MTG Doesn't Work And Play Well With Others


By Sniffles

Was Marjorie Taylor Greene a "difficult" child in school? Did she have any friends on the playground? Did she get picked for volleyball in gym class? All signs are pointing toward: No.

First there was a report about Greene haranguing Representative Cori Bush in the hallway about wearing masks. (Greene's against them, but Nancy Pelosi has forced her to comply.) Bush was alarmed enough about the encounter that she asked to have her offices moved "for the safety of my team," she said. (Good luck with that, by the way — Congressional office space, especially for freshmen, is at a premium.)

Now there's more of a feel-good story about another Greene neighbor: Representative Marie Newman of Illinois. Newman put a transgender rights flag on display outside her office door — which is right across the hall — after Greene gave an inflammatory speech slamming the Equality Act as "disgusting, immoral and evil" for protecting trans and other LGBT people from discrimination.

"Thought we’d put up our transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door," Newman tweeted.

Poor Marjorie! At this rate, nobody is going to sit with her in the cafeteria or on the school bus. Which may be for the better, since it's been revealed that a close associate of hers helped the Trump mob storm the Capitol on January 6. With investigations of the insurrection cranking up, more dirt on Greene is sure to come out. Will she even make it through her first term? We cats HISS.

UPDATE: You may already know that Greene hung an anti-trans sign outside her door as a response, and that the Face Thing has let her post about it stay up while labeling Newman's as "hate speech." Mark Zuckerberg truly is competing with Donald Trump for the title of Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, isn't he? We cats HISS again.
