Isuspect she is trying to win points with Fundie Protestents,for whom hatred of the Catholic Church goes back a long,long,time.
This is a huge headache for the GOP leadership, now that Green has managted to alienate a large group of Republicans.
But she is convinced that "No Popery Here" is to her political asvantage.

Well at least in this case, (some of) the people she's accusing of being pedophiles actually are. I guess if you accuse everybody and their dog of being a pedophile, eventually you will be right by accident.

As a Colorado resident, I want to thank Marjorie Taylor Greene for edging out Lauren Boebert as the worst member of Congress (Boebert represents my state but not my district). Of course, Boebert is more than capable of taking the "prize" back.

Galaxie 29th April 2022 12:37 PM

Supposedly Greene and Boebert have not been on friendly terms lately:

...the two tangled over Greene’s appearance at a February event organized by a known white nationalist.

Their confrontation grew so heated that at least one onlooker feared the Greene-Boebert back-and-forth might escalate beyond the verbal cage match had another board member not stepped in to de-escalate...
Color me surprised. They seemed like a perfect match.

Jim Acosta was harassing her, seriously? This is what harassment looks like. emptyg trying to gain entry to AOC's office to thank her for "killing babies."

AOC meet emptyg

The same day she filmed the above video (which Greene has since deleted) she took her crew to the offices of Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Greene was there to tell the first two Muslim women elected to Congress "they weren't 'official' because they had been sworn in on the Quran.”

True. But how did they get there? Someone, somewhere, took their advice, agreed with it, and voted for them.

Unless...of course ;) ...the idiots cheated their way in... Heh, that would be totally awks, finding out that EmptyG or Boebert or Cawthorne were elected as a result of voter fraud. :rolleyes:

If I'm not mistaken, one of her crew in that AOC video was in the Capitol building on Jan 6.

mgidm86 29th April 2022 10:05 PM

I just read her Wikipedia page out of curiosity, not all of it but quite a bit. It definitely focuses on her negatives, I mean it is 100% negative (I don't know if she has any positives, but as a skeptic...) and a lot of it was familiar to me. It mentions every little thing I can think of that has been discussed here.

It is disturbing that someone like this even exists. That people like this are admired and voted for is frightening.

emptyg's war on the Democratic Party continues. She's all amped up against against H.R. 350 the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022. (Surprise!) She claims:
Quote:

It creates a prosecution arm in the DOJ to target “domestic terrorism” defined in the code as “activities that involve acts dangerous to human life.” Spreading covid “misinformation” could be considered “dangerous to human life.” Twitter link
She finishes her rant by tweeting:

Make no mistake about it. The Democrats are communists and they are playing for keeps.
Previously Greene said Democrats were socialists. Now they've gone from socialists to full-blown communists? The sad thing is, this is nothing more than name-calling. There's nothing behind it. What is she going to tweet next?

Democrats really suck. They are the suckiest. They suck so bad that they...really really SUCK!!! ;)

There has been stronger and stronger evidence that her day-to-day thinking is no longer joining up coherently. It's paranoid, and it's schizophrenic. No connections with reality as it is generally understood, and completely afraid of lots of imaginary things "coming to get her". Or in short, she is lunatic babbling.

So are there not services in Georgia who can deal with someone like this? An intervention and a secure detention, surely.

The reason she talks like that is that it is very common and accepted in her social circles.

Congress must pass my bill, HR 7308 Justice for Vaccine Victims Act of 2022 to investigate all VAERS Covid vaccine reports & remove liability protections to allow people to seek damages.

Too bad there's no vaccine for stupid.

Is Greene stupid or vicious? The other day she tweeted about opposing the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022, that would target “activities that involve acts dangerous to human life.” Greene tweeted
Quote:

Spreading covid “misinformation” could be considered “dangerous to human life.”
Here she is doing exactly that. As Fact Check dot org reported:
Quote:

A Pfizer document recently released by the Food and Drug Administration describes adverse events reported following vaccination and attests to the continued safety of the company’s COVID-19 vaccine. A popular video and other online posts, however, incorrectly imply that the vaccine caused the events. Many posts also wrongly assume that a long list of health issues Pfizer is monitoring for occurred and were due to vaccination. Fact Check link
Is Greene right to have some concern? Yes. But she goes way beyond that, ignoring the fact that the adverse effects are NOT linked to the person having been vaccinated. That fact is not hard to comprehend. By refusing to acknowledge that simple fact she crosses the line from concern to deliberately spreading misinformation. Greene is ignoring it for political purposes and her willful ignorance is exactly why she was kicked off Twitter. Ignoring the dangers associated with that kind of misinformation is really despicable.

She introduced her bill, HR 7308 Justice for Vaccine Victims Act of 2022, in late March. Despite the wording in the bill's title it would merely "direct the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate and report on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System." The bill is based on a lie and has gone nowhere. In late April she finally found a co-sponsor.

Stacyhs 4th May 2022 06:01 PM

I suspect MTG merely repeats what she reads in cherry-picked, taken out of context, right wing and/or anti-vaccine sites or what she's told by people who read those sites. She's not bright enough to do her own research or honest enough to care about being accurate. She's a new type of GOP Congressmember: the Troll. Boebert and Cawthorne belong in that category as well.

There's your mistake. Don't assume she reads anything. She calls looking at the mean pictures on right-wing meme sites "doing her own research".

The final decision is still up to Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (who is a Republican), but Georgia Administrative Law Judge, Charles Beaudrot, who heard the challenge has ruled for emptyg. Beaudrot found the challengers to Greene remaining on the ballot had failed to prove their allegation -- Greene engaged in insurrection or gave aid to those who did -- by a preponderance of evidence. But we knew it wasn't going to be that easy, right?

Still, I think she's both an idiot and dangerous, and I believe she has been damaged politically by the hearing, the publicity and, especially, the optics when she was on the stand. Engaging in what New York City police refer to as 'testilying."

I see the ever creative MTG has also now come out with the allegation that the Catholic Church is controlled by Satan. Not that that will stop them all from joining hands while they shout curses at the teenagers at the clinics.

But it is rather funny in a horrible sort of way to watch her demand that they apologize for demanding that she apologize.
