Next she'll found the House Freedomer Caucus, supporting even more freedom than the regular Freedom Caucus.

And she'll be the only member and somehow get voted out of that a few months down the line.

Reg : Listen, the only people we hate more than the Democrats are the fucking House Freedom Caucus.

Judith , Stan , Francis : [Murmurs of agreement and "splitters"]

Francis : And the Freedom Caucus of the House.

Reg , Judith , Stan : [More enthusiastic agreements]

Stan : And the House Caucus of Freedom!

Reg : [Agreements stop suddenly] What?

Stan : The House Caucus of Freedom, splitters!

Reg : We're the House Caucus of Freedom!

Stan : Oh! I thought we were the Caucus for Freedom.

Reg : Of Freedom!

Francis : Whatever happened to the Caucus for Freedom, eh?

Reg : [Indicating a man sitting by himself] He's over there.

Reg , Judith , Stan , Francis : [Beat] Splitter!

Calling Boebart a bitch wasn't the reason at all, it was the excuse to shun her for being disloyal. She backed McCarthy as speaker and she backed the debt limit bill.

You can't go against the group when you're in a conservative group.

So what does that actually mean? Nothing? Seems like this is just a high school clique saying that Maggie can't sit at their table anymore. Wake me when she can't go to prom....

I agree with you 100% that it's a sad thing going through these areas and seeing the state of things. However I do not think that they shouldn't be able to vote, they are citizens of this country just like you an I are. Even though I vehemently disagree with their opinions and choices of representation, I don't see any good coming from restricting a citizen's right to vote. It has a similar energy to when the fascists have been suggesting raising the voting age to 25, and I'm not for any of it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not defending any of their belief systems or culture war bs, but just like you and I have a voice, they should too (unless its hate speech or threats, then foh with that)

I like to think of it this way; I believe in universal suffrage, but I sure wish some wouldn’t exercise it (at least, not the way they do…).

MTG may have made the difference in the US agreeing to pay the deficit interest on their bills. I am waiting for their (FC) next attack on children in school to be over rainbow colors in boxes of crayons.

Too dangerous when one of them actually believes the bullshit.
