Greene is a trash bag pretending to be human.

[-] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 48 points 4 months ago

That's not fair at all. Trash bags have a lot of utility.

[-] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

And they’re a lot more pleasing to the eye, relatively speaking.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Fair enough

[-] finthechat@kbin.social 18 points 4 months ago

She's a pretty shitty trash bag. Trash bags are supposed to keep the garbage in, not spill it all over the place.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 35 points 4 months ago

Daaaaamn. I read the exchanges, what an absolute cunt goblin. Greene and every R on that panel who didn't say shit to her, needs to get a swift kick in the mouth.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

“If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blond bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

We were all thinking it.

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

That is some masterclass alliteration.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I bet her fake eyelashes were just a fluttering.

They’re literally there to disturb government, drag things out and break things.

CSPAN is basically Reality TV at this point...

“Why don’t you debate me?” Greene asked.

“I think it’s pretty self-evident,” Ocasio-Cortez shot back.

“Yeah, you don’t have enough intelligence,” Greene responded, prompting uproar among Democrats.

Like the time she tried to remind the house to consider decorum like a week after she bleated like a donkey at Biden. Fucking dumb ass lady.

she tried to remind the house to consider decorum like a week after she bleated like a donkey

Was that before or after she entered revenge porn into the congressional record?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

Before, I believe. But I wouldn't put it past her to repeat both as many times as possible, thus the question becomes a time paradox and wouldn't you know it the universe implodes.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 4 months ago

Remember the time she yelled through a mail slot to an empty room pretending to abuse AOC.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

No, but I find that hilarious and on brand.

[-] somas@kbin.social 13 points 4 months ago

@return2ozma

Jesus, Greene just drags everyone and everything into the gutter.

[-] Raptor_007@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Christ. How do we even come back from this whole situation across the political landscape?

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

We don't.

Trump was nail in the coffin showing others there isn't actually consequence if you're connected enough.

Performative drama politics from here on out. All decorum out the fucking window.

People like Greene are such dullard plants for distraction. But maybe it's scarier that many Americans identify with this type of bullying.

[-] Dmw009013@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Probably wait till the first triumvirate devolves into civil war then a second triumvirate and another civil war thus giving us Princeps Octavian. So about 45 years from now

[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Greene is a really piece of shit… as in she’s the unusable, indigestible parts of society’s body.

Man, I remember Idiocracy having higher production value... Wasn't there monster trucks and stuff? The dialog is pretty much as I remember, though.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Also Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho!

[-] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Right? Where is he? He would have cleaned that place right up!

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Yep. The Dilldozer and the Ass Blaster.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 4 months ago

Congress in idiocracy had the intelligence to put differences aside to agree on the best outcome for everyone....

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago

I've heard more elevated discourse on elementary school playgrounds
