Her problem is she is pretty much a one trick pony and the trick has already gotten old.
First time you do something outrageous it has shock value but by the fourth or fifth time it has become boring.

So are you saying she would never make a good hooker?

MTG ponies up!

Rep. MTG introduces ‘Fire Fauci’ Act & ‘We Do Not Comply’ Bill.

https://www.oann.com/rep-mtg-introdu...t-comply-bill/

Hah!!

OAN is definitely my first source for in-depth analysis on new US legislation. :rolleyes:

And then this: ...does she actually know how the bill process actually works in her country??!

The limp, sagging, fruitless, failing pair of bills that Marjorie wants to get off her chest should be of no concern or consequence to anyone.

(Full disclosure: If she were a man, I would have done dick jokes.)

Greene also posted a video of some CrossFit workout (with some terrible form according to many fitness people) and declared this was her COVID prevention.

Because, y’know, no athlete has caught COVID to date, all those NFL & NHL players must have just been slacking off

...

What is it with these people and infectious disease? I thought over the last hundred years or so medical science had pretty much established how they are transmitted. Greene recommends lifting weights and doing pull ups as protection (instead of face masks and vaccines)?

Unbelievable.

She was competitive and highly ranked in CrossFit some years ago, so she would be doing these stupid "kipping" pull-ups from experience. Just another example of why the CrossFit cult is stupid and can cause lots of injuries - you look at a pull-up as being wrong, but they do it that way intentionally. Because it's a cult.

I saw somewhere mention that Greene is calling vaccination confirmation "Biden's mark of the beast." Class and poetry combine.

I saw this the other day. I keep reminding myself that it's 2021, but it won't take.

The mark of the beast is part of a failed prediction of the apocalypse that was supposed to take place 2000 years ago, but it also was supposed to appear on the hand or the forehead.

You know, where those stupid red hats go.

Actually my favorite part is the "fascism or communism or whatever" and "I call it Corporate Communism"

You can call something a "square triangle" if you want, doesn't actually mean anything though.

Has anyone asked MTG's parents if she was dropped on her head as a baby? Or was kicked in the head by a horse? Or played football without a helmet? Or hit herself in the head with a hammer repeatedly? It would explain a lot.

And I'm not talking once but over and over... like for a whole day?

The Mark of the Beast is those UPC bar codes you find on consumer products.

Also - best response to her video on Twitter -

The women's ignorance is simply incredible.

Noted slacker and obvious total weakling Drew McIntyre, shown here after winning the WWE Championship by not being as fit as Majorie Tylor Green, which is obviously why he caught COVID.

If MTG is trolling I'm interested in the psychological tricks to troll the trolls. But I usually hesitate to label someone a troll. I can't always tell who's trolling and who's not.

If someone really can't see the fallacies in their thinking that's a pity, but some people IMO use fallacies as a distraction, knowing some people will be determined to educate them about various fallacies and errors of fact. But if the errors and fallacies are deliberate, reason probably isn't going to help because the lies and fallacies are a well-calculated attempts to provoke a reaction.

MTG probably knows elected officials don't need to swear on a bible, but it won't help to point out she's wrong. Her remarks serve a dual purpose: to get the lie widely accepted by her fans, and to get a rise out of people who value facts and sound reasoning. So just say something peripheral like, "Omg, I sure needed to hear this. Does it have to be the KGV? I need to know because I'm buying Bibles for a courthouse."

(I wrote this because I think the remark about CrossFit is hilarious. Take what she says and run with it - but obliquely, in a direction she didn't plan on going).

For some reason, your post reminded me of this call to a UK talk show

I AGREE

You all have to cut Marj some slack.

It's not like she has anything else to do. Like committee work or anything.

So she has to invent things to work on by herself.

She could check herself into a mental health in-patient facility and get some help. Maybe shock therapy would help. Maybe not. But it couldn't hurt. And I'd pay to watch.

:dl:

IMO, Taylor-Greene one of three things

1. A racist, anti-Semitic, Q-nut, conspiracy theorist.

2. A complete, buffoon, way over at the far-red end of the Spectrum of Stupid.

3. Both 1 and 2 above.

My pick is number 3

That's what it's always been about. I don't think most are necessarily driven by literal cash (though who knows), but they want to build their political capital. It's just easier to get famous these days.

I think when people delete tweets or IG posts they're showing an IMO suspicious compulsion to manipulate their public images. Which they absolutely have a right to do; I just think it smacks of a lack of integrity.

We haven't seen the end of the pitfalls of social media ;) ! With luck it will eventually trigger some degree of skepticism of the images people are trying to build.

Which is what she wants, so, effective messaging.

For now.

I just want to see these vipers turn on each other.

Maybe she's bipolar or something. The problem is, if she has a psychotic break, how would anyone know? I wonder that about a lot of these schmoes.

Then what's the point?

Sadly, stupidity and ignorance are not treatable treatable mental illnesses..

Or what are legal congressional acts by the supreme court?

See United States v. Lovett where exactly that you can't be paid a salary law was ruled unconstitutional.

I like pointing and laughing at this clown as much as the next person, but I think these characterizations of her being an idiot or insane really miss the mark.

It doesn't matter that her proposed bills are nonsense and have no chance of passing. It doesn't matter that her impeachment bill for Biden was a dead end.

These are political stunts intended for her base, and her base doesn't really care about effectiveness, they care about belligerence. If anything, MTG is cementing her popularity with the reactionary voters that are increasingly the base of the conservative movement in this country.

I don't think this is necessarily true. For example, I don't think there is any way in hell she would survive a primary challenge. It would be really easy for a challenger to use the "we may agree with her positions, but clearly she is toxic. You need someone in congress who can actually represent your interests, not someone who gets ignored. Elect me and I will not only represent you, but I will maintain the ability to actually get something done."

She wasn't voted on to be effective, she was elected to troll the libs. No one else could do that job as well. She is a lock, because she is the most in touch with the republican base.

I think you're giving the primary voters far too much credit. They live in an alternate reality.

3/4 of self identified Republicans believe there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election. These people are not reasonable, and they don't want reasonable representatives. They want peacocking idiots like Trump and MTG and Boebert and so on. They reactionary freaks stoking the fires of the culture war.

How does the GOP square this with their usual stance on corporations? That's so weird.

It doesn't. It squares perfectly with their usual stance on "Hypocrisy is awesome because you get your way all the time."

The Republicans are all about culture war now. You get strange things like Marco Rubio giving tentative support to the workers trying to unionize the Bessemer, Alabama Amazon warehouse, not because Rubio is pro-union, but because he thinks sticking it to Amazon/Bezos is a good thing.

I think any savvy Republican saw the 2016 Trump takeover of the party and correctly concluded that the era of "principled" conservatives is over. It's all about instinct now, not ideas.

I'd think Democrats would support Amazon unionisation. Shouldn't Rubio be against it?

From his own mouth, totally incoherent nonsense where he backs into supporting the union because Amazon is too woke and culture war or something.

It's all about pleasing the conservative id, there's no principles anymore.
