From what I see, all those mentally ill Congress members are Republicans

199 voted to keep her. Little do they know, this entire post election fiasco set the stage for the 2022 elections and it doesn’t look good for the GOP

Sometimes ...

don't blame them all tho ... 

Freedom of opinion is valuable ... just not bs conspiracy theories with no actual facts to support them..

Ahh, will she still be able to vote? 

Yep, we'd need a supermajority to remove her from the house & have Georgia re-elect someone. Sadly, even if they got that this part of Rural Georgia is gonna remain trash so they'll just send someone else like her.

Would it be the 2/3 rule?

I agree that having various opinions from across the political spectrum is valuable, even if those opinions are flawed. The problem with Green, however, is not her opinions. It's that her facts are entirely unbeholden to reality. We can't have that in a democracy, because it means that there's no ability to change someone's opinion with good evidence, because they base their reality around things that are inherently un-realistic and downright made-up. 

When Republicans don't reject people like her from the party, and instead give her a round of applause, they are 100% to blame for people like her.

Yep, 67%, which would require quite a few Republicans.

yay but she shouldn't even be a congresswoman in the first place

This. Removing her from committees is a step forward for sure but it's not enough. People like her should not be allowed to be in Congress.

Definitely not. Unless of course the Senate somehow convicts Trump, which would be a signal that the Republican party is changing and people like Greene are to be thrown out.

It's basically the only step Dems can take, but it's better than nothing. Not giving her assignments means she basiclly just shows up for votes, which is pretty boring and doesn't give you any press. They aren't getting the votes to remove her from congress, so making her a vote (just 1 number) out of 400+ members is pretty good.

What is the likely hood of Trump being convicted? I’m not really keeping up to date with US politics
