They need to lower all their salaries for wasting so much time on things they know won't pass.
They want to try to make this about Biden to make the real president look bad
My feelings are more important than your facts,this is magasplaining hypocrisy grifting by MTG.
@@markrosenstand4796 mark you represent narcissism at it best!
@@rcustis2645 I make a good sarcastic cheese melt too.
Agreed
They really need to do something about MTG for someone who says there's no racism or antisemitism she goes on a rant every single day about those two things no one else keeps stirring the pot of racism and antisemitism but her 😢
Can we drop her salary to $.01? That is literally what her contribution has contributed. She isnlying about what he has done through the Infrasteucture bill etc. In fact, can we claw back every penny she has been paid so far. Her objective is division and hate and ugly. She has proposed NOTHING of value yet takes credit for the Infrastructure bill outcome whoch she voted against. O am tired of her.
She doesn’t even deserve a buck, When Trump goes she can go with him!
Voters need to use some brains and quit sending her to waste time in Washington. Who in the world does she represent?
Drop her salary to $1.00 for all the nothing she has done with her time in office!
If they were all paid the median average income at the time they were elected or appointed, they all might do a better job.
@phobicismist5858 - And that includes Congress too.
$1 Dollar a Nickels to Much.
And like any other job, they could lose it if they dont do it...
I think they should be paid half the salary of the poorest resident of their district or state. That should be the salary of members of Congress. That way, perhaps they might start trying to elevate their constituents rather than treating them like punching bags, good only to be lied to, and stupid and gullible enough to believe any lie they are told. That is certainly how Maggie Swastika Greene treats everyone around her. Every word from her lips is a lie, and they all just drip with disdain and disregard.
Nobody would take those jobs.
The gentle woman from Georgia puts 2 cents worth of highest priority intelligence regarding another person. MTG deserves less than two cents pay.
Americans want their leaders to be held to the same standards as we are...If we fail in the private sector we lose our jobs it should be no different in government
Wouldn't that then be done through elections? I mean seriously 😂
Question: how much money is your state getting from Biden's Infrastructure Bill as opposed to Trump's Infrastructure Bill?
@@mvanluven78would changing his salary to one dollar violate the federal minimum wage laws? Is MTG suggesting that the federal government break the law?
Why not? They're breaking the law leaving the border open and proclaiming sanctuary cities. Marxists don't concern themselves with right and wrong.
No Americans want them to be held to a HIGHER standard. There lyes the problem
We should cut Marjorie Taylor Greene salary to zero after all in Congress selling cow fertilizer
Public service is not a feather in the cap.
They say that it is noble and sacrificing to be in the government.
No. It’s about power, inside trading and pensions.
Period!
Butt-d-jerk is a misfit.
He went on a '3 months maternity' leave. we maintained
he and Dept. Of Energy, Granholm are
both should be paid
$1 for the job performance they
achieved.
This guy is only in it for the perks. Doesn't give a hoot about the job itself and how important it is to actually do the job as what it's supposed to be.
$1 is too much for this grifter! Just get rid of him.
All republicans are in it for the money wtf
@@josephohanlon205 You obviously know nothing about what he has accomplished, he has done more than anyone else in the cabinet and certainly more than Maggoty Trailer Green. Unless you want to count getting divorced and having sex with pansexual love gurus accomplishments.
Not this guy. He's entirely absorbed in infrastructure. Bridges and railways and subways and how to shield subways from getting flooded in storms which is so dangerous for cities. I think he's the most knowledgeable guy in the whole gov't. too. He's really something. Everybody should look up all his interviews, and watch them. Then you'd see the difference between him and guys like -- guys like most of the GOP.
NOt a word about "the transgender," "wide-open borders!" "school library porn" and not a word of insults toward GOP politicians. He just wants to get things done.
And he answers all questions, unlike Republicans who are forced to dodge so many, afraid to speak plainly about their "Master," when asked. And NO STUNTS like "we'll show our scorn for the other side by doing this 'stunt' about just paying him a dollar! "Let's call him a Communist too!" Fun, right? Fun for Marjorie. Time wasting for the House tho.
An MTG supports Donald Trump who spent 450 million of taxpayer money going on hundreds of golf trips during his 4 years in the White House, she should introduce a bill to force him to repay that money to the United States Treasury and the United States taxpayers. When Trump was campaigning he complained about Obama playing golf too much and said he wouldn't have time to play golf cuz he'd be in the White House. I guess she just can't believe a word he says. working for America.
TRUMP IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT DID NOT TAKE HIS SALARY, AND DONE MORE FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE THEN ANY PRESIDENT. OBAMA DONE NOTHING FOR THE BLACKS.
I read his golfing trips cost taxpayers "ony" 430 Million $$, but what the hell is the nation thinking, putting gold T sneakers on a pedestallll. what... AGAIN?
Let Russia run amok all over Ukraine? WTF ?
Why does he ( 2nd speaker ) think its ok to be Hired by America but NOT do his job ???
Because he listens to his Bible. He does not have to listen to American people. He has a higher authority than the people who elected him.
It's the democratic way. MTG shows evidence. Second speaker deflects with his feelings of what MTG motivations are towards Buttigieg. One is factual the other presumed.
God told him not to. ;)
@@marshallvanstee4777 Please tell me what part of the Bible you're referring to that supports his argument. And which Bible?
??? Who is 2nd speaker? Who are you referring to?
Reduce Marjore 's salary to one dollar than lock her up!
We need an audit of all cabinet members in washington and pay by performance
They would all owe the American citizens money if that was indeed the case.
HOw about that applying to all congress members? MTG pretty much does nothing whine and blame.
@@carla2012app sucks when the truth hurts
That's a great idea. We must also raise the bar substantially for performance!
@@luvyesmusici4886 The GOPs who have waste 3 years doing nothing and shouldn't get paid at all! Now it's OMG we have to do something or the gov will be closed again by US GOP's.
Omg get her out of the government she needs help seriously
Why would you continue to pay servant when they do the opposite of what the majority of citizens want? They are a public servant, regardless of position in office.
Look up their donors. See if even one Republican is funded by ordinary people. I think they're all funded by PACS. (rich guys and corporations.) This is not true of Democrats.
Most of Biden's cabinet appointments share common traits with AOC. They bring nothing to the table, except racist ideologies, by dividing our nation into oppressors, and victims only. They fail to realize most all of Americans do not judge each other by the color of our skins or sexual orientation, but by the content of our characters. America does not have a racial/sexual orientation problem. We have smart people who realize this fact. We also have ignorant people who divide themselves by the color of their skins/ sexual orientation, bc people like AOC and failed Mayor Pete tell them they are somehow a victim. Wake up America.
He's only following the squads orders.
the viral video of fraudster-pete having security unload his bicycle 100 yards from House Chamber so people would think he rode bike to work.
@josuaederer7883 same reason why Dunkin’ Donuts cuts you a check every week.
All MTG does is complain about others and does nothing for her district. She takes credit for things that are good for her district that she voted against initially. She's insane
Exactly, Georgia is getting $13 BILLION from the Biden Infrastructure Bill...that money will be repairing over 300 bridges and 2,000 miles of roadways over the next five years that are in poor condition....she voted against it, but now takes credit for that money.
Please don't insult insane people like that.
She’s not insane but I do wonder about the people who vote for her.
That would be wonderful if they paid all of the cabinets positions 1 dollar. That would mean they were doing there jobs for the people not for a chance of political advancement.
Trump didn't take a salary, so what does that say about him?
@@kermitfrog1897Trump took a salary... He's not that stupid!
Wrong! He didn't need the money, he was in it to save our country. @@@jeanwesterman3544

Unserious chaos agents...
She's special because, unlike most mean girls, there is nothing about her any other woman might envy.
So true!
If you are hired to flip burgers and you don’t you are fired, even if show up everyday.
Right. Also, imagine if you say the burgers are racist. Fired on the spot for being mentally deranged.
So should all Republican congress people be fired because of a lack of passing ANY legislation at all for the American people? I mean, their job description is "lawmaker" isn't it?
Its not a party thing in my eyes. I dont care what party these reps are if they arent REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE. Their job is to pass bills. Their job is to make improvements for US. The American taxpayer, not the millions of immigrants that arent paying for the services that are costing hundreds of millions of dollars and not putting money back in. This is out of hand. "we do it out of our good graces for the American people" yeah and im sure the 174k not counting back room deals has nothing to do with it. 174k is almost 3X more than an average normal American makes, and to do almost nothing. Its disgusting. Its robbery.@@pamelapeterson2987
Nice. So much waste of money from our "Leaders" ????? F these attack artists, put "average" people with morals and values in office for a "Real" view of this country. Money rules everything
Am so with you
Does she ever have anything positive or intelligent to say? Has she gotten one bill passed (of her doing)?
She doesn't know how.
No and no.
It is personal it’s our money!
108 of the 126 flights for DOT trips he has taken have been on commercial airlines.
she doesn't care about that ! this is just a spiteful, homophobic attack on Buttigieg. No evidence , just silly phrases like "pothole Pete" from a woman who hounded a teenage mass shooting survivor, screaming at him in the street - how low can you go Marj?
hes already making 174k a year, he needs any private flights? Most of the people he is supposed to be representing dont even make 1/3rd of that.@@dutchdna
then you should have been really upset when Trump took his little trips to Florida to play golf
Well here in Florida there is construction on roads everywhere Pete is doing his job. What are you doing majorette with your Georgia money. Majorette you need to get the $1 yearly pay.
Before I had to retire. If I didn't do the job I was hired for I would not have a job therefore no pay.
If not for Democrats protecting your SSI and Medicare from Republican cuts, you still might be working.
If you don't do what you are hired to do...why should you be paid anything?
Thanks Sec Buttigieg for your work!
Yeah he sure did call roads “racist”! 🤣😂😆
He’s right. In some cases, they are. Their design can effectively segregate/isolate neighborhoods by keeping people in or out.
He did not call roads racists . Educate yourselves.
Under the Reconnecting Communities program, cities and states can now apply for the federal aid over five years to rectify harm caused by roadways that were built primarily through lower-income, Black communities after the 1950s creation of the interstate highway system.
New projects could include rapid bus transit lines to link disadvantaged neighborhoods to jobs; caps built on top of highways featuring green spaces, bike lanes and pedestrian walkways to allow for safe crossings over the roadways; repurposing former rail lines; and partial removal of highways.
math is racist, clocks are racist, work is racist, IQ points are racist, speaking proper english is racist........ what isn't these days? 🤣
@@yourmomma2995 It's the no.1 card to have when things don't go your way.
@@charlie1571
Well, the insurrection card didn't work so well for Trump when he didn't get his way.
If Pete's wage gets dropped to $1,00 then Marge's should be dropped to her paying $5.00 to work for the House.
Thank you MTG.
Hell with that, make her/him pay back every salary cent he has stolen, not earned.
He has not stolen anything. He travels all over the USA to different infra-structure projects. He does have other things he's involved with.
Just show us the proof he stole anything. Every republican politician makes claims about democrats being crooked, yet none of them can come up with any definitive proof to offer the American people. "Show me the proof."
You are a troll. 😂
Right. Same with Trump's golf trips.
Republicans steal their salary every day by doing nothing for the people.
I was in the Army and screwed up a few times got an Article 15 and they took half my pay and made me work 3 times as much. Maybe the government should do the same.
Yes! I AGREE WITH THAT.
Or don't be a piece of garbage. I honorably served for years!!
@@CitizenX815 Hey we all fuck up badly at some point it a matter of if we get caught or if leadership is toxic. In my case it was both.
That would be a huge waste of a dollar
🤣😂 Right
Especially when it's MTG's salary.
😂😂😂😂😂🎉
@@FosterTravis1071 She's at least earned her salary unlike Buttigape. Maybe Trump will do you proud in 2024 and pay himself a single dollar like he did through his 1st administration. 2024 is gonna be glorious watching all the lefties cry like its the end of the world
well it would be a waste of 22 cents , that's about what a buck is worth these days
And what's her pay going to be for chasing Parkland victims around calling the shooting fake? 🤔
Not even a Dollar
America needs to cut payroll for government employees ASAP
I would begin with cutting the salary of Maggie Swastika Greene to zero dollars and zero cents.
No, you should ask Zelenskyy for your salary, he might pay you better. America has money, too much money that they need to give them all away.
Another clueless comment
Ritchie, if you have to edit a comment that is less than 10 words, it tells us all we need to know about you.
@@heinleinreaderMost people who support her are hard-working, self-supporting Americans & that's who she supports. I wonder if you don't support her because you don't fit into that category.
She's got the audacity to say that about him but what the hell is she ever done she shouldn't even be getting paid like I said there should be taking the garbage out
She telling the truth, Do you want your tax money to pay pothole pete to go on 16 vacations.
These people couldn't make it in the private sector.
Look at Biden. He's been paid by the taxpayers (& who knows who else) for his entire adult life. It's a travesty!
Damn straight. That's why they are career politicians...the only job where you get paid and promoted for failing to do your job.
Did she shred her own salary to a $1 because she deserves even a dollar
They should do all of them that way until they can get spending under budget!
We should make Trump pay back American taxpayers for the $7.8 trillion in debt that he created. He created more debt in four years than had been created in the previous 200 years total. A full 25% of our current national debt was created under Trump's presidency.
When Pete retaliates, later today, Marge is going to look even dumber.
What's he gonna do....bring his boyfriend for her ? 😂

And yet you still made a comment 😂
Yes in agreement to a post. 🤡
Of course we disagree but right is right wrong is wrong especially when it’s that kind of money and taxpayers money We are on to them and they know it
So, you and MTG are against equity of updating transportation in poor black neighborhoods or communities? Wouldn't that make you and MTG racists?

These politicians need to pay their own way instead of being a welfare program off the taxpayer! They have NOT earned their pay period!
Speaking of someone who has not done anything but waste time and our money in her position. What a joke she is. Georgia you voted for this joker.😂
Love it. You get what you deserve.
Reduce Taylor-Greene’s salary to a penny. And that penny is only because she does provide some measure of hilariousness by taking herself much more seriously than she should. She’s completely inept.
I think most of them should have a dollar due to what work they don't do
She CLEARLY has nothing better to do. C'mon, Georgia! Twice? Do better!
Mr. Bootyjuice uurrrr Fired👏👏👏🙌🙌💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So, it's a joke that MTG is a racist? Are you against equity in upgrading transportation in poor black neighborhoods and communities that usually don't get the funding that White and financially well off neighborhoods and communities receive through U.S. Grants, funding and tax dollars?

The rebuttal was weak AF. I'm so disappointed in this. Pete deserved better.
She has no problems calling people hypocrites and liars! And that is EXACTLY what she is!
Of course after taxes it'll just be 44¢.

He is just afraid we will find out about him having his hand in the cookie jar.
She said they need to disqualify him if anyone needs to be disqualified months ago. She is only there to put on a show totally unqualified

As a rural Anerican, I love my dirt roads.
You should petition your state to give back all of the money they are taking from Biden's Infrastructure Bill then.
That only proves that you like living in a muddy swamp because that’s what the roads would become on a rainy day.

MTG is 100....if I didn't do my job I would be FIRED like 99% of us......
margarine traitor groan really is despicable!
Sick who sees racism in the construction of roads. Enough of this nonsense 😢😢😢
MTG salary should be dropped to $1. She does nothing except spew divisive rhetoric.
All dems should get a $1.. boarder economy energy police woke and foreign policies...they have done enough..vote them out
I've said that our politicians should get paid on commission. If they would get paid on tasks that have been completed, just think how much they would accomplish.
it would be hilarious seeing a bunch of them walk up wearing busted shoes and a barrel with suspenders
Maybe Republicans would accomplish the same amount that Democrats have. But I doubt it.
I would agree if I didn't think he should be thrown in prison instead.
😢😮 so sad that this is politics today so many people suffering,hurting, and this is what they vote on!
Butiggieg should have been fired long time ago, or he should never have been appointed that position.
MTG sit down , you're a joke
Botty Boy is a waste get rid of Him
What the hell she got her nerve she needs her salary cut to $0 for doing nothing.
Just do your job. That is all we want!
Hell yes Pete stop spend taxpayer money on 16 vacation.
Margarine should pay the US money to be allowed into those Chambers. She's just a doofus who has no agenda of her own. I loved how she was ripped to shreds by that Veteran on another video I saw earlier. She lies & denies her own words.
A dollar is to much and actually he should pay us back our stolen money because he’s done nothing but cause mayhem !!!
Give Buttigieg a raise when you kick MTG out of Congress
Sounds like a good idea to me!
He should have been doing his job and he wouldnt have been called out. And he IS a hypocrite
The same booty judge that considered putting devices in Americans cars to charge by the mile
GO GREEN!!!
MTG B6 should have no place in congress… cut her pay to $0.25 cents
Good luck Marjorie
GQP......another display of their governance ability. ZERO.
He is NOT worth $1 , get him out of there!
Coming from someone who should give any money she has received as salary for congress. While they are at it Jim Jordan who does nothing owes 16;years of back pay to congress for lack of doing job he was elected for
He looked like he didn’t want to be at the railroad disaster.
Brilliant! Agree 100%. Should be implemented across the administrations' slack assed appointees.
I feel Marjorie Taylor Green wants to pay them all a buck for not doing their jobs. In that case she doesn’t even deserve the buck.
I'm sure Pete would still do the job if he was passionate about it.
Why $1? Have him payback his entire salary or garnish his future employer.
Lmao this aint absurd. Buttigedg aint worth .50$. he ain't done shit for us, he's a joke. I can't stop laughing and I vote for this.
even a dollar to much
I love Marjorie!! You tell em girl! He still aint done shit for Palestine.. I know I live here

It's not just him, this whole Administration is a disaster . Reduce all their pay to one dollar and make them payback all the money they have stolen and wasted by giving contracts to their friends. The man speaking after her seems delusional and that is a big problem.
MTG has done nothing
The last Republican administration added the most debt in US history during a single presidency. While cutting taxes for the rich and lying about COVID.. also lying about election results.. but yeah this current administration is bad lol
I will repeat that, a big fat NOTHING!!
Out of curiosity, how much is your state getting from the Biden Infrastructure Bill as opposed to Trump's Infrastructure Bill. For instance, the state of Georgia is getting $13 BILLION from the Biden bill which will be used to repair more than 300 bridges and 2000 miles of roadway over the next five years. Can you guess how much they are getting from a Trump Infrastructure Bill?
We all think MTG is only worth a dollar 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Yeah! What she said!!!!
If money is the case..then MTG should be paying us to keep her...her ignorant rants are expensive to put up with...think space lasers...
Go Majorie
Shes right. We the people shouldnt pay for his fun
