    “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” she said.

    But the current President is one of those rich powerful men raping the trafficked. What did she expect would happen?

    I don’t think even she is so stupid that she is just now realizing that the Republican Party is…full of Republicans.

      In fairness, we would all do it this way. Would you stop a week short? Fuck no, I worked for that.

      I don’t like her and I don’t like nearly everything she’s done, but this is the most honest way people in congress make their money. I’d be more angry about most of the other ways.

        She’s also worth 21 million dollars now, when she entered congress she was worth less than half a million. Her stock trading game has rivaled Nancy Pelosi’s since she entered office. This should be the bigger scandal. It’s not because it bipartisan.

        Honestly, —assuming there’s no fuckery here, which in fairness is a bold assumption— I kind of respect the resignation. She fucked us, got her bag, and fucked off. That’s far better than her becoming a fixture of Washington for the next 50 years.

    I can’t tell if her grift got bigger, or if she realized the people serving her kool-aid aren’t drinking it.

    Probably both.

    For anyone trying to figure out what the angle is, MTG is trying to become the face of the American TERF movement. She’s going to milk that for years (if it catches on). Expect a book about the horrors she endured as a brave woman in the Magasphere.

      I don’t know if right-wing radical feminism in America is necessarily going to be trans-exclusive. Transmedicalist if it isn’t, for sure, but there are plenty of right wing grifters who also happen to be trans women.

      The mainstream facist right already have transphobia cornered as a brand, so being trans-inclusive might be key to turning some discontent into a real political movement.

    Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen?

    I wish this vile woman would take a long tour of the Acme anvil factory on floor cleaning day.

    Really funny watching this “American clown reality TV show”. I just wish it didn’t affect the rest of the world.

    In recent months, the GOP Congresswoman has publicly broken with her party over the war in Gaza, health care subsidies, and the handling of the Epstein Files.

    What exactly led her to choose the Republican party?
