The Marjorie Taylor Greene case

The purpose of the Kenya trip is rather sickening. I was handed the true facts at the Istanbul airport five days before election 2020. Ann Dunham was the oldest member of a group of Peace Corps applicants who traveled to Kenya to start the ball rolling on Ping Pong Imports, which today kidnaps and transports thousands of children to prostitution hubs for the Deep State. The other key players were Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham, John Podesta, and TV actor Alan Young (think Mr. Ed.) Yes, they were a group of well-scrubbed U.S. teens, the perfect cover for the master planners. So young and so, so evil. Marjorie Taylor Greene has the pertinent documents but of course the mainstream media will not listen to her. I will share any or all of this with any sincere, patriotic citizen at the Taos Regional Airport on Sept. 30 at 3 p.m.

So you have these facts and yet no authorities have them?

Perhaps all you have are made up stories.

Alan Young apologist.

Rep Moloney said MTG was gleeful during insurrection

Gee, wonder if the 1/6 investigation will have anything to say about her.

Before our right wingers (rightfully) point it out - being gleeful is perfectly legal. Unbecoming, stupid and despicable, but none of those things are illegal either. I don't think the 1/6 investigation will have anything to say about it - just show, no tell.
 
Anyone remember the "video" created to make it look Obama's mother was in Africa, but they used the wrong flag for the hospital room?

None of this matters.

Obama could have been born in Brazil, while his mother yelled "Alluh Akbar". She was a U.S. citizen and that makes Obama eligible to be voted in as President.

The rest is all slanderous libel.

IANAL, but I think this is incorrect.
Child Born Between December 24, 1952, and November 13, 1986

... If your parents were married but only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have been physically present in the U.S. for at least ten years before your birth, and at least five of those years must have been after your parent reached the age of 14.
Barack Obama was born BEFORE his mother's 19th birthday, so she wouldn't have qualified for this clause even if she'd never left the U.S.A.


... That being said, I always assumed Obama probably was hiding something since it took him so long to produce his birth certificate. I know I would have produced my birth certificate a lot sooner than he did. And unlike Trumps tax forms, his place of birth did matter to the constitution. Or at least I thought it mattered back then....
On the other hand, Trump started his campaign promising to release his tax returns. He lied and lied about, then never did. His history of fraud and deceit made them rather important to voters who wanted to cast a well-informed vote. But all he did, and has ever done, on that important subject, is lie and dissemble.

And still, somehow, millions of people think he's an All American Christian hero?!
Tom
But this is not written in the Constitution. AFAIK there was no such thing as income tax when our country was founded. If we want to require the POTUS to show their taxes (and maybe we should!) then all the states should amend the Constitution. Until then Trump (or anyone else) can keep their private taxes a secret.
I wonder if you know how this post comes across. Obama's birth-place was never in doubt — long before the birth certificate was presented there were birth announcements shown in two different Honolulu newspapers. The whole birth "controversy was a figment of the right-wing liar comedian Alex Jones, one of whose biggest fans was Donald Trump.

And releasing taxes by a President is a matter of not just "norms" and promise, but also of common-sense morality. To follow your reasoning to its logical conclusion, we should be OK with child rapists as President since there's no proscription in Article 2 of the Constitution!

She is the result of a representative system. There are enough people like her in her district to elect her. She represents their interests.

That's the way its supposed to work.

At least until the federal level, then the President can be elected without a majority of votes.

She is the result of a representative system.

Especially if you ignore the gerrymandering in Georgia.

It's no surprise that her win was aided by gerrymandering, but I think there were at least 2 dozen candidates on the congressional ballot who were affiliated with Qanon. Not totally shocking 2 are in congress now. There are others who are just as nuts, but not necessarily Qanons.
 
For congress, Media Matters counted 98 candidates, with 2 winners: MTG and Lauren Boebert.
  • Two candidates, in Georgia and Colorado, were elected to Congress in the general election on November 3. Both are Republicans.
  • Twenty-eight candidates -- 26 Republicans, one member of the Independent Party of Delaware, and one independent -- were on the ballot in November’s general election after competing in primary elections or after fulfilling other requirements needed to get on the ballot.
  • Of those 28 candidates, five were from California, four each were from Georgia and Florida, two each were from Illinois, Arizona, and Delaware, and there was one each from Colorado, Nevada, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Oregon, Ohio, and Texas.
  • Three candidates, one in New York and two in Massachusetts, ran as Republican write-ins in the general election. One candidate in Alaska ran as an independent write-in candidate in the general election.
  • In total, 90 of the candidates were Republicans, two were Democrats, one was a Libertarian, one was a member of the Independent Party of Delaware, and four were independents
The only one I was in any way familiar with was Antoine Tucker - Ballotpedia He ran as a Republican write-in candidate for NY-14 in the 2020 general election. He barely got any votes, because the write-ins were 1/1000 of all the votes. I remember one of his campaign videos. It was about how horribly decrepit NYC public housing was, even though AOC once wrote a bill that was a Green New Deal for public housing.

Independent Party of Delaware - Home

For state legislatures, MM counted 26 candidates, with 6 winning.
  • Four candidates, in Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, were incumbents. All of them were reelected. Candidates in Washington and New Hampshire were also elected. All six are Republicans.
  • Twenty-four candidates in total secured a spot on the general election ballot: three each from Minnesota and Arizona, two each from Washington, New York, New Hampshire and Maine, and one each from Indiana, Tennessee, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, and Florida.
  • Twenty-two candidates were Republicans, one was an independent, one was a member of New York’s Conservative Party, one was both a Republican and Conservative Party member, and one was a member of Hawaii’s Aloha Aina Party.
Creation of Aloha Aina Party announced - Hawaii Tribune-Herald
The Aloha ʻĀina Party - "love of the land" in Hawaiian - sort of a Hawaiian nationalist party
 
So far, there are 45 candidates for Congress who are known to have advocated QAnon:
  • Twelve are from Florida, eight are from California, four are from Texas, three are from New York, two each are from Arizona, Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois, and Ohio, and there is one each from Maryland, Rhode Island, Oregon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Colorado.
  • One of the candidates, in Florida, is running for a special congressional election being held in January 2022.
  • Forty-two are Republicans and three are independents.
  • Thirty-four previously ran for Congress in 2020. Two previously ran for a state legislative seat in 2020.
Antoine Tucker is trying again, running for US Senate as a Republican.

Of the 8 governor candidates so far,
  • Four ran in California’s 2021 recall election.
  • Seven ran or are running as Republicans, and one ran as an independent.

For states' secretary of state, 4 candidates, all Republicans.


Nearly all of these candidates are running as Republicans.
 
MTG's district is not a beneficiary of typical gerrymandering. In a simple example like
55 - 45
55 - 45
55 - 45
55 - 45
55 - 45
55 - 45
55 - 45
55 - 45

20 - 80
20 - 80
the Republicans have only 48% in the state vs the Ds 52%, but get 8 out of ten districts by 55-45 margins. The gerrymanderers achieve this by over-concentrating D voters into two districts.

But MTG's district was very heavily R -- the 9th most lopsided House district in the country or such. Thus despite her utter inanity she took 75% of the general election vote.

I agree that MTG's district has always been crazy conservative! It's on the Tennessee border for that matter and Tennessee is far nuttier than Georgia. Of course, both states have big liberal pockets but those pockets aren't deep enough yet to change things. And, I am very worried about voter apathy. I hope that the new voters who voted against Trump have finally realized that their votes do matter and they will vote again in the midterms. Otherwise, it's bye bye Warnock.
