    Greene is a trash bag pretending to be human.

      That’s not fair at all. Trash bags have a lot of utility.

        And they’re a lot more pleasing to the eye, relatively speaking.

      She’s a pretty shitty trash bag. Trash bags are supposed to keep the garbage in, not spill it all over the place.

    Daaaaamn. I read the exchanges, what an absolute cunt goblin. Greene and every R on that panel who didn’t say shit to her, needs to get a swift kick in the mouth.

    “If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blond bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

    We were all thinking it.

    “Why don’t you debate me?” Greene asked.

    “I think it’s pretty self-evident,” Ocasio-Cortez shot back.

    “Yeah, you don’t have enough intelligence,” Greene responded, prompting uproar among Democrats.

    Like the time she tried to remind the house to consider decorum like a week after she bleated like a donkey at Biden. Fucking dumb ass lady.

      Was that before or after she entered revenge porn into the congressional record?

        Before, I believe. But I wouldn’t put it past her to repeat both as many times as possible, thus the question becomes a time paradox and wouldn’t you know it the universe implodes.

      We don’t.

      Trump was nail in the coffin showing others there isn’t actually consequence if you’re connected enough.

      Performative drama politics from here on out. All decorum out the fucking window.

      People like Greene are such dullard plants for distraction. But maybe it’s scarier that many Americans identify with this type of bullying.
