    She must have a head injury. Something weird is happening with her. There's simply no way she went from bat s*** crazy to the most sane Republican in Congress.

    Seriously...wtf?

    “Others suggest that Greene might have more personal motives for speaking out. She reportedly began to explore the possibility of running for Georgia governor or senator next year, only to be knocked back by the White House on the basis of polling that showed her divisiveness would put statewide seats in jeopardy.”

    MTG wanted to run for GA senate seat next year but the WH shut her down and said she couldn't win. She thought if she did her time as a congressional rep that it would buy her goodwill with the party and they'd support her for senate.

    She's realizing that the elities laugh at her and shes gone on a revenge tour since.

    Fetterman would have a seat at the Republican table.

    MTG is garbage like AOC, crocket and omar. The fact is the Democrat party is an elitist organization with zero merit to be elite.

    this garbage chooses a new way to lose,

    on the heels of the Dem sweep, an emphatic FU to the 78-yr old convicted felon,


    Elise Stefanik announces run for New York governor



    NY Gov Hochul shared a statement of her own, calling Stefanik Trump's "number one cheerleader in Congress and
    his right-hand woman in his war on New York."

    "Apparently, screwing over New Yorkers in Congress wasn't enough – now she's trying to bring Trump's chaos and
    skyrocketing costs to our state," the governor wrote.​

    Just when you think Trump couldn't be nastier he proves once again what a fould mouthed nasty pig of man he is. He doesn't even have the decency to mention the death of a former Vice President. Whether he hated him and his family or not, it's always been common decency for a President to show some respect at times like that. But, Trump isn't capable of leading this country with dignity and respect. He's by far the nastiest human being to ever hold office. Once again, he spews his hate and lies on his social media....

    It's so telling how the choice of words he uses to describe Pelosi are a mirror image of him. He's the one making a fortune off his grift right now, and he is the one ripping off the American Public. He's the old broken hack, spewing nonsense and falling asleep on the job, and physically and mentally declining before our eyes. The stench around Trump the felon is as toxic as it gets.

    Now they think it’s a messaging problem? Republican leadership is basically saying the issue isn’t that the economy is bad or that they don’t care about it. I’s that they just can’t get the message across to the public. So now the focus is on "fixing the messaging."

    If that sounds familiar, you probably already know where this is going.

    Projections are facts now? Explain why reality is so different in your world.

    Democrats have become elitist. If you disagree with them, they shun, shame and abandon. While the core tenets are different, the attitude is identical to mid 1900's American Christians.

    sweet sweet naive child. Rich people have always ruled Republics. But I digress

    You dont have to be wealthy to be an elitist. You just have to think you're better than everyone. And you certainly think you're better than anyone who isn't a lock stepping democrat

    This sweeping generalization is so prevalent and it’s just wrong. Yeah, some people can be obnoxious, democrats included, but that happens everywhere. Look at the Republicans. Trump rips anyone who disagrees with him, even his own people. Once they step out of line, he publicly shames and sidelines them. He even has the DoJ going after one of them now. As the leader of the Republican Party, he is literally doing the thing you’re accusing Democrats of. With so many followers falling in line, your statement actually fits Republicans better.

    Musk mocks journalists, scientists, and employees, fires people who criticize him, and shadow-bans whoever he doesn’t like. That is straight-up shaming and elitism. And this is coming from someone you seem to admire and often defend.

    Project all you want, but if you see those as not just your opinions but facts, it explain to me why your view is so strange.

    Inflated ego. Narcissistic. Those describe people who think they are better than everyone. Do you know of anyone who is really famous, the leader of the free world, the richest man in the world, who may be getting a $1 trillion paycheck that fits this bill?

    Being wealthy helps being an elitist. It takes money to stay at a Ritz-Carlton ... versus ... a Motel 6.

    An economist with a BA, master and PhD from top 10 schools and 20+ years of experience working at top Wall Street firms likely considers himself/herself "better than most everyone else" at economics. I suspect that this economist is likely better at economics than 99.99% of the rest of us,

    If this same economist works in a WH cabinet position which requires elite knowledge of economics, I suspect that you @Space Ghost would call him an "elitist" pejoratively, especially if it is a D WH. Would you prefer an economist who is a know-nothing calling the shots? Because that is exactly what we have now.
