I think Republicans have learned what it takes to be a star in the party. Say and act as outlandish as you can....that's what got Trump elected. I think if Trump runs in 2024, she'd be his perfect running mate! Yes. It’s all about being belligerent and zero substance.

Not that I suggest it but I wonder if Marjorie Taylor Greene has ever been sucker punched in the mouth.

Today, Marge claimed Pelosi making the House wear a mask is like the Germans making Jews wear gold stars.
Yes that is totally the same thing. 🙄
So glad she’s spending her efforts as my representative working for really important things.

I think they do. They just feel entitled to put it on others instead of themselves. She doesn't want to wear a mask while at work. Yet she and others think its no big deal to force women who aren't them to carry a baby to term and care for it afterwards. But being special snowflakes, most Rep congress critters figure out how to force their mistresses to abort in spite of their public stand against abortion. They are systemic oppressors. Trump definitely knows how it works and I think she does too.

She's following Trump's playbook, say the most outlandish thing to get attention. And when all is said and done, this is what the Republican party has become, short on solutions for issues, big on lies to rile up the base: “The media like to act as though there’s this big civil war brewing in the Republican Party. Is it going to be the establishment or is it going to be the Trump populists,” Gaetz said. “Well, you know what? The civil war is over. We’ve won. This is Donald Trump’s Republican Party.” news.yahoo.com/reps-matt-gaetz-and-marjorie-taylor-greene-rally-in-maricopa-county-to-keep-big-lie-going-154601880.html

I don't know. Something seems seriously wrong with her. She lives in a reality that is different than the rest of us.

Trump gave them permission to crawl out from under their rocks and proudly share their thoughts. What's even worse is he showed them they can use it to get elected. This is the culmination of "everyone is entitled to their opinion" and "you have to be open to both sides". No no I don't. People like Greene are just plain wrong and need to be shamed till they scuttle back under their rocks. Views like this have no place in modern society.

it's worse than that.
as Gingrich said, "feelings are the new facts". what that portends is that they are given equal standing to the universe of ideas that is time-tested using ombudsmen, ethics, and rigorous standard. her fucking whimsy goes toe to toe with 200 year old ideas from political philosophy and ethics.

Madison Cawthorne, another one of those slick backed hair GOP Republicans, is claiming the British would not have surrendered to Washington at Yorktown if Washington had been wearing a mask.
Whatever the hell that means.

The incredibly stupid things that she advocates/retweets is positively head exploding. Ironically enough, a small amount of online research shows exactly what was said and how it got twisted for their means. Some are flat out lies.

I am not silly enough to think that liberals are perfectly correct about everything - but I would like to know the most egregious things we have wrong. Unfortunately, I suspect a lot of things are either fringe or incorrectly quoted.

I lurk, I don’t have an account. She doesn’t know I lurk, only because it gives me an idea of the crap she’s reading and give me a chance to counteract it.

It is about friggin' time and then to point fingers at the Democrats? Today: Washington, D.C. – House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) released the following statement: “Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling. “At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democratic Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “Americans must stand together to defeat anti-Semitism and any attempt to diminish the history of the Holocaust. “Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.” link

Well, took Mcarthy five days but he got there.
Another GOP house member sent Marge a flow chart on when something should be compared to now the Nazis treated the Jews (never) and now Marge is bitching about her, a fellow Republican.
The GOP could vote her out of the House. They won’t. Jellyfish spine disease.
