MTG comes from a poor district.

Loss of health insurance will kill many of her voters.

Covid killed them as well...and yet she's still there.

COVID had a quasi-religous significance to MAGA and is sui generis, until the next plague hits.

Losing your health care is something much more comprehensible. Even MAGA might understand the cause and effect.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also called out the AIPAC Republicans who enjoyed a free, all-expenses paid vacation to Israel, the US-subsidized genocide in Gaza, and AIPAC as an illegal, unregistered foreign lobby: x.com; ca.news.yahoo.com; www.yahoo.com.

The problem for Dummkopf Trumpf and the GOP is that not all of their acolytes are Islamophobes who worship the Israeli Death Forces (IDF), like MTG, US Army Colonel Col. Nathan McCormack, or Tucker Carlson.

Dying of COVID was a kind of sacrament to MAGA.

MTG being seen as reasonable really shows how insane the Trump administration really is.

"Covid killed them"

They see that as a win. Because they died free, not living in the prison of having to wear a mask.

We have to subsidize this disaster so nobody ever figures out it's a disaster!

Now the mask fascists are mad because people they don't want to wear masks are wearing them.

Only fascists support the Secret Police.

Not that they're upset to be called fascists.

Things began getting weird when Roarin' Orrin Hatch was the more moderate voice.

Worth a repeat.

Everybody's got to be covered.

We're going to have great plans. They're going to be much less expensive and they're going to be much better.

You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost, and it is going to be so easy.

Nov 13, 2016
It will be better healthcare, much better for less money. Not a bad combination.

Pres Trump on healthcare:

Then there this:

"Bad Bunny says America has four months to learn Spanish before his perverse unwanted performance at the Super Bowl halftime. It would be a good time to pass my bill to make English the official language of America."

It's important to point out that this only became an issue for her when her childrens premiums are set to double.
