That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

I don't even applaud them. What risk are they taking? I doubt Greene expects that anything she does in congress will have any chance to strip Israel of funding? MAGA Republicans have proven they don't care about the Palestinian people so until we see more than platitudes, watch with skepticism.
