The GOP Is Deeply Unwell


By Zamboni

After CNN released a video of Marjorie Taylor Greene screaming at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez through her Capitol Hill office mail slot, AOC was charitable in her remarks to reporters today.

"This is a woman that’s deeply unwell," she said of Greene, "and clearly needs help...I think that this is an assessment that needs to be made by the proper professional."

Meanwhile, Greene's recent Villages travel buddy, Matt Gaetz, must be spending an interesting weekend, knowing that his former BFF Joel Greenberg is pleading guilty to six counts — including sexual trafficking of a minor — and pledging to cooperate in ensnaring more accomplices in his crimes. (This is on top of Gym Jordan looking the other way as his wrestlers at Ohio State were molested, not to mention the two-dozen-plus women who have accused Benedict Donald of sexual harassment and rape. What a party.)

And now Greene apparently filed a homestead exemptions on two homes in Georgia, which is against state law. In other words, she's a tax cheat. Are we surprised?

This seemed like a particularly bad week for the GOP. They defenestrated Liz Cheney for speaking out against an unpopular President who lost their party the House, the White House, and the Senate. They elevated a soulless opportunist to Cheney's position — a woman and a so-called former moderate, window dressing that fooled no one. The House remained bound by mask mandates, because while all Democrats are vaccinated, only 44 percent of Republicans are. And after several despicable GOP members tried to portray the January 6 insurrection as a "normal tourist day" on Capitol Hill, the House unexpectedly came to an agreement on a 1/6 commission.

Oh, and Neera Tanden got a White House job. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Team, we are super-worried about what will happen if the House goes Republican in 2022. Because even with Trump in exile at Mar-a-Lago, the GOP has gone so far off the deep end that democracy is still in danger. We need to figure out a way to keep this from happening. In the meantime, we cats HISS.
