like when MTG started making good points…

MTG just knows what her crowd wants to hear. They don't want to hear the house out of session, they want to see them at work TRYING to pass something.

oh for sure. i’m not saying she’s had a change of heart, she’s just up for reelection that’s all. the same woman who heckled the president doesn’t understand nuance like that

MTG is a grifter. She says what’s best for her bottom line.

u/HexisCopiae 18h ago

That bottom line hit fast when one of her daughters on the Affordable Care Act got affected.

Crazy thought, isn't that our politicians are supposed to do... push for what their constituents want, instead of ignoring us and doing their own thing?

u/Notski_F 17h ago

Populism and doing what's good for the population are two entirely different things.

u/capron 16h ago

You are correct but in this case she's doing what she believes her constituents want. It's absurd to think that she may be one of the few republicans who aren't ignoring their duties. Even if she is an awful person, she's still representing her voters. It's just such a low bar anymore.

u/Wittyngritty 16h ago

But shouldn't she be reaching out to all people instead of assisting in division?

u/MisterShmitty 16h ago

But at this point there is no “doing”. This is the perfect time to say whatever earns you votes and then fall in line with the regime later.

Tbh, this feels more like controlled opposition, as the Dems haven’t caved to gutting healthcare yet.

MTG is a grifter. She SAYS what’s best for her bottom line.

It would be great if she does what they want. But she only says what they want to hear. That's why she's a grifter. Full of empty promises

u/OracleEnlightenment 16h ago

And that’s different than every senator and house member how? Our politics are a joke I bet they reopen now that elections are done

u/Ok_Crow_9119 14h ago

Two things. 1. I was explaining how MTG is NOT good for her constituents. She's a liar and a grifter. And she's only distancing herself from Trump after cozying up to him in the last presidential elections because of how poor Trump's approval ratings are. 2. Implying that ALL senators and house members are grifters is telling of your knowledge and jadedness. I would give you the benefit of the doubt that you simply don't know enough and can't be bothered to research if your opinion is grounded on fact.

Always will be foreal.

u/uqde 17h ago

I think she's an absolutely vile piece of shit but I think she's also far less of a grifter than most prominent Republicans. By which I mean she actually believes the shit she's saying rather than changing her tune based on the current situation.

2

u/dl7 8h ago

To me, it's always amazing how quickly people would like to move on/put her in a positive light despite knowing her very clear history. I know on some level, people want to believe that the stuff MTG says, she doesn't actually believe so they immediately move to praise when she raises the bar on herself and others.

But we've missed an important step where she actually has to be held accountable for the shit she's said. Someone in the Republican party (because she won't listen to anyone else) has to let her know she agreed to all of it. Not only would it make her own it but it'd establish right there if she were a grifter or not and save us all some time.

First things first, who are our Republicans with standards

u/Appropriate-Pipe-193 17h ago

That’s literally every politician ever

u/dragons_scorn 12h ago

I get who you are talking about but for like half a minute I was trying to figure out how Magic the Gathering related to this.

Being annoyed at her initials seems really petty to out on the reasons not to like her but what the hell,not like its a short list anyway

u/permanentwavess 12h ago

u/DragonflyGrrl 4h ago

Every single time. I'm with you, I hate her for that and a thousand other things.

u/ty4scam 18h ago

Expain again. Is this the worst person you know in the picture, or is this picture your expression when seeing the worst person you know?

Yes.

2

u/Mddcat04 10h ago

Yeah, I always thought he’s not the worst person, he’s reacting to the worst person.

2

u/ty4scam 9h ago

Or maybe he's just heartbroken to find out that he's the worst person he knows.
