Science is only a theory. :rolleyes:

Can you change the title of a thread you start?
I would like to change the title of this thread to "The Marjorie Green/Lauren Boebert Thread".

Seconded.

BTW my last post is a serious question: Is there someway I can change the title of a thread I created?

I think you need to DM a mod.

More batcrap insanity from Taylor Green:

Holy ****! If that isn't 1000% absolutely bat **** crazy then nothing is!

Sanity is Fake News.

Taylor Greene has been appointed to the House Education and Labor Committee despite her claiming that the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, "weren't real" but were "false flag" operations intended to drum up support for gun control. She is one crazy biatch.

Who in the republican leadership did that?

The House Republican conference which is headed my Liz Cheney. I don't know who within the conference came up with that bright idea.

It's hard to understand why embracing lunacy like this isn't treated as a true psychiatric disorder, rendering someone unfit to hold any responsible public or private job, care for children, etc., etc.

It's a heavily Repub district. But she ran in the Repub primary against eight other candidates. This is anoher argument for rank-choice voting. She won 40% of the primary vote, but that means 60% of the voters wanted somebody else. If they could have named a second or third choice, she might not have been the one to go to the run-off.

The fact that she could even get 40% of the vote is scary, especially when the candidate getting the next amount of greatest votes was a die hard Trump supporting neurosurgeon.

I think the "mainstream" in the US need to acknowledge that QAnon is firmly entrenched in the GOP and that its influence is only going to grow. We've seen it before with religious fundamentalists and with the Tea Party, the Republican Party is very good at embracing what appear to be fringe movements and then moving its centre (or perhaps extending its boundaries) to make them quite usual in short order.

That Taylor Greene has been appointed to the House Education and Labor Committee is a clear nod that she, and her views, have been very quickly embraced by the Republican Party. Heck, her QAnon views are not so different than the view that the election was stolen and that's Republican Party policy these days. :mad:

She should be removed from office. No seriously.

She can't be in a position of public leadership.

Why not ?

She represents the views of a substantial minority of one of the US' two major political parties. IMO as with President Trump she is just a symptom and if you were to remove her, she'd rapidly be replaced with someone with similar, or even more extreme, views.

I think what the US and the rest of the Western world needs to think about is how such a ridiculous conspiracy theory could get sufficient traction that it has become a major force in politics.

You convinced me.

The House should vote to remove a substantial minority of one of the US' two major political parties.

I don't think that QAnon is going to grow. I think it's a flash in the pan. Sure, there will be the die hard whackadoodles; there always are. But that's just like there will always be the birthers, the 9/11 and moon landing truthers but it's not going to go mainstream GOP. MTG is still going to be a nutter even among the majority of the GOP in Congress and they'll laugh at her behind closed doors even while appointing her to the House Education and Labor Committee because if there's one thing the GOP does for the most part it's follow Reagan's Eleventh Commandment "Thou shall not speak ill of another Republican"...at least in public.

I agree with The Don that Q is here to stay, if as nothing more than an anchor that other pet CTs will have to attach themselves in some way.

I mean, if proof were needed that QAnon is an amazingly successful trolling campaign, the name "frazzledrip" should suffice.

Well... alrighty then. [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

I caught a couple minutes of a Pelosi press conference this morning. Someone asked about that and she was geunuinely pissed off. Irate, even.

Marjorie Taylor Greene penned conspiracy theory that a laser beam from space started deadly 2018 California wildfire

The GOP leaders in the house stuck her in the commitees where she could do the lead damage. You have to give every congressperson some commitee assignments and education and labor are among the least powerful commitees..

She’s from a safely red district, if the GOP was wise, or even tired of her crap already, they’d let her get tossed and just get another Republican elected there.

We all know what happened last time far-rightwing nutty party full of conspiracy theories that entered mainstream took power.

Further, she will be assigned "administrative" duties - pencil-sharpening and covfefe-fetching. Actually, if they ask for her to get their covfefe from, say, a specific Maryland cafe, she can be physically out of the room for a looooong time.

Further confirmation (if any was needed) that she is a total whackjob!

Put her on "gardening leave" !

That might be true, but her history should disqualify her from being anywhere around schools. There are other insignificant committees.

And? I thought that was to be assumed.

That is what they eventually did with Steve King: they bankrolled a challenger in the primaries who beat King.
The district is a Mickey Mouse GOP districti...they would elect Mickey Mouse if he ran on the GOP ticket ( and I hastent oadd there are pleny of Mickey Mouse Democraticf Districts) so they have nohting to lose by getting rid of her.

Ya gotta give here credit though; only a month in office and she has already out Steve King'd Steve King.

I would like to thank the people who are posting here on Green's latest insanities. They are coming so frequentlly that keeping this thread up to date on my own was becoming a real chore.

Heck, she was ticking off Crenshaw just days after the election.

That's a good theory, but IIRC the party did fund her primary opponent and she still won. Her district wanted a dangerous loon and they got one.
