😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has claimed that shes working for free in Congress because they take all of my money away to cover her fines for refusing to wear a mask on the House floor.
They take the money straight out of my checks, Greene grumbled to right-wing podcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on video. It wasnt clear when the tape was recorded.
By the end of December 2021, it was reported that Greene had piled up over $100,000 in fines. Congressional salary is $174,000 a year, so since Greene has continued to refuse to wear a mask, her salary is likely gone.

Resign.
Quit now, and you won't work and won't have to pay mask fines.
You wind up happier by not paying fines, and we wind up happier no longer having you represent the evil and scummy of this country.

(9,966 posts)... I think Pelosi and the House should make an exception when masks are no longer required - that being Ms. Marjorie Taylore Greene has to wear one FOREVER!

Oh
is it too late to create a new House rule? Any Member who accrues fines of more than $173,000 in one year is automatically expelled.

Attention seeking outrage queen.
Her entire reason for seeking office was "No one is paying attention to me" over her outrage that a man in drag read stories to children during story hour, and a woman in a head scarf came out of the same library.
Three toes, Boebert, Cawthorn, all blithering, seditious, willfully ignorant one term idiots.
