Another opportunity for House Republicans to demonstrate their cowardice, opportunism, and fascist tendencies…

Expel this GQP monster to the Qnut hinter lands which she came from.

What was the offending tweet?

Which is why today the 73 House Democrats are launching an effort to expel Greene from Congress.
Aren’t there more Democrats than that in the House? By quite a bit?

All of them, that’s the answer.

That’s just the number of co-sponsors for the resolution, not the number of Democrats likely to support it. Most acts of Congress have considerably fewer co-sponsors.
Similarly, the recent Senate bill for Covid Relief had seven co-sponsors even though it was wildly popular and Democrats control 50 Senate seats. It’s not the kind of thing everyone usually signs their name to.

I predict zero republican votes for expulsion. But I suppose it’s good to have it on record.

The only way the Cult of Trump might vote to expel her is if she has been led out of the Capitol in handcuffs, escorted by a couple of FBI agents, and then convicted of aiding and abetting the insurrection, sedition against the United States of America, or even accessory to the murder of Brian Sicknick.
That might be enough.

Won’t happen. It’d just confirm their “deep state” theories.
Plus, she can’t be arrested while congress is in session.

I have two kids. When they say something stupid, offensive, or at-odds with reality, I tell them to STFU and go to your room.
After they are done with their tantrum, I sit down and explain to them why they were wrong, and how much it can hurt other people. I make them try to justify their statements, and when they can’t, I hope it opens some mental doors for them.
Then we sit down over dessert and play some mentally challenging board games while discussing the topic which drives the point home. Get those synapses firing!
I’m guessing that Ms. Greene never had anyone like that in her life, which is sad because her mental state has already calcified into lickspittle territory so chances of redemption are bleak.

Meanwhile, the House Republican Gimp is unhappy:
“If you can boot our people off committees for inciting terrorism and violence, we should be able to boot people off because of nonsense we invented for fundraising!”

I’ll admit I’m curious, in the same way I stop to look at roadkill sometimes when I’m out running.
I think the tweet may be so offensive that the media is making a point to not report it, so as to avoid spreading it more.

Booting Trump from Twitter has had remarkably beneficial results.

Does it even matter? She already breaks TOS with her covid disinfo and election lies.
Twitter should have kicked her off permanently for actively trying to get people killed doing that kind if shit.
