If a Democrat complained about making $174K for a half-year’s work, the MAGAtosphere would blow up with outrage about how out of touch she is with the common voter. And they’d actually be right. So where’s the rightwing outrage over MTG’s remarks?

I guess IOKWARWATCI.

(It’s OK when a Republican whines about their congressional income.)

To be fair to Marge, while her (now ex) was running daddy’s business, she invested in a CrossFit gym and was busy having adulterous tantric sex (thus the “now ex” part),

Credit where credit is due.

Something I’ve always wondered about MTG: remember that day, shortly before Jan 6, when she skipped down the Whitehouse stairs to speak to the press. She said something about a productive planning session. I would just love to know what contribution this moran could have possibly made. I wish the meeting had been recorded.

I resent that that woman takes up oxygen that someone else could use. Seriously, does she have any intention of actually doing her job?

I hope they check her for a gun tonight. Seriously, she might never intend to use it, but it could be taken from her. I wonder if her and Boebert plan on heckling him again; that was fucking embarrassing.

Somebody simply _has to_ use a blow dart on that thing in the House chamber.

And I’m almost 100% sure that I’m talking about the balloon.

ETA: It’d be great if Biden did it himself 😉

The Republicans have made such a fuss about “we can bring guns to the Capitol” plus “no magnetometers” that it seems all too likely that someone is planning to at least display their gun in the chamber during the SOTU, as a means of grabbing headlines and goosing up donations.

And as you note, if (say) Empty were to pull her gun out, it could always be taken from her.

Greene, Boebert, Gosar…there are quite a few not-particularly-mentally-healthy Republicans. And they’re allowed to bring guests, who may be even more unhinged.

A lot depends on how deep the white-supremacy goes in the Secret Service. Some of those agents may not be moved by the idea that if someone is shot on their watch, the reputation of the Service will be harmed. Some of them may not care about that at all.

I think this should be expected. Until Republicans change. So, it should be expected.

At least it’s unlikely they’ll be sitting together again. It will probably be Gaetz and Booboo, Perjury and Santos. A double date from hell.

That was over 13 years ago. The Republican party was more restrained and less extreme back then.

EDIT: I See @Johnny_L.A posted a similar story a few days ago. I think it bears repeating after the SOTU.
