Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday dubbed the House Freedom Caucus the “burn-it-all-down caucus,” a swipe at the conservative group that ousted her from its ranks over the summer.

“I’m not a member of the burn-it-all-down caucus anymore,” Greene told reporters. “I’m a greatly, very happily a free agent and I want to do my job here.”

Members of the caucus voted to boot Greene from their ranks over the summer after the Georgia Republican supported the debt limit bill that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and President Biden crafted to avoid a default, which drew ire from many in the right flank — some of whom are members of the caucus.

    Is there a single more stupid bitch?

    Genuinely, I want to know, because I don’t think there is

      Maybe tied with Boebert?

        I genuinely did not realize this wasn’t boebert… Apparently it’s easy to conflate the amount of stupid going on…

          Right, this is the one who got into an argument with Boebert about which of them got to file impeachment charges. And, somehow, both of them got reelected after their first term where they were… them.

          Well. yes. Yes it is. I have to constantly ask myself “which one is this again”… and then I find myself asking, why do I even care. They’re both idiots. they’re both annoying, and they’re both both a symptom and a cause…

        It’s always disappointing to see people who think themselves reasonable delighting in the usage of slurs when given the opportunity to tear down someone they perceive as disliked by their community. It is much more damning to them than the object of their ire.

        Greene is a symptom of the cancer metastasized on our civilization, but deploying gendered slurs against her is counterproductive and pitiful.

            Pointless ones. She looks like a normal person. That she’s got an infection of fascist brain worms is something you can call out directly.

              I don’t know… she looks like she has crazy eyes to me. I don’t think that’s sexist. I can think of plenty of crazy men with the similar look in their eyes.

                There’s a pretty big difference between saying someone has crazy eyes and the kind of attacks she draws regularly in center/left circles.

          1: Bitch isn’t a slur any more than dick is. That’s just an objectively false statement.

          2: If someone is being a bitch, I’m going to call them a bitch - regardless of gender

          Or would you prefer “cunt”?

            Unfortunately for you, you are not the authority on what is and isn’t a slur.

            It has been used as a “term of contempt towards women” for “over six centuries”, and is a slur that fosters sexism against women. It has been characterized as “an archaic word demeaning women since as early as the 15th century” that seeks to control women.

        Calling someone a bitch is no different than calling someone a dick or an asshole - and is not strictly tied to any gender. I’ll call anyone a bitch if they’re acting like one.

        It would be different if I was casually referring to her as a bitch, like “I was talking to this one bitch” or something, but that’s not the case.

          It depends on context. In this case it obviously is. If I were to say bitch please in a sassy way, it probably isn’t.

          I wouldn’t call her a “bitch”, but I would not disagree with the statement that she could be grouped in same category and class as Kyle’s Mom from South Park from the perspective of Eric Cartman

      She knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s telling the stupid and hateful exactly what they want to hear, and she’s getting all that fantastic attention she craves.
