But the Georgia congresswoman got backup from an unlikely ally: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

She's fucking insane, but most of them are. The only good I see of this is that there is in-fighting. The more they tear each other apart the less grip they have...

Someone smarter than me hopefully will post a better picture on what this means...

When they've run out of things to consume (anything they make a big deal of), they eat themselves.

Lauren Boebert is likely the next target. She doesn't contribute anything.

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Except Greene was apparently booted for calling Boebert a bitch, so that wouldn't make a ton of sense.

Nothing about that group makes sense.

If anything, watching these people in our government do what they do gives me hope that more people will feel encouraged to take up running for government office.

If that's all it takes to get in the bar for entry is lower than any other 6 figure job in this country. All you need is a platform, a high school diploma or ged, and enough people to see the letter R or D next to your name and think that you'd do fine. Might even go the extra step for a name change. First name "Congressman", last name can stay the same. I'm sure there are districts this would absolutely work in.

Congressman Coskii sounds pretty good to me...

Remember when the Tea Party were the wackadoos of the GOP?

[-] Litesgod@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

We are seeing the natural evolution of the tea party. If you can win by running to the right of your opponent, then your next opponent will run to the right of you. It's a gerrymandered death spiral and we are all just along for the ride.

She really struggles to maintain basic decorum, doesn't she? I can't understand what her constituents see in her.

Idiot Republican gets thrown out of House Idiots Caucus for insulting another idiot Republican

[-] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

She's such a fucking kook the other kooks think she's a kook.

couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
