Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday said she’s “done” with the Republican Party, which she said has turned into the “America LAST” party.

Her comments came after right-wing commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he was done with the party after voting Republican his entire life.

    Nah. There are certain people that dont get a pass. I wouldnt piss on her if she was on fire and she gets no points for being the same self-serving rat she’s always been.

    Anyone that followers her away from this administration will likely follow her down whatever terrible thing she backs next.

      Not to say I dislike justice but I’m a hippie, the one people one love, unconditional love, hope, and forgiveness as best I can manage type. I get where you’re coming from, I wasn’t always this way, used to be a pretty angry fellow. For me I’m more so sad to see minds and hearts that are so deep into ignorance that they cause needless and avoidable suffering to themselves and others. I like to see minds become aware because they stop causing needless and avoidable suffering. Of course that process of becoming aware can be quite hellish at times, which is why most don’t bother. To me if it can be managed it’s the ultimate punishment because on the other side you get a person who wants to decrease needless and avoidable suffering.

      I also wouldnt really want to help put her out if she was on fire. But if she grabs a fire extinguisher and starts helping put out the raging world ending fire… I won’t tell her to stop or push her away until it is out.

      At least we know what she is doing for now

        The thing is that what she is doing is holding up a prop fire extinguisher, to get a photo in the news. She still thinks and wants the same awful things.

        For sure. But im a soft hearted man and if I give her an inch I’ll start to forget the miles bullshit she helped march us through to get here. The best I can do is silence, but when someone starts giving people like her any credit I get livid.

        I believe that we can agree on somethings and disagree on others but still work together. MTG is not one of those people and I count myself lucky that I’m not in politics because I would pull my hair out with all the stone walling and theater that people like her have done over the last 3 decades.

        There is no decorum or forgiveness for career politicians. I can count on one hand the ones I would trust enough to vote for again in any election.

          I have a thought for how much a trust any politician.
          And its that if they hear the government is full of corruption and back alley deals of no work or hard work and is excited about joining.

          Well then they probably arent going to do much to actually make it better for me, compared to what they are thinking about for themself.

          But hey, eventually got to do something about it and even if that means finding someone who doesnt want to burn alive even if it is selfish cause at least they might help.
