”Greene liked posts about putting a bullet in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) head and executing FBI agents.”

Better question: Why is Rep. Marjorie Greene not in jail and under indictment for threatening the lives of current and former government officials?

On the other hand, Ms. Greene makes Trump look quite normal.

Not possible. They are both psychopathic.

Maybe we can finally make Reconstruction work as it was intended. If you haven’t read Foner’s book, do so, and you’ll see which side actually won the Civil War.

I wish she was Silent Greene…

Or Soylent.

Either way…

“And what we can learn from the past is that we must do something about it or it festers.”

Unfortunately, what some people learned from the past is that, for example, the thugs who perpetrated the Wilmington coup totally got away with it.

The emotions generated by the evidence and witnesses of the Senate Impeachment Trial will not change Greene,

But they will marginalize her to the Americans we need to turn this country around.

If Josh Hawley has the face of a horse, MTG has the face of a horse’s ass. Dear gawd, that woman is ugly.

I guess I don’t see the problem in tossing her under the 14th amendment. Her governor is a Republican. She’ll be replaced by a Republican. No harm, no foul there. Then the FBI and the new and improved DOJ can throw her ass in stir.

It’s unclear how Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) plans to tackle the Greene problem. His spokesman told Axios that McCarthy would “have a conversation” with her.

McCarthy: Great job!
Greene: Thanks!

Ridiculous to think that the GOP thinks she’s a problem. What GOP would that be?

Greene is proud of her vileness. She posts it on her own youtube channel.

Foner pointed to the coup in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898 when a group of white supremacists successfully overthrew a democratically-elected biracial government. Or the 1873 Colfax massacre, where as many as 150 Black men were killed by white Southerners in the wake of the contested election for governor of Louisiana.

Here we are 150 years later and the great-great-great grandchildren of those people are repeating the same seditious acts for the same damn reasons. If we don’t finally address white supremacy in this country then our great-great-great grands will be dealing with this bullshit too.

This quote from the article, as the article itself proves, is untrue:

“His waffling is a sign of the stain that Trumpism has left on the party,”

As has been said many times, Trump did not create his base but rather his base created Donald Trump. Barack Obama recounted that when first elected he actually had supportive and constructive communications with Trump. Obama went on to say that Trump became who he is today not because he actually believed in birtherism or any of his other racist or hateful lies but rather because he saw an opportunity.

I am not an expert on General George Armstrong Custer but I read once that he was actually a fair and just person when dealing with Native Americans until someone approached him about running for president by murdering as many Native Americans as he possibly could.

Rather than current Republican attitude toward Trump showing that the stain on the Republican Party that created Trump remains a stain on the Republican Party.
