WATCH: Margie Greene Gets Brutally Schooled For Not Knowing How The Government Works

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) got her headed handed to her by a Democratic colleague when she snarkily suggested that the Democrat was too old to understand the way legislation is advanced in Congress.

During debate on a funding bill to keep the government from shutting down at the end of the week, Greene rose and remarked:

GOP showboats like Greene don’t know the first thing about legislating. All they want to do is obstruct and lead insurrections. And Margie is among the very worst of them.

 

“My Democrat colleague across the aisle, who’s 80 years old and has been here over 30 years, just said we’re on the verge of a shutdown. She probably just forgot that a few hours ago, she voted for the continuing resolution that will extend the budget, and we are not on the verge of a shutdown.”

While Greene was correct the House had passed the funding legislation, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) promptly gave her a lesson in how a bill becomes a law.

“It may be that the gentlelady doesn’t know that there is another body attached to the U.S. Congress called the United States Senate,” DeLauro said. “And they have to vote on the continuing resolution.”

“That may be a basic lesson in civics. There is the House. There is the Senate. And there is the president.”

GOP showboats like Greene don’t know the first thing about legislating. All they want to do is obstruct and lead insurrections. And Margie is among the very worst of them.

WATCH: Near ‘Literal Brawl’ Starts When GOP Senator Threatens Union Leader Testifying Before Committee

In what was once known as “the greatest deliberative body on earth,” today, a Republican senator threatened to fight a union leader who was testifying before a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien was the witness, according to Mediaite, when Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) referenced several barbs the two men have traded in recent months.

For example, O’Brien posted this in June:

That led Mullin to tell O’Brien:

“Sir, I wish you was [sic] in the truck with me when I was building my plumbing company myself and my wife was running the office because I should remember working pretty hard and long hours. ‘Pretends like he’s self-made. What a clown, fraud always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, cowboy.”

Mullin then added: “Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth. We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.”

O’Brien: “Okay, that’s fine. Perfect.”

Mullin: “You want to do it now?”

O’Brien, accepting the challenge: “I’d love to do it right now.”

Mullin: “Well, stand your butt up, then.”

O’Brien: “You stand your butt up.”

As Mullin stood and started to take a ring off his finger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) intervened:

“Hold it. Stop it. Stop it. No, no. Sit down. Sit down! You’re a United States senator!”

When O’Brien asked if he could respond to what Mullin had said, Sanders insisted he couldn’t, telling him, “No, you can’t. This is a hearing.”

Here’s the video:

The greatest deliberative body on earth? Sure, until a redneck like Markwayne Mullin tries to turn it into a boxing match.

WATCH A House Democrat Confound And Humiliate Lauren Boebert With One Simple Question

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) proved her unmatched ignorance once again today during a debate on a spending bill in which she was unable to answer a simple question from one of her Democratic colleagues.

The House of Representatives was debating a bill when Boebert attempted to add an amendment which would have prohibited any funds going to so-called sanctuary cities, leading Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) interjected:

“I rise in perplexion. I’m asking you to yield for a question.”

Boebert: “Sure. Ask your question.”

“What funds in this bill are used for the purposes you are opposed to?” Hoyer asked.

“This is precautionary,” Boebert responded.

“Precautionary for what?” Hoyer inquired.

“There are sanctuary city policies that are in place that are allowing the refuge of illegal aliens in this and there is an influx of crime and drugs in these cities and there is no way for these folks to even report what is taking place because they are protected under this fake policy that has been created that is subduing the actual rule of law that we have in the Constitution of the United States,” Boebert insisted.

Hoyer: “I understand that, but what you’ve said none of the funds in this bill can be spent for that objective. What funds are in this bill that are to be spent for this objective?”

“I have seen this administration use all sorts of funds to protect illegal aliens,” Boebert said.

“There are no funds in this bill to do that,” Hoyer noted. “So this is just an opportunity for you to stand and perhaps speak about an important subject, I understand that. But there are no funds in this bill to accomplish that objective. You don’t believe that the chairman would put funds in to accomplish that objective, do you?”

Once again, the Colorado Republican insisted she didn’t trust the Biden administration to spend money correctly, which led Hoyer to retort:

“If we do this amendment, any subject that anybody has an interest in would be subject to such an amendment. The rules committee has waived points of order, contrary to what they said they wanted done when we were in charge, because they didn’t want points of order, but there are no funds in this bill, Mr. Speaker, for the objective that the gentlelady wants to prevent.”

“This amendment has no place in this bill because there is no money in this bill,” he added. “You can argue about the sanctuary cities and argue about the border and do all of that, but this is not the bill to do it on.”

Lauren Boebert doesn’t know how to legislate or govern. About the only thing she’s any good at is vaping and giving hand jobs to her boyfriend in public.

Here’s the video from C-SPAN:

WATCH: House Republicans Act Like Petulant Jerks When Asked About The 2020 Election

House Republicans announced their latest nominee to be the next speaker of the House on Tuesday evening, but their press conference devolved into booing, shouting, and verbal barbs aimed a reporter who dared to ask about their efforts to overturn the 2020 election in concert with multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump.

According to Mediaite, ABC News congressional correspondent Rachel Scott was the reporter who asked speaker designate Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) about his role in trying to void the results of the 2020 presidential race.

“Mr. Johnson, you helped lead the effort to overturn the 2020 election result. Do you—”

Scott was quickly drowned out by House Republicans who laughed, booed, and heckled the reporter while Johnson shook his head at her.

80-year-old Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) — who stood next to Johnson at the podium along with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) — had the loudest response, yelling, “Shut up! Shut up!” before Johnson moved on to the next question.

Scott later recounted the moment she asked her question.

Reaction on Twitter to how the Republicans acted was swift and understandably harsh. Take a look:

Acting House Speaker Gets Ridiculed For His Angry Gavel Drop After McCarthy’s Ouster

If you were still watching yesterday when the House of Representatives took a vote that ousted Kevin McCarthy from his post as speaker, you probably saw a man wearing a bowtie presiding over the event.

That man is Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), who was serving as speaker pro tempore, and an action he took after the votes had been tallied and the speaker’s office formally declared as vacated has gone viral and resulted in McHenry getting heavily trolled on social media.

Here’s the video of McHenry’s “sulk slam” as HuffPost dubbed it, courtesy of Ron Filpkowski:

Damn! That is one angry and uptight little man.

Reaction on Twitter was absolutely hilarious.
