It’s almost as if Marjorie Taylor Greene shouldn’t be there at all.
Folks, this is not complicated. If you harass and incite violence against your colleagues, you do not belong in Congress. Expel Marjorie Taylor Greene.

.@mtgreenee, @RepMTG is an embarrassment to America. She is clearly not mentally well and walks around Congress with a gun trying to start fights. It should not be lost on voting Americans that @GOPLeader and the @gop support her but not @RepLizCheney.https://t.co/QGtRIDCPKg

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Taylor Greene: "I used to work as a bartender. These are the kinds of people that I threw out of bars all the time." https://t.co/T0RddDStRj

Congress needs a good bartender/bouncer.
parents: make sure to give your children all the attention they need, so they don't grow up to be Marjorie Taylor Greene

School teachers commonly ask misbehaving students, “Do you act this way at home?” It’s a cliche, but it expresses an underlying truth: almost everyone has some home. Some group that they consider themselves part of and that they don’t want to be separated from. People generally submit to the norms of their own group, and feel shame (fear of separation) when they violate those norms.
It would be interesting to know what (if anything) MTG regards as her home, and how she behaves among those people.
A teacher discomfited by my salty language once asked me what my mother would think if she heard me speak that way. “Who do you think I learned it from?” I said.
I’m sure that MTG revels in her abuse of her colleagues when she’s at home.
MTG is the toxic result of combining “The customer is always right” and “You get the government you deserve.”
Look on the bright side. Could be worse. MTG could have got into robbing little old ladies walking home from church, or pinching the coins out of blind men’s cups.
You say that as if she isn’t already doing that…
If you haven’t seen Randy Rainbow’s Marjorie Taylor Green song yet, you need to see it.
She needs to be removed from Congress. She is a schoolyard bully, but now her playground is the Congress, and she carries a gun.
If I hear another another word about “the values we all share” or how “there are more things uniting than dividing us”, I’m going to drown the world in a tsunami of vomit..
Reminds me of the time that I went to a community meeting of some sort, and happened to encounter the father of a boy who had been bullying my son at school. It became perfectly clear where the kid had learned his tactics.
This resulted in one of my many, many suspensions from school. I explained that of course I didn’t behave that way at home. Neither did I sit at a desk and listen to someone droning on about history, I continued. What – I enquired – is your point?
It didn’t go down well, but I stand by my argument.
@latsot, #9: My hat is off to you, sir!
(The aforementioned son was also bored in school in addition to being bullied, though his coping mechanism was to surreptitiously read (scifi or science) books hidden in his desk. The teachers were annoyed that he appeared to not pay attention in class, but nonetheless did very well on tests, and one even tried to keep him back a year, but the principal vetoed that.)
