That’s an election, however. In this case if the Democrats are getting ticked that a woman who talks gleefully of killing them along with belief is several conspiracies that are just embarrassing the GOP may decide defending her against removal is not a hill worth dying on.

She was running around the Capitol hallways (caught on the news) insisting legislators had to swear in using the Bible and not the Koran and she was going to track them down and see if they would swear in on the Bible.

Maybe she expected they would shrink away in fear lest they burst into flames. The reporters tried to tell her there was no requirement they had to swear in using a Bible but like all these nut-jobs she simply insisted they were wrong.

I wished the reporters had followed up because I'd like to have seen the legislators the woman was trying to find laugh in her face.

Here we go (sorry if it's already posted):

The Independent: Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to force Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to retake their oaths on a Bible in a resurfaced video It doesn't say what happened.

I wonder if she's going to do a good job for her constituents. I wouldn't think so, but a good staff can help.

If they don’t all quit.

I'd think David Hogg (the young man she accosted in the video) could develop a massive following. I haven't seen him in the media for quite some time, but the recent interview shows him with a Moses-level head of hair and practically channeling the WASP idealization of Jesus. He's articulate, charismatic, and obviously highly tolerant of ********.

No one tell her that Jewish members are usually sworn in on Bibles containing only the Old Testament.....

She is going to make her district the laughing stock of the country, ....

Anyone tell her about the Dem from Hawaii who is a Buddhist and was sworn in on the Buddhist Scriptures?

That's OK because it's still "Godly".:rolleyes:

They already are for having elected her.

You mean Mazie Hirono? Well, she's not the only one!

So that's why "Jewish Space Laser" is trending on Twitter this morning.

as so many like her, Marjorie is running around naked in a thunderstorm blaspheming, hoping to get struck by lightning to prove that God exists.

Hopefully, God will oblige her.

no, because that would prove her point.

Better for her to get pneumonia.

Yeah, next thing you'll be trying to tell me is that she is a 9/11 Truth "no planer"....

Oh, wait

This is why I've enjoyed the JREF/ISF forums over the years - learning stuff. Often directly but also when branching off to other sources, Wikipedia in this case has an interesting page on the issue of taking the oath.

How is it that prominent commentators or, worse, members of Congress can be so ignorant of the US Constitution? More likely they actually know that "no religious test shall ever be required..etc" and they are playing to a particular audience.

Not a huge fan of Bill Maher but this is funny. Also NSFW.

They (at least most of them like Hawley and Cruz) aren't ignorant. They are willing to lie because they know that their primary base is dumb enough to believe their lies. Also, the thing about politics is you don't really have to be smart or competent to get elected to office. You need a good team of PR guys and just tap into the collective psyche of your base and feed their paranoia and insecurities.

Bwhahahha. "Lauren Boebert is someone you may have already thought about if you ever wondered what would happen if Michelle Bachmann smoked bath salts!"

Loved the whole clip. :thumbsup:

GOP Congresswoman Blamed Wildfires on Secret Jewish Space Laser

Is she alone in believing some or all of those things or are there other GOP House and Senate members who are on record saying similar things ?

Motto of the Jewish Space Laser Command

You think (((we))) have a Latin Motto? :eek:

Also, who leaked this? :mad:

Greene is scrubbing past social media posts.

In what respect do you think she doesn't represent her constituents?

Saw a bit this morning on how someone interviewed people from her district. They were asked how they felt about the conspiracy theories. The response? Noah was accused of believing in conspiracy theories, too. Who can tell what's right?

Jesus ******* christ. We're in a time when this-

-doesn't even work as parody anymore; we really are through the looking glass here, people.

Let's just note that Hawley graduated from Yale Law School, Cruz from Harvard, and they both clerked for Supreme Court justices. They do understand the Constitution. They just don't like it.

Honestly- why would she think that would help? It's bad enough to have said (and believed) stupid things that make you look like a fool; but trying to erase them from an internet that never forgets is just admitting loudly that you know they were stupid things and that you're a fool.

I'd like to see her try to get Kustoff and Zeldin to swear on the Christian bible and see how that played.

So Noah conspired with God? I don't think they understand the difference between a prediction (not that it's any less insane) and a CT.

Once one of these memes gets started, everyone of that ilk uses it, like Rand Paul claiming the impeachment trial of Trump is unconstitutional.

ftfy

I've found the trouble with your carburetor, Mrs. Ferguson.

No, I interpreted it as "God is going to destroy the world" is the conspiracy theory that Noah believed, and all his friends mocked him.

They put "Jews used lasers to start wildfires" as equivalent to the claim "God is going to destroy the world." Granted, so do I, but they actually think the second one is true so we can't rule out the possibility of the former.

But then, at least some of them really are just that stupid. Watch this guy go into brain freeze for several seconds when trying to process the idea that there is no law requiring swearing on a bible:

That right there is a deeply, deeply stupid man.

I find it cutely ironic that so many of the people who have the deepest faith in the Bible pronounce it as the "Babble".

Damn, that would make a great card in the "Illumanatti" card game.

I despise Moore, but poking fun at his regional dialect is a bit much.
Unless you are trying to be Professor Henry Higgins...

I would not bet money on that.
