Did Greene seriously call someone out for not doing their job?
Something something projection, something, confession.
The people who are in committees with Greene have noted in the past that she basically doesn't attend them, unless the media is there, when she shows up just long enough to be disruptive and make the news. At which point, she leaves and they can get back to work.
The "every accusation is a confession" quote you're referencing has never been more accurate. I don't think Greene has the mental creativity to imagine that there are any people who are doing worse things than her.
The cognitive dissonance of this cunt....
I think it’s more of “that’s what i do so everyone else must do the same”.
They do it and believe everyone else does too.
Whoa, don't call her a cunt. She doesn't have the depth or the warmth.
I'd call her a caveman but that's an insult to actual cave people, neanderthals, cro-magnon, caves, and men
worth noting that they did this but the still don't have a budget even though the government will shut down in about two weeks if they don't pass one, right before the holidays
(Cutting a public servant's salary just encourages them to get money from elsewhere, or encourages a government run by the generationally wealthy)
So the Republican platform in a nut shell?
Hopefully, the American people will stop letting her be in congress, and she can be forgotten to the point that the Magic: The Gathering folks can have their letters back.
I prefer calling her Perjury Greene for that reason and because I watched her commit blatant perjury during the hearing to determine whether she was fit to run for re-election. In a court setting. Under oath. While it was streaming live for the entire world to see. No consequences whatsoever 🤬
It would have to exist in the first place to allow or disallow anything
"i always thought there couldn't possibly be a God, with all the evil in the world. But perhaps... all this evil exists because there is a God. Perhaps, yes, perhaps this God just isn't a particularly nice guy. It's possible that God isn't a DJ, but an arsehole."
"You know the saying that God created Man in His image? Well, look around. If you assume that God is an arsehole, it suddenly makes a lot of sense."

Counter with an amendment that also reduces Greene and co's salary to $1
Or to make a stronger point, make it 50% of their current salary so their supporters know how much money they make
Sadly, this isn't possible, because Congressmen have their salaries guaranteed in the Constitution, and the people who oppose her positions have actually read it and take its limitations on their power seriously.
It's not sad in general. It's a good thing to pay our Congresspersons, because the alternative is that only rich people can afford to be Congresspeople.
We should have a law that says the representatives don't get paid if they shut the government down because they can't pass a CR.
That only hurts the less corrupt and newer Reps. It wouldn't do anything to the long time incumbents who run all the committees because of bullshit seniority rules.
Maybe just fire them all and trigger new elections. But thinking about that for a second, the long time incumbents would just win again because voters fucking suck balls.
Maybe just fire them all and trigger new elections
Literally what happens in most Westminster parliamentary systems if the budget doesn't get passed. Canada's government never shuts down but there was that one time we had elections like every 6 months.
There's already a mechanism for the House of Representatives to hold cabinet secretaries to account.
She'd have to read the US Constitution to know what I'm referring to, of course.
Well I’m glad she said the quiet part out loud so that the hard-of-hearing bigots could pick up on the dog whistle. Very inclusive of her.
To what end? I'm pretty sure we need a fucking transport secretary what with interstate commerce not being restricted.
Surely if they care about spending so much, they'd be willing to cut their own salary and benefits, right? I mean, I'm sure whatever payoffs they're getting more than outweight their salaries.
It’s worse
She celebrated this as her firing him (it’s not)
And claimed this would stop him from paying for private flights/security (he doesn’t, the government does)
