Could Poverty Do What The Democrats Can’t? Knock MTG Out Of Congress? Read Her Own Words And Decide

Beam me up scotty. There’s no intelligent life down here.

Every time you think it can’t get any weirder. I guess we now all know what GA GOP insult Machine Gun Margie Greene likes to do when she’s not appearing in photo shoots toting AR-15’s, leading the newly castrated Kevin McCarthy around by the cranki, and making personal appearances at far right rallies and shindigs. She likes to piss and moan. Allot. About how poor and miserable she is in congress.

No shit. A couple of days ago Laborious MTG made a guest appearance on Mountain Troll Glen Greenwald’s POS podcast, and boy did he get an earful. Just not about what he wanted to talk about. Turns out that Greene was piss miserable, and since her minister stopped taking her calls, she unloaded herself on Greenwald and his audience;

The nature of this job, it keeps members of Congress and senators in Washington so much of the time—too much of the time, to be honest with you—that we don’t get to go home and spend more time with our families, our friends, all in our district, or maybe just be regular people,” the Georgia lawmaker grumbled. “Because this job is so demanding, it’s turned into practically year-round.”

Let’s be clear here, shall we? In 2022, and I mean the entire year, according to then Democratic majority Whip Steny Hoyer, the House was scheduled for a backbreaking 112 days in session in a year spanning 365 days! For those even more math challenged than me, that’s an average of 1 out of every 3 days a year being spent at work. Or even simpler, with a five day work week, congress actually shows up and insults our intelligence for approximately 5 1/2 months out of a 12 month year. With a schedule like that, little wonder Machine Gun Marjie doesn’t have any time for the target range, or military survivalist weekends. Oh, the humanity!

But fear not, we’re not done. Oh no, not by a long shot. MTG was just getting armed up, next she went on a pouting tantrum about how she’s almost had to go on food stamps since being elected to congress;

“Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I’ve lost money since I’ve gotten here,” she groused, adding, “It’s not a life that I think is like something that I enjoy because I don’t enjoy it.”

Oh, that poor, sweet, innocent child! According to Wikipedia, the annual pay rate for a US Senator or House member is a truly paltry $174,000 a year. To put it a little more succinctly for us common wage earners, at 8 hours a day for 112 days, that assays out to just about $195 an hour! And don’t even get me started on the medical, dental and pension benefits.

Here’s where the poverty thing makes no sense to me.  When MTG got elected, she was rolling in the green. Her father had sold her and her then husband his successful contracting business. Now to be fair, MTG just became an ex-wife, so maybe that has something to do with it. Except that makes no sense.

I’m an ex-husband, though likely not the smartest one. I wanted out so badly nothing else mattered. And while I wasn’t even the one who cheated, kept custody of the minor children, and assumed the collective debts of the marriage, I was still lucky to walk out with my BVD’s still on. The settlement cost me half of my United pension, half of my 401k, and $100 a month in spousal support for two years. And I had a shark for a lawyer with 30 years of experience, but a shitty judge. Who the hell handled MTG’s divorce, Rudy Giuliani?

Fortunately I have the perfect solution for Machine Gun Marjie. And because I want her ditzy blonde ass out of congress more than my own dignity, I’m going to share it with her. It’s simple. Spend a few bucks and get a ,match-book-cover print mill law degree, and go to work for Traitor Tot! He already loves you, so you’re In like Flynn. And right now, Trump is latching onto anybody with a law degree for all of the suits and investigations going on against him. Pass the bar in American Samoa, and apply for visitors privileges in New York and DC. As long as you’re smart enough to put him on a pay-as-you-go-plan, you’re set for life. At least his life. There. Don’t ever say that I didn’t do you a solid.
