Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Marjorie Taylor Greene has said Democrats will "face the wrath" of the American people if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer shelves the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Lmao what a clickbait headline. And Marj, NO ONE cares about impeaching that dude, I'd bet less than 10% of Americans even know who he is.

[–] Deello@lemm.ee 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think that's the point. Slowly start flipping as many seats of power to those that will support the next coup attempt. Start with the lower positions that nobody recognizes and work your way up from there. Isn't that the whole point of project 2025.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes. The Nazi party knows their window is closing. If they can get tiny d into power this time around, they are not going to waste any time like his first 4 years. And people like Marj and that creepy little weirdo Mike Johnson will be 100% on board with destroying America.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Come on, you know damn well the "American people" she's talking about and the wrath she's talking about inciting.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

OANn and Newsmax viewers who think this and Hunter’s dick are the only two things going on in politics at the moment.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I wonder what Marge's porn folder has and if it involves Hunter at all.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes. They aren't even really bothering with dog whistles any more.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Only the terminally online qtarded right wing would be with her.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 55 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So she is down to plain old threats now? That's all she got left? What a loser.

[–] badmemes@feddit.de 39 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No she is gearing up for when trump takes over.

Keep in mind the nazis took power at a time when their votes weren't at their then all-time-high anymore and never had a majority by themselves.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

If this twat thinks she won't be addressed with the rest of the Nazis she's kidding herself.

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Don't forget cussing out reporters

I've met cabbages with more going on upstairs than this dingbat.

Now I'm feeling bad about eating them for St. Paddy's Day.

"Is this 'wrath' in the room with us right now? Does the 'wrath' live with the 'Kraken'?"

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Excuse me, waiter, there is a wrath in my gazpacho soup.

[–] ChimaericDesire@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 months ago

And could you send please warm it up? It's cold.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Ok crazy lady, time to put you to bed.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Republicans only do wrath. Just put that wrath on the pile with the rest of the wrath.

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

I've sometimes compared politics to professional wrestling, in the sense of "faces and heels in mostly staged battles to entertain the masses."

This is the first time I've been tempted to compare it to professional wrestling in the sense of "heavily made-up freaks shouting threats into microphones."

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

That's when she challenged Harris to the squared circle. Her walk out song is "Small town" and her sidekick is a little version of her dressed up as a small government building. That's right, it's Greene and The Small Government.

Pay per view special extravaganza. Only this Saturday.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Somebody forgot to pay the toll on her bridge.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Too many boys getting into her hole is why her marriage fell apart.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

She hacked the jewish space laser's website.

(wait... somebody needs to create this as a flash game. To mock her. maybe in the format of missile defense?)

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 6 points 8 months ago

I like that they're using the Andre The Giant camera angle on her.

KAAAAAAAHN!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has said Democrats will "face the wrath" of the American people if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer shelves the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The Republican-controlled House voted in February to impeach Mayorkas over the handling of the border crisis by President Joe Biden's administration.

House Republicans have spent months investigating Mayorkas' actions as they continue to position border security among the key issues in the 2024 election.

"So here's the deal: If Chuck Schumer wants to table these articles of impeachment, I think the Democrat Party as a whole is going to face the wrath of the American people."

"Chuck Schumer and the Senate must hold a trial to remove Mayorkas from office or they too will have blood on their hands," she continued.

The other impeachment managers are Mark Green of Tennessee, Michael McCaul of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Ben Cline of Virginia, Michael Guest of Mississippi, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Austin Pfluger of Texas, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming and Laurel Lee of Florida.

Barney Rubble just says crazy shit. The news loves it because we watch it and then get outraged and watch more. And the money flows. Of course if Dementia J trump gets in, her stupid threats will have teeth. Still stupid though.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This crazy harpy is just dying to incite a civil war, not realizing that if crazy assholes like her finally get their way and the country actually falls into a shooting war that they will likely be some of the first that people come for.

Don't think for a second that there are not people in the military and the police that are fully aware of how un-American shitstains like Marge really are. There are surely a lot of wingers in both groups, but there are also real patriots, too. Dumbass accelerationists like Marge imagine that only right wingers have guns.
