Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been fined a third time for refusing to wear a mask on the House floor, the House Ethics Committee disclosed on Monday.

Greene has now racked up a total of $5,500 worth of mask fines this year.

Under the rules that Democrats established in January to enforce compliance with the mask requirement on the House floor, members are fined $500 for the first offense and $2,500 for subsequent offenses.

Greene and several other Republicans were fined $500 in May for protesting the ongoing mask requirement at a time when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had advised that vaccinated people could forgo masks. But Greene has declined to confirm whether she is vaccinated and has been suspended from Twitter for promoting misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.

1. Must be nice

Being able to throw away 5500 dollars b cause you are too stupid to wear a mask.

[Tanuki]

6. She probably uses it as a fundraising ploy.

[LiberalLovinLug]

59. Yup. She probably makes more from NOT wearing a mask, than if she did

More than enough to pay off such a low fine.

As usual, Democrats don't come down hard enough. Just like going after the Jan 6 planners. Make a rule about not being allowed to enter after so many infractions of the rules.

For once I want to hear Republicans truly angry about Democrats going too far. I know they scream a lot anyways about any tiny perceived mistake by Democrats, but its all usually invented anger because its usually about something they are guilty of 10x more.

But I wanted and still want Democrats to be shouting out about traitors, and about Facism, and about the coming elections about the very survival of the democracy if Trump or a Trumpist wins. How much of a precipice we are on.

I honestly think that if the Democrats are scared about how Americans will react to them being more dramatic and forceful against this assault on democracy, I think they are wrong. They are reading too many Washington bubble press releases. I think a lot of Americans, independents and others, are just waiting to see a more bold Democratic response, and will not be impressed with some kind of luke warm "move forward" approach.

They seem to want to stop aiming the gun at the enemy because it looks too threatening and impolite to point a weapon, and so instead point it at their own foot and shoot it.

2. She wanted to get her UQLY face in the news again.

[Walleye]

4. She really is ugly. And I'm not one to dwell on appearances

Ugly is as ugly does

[littlemissmartypants]

22. Apologies in advance but

I blame it on her ears. Surely, I'm not the only one who has noticed how low set her ears are. The darn mask probably keeps falling off. She'll need a drastic 'body mod' approach to solve the problem. Did I say drastic? I meant DRASTIC.

[Walleye]

26. I think you're onto something, ears,mouth,hair but mostly her soul really ugly

[littlemissmartypants]

41. She has a soul? Damn. That's scary!

[Walleye]

44. Well you just made me visualize what the soul of empty would look like. In time for Halloween

[spike jones]

40. Horse face

[colorado_ufo]

53. What always stood out for me were her "man hands."

[mahina]

63. And then she speaks

[jmowreader]

61. Ah, come on. It won't be that drastic.

Just get her a mask that goes around her head instead of around her ears.

[FoxNewsSucks]

24. The rotten inner ugly really shines through on her.

It's all that can be seen. She's a putrid excuse for a human being.

[George II]

32. I've tweeted to her that people want her to wear a mask not for health reasons but another reason.

[Walleye]

34. Oh so true

[Walleye]

3. God I hate that we are paying her salary. And she's making a lot more than I ever did

[tblue37]

64. And since she isn't on any committees, she doesn't work. She just spends her time trolling.

[Sneederbunk]

5. What do you have a Sergeant at Arms for?

[Maraya1969]

7. They need to find something more hurtful than money. I just looked

up her net worth and said between 30-50 million because of a couple companies she and her husband own.

Yea, it pissed me off.

[StClone]

25. Wow I am not going to look that up

But feel free to post links to the fact these freaks are worth so much. Jeez, that explains a lot of her stupid wanton nuttiness.

[Maraya1969]

38. Is that a reliable source?

Looks like one of the many shady illicit websites presenting themselves as "news"

52. They need to put in 'community service'.

Make her serve some homeless downtown. Make her clean out a few ditches. Also, make the fine a sliding scale, and make sure that things go into the 'ten percent of income' range once someone has posted over one million dollars in income for that year. See if that has an effect.

[SheltieLover]

8. She should be fined & not admitted without a mask.

[TomSlick]

9. The fines are obviously not deterring her.

It's time to up the cost of disobedience.

[TheRickles]

29. Keep doubling the fine for each subsequent offence. That'll add up pretty quickly.

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. Fines accrue by 5,000 increases.

And are taken out of paycheck.
Dunno what happens when all of the paycheck is fined.....

[TheRickles]

67. My understanding that it stays at $5000 for each offense. The total adds up, for sure.

But not as quickly as if it were $5k today, then another $10k next time, then another $15k next time, etc. So her campaign coffers will be easily able to cover this.

[marble falls]

10. Surely there's a Democrat in her district that could at least cut into Greene voters ...

... but then there are people who've re-elected Louis Gohmert until he really thinks he's something more politically than GOP fundraiser speaker.

[SergeStorms]

30. Why yes, yes there is!

https://marcusforgeorgia.com/

I really, really like this guy. I think there are at least two Democrats trying to unseat Empty Greene. I hope it's Marcus Flowers. I'm a monthly donor and I'm all-in for Flowers!

[marble falls]

31. Someone else who desrves to be Congressman? I'll send him my little bit.

[SergeStorms]

39. This guy is the real deal.

Very well spoken, intelligent, a veteran, and someone who'd actually serve Greene's district instead of herself.

Like I said, I really, really like the guy. He's everything Greene isn't.

[Polybius]

48. Her district is among the Reddest in the country

It would be like a Republican winning DC Mayor, impossible. The best bet is that she loses the Republican Primary toa regular crazy Republican that's not Q.

[Corgigal]

11. Just serve her a trespassing warning,

and let her work at home via zoom. She serves no purpose at the capital right now.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. A protest 10% of the people will relate to and identify with.

Empty Greene indeed. But I bet it pays for her to be a designated asshole in Congress. She's one of many.....oddly, they seem to be all in the Republican Party.

Big Business likes to have a divided Congress and electorate.

[Traildogbob]

13. Do prisons require masks?

[bottomofthehill]

14. sucks, but Article 1 Section 6 US Constitution

Section 6: Rights and Disabilities of Members

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

[Bayard]

45. Breach of the Peace,

I would think she is guilty of that one.

[bottomofthehill]

46. This is a fine for mask wearing

I don’t know that any court would go with breech of peace.

[IronLionZion]

15. Masks kill jobs and violate hippo rights

[underpants]

42. LOL 😆 😁😆

Okay that does it for me today. A perfect ending of the day. Hilarious

[Beartracks]

16. People with martyr complexes gonna be martyrs. n/t

[Gore1FL]

17. She's going to need that money for a lawyer pretty soon, I would think. nt

[dchill]

19. Nah. Zuckybird's got her back. Plus there's always GoFundMe.

[CentralMass]

21. She can pay in rubles.

[dchill]

18. You know what? She's starting to piss me off!

[ffr]

20. Invoke the three-strikes you're out provision

Put her in handcuffs. End this nonsense!

[SoCalDavidS]

37. The Only Handcuffs She'll EVER Be Wearing Are In The Bedroom

Sorry for that image, but the thought she's really going to suffer consequences is pretty laughable. That's not how America works. Or rather, doesn't work.

[onenote]

50. Would violate the Constitution.

[RayStar]

23. No surprise

Take all of her maybe she'll follow the rules after that.

[George II]

33. Time to start removing them from the floor.

[monkeyman1]

36. time to remove them period !

[SoCalDavidS]

35. OUCH! That's Gonna Hurt

LOL.

[dchill]

43. Trick or treat, Marge!

[Initech]

47. If Facebook shit posting were a person, that would be Marjorie Greene.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

49. Pure trash.

[trusty elf]

51. How are you supposed to eat tasty pie with a mask on?!?

[truthisfreedom]

54. Numbskull.

[lees1975]

55. No mask, out the door for a month, no vote

[jmowreader]

56. I have a BETTER punishment for this individual

Instead of fining her, which obviously doesn’t work, write a handful of bills she would really hate. Every time she doesn’t wear a mask, kick her off the floor, seat her in the gallery and hold a floor vote on eight of them, one per hour.

[Boysterload]

57. Donate the money!

They should donate all the money collected to Planned Parenthood in Greene's name!

[Hassler]

58. Poor Margie Traitor Green

[Dem_in_Nebr.]

60. What happened to

?three strikes and you're out??"

[truthisfreedom]

65. it should double every time.

2500, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 80000, 160000...

[Brainfodder]

66. Demand she pay up before speaking again?
