Greene was previously banned from Twitter for spreading COVID disinformation and continues to spread lies about the pandemic to this day.

2. The inmates are now in charge of the asylum.

Pass the popcorn, please.

3. Great.

5. The Not Serious Party.

I am sure MT will get a lot of chances to make a fool of herself in the next 2 years. Democrats did her a favor, keeping her off committee and away from a mic that will broadcast her ignorance.

6. The McCarthy sphere

In the newly assembled maga House, the fox rules the hen's coop, the alligator tends the seal pups and the wolf oversees the sheep.

[sheshe2]

9. Correct.

Methinks it's going to be a long two years.

Welcome to DU, Jrose.

[Jrose]

13. It'll certainly be a rocky climb, but...

Hi sheshe,
Thanks for your hello wave!
Hopefully, the 'beast' will continue to devour itself.

[niyad]

16. Welcome to our DU family.

33. More like monkeys with machine guns

They're here to wreck shit

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Well, if that puts pressure on her to avoid taking the vaccinations to please her MAGA pals,

she might find herself picking up a bug or two in the process.

[llmart]

30. I doubt bugs want to live in her.

She's more toxic than they are.

[dweller]

10. Well that certainly cracks it

Expect a total ban on masks, and mandatory invermectin buttplugs when you test positive …

11. These are the same people that voted to overturn the election results

[RockRaven]

12. The two of them belong on a Select Committee for Chlamydia, or so people say...

Many people are talking about it.

[DURHAM D]

14. LOL I hope the first thing she does is demand that Diamond

be dug up to prove she did not die from a heart attack but died from the Covid vaccination.

[purr-rat beauty]

15. Great...

That'll kill off more MAGAT voters

[Rebl2]

20. True

[BOSSHOG]

17. Ah, Kevin playing to his strength

Putting a medical expert on a medical committee. Surely Margie will do no harm. Surely I jest.

[haele]

27. Hey, she's into CrossFit and Tantric Yoga.

Those are physical health adjacent, so wouldn't it be like she had some sort of medical thingies, right?

Haele

[BOSSHOG]

29. And she divorced her husband

Or did he divorce her? More proof of medical expertise. And according to all the screaming and shouting in the doctors lounge Margie’s tantric is bigger then Lauren’s. I expect some cosmic force movement out of this committee.

[Initech]

18. These conspiracy theory fuckheads want to see Dr. Fauci publicly executed.

I feel like no other response will be the correct one for these assholes. They all need to be expelled and removed before they cause serious damage.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. The idiots are leading the House

[tinymontgomery]

21. Why don't the people they call

Why don't the people they call just answer every question saying "Your an idiot" to all republicans questions and answer the Democrats questions honestly. What are the republics going to do, arrest them?

[Captain Zero]

26. Actually you are onto something there.

Just a brief answer with a fact about anything to the GQPquestions, and comprehensive answers to the questions from Dems.

[LuvLoogie]

36. +1000

Oh man. That's beauty.

[barbtries]

22. are republicans that close to achieving their end game

of permanent republican rule. because this shit sucks beyond words.

maybe their end game is the ruination of the USA.

MEDIA get your fucking shit together.

[IronLionZion]

23. One of many reasons why we should fight for every election

because of who draws house district lines

[k8conant]

24. Vomitable...

[SergeStorms]

25. I thought COVID was a hoax?

So Kevin put his new squeeze in charge of investigating a hoax? Kevin just wants to schedule more late night "informational meetings" with his new sweetheart.

Nothing good can come of this.

[viva la]

28. The more time they waste investigating bogus "issues"

the less time they'll spend coming up with horrific bills to impoverish us.

[Takket]

31. this just in: McCarthy has put arsonist on select committee for fire

[GenThePerservering]

32. Out front and center

where we can keep an eye on her. The GOP is hellbent on destroying itself.

It's why I like George Santos there - he's a distraction and an embarrassment and they'll have to do housekeeping for these nutbags for the next two years - keeps them from making everything worse than they already have.

[kacekwl]

37. It completely baffles me as to why

the leadership actually the whole Republican party isn't laughed at and ridiculed off the face of the planet. Sadly the media covers for their ridiculous actions when they should be reporting how insane they are. It is not funny because they are treated as normal and clearly are sick sociopaths.

[Rhiannon12866]

38. Good Grief!

And here we thought we were out of the woods when we evicted the disgraced twice impeached former president from the White House and the experienced adults were back in charge! Now we're stuck with more insanity thanks to a slight majority in the House!

43. I have checked out of politics since Rs took over House. Just stopped by to take a look and see this

And debt limit and spending. It's been a nice break. Now back to my 3 hour per episode Turkish shows I watch online. The Ottoman Empire was quite progressive. Conquering other countries, they allowed them to keep their religion and provided security, etc. ( of course in return for slaves and taxes). Now interesting thing I didn't know. Of course, the Ottoman Sultans were known for their large harems. Some conquered people were enslaved. An enslaved woman chosen for the Harem would be well-fed and educated. They served as breeding stock for future Sultans. Unlike most European monarchies, the Sultan usually had many male heirs from within the harem, all competing to be the Sultan. Survival of the fittest at play as any male heirs could claim or take the Sultanate from the Sultan even while he was alive. So once the new Sultan was in place, the first thing he would do would have his male sibling killed, usually strangled by bowing arrow string to avoid bloodshed. I thought that was interesting. Also, within the Harem, all the politics played by the princes' mothers who played a vital advisory role to their sons. Princes lived in constant fear that they would be killed. One Sultan had 19 of his siblings murdered, even the babies. Not long after that and after Sulieman The Magnificient married his concubine, a Ukrainian slave girl who's name escapes me, did the killing of heirs stop. After Sultan Murad iV, a brutal but effective Sultan did they outlaw killing of the remaining male heirs. Magnificent Century watch it on Netflix-incredible show.

44. there is no bottom for these evil doers
