Well, no Andrew Clyde thread (also coulda gone in the schadenfraude thread too, spose) (_or_ maskhole thread, or…)…  
[https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/29/us/mask-mandate-fines-greene-clyde.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/29/us/mask-mandate-fines-greene-clyde.html)

> A resolution approved by the House in January says that members will be fined $500 the first time they fail to wear a mask on the House floor, and $2,500 for subsequent violations. The House Ethics Committee notes each fine in a news release, but Ms. Greene’s and Mr. Clyde’s violations were so numerous that the panel began announcing theirs in bunches. Ms. Greene, who has said she is unvaccinated, called the mask requirement “communist,” “tyrannical” and “authoritarian.” “The American people have had enough and are standing up against these outrageous and unconstitutional policies,” she said in a statement. Ms. Greene has been fined more than 30 times for violating the mask rules, accumulating more than $80,000 in penalties, according to her office. She was fined five days in a row during one stretch this fall.

Wage garnishment on the Congressional salary. That’ll hit her where she lives.

Until Republicans take over the House next session and repay the garnishments, with interest.

Now the silly bitch is talking about [barring people who move from blue states to red states from voting.](https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-it-wise-bar-democrats-who-move-red-states-voting-1664155)

> If red states and blue states were to “divorce” each other, Representative [Marjorie Taylor Greene](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene) called it possible that people who move from a Democratic state to a Republican state would be barred from voting for a temporary “cooling off” period…“After Democrat voters and big donors ruin a state like California, you would think it wise to stop them from doing it to another great state like Florida,” Greene tweeted.

I know it sounds farfetched, but I wonder if any of this embarrassment’s constituents have any buyer’s regret at all? At the most, they probably wish she’d shut the fuck up.

eta: I guess they didn’t have much of a choice, considering she ran unopposed.

Fuck no. She’s been [exactly what it says on the tin](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin) this whole time. They knew exactly what they were buying, and she’s delivered that in spades.

Since she’s worth $15 million just from the 100% stake in her contracting company, I doubt $80 grand in fines will faze her. Besides, she could probably raise that amount easily by selling a portion of her stock in Trump’s Digital World.

Being sanctioned by the Establishment is a relatively cheap way to get Rebel Cred.

😱

- When you read the story, make sure to check out - in the column on the right - perhaps the most intriguing headline you might ever see.

ETA - there were not one but two sources - Business Insider and Yahoo - that gave this error message when I tried to post the articles here:  
“Sorry, we were unable to generate a preview for this web page, because the following oEmbed / OpenGraph tags could not be found: description, image”  
WTF? Never had a problem before posting articles.  
Heh final eta - looking back, I see the headline’s gone.  
It read: “A tiger has shot and killed a man at a Florida zoo”.
