MTG is now campaigning for Biden

[tractor]

Did anyone else see this story? Apparently she was trying to say how terrible he was because he was following down the same path at Hoover and FDR by trying to level the playing field of social justice and help those who were overlooked by society.

Biden retweeted the speech and said something like "I approve of this message" it will be interesting to see how she tries to put a spin on it.

[resolution]

I'm not sure what she was trying to accomplish there. Are there really that many people who think addressing education, health care, and rural poverty are bad things?

[laterbloomer]

Wow! His team couldn't write a better campaign ad. Is there anyone that thinks that stuff is bad? Serious question.

[resolution]

I've been thinking about that, since I refuse to sign into Twitter to see the replies. I think maybe my neighbor across the street would hate those things? He finally took down his "Trump 2020 Stop the Bullshit" banner and replaced it with a "Trump 2024 Make liberals cry again" banner. I'm still trying to figure out how someone could be pleasant when you pass them on the street but so mean spirited that they are hanging attacks on the side of their house.

I live around a lot of them - so I think the argument would be “that’s commie crap” or “socialist crap” - we don’t need the government trying to control everything, just let the free market control the economy and rely on charities to help the truly poor (but most people who claim to be poor are just lazy, and helping them find free food/housing only encourages the laziness.

If we took away all those crutches, our taxes would go to nearly nothing, the economy would surge, there would be jobs for anyone willing to work, and those not willing to work should just die and reduce the surface population, as Scrooge would say.

I just saw it this morning, and I'm just twitterpated about this.

She reminds me of those memes that state "I don't think about what I am going to say. I like to be as surprised as anyone else".

Anyone see the news blurb that she also sent some minors Hunter Biden nudes?  Apparently she also showed them at a committee meeting.  

Who cares?  Hunter Biden is NOT an elected official.  If he wants to pay for a sex and make a tape out of it, who cares?  If you are going to get so pissy about this, then perhaps we should start the discussion about Matt Gaetz and his 17 year old.

I don’t feel like researching it to provide back up, but are there not some laws involved that were broken with those particular actions of hers? 

[djAdvocate]

who cares?  the same people who pass laws against dildos, cross dressing, and cohabitation.

Sending nudes to minors?  Absolutely.   But this was only one blub i saw coming across my newsfeed.  I couldn’t find it again to determine veracity.   However, showing nudes to the committee meeting is not breaking any laws.

She sent a video to those who have signed onto her constituents email list. There is no age limitation to be on that list. There is an assumption being made that there are minors on the list. I don't know the exact content of the video.

That was a dumbass thing to do.  But…..she is.

What I don’t understand is why anyone cares about Hunter Biden nudes.  Last time I looked, he wasn’t elected to office.

I suppose it gives her gay constituents something to admire? As they say, there's something for everyone...

“The most durable narratives are not the ones that stand up to fact-checking. They’re the ones that address our deepest needs and desires,” journalist George Packer once acknowledged. But, he warned, “when facts become fungible, we’re lost.”



These days, in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, conspiracy theories are in the saddle, and facts have become fungible.

Let them keep running their stupid mouths so the public can get a glimpse of the crazies they have elected.

I think Hunter could call it revenge porn - which is illegal.

WATCH: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene fights court challenge to her reelection

Politics Updated on Apr 22, 2022 3:56 PM EDT — Published on Apr 22, 2022 9:09 AM EDT
ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was hostile during testimony Friday in a hearing on her eligibility to run for reelection, saying she did not remember liking and making various social media posts surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol last year and accusing an opposing lawyer of speculating and twisting her words.

If her memory is so bad, maybe she should have a Neurologic evaluation before she is allowed to run. Just like the right wing keeps saying about Biden. But, alas, unfortunately she is just a liar.

[happyhoix]

Marge’s campaign manager stole donations meant to buy bottled water for the victims of the East Palestine train derailment- about 150,000 dollars. Ohio got a settlement from him to pay part of it back and pay a fine.

Classy people she hires. So far she hasn’t commented. Don’t expect she will.

Greene made at her Floyd County Town Hall on Thursday, when she said she would not vote to fund the government if Congress does not vote on an impeachment inquiry into the president, defund "Biden's weaponization of government," eliminate any COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates and eliminate U.S. funding for Ukraine's war against Russia.

Wonder if she stamped her feet and held her breath while she was having this fit?  
Will they start an impeachment inquiry?  Will they shut down the government?  All their threats and demands seem like campaigning for Biden.

Naw I live in her district, a solid 50% of the voters love how obnoxious and pugnacious she is to the ‘demoncrats’ - another 25% would vote for a three legged Republican dog rather than vote for a Dem (baby killers). Her seat here is secure. 

However she’s thinking of not running again so that she can be Trump’s VP. THAT’s what she’s campaigning for. 


Unfortunately, she’s not smart enough to realize that Trump would never pick a female running mate who isn’t at least an 8 and who looked ‘straight out of central casting”, and he would never pick a running mate of either sex who would upstage him in trying to seize the media spotlight. 

Plus, if he still has any savvy campaign advisors, and if he’s is still listening to campaign advisors, you want to pick a VP who attracts a part of the voting public who isn’t already in your pocket. That’s why Trump picked Pence - for the evangelicals. Marge ONLY appeals to the MAGA base. I don’t think having her on the ticket would even guarantee Trump would win Georgia, since the GOP in this state tends to vote for who they want, not necessarily who Trump wants. 

So I don’t think Marge has a shot at VP, but she’s also eager for a cabinet position. My hope is she goes ahead and decides to not run for the House this cycle, confident she will be given some plum job in a Trump administration, and my district votes in a studious, intelligent, dedicated public servant GOPer (if she a think still exists) to replace her, and Greene will eventually end up following Sara Palin into the D list celebrity lists, so I never have to think about her again.

A Georgia state Rep, Colton Moore, from the same NW area as MTG, has been running his mouth about how the GA House had to impeach Fani Willis- something the GA reps have not shown much interest in doing.

So he doxed members of his own party - they aren’t pleased.

www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/georgia-republicans-turn-on-grifter-colton-moore-for-stupid-defense-of-trump/ar-AA1ggNbA

One of the GOP leaders in the House said Moore should get a crappy office and a worthless secretary 😃

Further adding to the general contempt our area receives.

[happyhoix]

Back to Marge, I didn’t realize a bunch of the GOP is pissed at Marge for breaking with the freedom caucus to align with McCarthy. She had a town hall over the weekend in her district and over half the venue was empty.

Maybe we do have a Chance.

It is hard to believe that someone this stupid could be a member of Congress.  It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry:


Because we live in an age of near-unfathomable stupidity, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Farcical) sat down with reviled conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over the weekend and revealed THE TRUTH about this year’s rain-and-mud-soaked Burning Man festival.



The first part of the previous sentence – the part in which a bafflingly influential Republican lawmaker lets herself be interviewed by an unhinged quack who has been ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion for defaming the families of eight school shooting victims – would, in a normal version of American politics, be a scandal. But there’s nothing normal about our politics these days, so let’s focus on the second part, which somehow manages to be even nuttier.

Here are the actual words that fell out of Greene’s mouth: “There are 73,000 or 75,000 people in the Nevada desert now at this Burning Man. They're locked in. They're not allowed to leave. And they're basically, probably being brainwashed that climate change is the cause of all of it, it's the root of all evil and it's going to destroy the earth and they’re feeling the panic.”

She continued: “After this is over at Burning Man and these 75,000 people disperse and they go back home, they're gonna have these stories to tell and how terrible it is and how we have to do everything possible to stop climate change, it's caused by humans and it's carbon. And it’s the amount of carbon that we put out. It’s manufacturing. It’s our gas and diesel engines.”

"God has a way of making sure everyone knows who God is," Greene said. "There's 75,000 people in the Nevada desert now at this Burning Man. They're locked in." So an all knowing God made this happen. The result of his actions? "And they're basically, probably, being brainwashed that climate change is the cause of all of it; it's the root of all evil and it's going to destroy the earth." Doesn't this suggest God wanted that lesson to taught? (Have to admit I don't get the whole religion thing.) link

Like anyone should listen to Marge’s religious opinions. 

She used to co-own a gym, before she got the political bug, and had affairs with different guys there. Then there is her divorce and taking up with a new BF - not the conservative, evangelical thing to do. Plus the nasty name calling that comes out of her mean girl mouth - pretty sure not WWJD.
