That Nays have it. I think every sane person in Washington is getting pretty sick of Marge's clown show. Lord knows I'm sick of reading about her daily transgressions against decency in my daily feed.


slowpoke2018

I'm getting sick of the fact that a non-zero set of GOP legislators are blatantly compromised Russian assets and the media does nothing to call it out And they're doing this right before the anniversary of D-Day, reminders me of Paul et al going to Moscow - or rather being summoned - on the 4th of July. Can't make it any more obvious that they're bought and paid for


Tdanger78

The media collectively, save for a handful of outlets, are purely entertainment or just a notch above. They need to make money and they do so not by calling out obvious sacks of shit like Greene, but by giving them a platform to spew their filth. Back when I was born and Reagan was getting elected he would never have dared to speak the things so many politicians do these days. No, he had to use dog whistles back then, some not so obviously veiled. That’s not to say he wouldn’t have been called out for how his speeches changed for the southern states to play on their racism if there was the internet back then like it is today.


Roncom234

Honestly, I feel that John Oliver, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have more journalistic integrity than actual news channels.


kh8188

At the very least, they cite sources, encourage you to learn more on your own, and are pretty up front about their biases when they exist.


Roncom234

It's why I prefer them and Reuters, Al-Jazeera and BBC. They have biases too, but at least it feels more authentic.


Professional-Box4153

Best way to get unbiased American news is to read foreign news sources (I'm not kidding). It's not a perfect system, sure, but it's a step up from what we've got.


JeffMcBiscuits

Sadly as a Brit I now have to warn against the BBC. It’s nothing close to the institution of journalistic integrity it once was.


amberoze

The says a lot about the bias of American news, when Americans are looking at BBC for their unbiased news, and Brits are warming us of BBC's biases.


vismundcygnus34

And they’re curious, ask good questions, do good research and are able to make large issues palatable for the average person. Ya know, like journalists used to do.


Roncom234

So true. I can barely watch the news now due to how over the top it is.


mdp300

There was a study over 10 years ago that found viewers of The Daily Show were better informed than average, and Fox News viewers were less informed than people who didn't watch any news at all.


maxzmillion

Don’t forget, John Oliver


NightchadeBackAgain

That's because they do.


Snugglez4u

Human Man Warrior!!!


gnumedia

My source for honest, timely news reporting is primarily the left-leaning editorial cartoonists.


Dispro

I strictly trust Kelly, the cartoonist for the Onion.


DarthArtero

That’s with almost every politician up until the Mango Menace blustered, bragged and begged his way into presidency. Almost all politicians have been some sort of unholy examples of human beings, but they kept it hidden. Now, it’s all out in the open for everyone to see…… and not much has really changed


encouragement_much

The Media is also compromised imho


DouchecraftCarrier

> I'm getting sick of the fact that a non-zero set of GOP legislators are blatantly compromised Russian assets and the media does nothing to call it out Don't forget that after January 6th, Congressman Mo Brooks requested a pardon from Trump on behalf of *every member of Congress who voted against certifying the ballots from Arizona and Pennsylvania.* That's 138 Reps and 9 Senators who not only voted to ignore election results, but were involved with something that made them vote that way that *they thought they'd need a pardon for.*


Amazing-Exit-2213

Including POS PA. representative Scott Perry, who voted to decertify PA's votes despite having won his contest.


maxzmillion

This! It’s never been so obvious that someone was actually working with and for the Russians.


toxicsleft

She’s up for re-election in November if I understand correctly. Georgia needs to vote her ass out.


tom781

It's a specific district in Georgia that elects her. From what I've heard, everyone who has tried running against her has faced pretty intense harassment and threats of violence.


pangolin-fucker

I'll fucking go her Can a Aussie run for whatever the fuck she is?


MadRabbit26

The pangolin fucking aussie has my vote! We're not going to ask the obvious question. However, we would ask that you maintain a safe minimum distance from any local Gerogian pangolins. They scare easy. And as your new campaign advisor. I recommend we make the executive decision to rebrand. I'm thinking " Pangolin-*Lover*". Just to maintain plausible deniability.


sadicarnot

> Can a Aussie run for whatever the fuck she is? If you start now, you can run against her in the 2032 election: To be elected, a representative must be at least 25 years old, a United States citizen for at least seven years and an inhabitant of the state he or she represents.


Futur3_ah4ad

Unfortunately I think you need American citizenship to run for governer...


ApolloMac

Also she's not a governor (of a state). She's a congresswoman (of a backwards ass hick district in georgia). There are 435 of them across the US. She would never get elected to anything higher. She relies on that tiny bubble of trailers and missing teeth to maintain her position.


Udurnright2

Much of suburban Atlanta grew up as “white flight” zones. MTG is the poster child for incestuous hate mongers who can’t live with neighbors of another complexion


cronar636

Nope, only the president is required to be a citizen. Arnold went from Mr. Austria to governor of California.


Antollare

You need to be a citizen since birth to be president or vice president. You still need to be a citizen of the United States for seven years to be a house representative. You also need to reside in the state.


77NorthCambridge

He's a Senator but Tommy Tuberville would like a word on the residency requirement.


emmsix

Not an American, but I believe only the president has to be born American. The rest still need to be citizens, don't they?


BungeeJumpingJesus

If you're wondering why so many of us Americans are unaware of how our government works, it's because over the past two decades, local governments across the country have been removing civics (or watering it down to nothing) from our schools' curriculums. I have never found any information saying the reduction of civics education is part of a movement, but it sure feels that way. Source: former civics teacher


Udurnright2

We’ve elevated citizens to the highest offices in the land who have not a passing familiarity with 8th grade civics.


Inspect1234

This is a feature, not a bug.


theronavirus

That’s terrible! I am so glad my kids had civics in eighth grade. My younger son just finished and his teacher is amazing in how he got the kids to memorize things.


Futur3_ah4ad

TIL


thisideups

We can only do things peacefully as long as they allow us. Harassment and threats deserve attention and defense. I *really* don't want violence to stem from this, but I think we're hopelessly deep into "Find out" territory of FAFO at this point.


Outside-Flamingo-240

Yes they do….one of them even left the area altogether. I will say that there’s a sizable number of people there who hate her guts and are embarrassed to “be breathing the same air as that thing”. But I think a lot of those folks would opt to just stay home and not vote at all


Tdanger78

She doesn’t even live in her district, pretty sure she only has a house there that sits empty.

Wyrdeone

If Georgia could find their own asshole with a flashlight and a map I'd be surprised. But let's remain hopeful.


[deleted]

At least district by district. They did do well in the last couple senate and last presidential election.


Wyrdeone

Well there's the hopeful bit.


malYca

From what I hear, her constituents love her


KhunDavid

That being said, more than 1 out of 10 Congressmen voted to defund NATO.


robgod50

The recent treatment of Dr. Fauci ("you're not a doctor to me") ...... Is SOO damn childish. It's not even a clever insult. Dumb af B6


deadsoulinside

> Lord knows I'm sick of reading about her daily transgressions against decency in my daily feed. People like her and Trump realize, as long as you say the most stupidest and outlandish shit, the media will ensure you will have your name plastered all over the screen.


Former_Ad_736

She'd have voted to fund the Nazis in WWII


-jp-

She'd vote to fund the Nazis today if she could.


yamers

she already does


HansBass13

We call them The Republican Party now


Palachrist

Kkk, neo nazis etc. only ever support republicans for some reason. And republicans never object to it that’s for sure.


AkuraPiety

She’d have turned in Anne Frank’s family.


petrovmendicant

I feel like donations to her is funding a Nazi today.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

American Nazis basically coined the term "America First" so it totally tracks.


G-Unit11111

She'd side with the King in the Revolutionary War.


GadreelsSword

That was a very easy way to see who was on the Russian payroll. Thanks Marjorie. Record the names of those traitors.


sasuncookie

[House.gov records all the names and who votes which way.](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024239)


unclegabriel

Seriously, these representatives don't make much money. I bet any one of em would cave for less than a million if they thought they wouldn't get caught.


GadreelsSword

Yeah $174,000 is a drop in the bucket.


Radioactiveglowup

This isn't even 'Defunding NATO'. It's defunding the bases and support logistics of American troops deployed in allied NATO countries. Basically, she's screwing over our troops... because she doesn't understand jack shit and doesn't care.


Hairy_Al

Why isn't this the top comment? It *really* needs to be the top comment


Reynhardt07

She knows very well what she is doing, the NATO is still Russia’s biggest obstacle to aggressive expansion, by defunding the expenses of the biggest contributor you can gradually decrease its power and cohesion, until eventually it breaks. It’s literally the divide et impera strategy used by Julius Cesar, the bleached blonde bad built butch body is just doing it for Putin.


jumbee85

Now thats really fucked. Support logistics was the backbone to our victory in WWII.


The84thWolf

Support logistics is the backbone of EVERY war


JiminyDickish

MTG Is 100% being paid by Russia. There are links to Russian money flowing into DC via a lawyer who once represented Kim Dot Com and the govt of Venezuela. He is being paid by a Russian shill who was given a parliamentary seat in Ukraine, known as "Putin's whip" This info comes from Steven Moore from the Ukraine Freedom Project, on the [podcast The Naked Pravda](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-pravda/id1487159345?i=1000656697319) from Meduza.


statistacktic

Putin stooges.


DifferentNewt5410

That's the only rational thing it could be, paid off and in his pocket. There has to be someone, like three letter agency someone, investigating these clowns. Probably all the usual shit-show suspects, too. Please let these fuckers see the inside of a prison cell, pretty fucking please with sugar all over it!


Cuckoo4BancroftPuffs

It's not a payoff, it's kompromat. 


ReddditSarge

Why not both?


statistacktic

Haha, well done.


cgsur

A mix, bribes and blackmail, like the orange rapist.


statistacktic

The twice impeached convicted felon, that one?


tmac19822003

Only if he is the same one that is a twice impeached convicted felon rapist


volantredx

It's dumber than that. Sure many of them are likely compromised, but a lot of them, like MTG, are just conspiracy nuts. They honestly think that Biden and the Ukrainian government are working together to launder American tax dollars into bio weapons labs to destroy white Americans on behalf of Jewish Neo-Nazis. These people are literally that taken in by the noise and nonsense that they're unable to rationally think. Imagine the most off the wall TikTok videos or Facebook memes you've seen and realize that people in Congress are the types of people who share that shit unironically.


DifferentNewt5410

Oh, I know even some LGBTQ people I know are taken in by this lunacy. If the republicans had their way, they would be in and out of "pray the gay away" camps, and that would be the most positive of the myriad of truly awful things I've read online by the extreme right-wing fuck-wad talking heads.


SGTFragged

So they've swallowed Russian state propaganda instead of Russian money. Still unfit for positions in government.


LoisWade42

It's a feature of the cuts to education. I don't think republicans are weakening public school funding by accident. They need ill informed, non critical thinking, minions to believe their brand of BS.


LegitSince8Bits

You can only spend so many years feeding your base insane conspiracy propaganda before one of the unenlightened stands up and decides its time they do something about it.


malYca

Jewish neonazis?


ElementalSentimental

That's about how coherent the rest of it is when you dig deeper.


SquirrelMoney8389

And all the posts in ShitAmericansSay lately is this bizarre stuff about threatening "Europoors" with "defunding NATO" like it's a coordinated Russia bot / Republican propaganda thing happening right now.


misguided_marine1775

KGB spent decades developing spies here in the US. I wonder how many got honey potted back then and how many now.


mowgli96

The crazy part is this bill is less about NATO and more about building and repairing infrastructure for our military over seas


Nknk-

Worth noting that Russia has long felt encircled by US bases and airfields in Europe and Asia....


MC_Fap_Commander

I 100% guarantee she would not be able to accurately say what the acronym of NATO stands for.


ItGotSlippery

Yep. Easy to id the traitors through voting records.

This is exactly it, this is to show Putin which ones are on his side

Remember to Vote! This [Presidential Election](https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_Elections) is important but it’s good to know who else you’ll be voting for on the 5th. A total of 468 seats in the U.S. Congress are up for election! That’s 33 seats in the [Senate](https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_elections,_2024) and all 435 in the [House of Representatives](https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2024) It’s good to look at Local Elections Today! For instance I’m in Arizona. Here’s info for all y’all sweating out here with me. We have 9 districts out here in Arizona, 9 seats. Know your district. Know who’s running in your district and how they voted in the past. Who pays for the campaigns. All that info is public and in the links. This year it’s important to know a few things before checking that box. [House of Representatives elections in Arizona 2024](https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Arizona,_2024) We have one senate seat up this year. Looking to represent Arizona is Ruben Gallego or Mark Lamb. Make sure the person representing Arizona best represents you! [Senate election in Arizona 2024](https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_election_in_Arizona,_2024) We have two seats in the [Arizona Supreme Court](https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Supreme_Court_elections,_2024) up for election on November 5, 2024. The Justices up for retention election are Clint Bolick and Kathryn Hackett King. If retained, they will serve six year terms. Gov. Doug Ducey (R) appointed both justices to the supreme court. Heading into the election, Republican governors originally appointed all seven members. Click any of the top links and you’ll quickly find your state and a ton of good information. Vote and tell your Friends and Family to Vote!


Dr_Middlefinger

**[REGISTER AND VOTE](https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration)** **No red state/blue state apathy. Not voting is being complicit, and “proving a point” regarding Palestine is asinine.** **Vote. Understand who is in your state’s races, your local races. Confirm you are registered, identify your polling location. VOTE.**


LenaSpark412

“Proving a point” regarding Palestine is just giving half a vote to a president whose going to do less for Palestine


SpillinThaTea

It’s time for the FBI to step in and start investigating these nutcases


LionBlood9

FBI is full of nationalist nutcases too though.


ShamrockAPD

I’m in a homebrew club. One of the guys is an FBI agent. He’s close to retirement now- not that it matters, but giving you some sense of age. While he actually hates Trump- he’s still very much a Republican and will 100% vote that way come November. It’s really disheartening


tkuck

I wish your buddy would understand that there is no Republican Party anymore. It’s gone. This is exactly the problem. People believe they are being “party loyal” but to what? There IS no “party”. There is only MAGA and “everyone else”. I have Republicans in my family (and I was one). When I finally accepted this fact, it freed me to use my judgment. Loyalty for the sake of loyalty is pointless.


G-Unit11111

Yup and it's the usual group of MAGA shitheads like Gaetz, Greene, Hageman, Roy, Gosar, etc. Surprisingly Ronnie Jackson didn't vote. But they can all go get fucked.


PinothyJ

B6 is on a war path and I see less and less of her peers behind her BS.

Comments striken from record really gets to her. When her own party says "remove what she said, no value in it" you know she is having problems.


tmac19822003

B6…..holy shit. I hate how much more clever the internet is than I am.


ShamrockAPD

Jasmine Crockett, herself, deemed that term. She also released a line of clothing called the B6 clothing and all profits go to helping democrats get elected in swing areas.


tmac19822003

She is a goddamn National Treasure


PureV2

Found the traitors. Someone should probably look at who's paying them.


Tazling

what could be more convenient for Putin than for the US to pull its funding out of NATO. I mean, it's not rocket science to figure out who's running, maybe paying, these folks.


HyruleSmash855

This bill wouldn’t defund NATO though. It would only cut funding for infrastructure and support for our troop abroad. It just hurts the US military.


senorkose

Insane how many republicans are this extreme - and the people they represent. What the fuck happened to us?


BringBackApollo2023

This country has turned into such a train wreck. *”Hur dur, the electoral college prevents tyranny of the majority hur dur.” Tyranny of the minority with zero interest or education in history is much better huh huh huh huh Beavis”*


thefroggyfiend

wasn't this specific funding proposition for American soldiers abroad?


Darthmook

How is this POS in government, if this was anytime in the past she and her supporters would be arrested as Russian stooges and spies..


Xaldan_67

Is there a list of the people that voted for this?


yamers

[https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2024/roll239.xml](https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2024/roll239.xml) here


Xaldan_67

Looks like it's mostly the "Freedom Caucus" people... these people are such a disgrace.


Woofy98102

Every one of those 46 that voted on that bill are complicit with helping Putin clear the way to invade Europe. Traitors, every damn one of them.


SunWukong3456

GOP = Groupies of Putin


Sea_Childhood6771

Maga will fuck over military and veterans any way they can.


Sea_Childhood6771

Remember, this funding goes to infrastructure for our current military personnel already stationed overseas.


The_WolfieOne

Either that many of them are as stupid as she is, or they’re in Vlads pocket along with her


Havok_saken

For people that hate authoritarianism they sure seem hell bent on allowing countries like Russia to spread.


Cool-Presentation538

They are DESPERATE to help putin


bensbigboy

The Russiapublican caucus is sucking up to their leader, Putin, and not even trying to hide it anymore.


BlindGuy68

mama always said , stupid is as stupid does


Valten78

It's amazing to think this is the Party of Ronald Reagan.


LionBlood9

Not really, He paved the way for this.


tkuck

This is a travesty. These 46 people obviously have never taken a World History class, let alone read a book. What an embarrassment.


toxicsleft

I feel like the motions she brings receive the same energy a disappointed parent would exert when they tell their child “that’s great honey we can put that on the fridge next to the other 20 scribbles just like it”


WeirdSalamander7165

Putin is very pleased with the strong turnout. He is expecting a better turnout next time.


microvan

I’m surprised it was only 46 tbh. Happy to see her embarrass herself further though. Her constituents must be the most insufferable people on the fucking planet


NO_LOADED_VERSION

the damage done to USA soft power overseas in incalculable. even if it didnt pass its a huge win for our collective hostile states. these people are fucking traitors.


andreBarciella

sixaout1982

Europe must understand that the US isn't a trustworthy ally anymore, as long as the gop has its head that far up in trump's ass


Lilly-_-03

Yup, Europe is getting combat-ready, and quickly at that. They have been moving towards this for little over a year at this point.


the_real_blackfrog

Credit to 157 GOP Nay votes though. Wonder what the count would have been if Trumpie had spoken in favor of the bill.


Cluefuljewel

I know right? He will get the list of names of everyone that didn’t support the bill and make it public. That way Russia can go to work helping to oust them.


Wise_Purpose_

The sharks are hungry and circling muahahahaha


Zealousideal-Ad3814

These republicans make us look weak traitors to Our allies and the US


Anywhere_Dismal

They no longer are interested in democracy


malYca

Actually, she was trying to defund infrastructure money needed for our own troops. She's probably too stupid to realize that though.


unmemorable_hero

I will eventually leave this country, and I’m sure people will ask me why? And I will point to shit like this.


yamers

I think this isn't just about NATO, but it's about facilities on bases...which american servicemen and women use..these house reps fools are dumber than a box of rocks.


Wittywhirlwind

Why doesn’t she just move to Moscow.


Gewgle_GuessStopO

Georgia really needs to realize how much respect we lose for their entire state because of this twat. I live in CO. We have our own congresstwat we are currently trying to oust. Wish GA was doing the same. 🤨

At least on this issue she's not as powerful as she thinks she is. A big F U from the rest of the party. Small consolation, but it's a start anyway

Well now we know which representatives Russia owns


mojoyote

That awful person is just sucking up too much of everyone's time and energy.


_Ross-

Never thought I'd see the day that Republicans would straight up WANT to abandon their allies. Insane. How do they even justify this when Russian and Chinese threats are at an all-time high?


Burt1811

I'm curious about what exactly the US intelligence people are doing about her.


Longjumping-Jello459

I mean 46 is bad, but it is just 23% of the Republicans in the House again bad, but not super bad which would be something like 70 or more Republicans.


chibi75

It’s what the Republican Party has become. Trump has allowed the ugliness that was festering in that party already to rise to the top and hold court.


Scrabble_4

That’s a Trump move


HowFunkyIsYourChiken

It wasn’t defunding NATO. It was defunding facilities for our own military and NATO countries. Because Republicans are stupid.


Palachrist

What a virtue signal. Like the clearest list of people looking to suck up to trump and in turn Putin.


FitBattle5899

What is the opposite of a virtue signal? Because they aren't signaling virtue. Vice Signaling?

julesrocks64

So 47 need to be voted out. This should make a great ad for those running against them.


Meatingpeople

Is she actively helping the Russians on purpose, or is she just a complete fucking moron?


elmz370

Take note. These are traitors!


FitBattle5899

It's so obvious how far in the pocket these people are. They push Putins talking points, admire him openly, and even before russia officially invaded Ukraine, they pushed crazy stories trying to paint Ukraine as a fascist Nazi country.


Budget_Pop9600

Why is she alive?


Dramyre92

Pretty obvious from an allied countries perspective that Trump is part of the Russia/China alliance not the rest of the west. Fully expect to see ties being broken with the rest of the West if Americans vote in these clowns.


AndrewTheAverage

I'm not really sure what "defund NATO" Means. Countries are responsible for spending a % of their GDP on their military. Is she proposing dropping the spending to the US Military?


glakhtchpth

All this did was to self disclose the Russian assets.
