  Translation. She's not getting the bribes she expected.
context: Her being in Congress makes me miserable too because it's a daily reminder that there are people who not only think like she does but think she's doing a good enough job to keep voting and support her. Maybe she could quit and go back to sleeping with employees and running businesses into the ground with her family's wealth. >
  
  My main issue with her saying this is that we have a representative who admits her main drive for her job is money >
  
  And that over 6 figures isn't enough to live properly while fighting to keep minimum wage as low as humanly possible >
  
  Not just six figures. $175,000.
  That’s almost double what most people think as “6 figures” >
  
  I’m definitely not going to cry for them 🤣 >
  
  I have no pity for her at all! >
  
  Sure her salary is lower but how much has she made from ~~bribes~~ donations and insider trading? >
  
  Exactly. This is her soliciting more. >
  
  "Hey corrupt corporate interests, if you want to keep relying on my vote, you need to up your bribes." >
  
  Her working in Congress has made millions of people miserable. >
  
  My suspicion is that she appears to have been a really miserable person long before her stint in Congress.   Politics has just spotlighted it more >
  
  Agree.  Hateful people are usually miserable. >
  
  That’s what the GOP stands for. >
  
  Grizzled Ol’ Poot >
  
  “Grizzled” implies some experience of hardship which I suspect few right wing politicians actually have. Try grasping, grimy, grumbling, griping, grubbing, grumpy, groveling, G- words that reflect small minded, soft handed children of wealth and privilege further enriching themselves at the cost of people who earn their livings. >
  
  
  Try grasping, grimy, grumbling, griping, grubbing, grumpy, groveling,
  
  "Grifting" works well... >
  
  Grim, ghoulish, gunky, gelatinous, gravy-stained, gag-inducing, goofball-popping, gerbil-shoving. >
  
  She should feel fortunate that she isn't being paid what she is actually worth >
  
  Can you be paid negative dollars? >
  
  Well MTG has accrued about $100k in congressional fines over her tenure, and congressional salary is about $174k, so she’s certainly not making the money she used to. She sold her CrossFit gym and the divorce is probably fucking her out of money too. >
  
  That definitely sounds like negative dollars to me as long as she has actually paid all the fines. >
  
  ...it could be more negative.. >
  
  I wonder how her army of (nearly) unpaid interns feel about that. >
  
  Any Angry Marge HJ is worth it's weight in Gold. >
  
  Hear me out... >
  
  I hear that Fox pays more.  Go work for them.  You’re sure not working for us. >
  
  But just being a blonde conservative woman isn't enough for their viewers; she'd have to be at least somewhat pretty too. >
  
  She’s got a face for Fox News Radio >
  
  Don't let the door hit you in the ass when you leave >
  
  She should pull a Sarah Palin and just quit. >
  
  Honestly, that’s what I hope happens here.  These MAGA republicans were told that the system was broken and that only MAGA politicians could fix it for them.  The issue is is that their rhetoric is much better as victims rather than actual leading.  
  These people were expecting they that it would all be east.  MTG is finding out there it’s not that easy.    She’s finding out congress and making laws is actually really hard and near impossible in this day and age.  
  This is what I hope happens moving forward.  People become disillusioned with the MAGA movement.  Trump did not make America better.  The Republican led house will not solve americas problems.  After the 2010s and trump, people learned that being fiscally conservative is a joke because there’s literally nothing remaining to cut and that the deficit is purely driven by conservative tax cuts.  
  Just like the rest of boomers, they are expecting things to be as easy as they were for them 60 years ago.  It’s a harsh reality they are facing. >
  
  conservatives will simply abandon democracy >
  
  That ship has sailed. A LONG time ago. >
  
  Conservatives have simply abandoned democracy >
  
  Yep. One might argue democracy has never been a priority for them. >
  
  I wish I had a congress members salary. >
  
  The audacity of complaining about a congressman’s salary when the medium household income in your district is 51,000. 
  She’s making 175000 a year and crying she used to make more, boohoo. >
  
  With government health insurance and holidays >
  
  As if she works… >
  
  Her salary is $174,000. That's more than the salary for 80% of American HOUSEHOLDS. And I bet the disparity is even greater among members of her constituents in rural Georgia. She's insufferable.
  Edit: Plus she has free healthcare and gets donations to cover her "work" expensives. >
  
  People in Congress just don't want to work these days.  Though if MTG would like to quiet quit, that'd be great. >
  
  I think that's what she's done since day 1. She hasn't accomplished a damn thing. >
  
  When does the quiet part start? >
  
  She sounds just like Trump in the quotes. 
  She's bragging about having had a lot of money, letting the little people know she's definitely better than them. She's making sure they know going to Congress is a sacrifice for her, that she could be doing more profitable things.
  She's also setting up her defense with them for when she's eventually caught taking bribes or with otherwise unclean hands in her finances. 
  And she's letting them know she's fighting the libs with their money and needs more of it. >
  
  I had a relative like this. Always complained they had no money to help with sick relatives. Went on several vacations to Aruba every year. Bragged about how their house was too big. 
  I don’t keep in touch with them anymore but the irony is that they likely voted trump. >
  
  Then maybe she should quit! It's  not like we would miss her Fascist rants! >
  
  MTG isn’t the problem. Georgia District 14 would pick a replacement that’s more of the same. >
  
  These people don’t understand or care to understand, literally could never understand the concept of PUBLIC SERVICE. The notion of doing something not just for themselves but for the greater good is and will forever be lost on these self-absorbed, self-dealing imbecilic narcissists >
  
  Are we supposed to believe that she was once a happy-go-lucky type of gal that used to frolic and spread sunshine everywhere she went?
  She was miserable WAY before getting into politics. The only difference is that now Mrs. Miserable has like-minded company and it takes some light away from her. Plus recently, AOC was TOTALLY MEAN to her! >
  
  I'm still waiting for someone to go to congress and scream through her mail slit that they pay her salary like she did to AOC before being a congresswoman. Kind of shocked nobody has. >
  
  Low hanging fruit. >
  
  Let's see, her districts median income is $54k. She makes $175k as a member of Congress and received over $180k in PPP, which she will not pay back. Seems like plenty of money for not doing the job of representing your constituents and wasting everyone's time with conspiracy theories and fascist rhetoric. >
  
  She should try minimum wage then talk about misery. >
  
  Why should they get a salary at all? Make them independent contractors that get paid commission based on the number of bills they write that get passed into law. >
  
  As a tax payer, I pay them. I see no need to give them a life of luxury. Especially when myself, my loved ones, and my neighbors struggle. I'd love to see some reform, though I don't know the best direction for that. I know we can't keep doing what we're doing and incrementalism isn't cutting it. >
  
  This is how Republicans ask Putin for salary increase >
  
  "working" >
  
  “She also complained that she gets harassed on the street by people who "come up to me and say crazy things to me out of the blue in public places that they believe because they read it on the internet or saw it on some news show about me."
  Remember when this dumpsterfire of a human being confronted and harassed a teenage school shooting survivor on the street? >
  
  So get the f out >
  
  Then GTFO >
  
  It has to be miserable if one keeps saying stupid things and keeps getting publicly called out on it. >
  
  Huh, that's funny.  Her working in Congress has made me miserable too. >
  
  She has made millions with dark money, that is why her salary seems low to her! >
  
  Something i agree with her on ever since she's started has made it miserable for me too. >
  
  We're miserable with you here. Please quit !! >
  
  Well like every other American get another job. Fuck I would take that pay and free healthcare. >
  
  Her working in congress has made alot of people miserable. >
  
  She was miserable long before this. Also no one is making her stay there. >
  
  She actually complained that people say crazy things to her that they saw on the internet.
  She actually said those words. Without even a hint of irony. >
  
  Imaging thinking $174k is a low salary for a job you’re grossly unqualified for. >
  
  From the way she sounds, I don't think she can afford one. >
  
  She's got 40 million dollars.  This is all just a game to her. >
  
  and bought an 11 million dollar mansion.  Maybe she should move to the doublewide, since the Russian funds are gone. >
  
  and a luxury suv with campaign funds… >
  
  Her being there made congress miserable too >
  
  So leave >
  
  If she’s miserable, then Good God! By all means please leave Congress! >
  
  So when is she quiting, fingers crossed? >
  
  But I thought if we don’t like our jobs, we’re supposed to quit and get another one rather than complain or ask for more money/better conditions! >
  
  Gently used congresswoman for sale. Serious offers only. Hostile foreign agents welcome. >
  
  Then by all means please quit. You aren't worth being paid and we'd much rather not have to see your face or hear how you're screwing over our country...
  Burger King is hiring maybe you try actually working for a living. >
  
  Poor thing, Net Worth: $41 Million, Salary: $171,000.  I'd be miserable, too.  And, she duzn't have to do anything to earn the salary. >
  
  She needs to pull herself up by her bootstraps, downsize or move to a smaller home, cutback on avocado toast, recycle, donate plasma, shop more frugally, get a 2nd maybe 3rd job, stop cheating on husbands and having expensive divorces, reach out to local church and organizations to see if she qualifies for aid and benefits. Stop crying, you got this >
  
  That makes two of us! Her 'working' in Congress also makes me annoyed and embarrassed for our country. >
  
  The feeling is mutual. >
  
  Planting seeds for her fox gig. >
  
  Then quit >
  
  Honestly, that’s what politicians should be. Your first (and really only) task is to help 100% of your constituents who don’t get along on anything, get together on everything. It should be as thankless as working lost luggage at the airport. >
  
  Imagine how miserable her being in congress makes everyone else. >
  
  If you're miserable then leave your job.  No one here's going to stop you. >
  
  Poor thing…she should focus on making her hubby happy and making babies. >
  
  Working??? >
  
  This is the “self sacrifice” bs republicans like to spew… “But, I’m doing it all for you!!!” >
  
  So just quit then, Marjorie. >
  
  I'm so tired of hearing this, being a congress person is an easy gig, especially if you're a Republican. All you do is show up, hit some rehearsed talking points that your base wants to hear, vote against anything the Dems propose, and cash the checks from your dark money private interest groups. 
  The average American works way harder on a day to day than than any congress person >
  
  Weird, her forgiven PPP loan was $180k, just about the same as her salary. If it’s such an insignificant amount of $ to her, you have to wonder why she took the handout in the first place. Ya know because boot straps and stuff >
  
  Well, she makes us miserable too every time she speaks! >
  
  Us too >
  
  How to tell someone's a grifter with one easy step. >
  
  Is this that thing republicans keep talking about how people don’t want to work anymore? >
  
  Made us all miserable. >
  
  Then she should stop wasting space & leave. >
  
  If your salary is too low please quit! I am sure you there is plenty of work opportunities for loud mouth ignorant idiots out there. While you are at it take some of your cohorts with you. An empty mind is the easiest to fill with delusions of grandeur. >
  
  That must suck, considering she’s already a miserable sack of shit. >
  
  Resign and do something you love >
  
  Funny, her working in congress has made lots of other people miserable. Guess it’s best for all parties if she left… >
  
  Salary of $171,000/year
  Just purchased an $11 million home in Georgia.  
  While it might not seem like a great salary, I don’t really feel sorry for you. >
  
  Then quit and get a different job…..PLEASE! >
  
  I wish my income was that high >
  
  Happy Cake Day! >
  
  Representatives have a salary of almost 200,000 lmao >
  
  I just saw a report that said she makes $174,000  salary. Politicians like her should be making the minimum wage, all politicians. Honestly. >
  
  I’m sure I’m paid way less and work way harder. So stfu. >
  
  Finally, MTG and I have something in common. She makes me miserable, too. >
  
  Thats what happens when you take a job you're completely unqualified for. >
  
  shes completely replaceable by literally anything >
  
  I suspect she's been miserable her entire life >
  
  Sorry MTG, you’ve been pretty miserable since before you had the platform of congresswoman. >
  
  There’s the door, Margery.  Nobody is forcing you to stay. >
  
  If Marjorie is upset her lousy paycheck, then she should quit your lousy job! >
  
  Then fucking quit and go back to your old job of being Mickey Rourke's stunt double.. >
  
  Congressional District 14, GA had a population of 724k people with a median age of 37.9 and a median household income of $54634.
  She’s making over 3x what her constituents are. Way to connect with the common voter. >
  
  Did she check the salary for the job before applying? 
  It is online, unlike so many other jobs.... >
  
  So, why doesn't she resign? >
  
  Make America great again, resign immediately and stop speaking. >
  
  She can always resign… >
  
  Then by all means, feel free to fuck off. >
  
  Typical far right republican believing government employees should be paid 3x the median salary or whatever reactionary take their leadership wants them to agree with this week >
  
  Then quit or resign but pretty sure she has ALWAYS been miserable >
  
  Then she should find other work more suitable to her standards >
  
  There’s the door…! >
  
  She should do some quiet quitting. >
  
  Ehhh she has always been miserable >
  
  Good, then quit >
  
  Then quit, you dumb piece of shit >
  
  Good, now leave >
  
  $174,000 is more then enough money to live on, I’m sure those on minimum wage would cry if they had that pay packet >
  
  She could do everyone a favor and just quit... >
  
  Oh, she should try to live on less than $30k/yr like more than half of the country has to.  Get fucked, Marj! >
  
  In sure she genuinely isnt happy, shes ruining her own public image and life. >
  
  I’m glad she’s miserable >
  
  Do something about it and quit. >
  
  Please quit then >
  
  Lol then do us all a favor and leave. Go to work for Donald Trump.
