Not a single part of her three shot plan even attempts to improve the lives of people.
I just might call the jail and tell them to keep up the good work.
I'm not going to give any American prison/jail any credit. Greene probably stumbled upon a right opinion when she claimed that inmates are being mistreated. It just happens that she got there because she supported the maybe-violent overthrow of the American government. To be honest I'm not really too keen on laughing at the situations of insurrectionists who were jailed either. It's funny that they are facing consequences, but you know.
While jail / prison conditions are truly deplorable in this country, I do love how the official simply shrugs his shoulders at MTG at the 0:09 mark.
So many comments.
Who the feck is Brandon?
Brandon Brown, a race car driver. The phrase is a ring wing euphemism for feck Joe Biden.
How childish.
Boebert looks so much like a chipmunk.
This tweet has a really good summary that Biden and the Dems really need to sell better
1. Vaccinations 2mil to 200mil
2. Jobs created 5mil
3. Wages up $2 per hour
4. Dow up 5,000 points
5. Unemployment down to 4.8
Wait... whut?
This is openly discussing sedition. It is treason. There is no depth of lowness Cruz will descend to.
And exactly how would they take the federal military? They can have the State Guard but DoD would withdraw all troops or Texas would need to pay DoD for protection, that's how it works. Doubt the oil companies would do anything to cut off their precious subsidies from the Fed.

Ted Cruz Talks About Joe Rogan Being 'President' Of Texas If State Secedes From U.S.
"If there comes a point where it’s hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil,” Cruz told an audience at Texas A&M University.
In a startling address to constituents, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently talked about controversial COVID-19 conspiracist Joe Rogan becoming the “president” of Texas if the state secedes from the union.
“I’m not there yet,” Cruz told an audience last month at Texas A&M University about Texas seceding from the United States — popularly known as “Texit.”
But “if there comes a point where it’s hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil,” he said to loud applause.
Asked if he would also take Rogan, a Texan, Cruz responded: “Joe Rogan, he might be president of Texas!”
When Cruz was asked by a member of the audience about the possibility of seceding, he said he “understood the sentiment.” But he added that he wasn’t ready for it — yet.
“I’m not ready to give up on America. I love this country,” he said, again to applause.
For one thing, Cruz insisted, Texas has a “responsibility” to the nation because “right now it’s an amazing force keeping America from going off the cliff, keeping America grounded in the values that built this country.”
But he’s prepared to change his mind.
“Look, if the Democrats end the filibuster ... if they pack the Supreme Court, if they make D.C. a state, if they federalize elections and massively expand voter fraud,” which doesn’t exist, “it may become hopeless,” Cruz said. “We’re not there yet.”
But if it does become “hopeless,” that’s when the state should grab NASA, the military and the oil, he added.
As for a possible future Texas “president,” at least right-wing vaccine and mask skeptic Rogan appears healthy after contracting COVID-19 earlier this year. The podcaster early last month insisted without a shred of evidence on his popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” that President Joe Biden’s booster shot, which was filmed and shown on TV, had been magically faked.
Rogan admitted in May he was a “fecking moron” and “not a respected source of information” after falsely claiming young and healthy people don’t need to be vaccinated. Hopefully, he knows more about running a nation state.
Cruz’s talk was recorded for his Verdict podcast series. It’s part of a series of controversial Verdict talks and others funded by the conservative Young America’s Foundation, whose president is right-winger Scott Walker, former governor of Wisconsin. Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump’s one-time attorney general, and Trump’s extremist immigrant adviser Stephen Miller are alumni of the foundation.
Cruz planned to speak last month at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, but the event was moved off campus because organizers refused to comply with the university’s policy requiring masks, WKOW-TV reported.

I, for one, can't wait for The Alamo Part II and Ted Cruz's ugly head on a pike.
They have no idea how much they rely on the federal government for things. Secessionists never do.

Hold your horses dwaz, if the civil war goes tits up then they'll just blame Cruz for being a Canadian.
They've had ample opportunity to call him out on that and have chosen otherwise.
Cuban-Canadians for Succession.
Don’t think a video could get any more cringe…
You still dig her? She actually looks like she put a little weight on recently.I know she's lying but I can't help myself
That's just more of my Kellyanne to love
I was going to try and make a joke or pun, but I got nothing but revulsion in my brain. Need more bourbon.
She's basically a real life version of Hellraiser plot, minus the woman seducing men for the Hellraiser character to consume the flesh (that we know of). But we are perhaps seeing firsthand how a skeleton readapts to human form.
Somehow I think that he believes that dinosaurs are only 14K years old.
I know she's lying but I can't help myself
She's morphing into Lara Trump.
Wasn't it just this winter they were begging DC for help during the extreme cold? fecking idiots.
Yessir. All while Texit Ted was hightailing it Mexico.
But it's not treason when California talks about it? Multiple times?

Cool, cool.
Is a sitting US senator from California championing the potential secession?
Perhaps not, but no one shouted treason at the people wanting to secede California from the U.S.
Elected officials are sworn to uphold the constitution, those Californians who got initiatives on ballots, etc. often were not.
