Open anti-semitism and open islamaphobia.

The Democrats wouldn't be having to remove her from the committees if the cowardly Republicans had done what they should have done and removed her themselves. The removed Steve King as they should have but not MTG. Cowards.

I really don't get anti-semitism. Christianity is built on the Jewish faith. As for Jewish people, outside of ultra-orthodox or Hasidic communities there is little cultural differences these days. I had several Jewish friends in school and had no idea they were Jewish.

Seriously, they are worshipping the same fairy tale god, so why hate them?

They killed Jesus.

ETA: And like Democrats, they eat Christian babies.

They won't share the space lasers with me!!!!!!

I guess the days when Jews were defended because they have American political clout and fund raising power are over, or at least fading. No more trips to Vegas to kiss Adelson's ring.


Maybe they secretly agree with Hitler. I don't get it either but I think the 'they killed Jesus' is how they've been led to make Jews a fear monger target.


And she's off the committees. Intelligencer: House Votes to Deny Marjorie Taylor Greene Committee Assignments
This was a weird comment: I don't get that. :boggled:

(WA Examiner) Typical of a brat who was kicked off the team for bad sportsmanship: I'm not sure what she expected from said GOP colleagues. They didn't have the votes to block the Democrats.


It's clear she had a bigly hard time denying her beliefs or apologizing for them. Too soon I think.

And "all that freetime", I'm picturing her wandering the halls when everyone else has gone to the party.

Rejection of responsibility: It wasn't MY fault!

It's still very bizarre wording. "I was misled" also rejects self-blame.

Maybe she's not the most literate person, limited vocabulary and all that.

You're a bit premature. They haven't voted yet. You misinterpreted the headline which is poorly written. It can be read as a fait accompli or as something they are going to do. In this case, it's the latter.

Honestly, the fact that she feels she has to lie actually seems like an improvement to me. A week ago, she had no qualms about saying every stupid thing that came into her head. Today, someone or something prevailed in convincing her that spewing out nonsense was in some manner a bad idea.

That means either she's figured out that her ideas are hurting her (which means she doesn't have the support we worry she might have), or someone else figured that out and actually got her to see it (which also means she doesn't have the support we worry she might have).

The only way we're going to see a decrease in public officials like her supporting this nonsense is if they come to believe supporting nonsense is a losing proposition.

Hoyer just showed the House a huge picture of a tweet MTG sent out showing her holding an AR 15 and "the Squad" behind her titled " The Squad's Worst Nightmare".

This is not just garden variety "they killed our Lord Jesus" anti-semitism. These references to the Rothschilds really reek of Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion-league hatred. It is some concocted lie that Jews are hording all the money and power. And the space lasers, apparently.

I have a visceral wince when I see all the memes mocking the Space Laser thing. This needs to be taken seriously.

So far only three R House members have the courage to vote MTG off the committees. Sad. Very, very sad. Just goes to show how far the GOP has fallen.

News report I read said they did. 100% Party line with 1 Republican and 3 Democrats voting 'present' or something.

Here. I posted the link upthread as well.

See post #455.

Weird. We are clearly looking at different news reports.

From my link: Are you looking at the GOP vote which was before the House vote?

OK.... I see the problem. It's a really badly written headline: House Votes to Deny Marjorie Taylor Greene Committee Assignments. It's referring to a vote by the Dems to confirm her seat on the committees not to remove her from them. :D

They just now voted to remove her from them: 230 to 199

Done.

House Removes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene From Her Committee Assignments [npr.com]

The GOP is now one with MTG. That is going to help them in the Swing Districts and among Surbuban voters, who have to get to win.

Yeah,they are in special orders now, it's over.

Yeah, not just my bad I guess. :o Damn you reporters and your illiterate headlines. :p

Now the news is reporting about the GOP members who broke ranks and voted against Greene.

How long until MTG goes back to her old ways? About four days max, I think.

That's why the Jewish religion survived in Christendom. No other religious minorities were permitted, not even unorthodox Christianity. Christianity is moulded on the Roman Empire, and so is fundamentally intolerant. Jews appear to have been uniquely persecuted in Christianity because it went on so long : other persecutions were quick and complete.

Racial and political anti-semitism was created in Central Europe in the later 19th Century. It adopted the Protocols from the Russians, where it was actually written against Freemasons : they struck out "Freemason" and substituted "Jew". That was all about nationalism and racial purity - two of the 19th Centuries worst legacies.

Yep. Happens to the best of us! :blush::p

It seems inevitable that there'll be a Q faction in the House : the question is who will lead it?

Leopards don't change their spots. She can't help what she is any more than Trump, Cruz, or Lindsey can. She's crazy to the bone.

P of course

Would that be a re-created or resurgence situation? Lutheran Church seems to have "invented" it based on Luther's "The Jews and their Lies". And I don't claim to know enough to say if that would even be the oldest example of institutional widespread antisemitism.

Romans were incredibly tolerant of other religions. They allowed them to remain as long as they recognized the emperor as a god, too. That was the problem behind their intolerance of Christians: they refused to do so.

I predict she will keep quiet about all of the issues that gave her problems.

Hope it dies down if she ignores them long enough. She'll continue to press the "cancel culture" button.

I predict she'll join forces with Gaetz and other Trumpers and fit right in.

:thumbsup:

Some just posted a shot of "Q" from Star Trek with the caption:
"I am angry at stupid Earthlings besmirching my good name".

i don't. The last thing at earth she wants is to become just another back bencher. She will say and do outrageous things just to keep in the spotlight.

Interestingly, as far as I understand, the Kiwi slang for meth is "P"

Which I assume is related to pervitin

That, and I guarantee that she wasn't "allowed" to believe that by the mainstream media she and her fellow-travelers are constantly sneering at. Of course, that particular bit of dissonance will never register, much less ever be acknowledged- "oh! I guess I was wrong to trust CT sites and Twitter/Facebook posts for my information." She'll become an atheist baby-eating Democrat before that happens...

She and Trump are soul mates. I'd say he'd hit on her but she's too old for him at 46.

They already embrace the Trinity. Couldn't they just add one more?

Three's already a crowd. Four's just a damn orgy.

I predict Marjorie will face some backlash from the conspiranuts and the Q trippers for speaking against the faith.

the gop argument with her kind of came down to "we'll deal with our own, dems stay out of it" and then the dems said "ok deal with it then" and then what i imagine was a few hours of begging mccarthy got her to say in the last few hours since she last spoke she realized 9/11 happened like that would smooth everything over

now they have to defend her no matter how outrageous she gets, and she tried pretending to be a normal person pretty briefly and it didn't get her anywhere.

Very few of them, if at all. For the most part, she's a "populist" hero.

Even the most deluded Truther will simply state that “9-11 happened.” She failed to state exactly what happened on 9-11.

Yup, they will excuse her because she was forced to speak against the faith or face being cancelled by the the ebil "Deep State"^TM child-eating Demoncrats

A prediction that over the next few days she’ll be cackling incessantly while watching the small donations flowing into her coffers at Scrooge McDuck volumes.

She is having a Press COnference tommorow. Should be interesting.

How long until 45 realizes that in 2024 the GOP is going to nominate MTG instead of DJT ?

True. She also didn't say that a plane didn't fly into the Pentagon because what she actually said at a conservative conference in 2018 was "there's never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon."

A distinction without a difference.

Not possible to elaborate without a derail, but there is absolute ****-loads of evidence that it was a plane - only a complete dumb **** CT could ignore it ...

Oh wait, this is MTG we're talking about.. right?

Given that the ballot was secret they would seem to lack moral courage.

To be fair to The Don (who I always think of as the Time Lord) he lives in Wales and has seen the UK commit economic suicide via Brexit and let a hundred thousand people die from Covid-19. That'd be enough to send anyone into a despair spiral.

Nope. I'm just surprised she went along.

Fairly pathetic. No apologies for the threats and no real acknowledgement or acceptance of her stupidity, let alone anything about changing.
