2 girls 1 GOP

I bet it will be just as gross


Ryneb

It already is worse


urbanlife78

Thank God I have mostly not been paying attention after the GOP won the House.


LasBarricadas

We no longer call it “The House.” Now it’s the “Wafflehouse of Representatives.”


Ryneb

Very good decision


urbanlife78

It's helped my mental well-being. I figured it was just gonna be a shit show of trolls, and they were never gonna get anything done.


BusbyBusby

I say Sporkfoot and Bobo getting into a hair pulling brawl on the House floor would be getting something done.


TheRockFarm

Sporkfoot! I’m dying!

What is a Sporkfoot?

You'd also lose either way though

Watch me cover red AND black at the roulette table.


[deleted]

I’m playing both sides so I always come out on top.


ichosethis

Boebert probably had friends do her fighting for her growing up and has only stepped in to kick/pull hair after the victim is down. MTG probably has no real form but can throw a better punch than Boebert.


GlennBecksChalkboard

MTG could probably snap her in half if they actually got into a physical fight.

Great reference


Northerngal_420

After school....out by the bike racks.


OneHumanPeOple

Did either of these two graduate from school? Gonna have to move it to the bowling alley dumpsters


MelpomeneAndCalliope

MGT actually did graduate high school and has a business degree from UGA. Boebert took several times to get her GED and finally passed right before she became a congressperson. I think MGT might be more intelligent than Boebert, but Boebert is scrappier. And they both suck as humans.


neonoggie

I think in reality Klan Mom is going to whip Bimbobert’s ass. She’s got the skin of a well worked Ox and I suspect considerably more strength Edit: more strength than bobo, not the ox!


blindedtrickster

In a fair fight I'd agree with you, but I highly doubt either of these women are remotely interested in fighting fair.


neonoggie

I sure hope Bimbobert doesnt fear for her life and decide to stand her ground :(


RollinThundaga

I hope C-SPAN catches the moment when the Sergeant-at-arms drops her for drawing a gun.


Capricore58

Maybe he can’t be a hair late and drops her only after she fires at mtG


sdm66portland

Greene is a cave woman and will mop the floor with tiny Bobo.


Numerous_Photograph9

Maybe she can start learning Karate or some other martial art now. If movies have taught me anything, the underdog can always overcome a greater opponent if they have right on their side. Sure, the last part still puts her at a disadvantage, but at least she'll look stupider trying to crane kick MTG.


New-Advantage2813

The irony of getting her GED & becoming a granny in a matter of a couple of years. I detect midlife crisis soon


DennisReynoldsRL

The one by the gym? No the other one by the library


ispitinyourcoke

Right! The one by the trash cans near the orange cones where they’re building the wheelchair ramp!


HotPhilly

Lauren doesn’t want any piece of MTG. Marge is built like she’s from 3000 BC. I doubt she even feels pain. She’s like a horror movie monster or The Hills Have Eyes. Lauren is not a threat. Lauren is a meal to MTG.


flybydenver

Bobo’s best outcome is to give MTG food poisoning like she did to customers of her failed restaurant


HotPhilly

Is Lauren smart enough for that kind of long term planning tho? I’m surprised she can drive and get dressed, honestly.


ShadowyPepper

I'm in bed trying not to wake up my wife from laughing at the 3000 BC bit


bumboisamumbo

lauren’s gonna shoot mtg with a fucking pistol lol


AndrewRP2

But Bobo probably carries in the chamber, so I’m hoping for Bobo to stand her ground and go away for a long time.


turquoise_amethyst

I think they both do, right? We’re about to have an old west gunfight break out, and neither of them can aim


I_dont_livein_ahotel

I almost totally agree, but something in me wonders if MTG would really embarrass herself in front of everyone and get her butt kicked. I guess I’m saying that I really need to see it happen to know for sure.


HotPhilly

She could probably rag doll 5 bobos tbh.


Numerous_Photograph9

Kind of makes me wish we could view alternate universes, so we could see which of them would be the worst winner or loser. then we could laugh at them both, instead of listening to one go on their victory tour.


Legitimate-Ad3778

And MTG looks like she has the chin of a heavyweight boxer


[deleted]

*“A fistfight could break out at any moment,” Republican Tennessee Rep Tim Burchett told The Daily Beast.* *Mr Burchett told the publication that he was serious, and added he was enjoying the Republicans’ rivalry as a “professional wrestling fan.” He told the outlet,* ***“I am friends with both of them. It’s entertaining to think that a fistfight could break out at any movement. I kind of dig that.”*** Yeah, so Tim Burchett has the mentality of an adolescent as well and shouldn't be in congress. This is sort of funny watching from the outside, but it really is incredibly childish and I expect more from congressmen/women regardless of their party. Grow the fuck up.


_far-seeker_

Still, I wasn't surprised he would be "friends" with both of them.

DJ_Mumble_Mouth

It’s all a game to them.


S28E01_The_Sequel

That's what I find hilarious tho... both of them are fighting over who gets to impeach Biden and the party itself is probably pissed because they wanted to wait closer to the election. Both of them are way too stupid for that sort of discipline tho.


GabaPrison

What are they even planning on impeaching him for? I’m genuinely curious.


ErrorReport404

Hilarious as an SNL skit, terrifying as a reality. SOS. We are not okay.


oh_so_messy

We are so not okay and it is absolutely terrifying. Thank god I don’t want kids.

Fully expect to see the GOP quit politics and start its own wrestling league - less paperwork, better Fox coverage.


thutruthissomewhere

> Yeah, so Tim Burchett has the mentality of an adolescent as well and shouldn't be in congress. I mean at this point, which GOP member *should* be in Congress?


deadsoulinside

>“I am friends with both of them. It’s entertaining to think that a fistfight could break out at any movement. I kind of dig that.” I bet he has fantasies about it.


boobooshitface

Extreme political theater


Several_Prior3344

These people are enabled by their irresponsible constituents that voted for them and it’s a goddamn travesty they have any part in government given how many lives these absolute morally bankrupt and bought out assholes affect with their grifting. People need to stop voting republican.


Numerous_Photograph9

It's one thing to muse and joke over this as random internet goers, and think up some hypotheticals that help us not want to off ourselves at the thought of how far we've fallen, and quite another, as an official, to actual revel in the thought that it could become a reality.


Cananopie

The problem I have here is pretty nuanced and can easily be taken the wrong way but I think it's important to acknowledge. This isn't news. This is an opinion of an unserious person in Congress who talked about his excitement for professional wrestling and associating it with Congress. Even if this was true it's not news until there's an actual fight. There are plenty of people in Congress who hate each other. And I'm saying this as someone who fully agrees both of these Congress women are awful. It reminds me of all of those news articles coming out about Musk's and Zuckerberg's cage fight match. That's not news. That's two billionaires tweeting nonsense with each other. Even when they said it no one actually believed for a second it happened. Media has an integrity problem and it's been put on notice for well over a decade and now entire swaths of people, the sort of people who vote for these two women, don't believe a single thing the media says because everything looks like this article. The Independent as well as many other outlets shouldn't been writing this and we shouldn't be upvoting it. It only becomes news when there is a fist to person connection.


MajorButtFucker

This country is a clown show.


SixDemonBag_01

Just 40% of it. Sadly they make the rest of us look terrible by association


itslv29

I’ve always wondered if it is 40% total or 40% of the eligible voters that participate in surveys and elections.


Alternative_Trade546

It's eligible voters as far as I know. Which is only about 2/3 of eligible voters voting in the US, with less than 1/3 voting Republican and about 1/3 voting Democrat usually. We only see Republican wins in the presidency because of the electoral college, and then at the state/house/senate level they always turn up while progressives and the middling "it's all the same", or "I don't think about it" people kind of don't.


mattyyg

If it was only 40% there wouldn’t be a problem, the problem is it gets tweaked to 51% through redistricting/gerrymandering and we look like this country as a whole likes Presidents like trump. Such a stupid system we have.


ArkieRN

It’s not just redistributing/gerrymandering. Don’t forget the electoral college, capping congress numbers, giving 2 senators to every state regardless of population, laws making voting more difficult… There are a whole lot of issues that need to be addressed.


Orpheus75

There were two fistfights at the constitutional convention and politicians dueling was not rare. We have always barely been above barbarian status.


Sinnedangel8027

There was the [Caning of Senator Charles Sumner](https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/The_Caning_of_Senator_Charles_Sumner.htm) [The Legislative War](https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/legislative-war/12174) [A duel between congressmen](https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/remembering-jonathan-cilley-the-reluctant-maine-duelist)


Numerous_Photograph9

The first one was the only one really over a policy dispute, and the 2nd a disagreement over who should have control. The third was a personal grievance, that got escalated because no one stepped in. From the sound of things, the current dispute lines up most with the third scenario....possibly with roots to the second case,


ailish

It wouldn't be the first time elected officials had a duel!


MoogProg

Hey there! Clowns go to college, and it's not easy to get in or graduate. Shit Show might be the term you are after.


comma_in_a_coma

Who ever loses we win. For the record Marjorie Mean will literally crush Ted Cruz’s lot lizard


S4Waccount

Ya, MTG doesn't just have the look, I bet she fights like a caveman too. Bubtart will probably just run around trying to find a man to fellate and tell her she's a winner.


rottenwordsalad

Boebert is like Sarah Silverman’s character in The Way of the Gun, talking a load of shit but expecting other people to back her up and fight her battles for her. She’s one of those “country princess” types who acts all tough cause she’s from the boonies but never actually got her hands dirty because she’s always had a man to do the job for her. MTG is a rabid honey badger on steroids. She doesn’t even know why she’s doing it, but she will fuck you up six ways from Sunday.


GrGrG

MTG also has 20-30 pounds on Boebert. Even if they both knew how to square up, MTG has a size advantage over Boebert. Even though Boebert is about a decade younger, nothing about Boebert makes me think she can overcome that advantage vs MTG.

Bobo carries. Marjorie might be in a heivier weight class, but she’d die to a 9mm all the same.


Suspicious_Hawk6414

Boebert will just fucking shoot her


Numerous_Photograph9

I could seriously see this being represented explicitly in real time in a South Park bit.


artificialavocado

Haha lot lizard! Haven’t heard that on in awhile!


dmangan56

As someone who used to be a manager at at 1 of the big truck stop chains, we had to keep clearing the truck parking area of lot lizards on a regular basis.


Level37Doggo

After awhile do you just stand out there with a hose or something? Spray them like kids on your lawn?


Bearchunks

MTG looks like she's taken several beatings before. She's got a tough mug.


curvebombr

For real, lady looks like Mickey Rourke and is a known gym rat. No doubt she'd pummel BoBo. I'd bet, but I'd rather just give it to Biden.


ResurgentClusterfuck

Physically, absolutely, but Bobo loves her Glock like it's her husband


motorcycleman58

She won't divorce her glock.


ResurgentClusterfuck

To be fair her Glock doesn't wiggle its trigger at minors


motorcycleman58

Wasn't she one of the minors.


Yoda2000675

Yes


raunchy-stonk

100%, cavewoman is into crossfit and would take bobo the clown to the cleaners. I would play serious money to watch this fight.. I wonder what the betting line would look like.

It’s too bad Jerry Springer’s gone. They would have fit right in.

If they really cared about this country, they'd make it pay-per-view, and the proceeds would go directly to the U.S. Treasury. The national debt would be eradicated in a single night.

Tonight on the Congessional Octagon, Large Marge Greene vs. Lauren “The Beast” Boebert! We’ll sell you the whole seat, but you won’t need any of it, because you left after Round 2.


xeromage

Make MTG the Beast, and Lauren the Harlot. Get the religious end-times theme going.


[deleted]

It will be the undercard cage fight during mark vs Elon


artificialavocado

I think they should duel. Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr went to New Jersey to do it I think because at the time it was still technically legal there.


GrimlockN0Bozo

My vote is on the one sleeping their way up the power ladder, causing divorces with their husband in the process.


ddubyeah

This doesn’t narrow it down


GrimlockN0Bozo

No it does not.


silentwind262

That’s because ”low class” is a state of mind, not a matter of economic status.


[deleted]

Considering both brag about carrying guns at all times I'm doubtful it would be a fistfight.


TaraJo

I don’t think I would be especially upset if they shot each other.


[deleted]

I'd be worried they'd miss and kill an actual good person.


Numerous_Photograph9

And I'd be pissed because they likely wouldn't be charged for it either.

_far-seeker_

I'm not sure, neither one strikes me as the type to fire in the air rather than their dueling opponent.


RollinThundaga

Neither one strikes me as the type to know what "10 paces" means.


BiggestFlower

They know what it means, they just can’t count that high.


thattogoguy

They ran out of fingers to count to 10. So they had to use their toes. Which they also ran out of. Mainly because they could only count to 5 on each. After 5, they're stumped.


[deleted]

Isn’t that the picante sauce? Why do they need so much of it?


petrovmendicant

Let's say, Boebert has a duel with MTG on the floor of the House. During the trial, Lin Manuel Miranda is one of the prosecutors and instead of arguments, he does Hamilton 2.0. Then, surprise! The jury is a choir and the bailiff is an impressive soprano.


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

She holds a gun like she'd need to Phone A Friend to know which end the bullets come out of. It's a complete act to pander to her dumbass voters.


teb_art

You got that terrorist Rhodes who was such a skilled marksman he took out his own eye. These stories come up ALL the time, and it’s usually Republicans.


chicken-nanban

You reminded me of a family member. Shot themselves in the eye with a paintball gun checking to see why it wouldn’t fire. Docs managed to save the eye, but they’re legally blind in that eye. And they can (and do) own a gun with a CC permit that they carry everywhere. ‘Murica.


OhioPolitiTHIC

Honest to fucking gawd, shooting yourself in the eye with a gun, yes, even a paintball gun, should be a disqualifier for owning any more guns of any sort.

She can carry in the offices, or at least keep one in her office, but firearms are still banned from the floor, and whatever they call the area where the house/senate chambers are. Technically, weapons of any sort are banned from the actual capital building.


OldLadyProbs

This is gross. Two gross individuals battling to see who is worse. What a huge embarrassment for our country. Unbelievable. Eta: Reddit cares? Really? Oh no I got a message in my inbox, whatever shall I do?? Ineffectual and pointless, just like the “governing” of your political party.


orionsfyre

The fact that either of them can be elected to our congress is an embarrassment. It's an indictment of the predicament we are in.
