The Marjorie Taylor Greene case

[lpetrich]

Reese Gorman on X: "Speaker Johnson on the chaos that went down at the Oversight markup last night:
“It's not a good look for Congress. And as I've said a few times this morning, decorum is an important principle to maintain. And we're going to continue to try to advance that principle and we" / X

AOC continued:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on X: "Here’s the problem with…" / X

Here’s the problem with “both sidesing” the chaos that was the Republican Oversight hearing.

Republicans VOTED in cmte to allow the rhetoric that was used against Ms. Crockett last night.

Notice that when Dems have the majority, these things don’t happen.

It also gets worse…

Remember: the hearing was about contempt proceedings - otherwise known as a “markup hearing,” where the full committee must vote at the end.

In markups, both parties offer amendments. This is standard. Amendments are voted on and then the full proposal.

Dems had 7 amendments.

This is where the GOP chaos matters.

AFTER the Republican Chair and GOP members broke official House protocol to allow MTG’s horrific opening silo of rhetoric, they THEN made another change to dispense with the legislative process.

THAT part is not getting enough attention.

They THEN did something highly unusual and still unclear to me how legitimate it was - they cut off the *rest of the amendment process,* end all legislative debate, and cut straight to a vote on their text without standard procedure.

Needless to say, this is not normal at all.

You see, this is the microcosm of what authoritarians do on a larger scale.

ID a vulnerable person/community that’s easier to break the rules towards, normalize it (often w/ “both sides” rhetoric), and then use that rule-breaking to undermine deeper processes and rule of law.

That’s why this stuff isn’t just all-sides chaos, or mere distraction, or a pox on everyone’s house.

They WANT you to think this was some random devolution of conduct instead of a structured GOP outcome.

We must understand who and what actions created the situation. It matters.

 

[TV and credit cards]

But it's not about advancing the dialogue.

What dialogue? What could a cast led by MTG possibly contribute to anything? Details about space lasers? Proof that it was Hunter Biden who killed Vince Foster and master-minded the attack on 11 September 2001?

I meant that in a more general sense. Not just our politicians but our society.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on X: "Some people are upset ..." / X

Some people are upset about the scene from Oversight Committee last night, well I’m upset and disgusted pretty much everyday at the Democrat controlled DOJ, federal government, and Congress in general.

The Democrat DOJ is weaponized against us. They want to put Pres Trump in jail the rest of his life which is a death sentence!

They are throwing people in prison by the thousands for years for protesting the 2020 election but ignore their own paid criminal rioters.

They put Peter Navarro in prison and will soon put Steve Bannon in prison because of Nancy Pelosi’s corrupt January 6th Committee that broke House rules and hired an ABC TV producer to put on their prime time nightly hearings of LIES.

The Democrats are the same people who voted to kill unborn babies up until the day of birth and they would march us all in front of a firing squad if they could.

Congress has enslaved the American people in over $34 TRILLION in debt and that will be over $55 TRILLION in only 10 years.

Washington DC only cares about funding and fighting foreign wars while fully and cowardly refusing to fight the war waged against the American people at our own southern border.

Pardon me if I don’t talk as nicely as some people would like to hear.

I’m not going to keep you all addicted to outrage and hopium that never solves a problem or stops the inevitable implosion of the United States of America.

I’m completely over it.

Sounds to me like a woman with hurt feelings

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on X: "Every single committee hearing. Every single floor speech. ..." / X

Every single committee hearing. Every single floor speech. Democrats attack, smear, and hurl personal insults against President Trump.

Just like Jamie Raskin did in his opening statement last night.

How ridiculous is it that the Speaker runs his mouth about decorum when our opposition refuses to follow it at all.

AOC isn’t intelligent. Jasmine Crockett has fake eyelashes.

These aren’t attacks on personalities. These are just facts.

With video of Rep. Jamie Raskin describing how the proceedings were postponed from 11 am because certain Republicans went on a "mass spiritual pilgrimage" to the NYC trial of "a Florida man, an adjudicated fraudster and rapist" who faces 34 felony counts of falsifying financial records to cover up his payment of $130,000 of hush money to a porn star that he had had sexual relations with.

He notes that some people "churlishly" think that they should be at DC to vote, and not to suffer some last-minute change of schedule, but his colleagues "demonstrated for all of history their fierce devotion to this clearly reformed devout and pious Florida spiritual leader," someone that some people call "the Messiah from Mar-a-Lago."

Ms Crocket scores! The crowd goes wild!

<Nah.>

 

[bilby]

Meh. Churchill's government suspended scheduled general elections, every year, between November 1940 and the end of the war.

Suspending elections when there's a war on is a normal, expected, and honourable path for a democracy that is fighting for its survival.

If Ukraine doesn't hold free and fair elections within a year of winning the war, then we can talk about whether or not the country remains a democracy.

Jasmine Crockett on X: "So MTG wanted to ..." / X

So MTG wanted to talk about my appearance in COMMITTEE?!

It’s against the rules to do…

She refused to apologize!

The chairman ruled that it was ok…

AND I asked for clarification about what qualifies as “engaging in personalities”
& basically wanted to know if I could talk shit about her appearance as… well… y’all know what she looks like, right?

PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES!

This is what happens when mentally deficient people who can’t read and follow rules or just don’t give a damn… somehow end up in CONGRESS!

вRι α. on X: "@JasmineForUS "Just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?" (vid link)" / X

Jasmine Crockett moves to trademark 'bleach blonde bad built butch body'

According to the application, the phrase is intended to be used for a variety of clothing items and accessories, including hats, hoodies, socks, T-shirts.

The move comes after the 43-year-old lawmaker launched what she dubbed a “Crockett Clapback Collection” last week that included a T-shirt bearing the same alliterative insult that she used during her contentious exchange with Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on X: "Yes my body is built and strong ..." / X

Yes my body is built and strong NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle. Soon turning 50 years old, God willing, I will continue to lift, run, swim, play sports, surf, ski, climb and LIVE this life to the fullest and enjoy every single moment!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Botches Basic American History In Most Humiliating Way

The conspiracy theorist lawmaker was schooled on social media after getting simple details badly wrong.

www.yahoo.com

Conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tried to celebrate American history over the Independence Day weekend ― but got schooled by critics after she botched some basic details.

But as a community note tacked onto her message pointed out: “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, Aaron Burr, Paul Revere, and George Washington were not signers of the Declaration of Independence.”

In other words, Greene ― who once spoke at a white nationalist event ― got six of the eight wrong.

Critics gave her a history lesson on X:

What a fun squabble, this Xwitter squabble between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer.

It started with
Kamala Harris on X: "As a young girl ..." / X

As a young girl visiting my grandparents in India, my grandfather took me on his morning walks, where he would discuss the importance of fighting for equality and fighting corruption. He was a retired civil servant who had been part of the movement to win India’s independence.

My grandmother traveled across India—bullhorn in hand—to speak with women about accessing birth control.

Their commitment to public service and fight for a better future live on in me today.

Happy National Grandparents Day to all the grandparents who help shape and inspire the next generation.

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer responded:
Laura Loomer on X: "If @KamalaHarris wins, ..." / X

If @KamalaHarris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.

 

[lpetrich]

That was too much for MTG:
Marjorie Taylor Greene on X: "This is appalling and extremely racist. ..." / X

This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA.

This does not represent President Trump.

This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever.

@LauraLoomer should take this down.

then

Little bit of a history lesson for a few of you.
Laura and I used to be friends going back to 2018. I used to defend her and support her like in this post here.
I endorsed her first run for congress, donated to her, and fundraised for her and then she lost.
Then when she ran again against Daniel Webster, I told her to run in another district, so she could win, but she refused. When I didn’t endorse her, she turned on me and began attacking me and lying about me.
I still advocated for her to get her former Twitter account back, now X account.
Laura has lied so much about me and others like Matt Gaetz, even though we are Pres Trump’s most loyal and fierce elected Members of Congress.
She breaks a few good stories here and there but there are many others she embellishes or flat out lies.
However her attacks have no bearing on me, nor I am concerned with what she says. As a matter of fact, outside of a bubble on this platform, most regular people don’t know who she is.
But when it comes to post that are flat out racist, hateful, and make President Trump look bad, she needs to be responsible and delete them.

Laura Loomer responded

Laura Loomer on X: "Hey @mtgreenee ..." / X

Hey @mtgreenee

Remember when you destroyed your family so you could have sex with a Zangief cosplayer?

Tell me again how you and the Arby’s in your pants are representatives of the GOP?

You couldn’t even run your own family.

Don’t tell me how to run my FREE SPEECH!

 Zangief the Red Cyclone is a character in Capcom's  Street Fighter series of video games.

Laura Loomer on X: "It’s really funny ..." / X

It’s really funny how @mtgreenee (a raging anti semite who said Jews use space lasers to control the world) wants to pretend like I’m a “racist” because I made a funny joke about Kamala Harris making cooking videos and buying curry spice at an anti Trump spice shop and I mocked how she uses her Indian mom as a way to dodge questions.

I won’t be apologizing for having a sense of humor.

I also believe in free speech, @mtgreenee which you clearly don’t support.

I get it. You’re jealous of me because despite your planted hit pieces about me in the @nytimes, I won.

Get over it.

Right-wingers often try to explain away their offensive comments as jokes, complete with implying that their critics don't have a sense of humor.

 

[lpetrich]

Laura Loomer on X: "Once again, ..." / X

Once again, @mtgreenee who is extremely jealous and vindictive over the fact that she wasn’t successful in turning Donald Trump against me is now behaving like a leftist and accusing me of being “racist”.

Kamala Harris is on video calling herself Indian and saying she Cooks with curry.

She also refuses to speak to the media so there is a strong likelihood that she would set up a call center to avoid speaking to the press and being honest with the American people.

Hey MTG, speaking of racism, one of your former staffers told me you have a favorite word that starts with N .

What if the staffer has a video?

It’s rather ironic that MTG wants to call me a racist when MTG is a full blown ANTI SEMITE who believes that Jewish people use Space lasers to control the world.

Along with being an anti semite, MTG is also a poor excuse for a Christian. Her marriage failed because she couldn’t keep her legs closed while she was a new member of Congress and was too busy Screwing some guy from her CrossFit.

She is not representative of the GOP or what it means to be America first.

Nobody talks about her anymore because she’s annoying and irrelevant and a sellout.

Hey @mtgreenee how come you weren’t at the debate?

Guess you gave up on Trump when he gave up on your boyfriend @SpeakerMcCarthy.

Don’t talk about representing Donald Trump when you paid for the Ye 2024 domain and used your campaign funds to orchestrate the dinner between Nick Fuentes and Kanye West.

I exposed you months ago and I’ll do again you trailer trash harpy.

Have they considered a duel?
