oh no how unfortunate.
