Tweedledim Vs Tweedledumb



In a clash of Titans, it's Tweedledim vs. Tweedledumb:

Far-right Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) traded blows on Monday in a disagreement over the next House speaker.

At a Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, Boebert criticized Greene for backing current House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) for speaker.

“I’ve been aligned with Marjorie and accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in,” Boebert said. “I don’t believe in this just like I don’t believe in ... Jewish space lasers,” she added, referring to one of Greene’s most widely-ridiculed conspiracy theories.

Greene shot back on Twitter, accusing Boebert of “high school drama” and noting that the Colorado Republican won reelection on a knife’s edge.

“I’ve supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. President Trump has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. Kevin McCarthy has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. She just barely came through by 500 votes,” Greene tweeted.

“She gladly takes our $$$ but when she’s been asked: Lauren refuses to endorse President Trump, she refuses to support Kevin McCarthy, and she childishly threw me under the bus for a cheap sound bite.”

Observers have noted a barely- disguised antagonism between the two MAGA morons since they both found themselves seated in Congress in 2021.  Thirsty for the spotlight, the two have been circling each other looking for opportunities to attack.  Now that they've taken opposite sides in weasel Kevin McCarthy's bid for Speaker, the rift has been laid bare once again.

If this is what we can expect for the next two years as one faction of Republican crazies goes to war with another faction of Republican crazies, we say -- more please!
