      When Democrat politicians fuck up, other Democrats will absolutely call for, and get, resignations. Even things that boil down to consenting adults in privacy can result in resignations when it’s seen to compromise a politician.

      When Republicans fuck up, the party circles the wagons and goes full defensive. They will absolutely fight to resist any calls to resign, using any tactic they can think of to keep their latest pedo/pervert/con man/criminal in power. Only if the evidence is incontrovertible, and the outcry impossible to ignore, will they ever consider resignation, and as we’ve seen with Gaetz, that’s not even necessarily the end of their career.

      MTG is exactly the kind of brainlet to think that Democrats work the same way Republicans do. She thinks “Release all the Ethics reports” will make Democrats back down, or at least intimidate them. A party agreeing to release ethics reports relating to their own people is utterly unthinkable to her.

      A broken clock is still right 2 times a day.

      You’re giving her too much credit.

        Eh she’s more like a 24 hr clock. Or maybe one of those little “comic-a-day” calendars that you can out on your desk that always seem to be on the wrong day until you remember to update it…

      Don’t worry, you agree with her words but not her intent. She doesn’t actually want to do it, she just wants to use the threat of it to keep Gaetz’s report secret.

      Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that the Democratic party is far more morally corrupt than the Republican party. So therefore she believes that this is a nuclear option she does not realize that this is what everyone literally wants, well everyone except for the people in her own party.

        MTG seems to be in the minority of elected Republican representatives in that she actually seems to believe the things she says

      Don’t worry, she’s not, at least not on purpose. Even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while.
      Pretty sure she’s being sarcastic.

      She’s not, i don’t think she wants this to happen and i think she knows that people won’t agree to this kind of thing.

      But what she’s saying is right. The people deserve to know what our representatives are up to.
