    I feel empathy for her, but only a tiny bit. Her political party: (1) supports political violence, (2) commits most of it, and (3) in general commits a majority of the crime in the country. This is not an opinion, it’s documented fact. Violence is the conservative party’s M.O. I don’t mean to victim blame, but when you willingly associate with violent psychopaths on a daily basis, violence is inevitable. It was just a matter of time before some dipshit put his hands on her.

    Greene claimed to Johnson that McCormick grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her following a public spat they had over competing resolutions to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the sources said, and asked the speaker to address the issue.

    This is so fucking stupid.

      I mean what 60-70%% of the country wants to grab her and shake her at this point? We just all have restraint.

    “In a private meeting”….so who leaked it?

    Yeah shitty people gonna shitty people, her being a reprehensible human being doesn’t justify anyone physically assaulting her. Of course she’s all but threatened others with the same or worse so in a sane world she might see the irony but… I doubt it.

    I’m a bit lost on protocol here.

    Do I express sympathy?

    Or do I just point out that’s probably the closest any guy would ever want to get to touching MTG?

        Therein lies the second problem.

        Do I express sympathy for the guy touching MTG?

        Or do I point out he’s a Republican so fuck em?

    Big mood

    It’s not good that violent shitheads are violent shitheads. Obviously, the violent party is in the wrong. But I don’t know that I exactly have any sympathy for the victim when the Queen of the Leopards Eating Peoples’ Faces Party gets her face eaten.
