Watching the debate on res 8 right now. Why can’t these people vote within the allotted time? they get 20 minutes to vote on their “electronic device” but the clock always runs out and many still haven’t voted yet. ---

> [@Grrr](#): > > Why can’t these people vote within the allotted time? they get 20 minutes to vote on their “electronic device” but the clock always runs out and many still haven’t voted yet. Based on what I saw during the votes on January 6th for certifying election results, the House has been having members vote in groups, in order to maintain social distancing. Thus, votes take a lot longer than they would otherwise. ---

She’s also a complete and total grifter who’s raising a ton of money from gullible rubes who are happy to throw their paychecks at people that endorse violence against Democrats. > **[Controversy brings small donor success for Marjorie Taylor Greene](https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/02/marjorie-taylor-greene-capitalizing-on-controversy/)** > > Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is capitalizing on controversy to raise big money from small donors loyal to former President Donald Trump. Now, that doesn’t mean she’s not deluded, the two are only not mutually exclusive - the most successful religious grifters actually do believe that they’re the one true prophet, ---

Given the amount of grifting Trump has done, and the amount of Sell Your Gold ads there are on conservative media, I’m totally shocked that she’s also a grifter. Totally. ---

Said another way: She’s either a nutbag, or she plays one on TV & GoFundMe. That schtick certainly has paid off well for televangelists of the supposedly Christian persuasion. And has for 40+ years. There’s no reason it can’t work equally suce$$fully for televangelists of the supposedly Republican, Trumpist, Fascist, or Qanonist persuasions as well. Or even all 4 groups; it’s a broad and ecumenical sorta-faith community. ---

We’ve been watching the goings on in the House today on C-Span. The republicans are trying their best to twist this into a “power grab”, but no matter how they slice it, this woman needs to lose her seat on committees, and hopefully her next election. McCarthy is even trying to say that no member should be punished for what they said before they were elected! Had to turn it off when bat-shit crazy Jim Jordan started ranting about the Russian investigation. He really needs to spit out Trump’s dick and get on with life. ---
