I’m all in favor of salting her, lest she bear more offspring. ---

How can anyone not think this woman is a danger to herself and others?! > **[Marjorie Taylor Greene claims Illinois school got $5.1bn for critical race...](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-critical-race-theory-b2274577.html)** > > Republicans have used the term loosely when discussing courses that teach racism and equity She asked the US Comptroller Gene Dodaro how much federal Covid funding went to funding critical race theory in schools. Dodaro was taken aback at first by the question since it was so ridiculous, but he recovered and assured her that the money could not be used to buy curriculum. She countered that a single elementary school in Illinois received $5.1 billion to buy CRT materials. **$5.1 billion for a single elementary school.** That makes the claims about kitty litter boxes in schools seem credible by comparison. The only good thing about MTG is that she’s even a liability to her own party. ---

You’re supposed to become a congressperson to make the country a better place (which you’re _not_, by the way), not to get rich. You only work half a hear? That’s an effective salary of $384,000 per year. If you don’t like it, get out. _That_ would make the country a better place! ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > If you don’t like it, get out. _That_ would make the country a better place! There really is no real “work” involved in that job if you don’t want there to me. (and if you get kicked off committees). Good legislators do work hard, but no one is making them. Has anyone asked MTG “how many bills did you introduce?” or “How many hours did you spend in the office doing things other than surfing the web?” ---

Several of them need to go. Santos who lied to get into office, Gaetz for his criminal activities and bullying, AOC, the one from MI - part of “the squad”, Ilhan Omar from MN. Both sides need to clean house, end the circus, and get better politicians to pass legislation. ---

If it wasn’t for her parents, she’d be lucky to be a burger flipper. She has one of the easiest jobs on earth. Maybe her main problem is that she’s the laughing stock of the known world. ---

LOL you beat me to it. The most horrible things I’ve heard about AOC is her Green New Deal (which was a leaked draft never submitted to my knowledge, so who cares) and not knowing what a garbage disposal was until she was an adult. Ilhan Omar is guilty of being a Muslim. Surely those things are just as bad as the crimes and insanity of the Republicans they’re being equated with.
