At this rate, to end this shitshow once and for all, I would like to propose a solution that will satisfy everyone and volunteer myself as the Speaker of the House.

  • Red blooded all-American woman from the mean streets of Queensland, New York. (Shh...)
  • An actor, like the hero of the Republican Party, Ronald Reagan.
  • Nominated for an Academy Award for playing a Fox News employee, so probably pretty good at pretending to be a Republican too.
  • Expert in Houses (especially of the dream variety)
  • Top moderator of a 20K+ member internet community on an obscure technology forum, which is more governing experience than most US Congressmen.
  • Usually have good takes on everything.
  • Better looking than Marjorie Taylor Green.

I am literally the perfect candidate for the position, vote for Margot!

(But if I can be serious for a moment, this House Speaker thing is getting completely ridiculous.)

Miss Robbie, you have a very packed schedule this year. Should you really be running for political office?

If Trump did it then why not? Can't do worse than him

I don't know when the strike is going to end, so my schedule's pretty empty right now.

You know, my years on reddit have taught me you're a novelty account.

But you're so damn consistent, I half expect to see an interview someday that brings up Robbie's use of Lemmy.

Usually have good takes on everything

Unacceptable. I demand an immediate vote of no confidence whenever a good take is made.

Sigh. As soon as Harley Quinn throws her hat in the ring, they elect some joker.
