    So, Israel shill AOC, who refuses to oppose Democrat leadership, is now criticizing Marjorie Taylor Greene for actually opposing Trump?

    If even ACTING like opposing leadership is good politics why the hell is AOC sucking up to Schumer and Jeffries?

    Marjorie Taylor Green has been hated by the Left for YEARS and never feared for her life.

    She was hated by the Right for two DAYS and had to hire security.

        I would think that if I didn’t see Trump rock through the 2016 field. Now I’d rather see Liz Cheney vs Kinzinger for the R nod

          I follow Kinzinger on BlueSky and I could have sworn he had left the party. I see now he refers to himself as RINO

          Even though he has in the past voted for plenty things I disagree with and apparently “90% in line with Trump” before turning against him, I have to say… yes. If Kinzinger ran that’d be nice. Sadly, the GOP primary polls put Vance way ahead… Still early days, though. Who knows? DeSantis seemed to be doing well for 2024 until he wasn’t anymore. Maybe Vance screws up. Maybe Trump loses his appeal completely. It’d be nothing short of a miracle, though. Kinzinger actually even has a decent record on LGBT rights. It’d be a spectacular change.

          As for Cheney… Not many people share this opinion, clearly it didn’t work, but I found Cheney useful in Harris’ campaign. To me it said “Look. Everyone from Sanders to Cheney opposes Trump. This is it. This is all of us. From left to right, everyone opposes Trump. Him and his friends are not even on the map. He’s far-right. He’s anti-democratic. He’s not part of the debate. He wants to end the debate.” (But yes, of course, I understand how the GOP enabled the oligarchy-driven autocracy that Trump is trying to cement. I know that Cheney isn’t one of the good guys)

      Check your math.

      Under federal law, Members of Congress qualify for a pension, funded in part with taxpayer contributions, only after completing five full years of service. Greene began serving on January 3, 2021, and her departure date leaves her with 1,829 days of service — five years and three days, just enough to meet the eligibility threshold. Her pension would start at $8,717 at age 62, and based on actuarial data, could total more than $265,000 over her lifetime.

      Why are you freaking out that she has to wait until retirement to get it? She gets it then.
