I doubt that. She isn't seen much on Fox, from what I hear. The few people I know who look at Fox had never heard of her until I mentioned her. She is not status quo and I think her true fans are very few.

I'm wondering if at some point the adults in the Republican room will start to silence these morons. Maybe if the next election is a disaster they will come to their senses. I don't think Trumpism is a good long term strategy. Of course I'm relatively sane. They seem to be waiting to see what happens.

Pfft ya well I can hope anyways. Hard to tell what's going on really because, like I said, I'm fairly sane.

Well, public exposure has certainly made them jittery. If you mean legal restraint then I think we are agreeing from different directions. They will indeed try to escape any noose by the simple expedient of tossing the useful idiots to the baying mob while they flee, even if only metaphorically.

Could be. We have already seen this tactic being rolled out. It's going to be as well received as the Twoofers of 9-11: There will be a few die-hard cross-eyed proponents but the majority of everyone else will look askance. The House may not want large numbers of members with legal problems, but a having a few might be palatable to "keep up appearances". The noisome troublemakers will be those few.



Trump Party. I'm suspecting a majority of the original GOP conservatives are coming round to the Cheney viewpoint that they can be deeply conservative but not in any way entertain this stupid 2020 election ****.



He's not a politician, so he is going to be a much easier sacrifice to the (so-called) baying mob.

IMO her views exactly match those of the mainstream GOP

• Election was stolen - check
• Overturn the election by force - check
• Liberal deep state - check
• They're coming for your guns - check
• They're oppressing Christians - check
• They're baby killing monsters - check
• Qanon conspiracies - check

In fact the only thing that springs to mind that separates her from the herd is that I don't recall her being openly racist - I may simply have missed it though :o

Who are these adults, and where have they been hiding ?

The exemplar is apparently Liz Cheney who is in a minority (of one ?) by being prepared to say that Biden won fair and square, admitting that Jan 6 actually happened and being prepared to be critical of the Jan 6 insurrectionists. IIRC she has been marginalised and shunned by the rest of the GOP in the House.

Any adults have received the message loud and clear. If you are in a safe "Red" state or district, your biggest risk to your career is being primaried by someone even more Trumpist than you. There's no incentive to behave like an adult even if you're inclined to do so (and I doubt whether there are many so are so inclined).

No matter how disastrous the election might be, they'll still get 45% of the House and Senate and they'll be resoundingly Trumpist. If Sinema and Manchin get their way, there's a real risk that Biden will get nothing achieved and the GOP may win back both houses.

It seems from this side of the pond that there are very few people like you in today's GOP. :o

I can't find any really current figure but back in the Spring it was "only" 53% of Republicans believe Trump is the "true president’". So they are not all deludedinsane. Just the majority.

In a quick and inattentive glance, I read that stricken-out last word as deludarians. It suddenly occurs to me that the lack of such a word in our language might be unfortunate.

Deludarian. I like it! :thumbsup:

I will consider it as a name for my next game character.

Hans :thumbsup:

I'm busy designing a passport for Deludaria. They will be available on-line for $500(US) shortly. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I love Deludarians! Can we just call them Dels for short?

Adam Kinzinger, who is also among the sane Republicans (has that become an oxymoron yet?), announced he will not be running for re-election.

He’s nothing but a DINO.

MTG steps in it again:

Will she suffer any negative consequences ?

She'll look like a fool, but it's just another day ending in Y.

“There are no words.”

Here’s one: moron.

We live in the age of alternate facts. As Mr. Giuliani described it:

I sure do hope that you are right about that noose tightening.

Unfortunately, I still have quite a few doubts that the top people who really deserve the noose will actually face anything so terribly serious.

After all, that stupid, idiotic, lying POS George W. Bush got away with mass murder, torture, and all sorts of other crimes after he started the Iraq War. And if Bush can get away with his terrible crimes, then I expect that Trump and his top lackeys will also get away with their terrible crimes.

Yeah sure right after Trump, Bannon, and everyone else does.

So no, never.

Just being laughed at.

I do think that there are some GOP who are embarrassed by her and think her a fool but they are too cowardly to say so. It might make Dear Leader upset if they do.

Bush's problem was primarily his trust in Liz Cheney's dad, along with Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz. He's simply not all that bright.

I agree. He was led around by the nose by those jerks.

Liz must have gotten ethics from her mother because she certainly didn't get them from "I shot you in the face so you need to apologize" Daddy.

While it is quite true that Bush Jr is quite stupid, however it is quite evident that Bush Jr has some very deep-seated motivations.

In this case, Bush Jr had always wanted to do something to show his father (who was the President, an Ambassador, a Director of the CIA, a war hero, a successful businessman, a Ivy League graduate, and so on) that his namesake son is a person of considerable worth.

And by settling the Iraq issue once and for all, Bush Jr could show his chops to both his father and his electorate.

Here’s another: treason

I suggest the following term for Honorable Marjorie Taylor Greene:

Treasonous Moron.

And by a happy coincidence, the very same term can be readily applied to her hero Donald J. Trump.

....and yet the party of treasonous morons look set to get control of the House and Senate in 2022. :confused:

Maybe so and maybe not. It is still too early to tell for sure.

In any event, I just hope that the elections are done honestly in order to give the people the government that they deserve.

The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.
 

I hope we can do better than that!

:D

I hope also hope that we can do better than that.

It's a sign of the times, surely, that G.W.Bush, whom I despise deeply and consider one of the worst presidents ever, a font of wrongness and corruption in nearly every way, seems like a breath of fresh air compared to some of his party's more recent representatives.

The have, if nothing else, succeeded in normalizing the awful. How we long for the days when we were only sucking the scum out of the barrel, before we got to the bottom.

While Dubya is a fool, he is not evil. He's a generally decent human being who made some very bad decisions but he's not a scumbag. On the other hand, you have Trump and his butt-kissing minions who are just plain evil.

I don't know where to put this, but apparently a crowd of somewhere around 75 QAnon people gathered at Dealey Plaza in Dallas today to await an appearance of JFK Jr.

https://twitter.com/stevanzetti/stat...41979362861057

I'm not making this up.

Sometimes, when I am at a restaurant, I look around and think, "All these other people here said, "Where do you want to go to eat?" and it was answered with this restaurant name. That's interesting."

But there are people who got up this morning and said, "Let's go over to Dealey Plaza because I heard that JFK Jr will be making an appearance." And they brought "Trump Kennedy 2024" flags with them.

Just a reminder, JFK Jr died in a plane accident in 1999.

There was a reply tweet that summed it up: Imagine being this divorced from reality.

That is weird even for the 'Q' nutjobs.

However, I guess that they are thinking about RFK, Jr. who is now a supporter of the Anti-Covid Vaccine movement.

No, they are thinking JFK Jr. They think that his death is actually a coverup for...something, I don't know what. They even have a guy who they insist is actually JFK Jr based on pictures. The guy naturally denies it, but that's what the real JFK Jr would say.

Yes, this is weird even for the nutjobs, but not as weird as you think.

Oh gosh!

The well of 'Q' stupidity keeps getting deeper every day.

As I posted in the CT subforum, some also brought "Trump Kennedy 2020" flags. I mean, there's still a chance, right?

ETA - The USA Politics and the conspiracy theories sub-forums can probably be merged at this point.

No - they've had "Trump - JFK Jr" t-shirts made for this.

I think a number of GOP voters are still in denial about what the GOP Has become.

What's really scary is these people vote. And you know for whom they vote. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It's not a well; it's a sink hole.

Some. But some aren't in denial and love it.

All the lunatics in one place! Why didn't someone round them up and commit them as a job lot?

Ok, since JFK Jr didn't show up in Dealey Plaza today, now the thinking is that he will come to the Rolling Stones concert in Dallas tonight. What ate the odds they think Keith Richard's is JFK Jr?

Again, I'm not making this up. They actually think JFK Jr is going to show up

The disconnect I find odd is that these people seem to assume JFK Jr. would be on their side. Combining Kennedy worship with T**** worship goes beyond mere stupidity into the florid lunacy of cargo cults and lizard queens.

Why the present tense? It has already been happening for a fairly long time.

I think they think he's turned on the Democrats, which is why he had to fake his death and go into hiding. Having lived his life as the ultimate Democratic insider, he'd have seen all the demonic stuff they were up to, and is now poised to bring the whole house of cards down.

Why it's taken him 22 years (and counting) to do this is a mystery.

Oh gosh! I am beginning to think that these 'Q' people have been watching too many Scooby Doo cartoons.

Come to think of it, just a few weeks ago MTG made a weird Scooby Doo reference on the floor of the US House of Representatives.

Because, history aside, it's current.

You are quite correct!

In fact, one can buy Trump/JFK, Jr. T-Shirts here:

https://www.amazon.com/Trump-JFK-Jr-.../dp/B092PB3HNB

I told you all, I'm not making this up.

This is the level of nuttery that is out there.

There was a non-trivial amount of people yesterday who absolutely said, "Let's go to Dealey Plaza because JFK Jr is going to show up there" and they thought he was going to support Donald Trump.

Or a sewer.

All the loonies in one place! Round them up gently and put them back in the asylum.
