Politics-What's on your mind?

I would like every one of our cowardly Republican politicians, to stand in front of the families of those killed in the insurrection and explain why Donald Trump should not be held responsible. I understand they were all safely ensconced in their own little hidey spots while others were dying but how can they look the other way when these deaths are on the hands of the Republican Trump administration.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will have 'conversation' with Marjorie Taylor Greene after her 'disturbing' comments on social media.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has only been representing Georgia’s 14th congressional district in Washington for a few weeks but she’s already made a big name for herself…as one of the most batshit crazy elected officials in recent history, a title for which there is major competition these days. After voicing her support on the campaign trail for such conspiracies as QAnon, Pizzagate, and one about the Pentagon not actually being hit by a plane on 9/11, Greene has wasted no time making it as clear as possible that she is a dangerous lunatic who should not be allowed anywhere near the halls of power. On her first day in office, which took place on January 3, she wore a mask that read, “Trump Won.” Days later, during the certification of Joe Biden’s win, she objected to counting Michigan’s electoral votes. While sheltering in place during the riot that occurred shortly thereafter, she refused to wear a mask, despite being in close proximity with other people.

Here's just the tip of the iceberg:

A review of hundreds of posts and comments on Greene's Facebook page revealed her past support of and engagement with numerous far-right QAnon conspiracy theories.

In April 2018, on a post she wrote about the Obama administration’s Iran deal, a commenter asked her, “Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???,” meaning Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. To which Greene responded: “Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.”

Greene repeatedly expressed support on social media for assassinating leading Democrats, once liking a Facebook comment in 2019 that said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should get a "bullet to the head."

CNN reported that in February 2019, Greene broadcast a Facebook Live video from inside Pelosi's office saying the speaker would "suffer death or she'll be in prison" for treason.

The freshman lawmaker also reportedly endorsed conspiracy theories that both the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which killed 26 people, including 20 elementary-school children, and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting - which left 17 dead - were staged.

I do wonder what it would or would have taken for those republicans to consider an impeachable offense!

Jimmy Carter once again did not make it to an all-presidents-on-deck event. He did send a video message to Hank Aaron's funeral, and he did look very aware and alert, although frail. I believe the days of Jimmy Carter leaving his house are done.

I am starting to think Marjorie Taylor Greene might be Rand Paul's illegitimate daughter. According to Google......they only live 318 miles apart by car. Just saying.

...or maybe it's just something in the local water.

I often wonder how ugly creatures such as these are allowed to walk amidst the rest of humanity.

But I do know how it happens: small snivelling worm-like vermin, supported by carefully hidden wealthy powerful enablers, spit out their slime and grease the internet path for vermin . In neither case are they the majority of voters or citizens but they have slowly, stealthily packed the courts, thickened the walls of their legislatures, and created a gross lie that they represent the "will of the people"...wtf is wrong with Democrats that they cannot figure out how to disabuse citizens of this lie....

YOU WON, WTF ARE YOU SO OFTEN ON YOUR KNEES???
TIME TO STAND UP. CLAIM YOUR VICTORY AND TELL THE "REPUBLICAN BASE " TO GO TO HELL.

IF THEIR LEADERSHIP CAN"T STOP THEM, DO IT FOR THEM .

You know, it's said that the surest way to lose an argument is to invoke the example of Hitler and Nazis. People's eyes glaze over and they stop listening.

"Yeah yeah. That all happened but was 70 years ago. It can't happen again".

How fucking stupid is that?

From thehill.com article "GOP Has Growing Marjorie Taylor Greene Problem":

"Greene penned a 2018 Facebook post espousing a wild and false conspiracy theory that California’s deadliest wildfires at the time had been caused by a laser from space."

That is, by no means, the wackiest or most harmful of her beliefs.


It seems that Congress could reprimand her in a couple of ways, both of which have been proposed by her colleagues. They can have her removed from Congress, which will take a two-thirds majority vote, or they can strip her of her committee assignments, which apparently the House Minority Whip can do on his own. Her current committee assignment is to the Education Committee - which is ludicrous, because one of Ms. Greene's favorite conspiracy theories is that the school shootings at Sandy Hook and Parkland were hoaxes.

I guess that brain trust Kevin McCarthy was too busy yesterday begging for Trumps help to conduct his "talk" with this crackpot nutjob! He did say it was on his "to-do" list tho!

The House of Representatives has voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments. This will limit her influence in Congress. The vote was 230 to 199, with 11 Republicans siding with the Democrats.

Yay!
