WTF who invited Cruella de Vil to Congress?
The rational people of Georgia, of course!
This post has about as much context as a map drawn by a blindfolded pirate. What is this all about?
Well, 10 Democrats voted to censure another Democrat as noted in the image. The underlying context is that Greene was heckling Der Furher when he was having a spell of verbal diarrhea when speaking in the fascist Empire council chamber.
The 10 Democrats that voted with the Republicans to censure congressman Green.

Cheers! I work in tech and don’t know many US politicians so I read that as “A.I. Green” 🤖🟩
If it makes you feel better, he did sing to protest his censure.
For Americans it has all the context, it’s pretty crystal clear
I called my representative and I was polite. “Hello, I just want to say that as a WA state resident, I am very disappointed by my representative licking Donald Trump’s boots by voting to censure Al Green. Thank you and goodbye.”
Did you have to talk to someone or did you just leave a message?
Somebody answered, I said my piece, then I hung up. I was not interested in having a conversation about it.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but censures mean fuckall, right? It’s basically saying “you were naughty and I’m doing nothing about it”?
It’s mostly symbolic. But the last thing we need is democrats scoring own goals, and stopping actual action against tyranny
I agree. Just making sure it was just some weird optics things and not an actual way to quiet him.
If he was given extra responsibilities like being in some committee he could lose those, but in this case i don’t think that’s a concern.
This is a shit post now ?
Call all the Republicans, too.
I mean you can, but they’re going to outright ignore you.
Nah I’m gonna tell them they best start looking for another job.
Can you fuck off with your shitty third world politics from literally every community?
There is a case to be made for not joining the race to the bottom. But likely these people constituents would be in favor of them voting this way. And in the end, that is who they are supposed to represent.
We’re pretty damn near the bottom, bud. We need active resistance not polite words.
I think an awful lot of people around the world would argue we are nowhere near the bottom.
Attempting to grow a fascist dictatorship, with some success and even support, sure feels near the bottom of government dysfunction to me. But part of what makes all this so maddening is the difficulty in accurately assessing the situation. I acknowledge that in 4 years I may feel that my worries today were overblown, and I sure hope so!
