In a new book, the extremist Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claims no Democrats stayed in the House chamber on January 6 to help defend it against rioters sent by Donald Trump to block the certification of Joe Biden’s election win – a claim one Democrat who did stay labeled “patently false”.

    Why didn’t Greene walk out there to ask those people to leave? After all, if they were just patriotic Republican tourists, then they would have listened to her, right?

    Oh, what’s that? They were violent insurrectionists and she was hiding from them too? But she somehow thinks that the Democrats should have yelled “Democratic Avengers Assemble” and charged out there? (And now I’m picturing Bernie wielding Thor’s hammer.)

      No, you see they were being evacuated to get away from FBI plants that were leading the assault, not the patriotic protestors who were entrapped when they were lured into the building. The dems obviously knew they weren’t in any real danger, but their natural cowardice forced them to panic, put on masks, and retreat. It’s only thanks to heroic, gun toting warriors of the Republican caucus that the weaponized justice department wasn’t able to completely take over.

      And then afterwards Greene met with Trump, and asked him if that spray tan goes all the way down. And he was like, “oh Marjorie, you’re so hot, and white and American, and your forehead is just the right size.” And then he hulk flexed and his rippling orange muscles ripped through his clothes as easily as Venezuelans rip through electronic voting records. She walked over looked into his eyes as he placed his hands on her quivering shoulders, and gently pushed her to her knees wear a woman belongs.


      OK, that’s enough ghost written self insert fan fiction. I’m gonna take a shower and try not to vomit.

        WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR, POOR CEOs? Also someone needs to punish those selfish students who think that they have a right to their money instead of whichever monopolist picked them as victims!
