It's almost like Marj is waking up to the fact that her Republican Party is full of Republicans.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So the bottom line is she says no. She turns her back on us!
She voted for it. THREE TIMES!!
BUT this time her own children are facing the premium hikes. That makes everything totally, completely different.
She has kids? That's gotta suck for them.
I wonder how long the whelpings took.
Thoughts and prayers.
It sucks for everyone that her parents had kids.
Ew
I'm sure she will take this opportunity to reflect and grow as a person.
Only because her kid is turning 26 and getting off her insurance plan. R’s dont care about anyone but themselves or their own family. And that 26 is a benefit from Obama so she should fucking thank him for these extra years while she’s at it
Changing her grift or actually trying to serve her constituency? Curious to see her going rogue like this. Love me some conservative infighting.
No she's literally just trying to serve her own adult children. She said so herself.
I've always had the sense that MTG is sincere, but incredibly stupid.
she's sincere, she just wholly believes all the conspiracies about Jews, and she is really fucking antisemetic
She is not sincere, and she is bone fide intellectually disabled.
Let's not throw the intellectually disabled under the bus, like that; many of the people with Down's I've met are, hand over fist, better people than MTG has ever managed to be.
Why not both?
Did more of the Epstein Files get released recently? Did it have any effect?
People who don't like Republicans already know, people who do wouldn't listen or care.
Not that I'm ever going to vote for or say anything good about her, but hey, every little bit helps.
Also, I think health insurance and all insurance is a scam, just be clear!
What even is her position here? She is against single payer and against insurance companies. Does she want us paying for everything out of pocket?
The actual answer is that she doesn't hold any position.
Best guess is that she’s frustrated with the amount you pay versus what you get back. And honestly she’s not wrong but probably mad at the wrong at the wrong people.
Obviously she doesn’t want to pay for everything out of pocket.
If I learned nothing else from Alien: Earth, it’s that…
Tap for spoiler
…we’re gonna have to enlist the help of some unsavory characters to defeat the billionaires.
Spoiler for the Alien franchise: the 1% is bad, mkay?
Don’t do hypercapitalism hmmkay?
Oligarchy is bad hmmkay?
🙃
I don't care what she says. She's scum. It's mostly self-serving lies.
If she starts actually voting more intelligently, let me know.
She is getting closer to waking up. Still screeching about illegals and foreigners and not the wealth hoarders, though...
If she wants the bill passed, she better get to the insurance companies and get them to lower premiums themselves.
