MTG is on her way to Italy - Jonathan Capehart

[question everything]

From PBS earlier this evening

Speaking of members of Congress who are running away from this (the rally), you know where Marjorie Taylor — Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is? She's on her way to Italy — a friend of mine is on that flight and took a picture and tweeted it out — in first class.

1. Can Italy be persuaded to keep her?

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. Maybe they won't let her in

According to Forbes, unvaccinated Americans have to quarantine.

They should check her for rabies, too.

12. She's surely vaccinated

Like most of these people, she's certainly taken care of herself - she just is willing to sacrifice her a stupid fan base for the cause

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. I was wondering if this idiot is vaccinated

I can see going to Italy without checking on the rules since rules do not apply to her

9. Well, I'm glad I did bother watching the Biden-bashing Hour,

oh, I mean the Newshour again.

Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island hit back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she referred to him as "Rep. Mussolini," a reference to the Italian fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini. Cicilline, a Democrat, tweeted a response Wednesday, denouncing Mussolini as well as Greene. "Mussolini was a fascist dictator in league with Adolf Hitler, who murdered six million Jews," Cicilline said. "Marjorie Taylor Greene can get lost."

Greene's reference to Mussolini came in response to Cicilline telling reporters he would propose a rule change to stop the Georgia Republican from delaying votes in the House simply because she didn't like a bill. The chamber passed President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus package on Wednesday, with every Republican opposing the bill.

Greene tried to delay the bill's passage by making a motion to adjourn, which would have required every lawmaker to come to the floor and vote on whether to remain in session. All Democrats and 40 Republicans voted against her motion, so the adjournment did not take place, but her attempt delayed the House proceedings for about an hour.

It is not the first time Greene has used such tactics to put off voting on legislation she does not support. Cicilline said after the Wednesday incident he wanted to stop Greene from doing so by proposing a rule change that would only allow members on a committee to motion to adjourn, Newsweek reported. When asked about Cicilline's plan, Greene referred to the congressman as the Italian dictator. "Do you mean Rep. Mussolini? Not only did Democrats unilaterally strip away my committees, now they want to remove any powers I have to represent my district," Greene told Newsweek. "The Democrats run the House of Hypocrites with tyrannical control."

14. He's being WAY too nice. Surprised she didn't drop a hint that he's gay, too....

One of the best we have in Congress (Cicilline, not Traitor)

16. Waiting for a news story about an arrest of an unruly unmasked passenger

because the only reason she ever wore a mask in the first place was to put stupid messages on them.
