Why does AOC, the larger politician, not simply eat MTG?
Taller. Not larger. Marge is… robust. Got a neck like a linebacker and triceps like John cena except she’s more veiny
She’s the equivalent of a throbbing chode in a Barbie wig
Can you imagine eating an old boot?
What kind of boot
One that loves getting licked
This is the way
I’m not going to read Marjorie Greene’s entire statement so I might theoretically be missing some context, but what does she say here? “Communists aren’t Americans and need to be locked up.”
That’s just McCarthyism. A bunch of nonsense we should have left behind.
Even if her accusations of communism were accurate, there isn’t anything in the Constitution that says people who identify as Communists cannot be American citizens. On the other hand, birthright citizenship is specifically granted in the 14th Amendment.
I truly, honestly, believe that a congressperson saying that AOC, who was born in NYC, isn’t American, is a violation of their oath of office. Marjorie Greene swore to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution couldn’t be any clearer about AOC’s citizenship. I also think that office holders who violate their oath of office should be removed from their office, and that it is the responsibility of other representatives to do so.
This happened in 2021. Green was mad about the Green New Deal and AOC failing to “embrace our American ways.” Sorry for the NYPost article, it was the one I found.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tore into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a speech Saturday, calling the progressive Democrat a “communist” and criticizing the Green New Deal.
“She’s not an American. She really doesn’t embrace our American ways,” Greene said about Ocasio-Cortez, who was born in the Bronx, according to Fox News.
“You want to know why? She has something called the ‘Green New Deal,’” the Georgia Republican said about Ocasio-Cortez’s climate plan.
Last month Green called AOC a “pathetic little hypocrite” for her comments opposing the US attack on Iran.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has called out Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, for her criticism of President Donald Trump’s attack on Iran.
Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Ocasio-Cortez, who had said Saturday’s attack was “absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment,” was a “pathetic little hypocrite.”
a violation of their oath of office
I like the idea that the way to punish politicians for irresponsible behavior is to hold them seriously accountable to their Oath of Office. Give the oath some teeth, and enforce it.
How do you do that in a way that can be prevented from being used for political reasons?
That’s like preventing a disease from being used for political reasons.
As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…
You can’t.
As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…
Except it didn’t, it infected more people who didn’t vax who leaned primarily Republican
Well sure, but that’s not the virus’s fault.
MTG: *trolling*
AOC:
MAGA keep insisting they’re not fascists, but then keep doing & saying fascist-like shit.
Once this bullshit is over -abd one day it will- van we please criminalize calling politicians to be locked up? And I’m not talking about your average Lemmy calling for Trumo to be locked up because of too many to count crimes he committed, I’m talking about politicians calling for locking up other politicians only because you don’t like them.
If you have a following, first amendment no longer applies to you, you don’t get to say whatever bullshit that springs up in your head.
Germany has a law against Volksverhetzung; I’m pretty sure that would fall under it. Unfortunately they haven’t been very good at enforcing it, esp. on social media. Yet still some 'muricans screech that we’re against ❄️🍑 and therefore fascist - not understanding why and when that law was implemented.
That law should be applied to anyone with a following of more than 100 people. If you influence more people than you can on a small square then the rules should change and you shouldn’t be allowed to claim whatever shit you want and claim freedom of speech.
I’d make those rules a lot stricter as well
Volksverthetzung is about specific protected classes, which don’t include non-religious ideologies (and l’m not sure if “not american” is a specific enough identity either)
This would make it illegally to call for Trump to be locked up for the legitimate crimes has has and is committing and is obviously unconstitutional
No it would not.
Calling for something reasonable after proven evidence is submitted that the person broke the law should not be criminalized, though even with that there is a time and place. Submit that stuff to a court, not to twitter.
Either way, I’m talking about making random unsubstantiated claims or over generalizing claims like “all Jews are evil because they all support genocide” which obviously is bullshit
How do you substantiate it without literally proving it in court which in this case we are here in the US specifically denied the right to do
