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.

Q'ute.....
(Anyone get the reference? :))

Exactly. She's carefully couching her words to appear like she's taking back her claims when she's actually not.

It is interesting finding out more about a future POTUS and first white female President.

The majority of Republicans voted to keep Greene on her committee assignments - only 11 voted against her. That's hardly a damning indictment of her and her views.

On the contrary, the ovation she got from her GOP colleagues seemed to be a ringing endorsement of her.

The vote to support Liz Cheney was a secret vote, the vote to endorse Greene was a public one. IMO that's a clear indication as to the opinion of the GOP as to the leaning of their support. If you want the support of the GOP rank and file, you cannot be critical of QAnon.

Regarding my predictions regarding President Trump, you're right I was far to pessimistic about his ability to remain in post. OTOH I completely failed to predict the armed attack on the Capitol so maybe it's not safe to say that everything in the garden is rosy.

Let me right now suggest a plan B: Once this gets too long (maybe already has, I see there are numerous posts still ahead of me), could we just abbreviate to something like "ultimate tosser"?

Until they became Christian yes, the Romans were tolerant and would add or ignore religions from around the Empire. Their pantheon was huge.

Mithraism was incorporated and was very popular with the Legions. It was the contender alongside Christianity to become the single 'official' religion and seems to have had some of it's aspects incorporated anyway.

@mtgreenee
Thank you to the real Republicans who stood with me today!
Every single one of you will be remembered.

I'll be holding a press conference tomorrow at 11 AM. See you there.

RT if you still have @realDonaldTrump’s back!

Over 74 million Americans wanted four more years of donald trump. Other than the national race, the Republican Party did pretty well in the 2020 elections. The problem is -- the real problem -- is a sizeable segment of the American public supports these people, shares their views, thinks their way.

If you asked the gentlefolk of the Republican Party -- the average rank-and-file -- is it possible a Jewish space laser started the fires in California? I'm sure many if not most would stare for a second then shrug. "Yes it's probably possible, sure. I don't really know." I think that's the best you'd get from the average GOPer.

Maybe Jordan Klepper should ask them. ;)

Indeed. In fact they had a very enlightened (pragmatic) view on other religions that I wish more modern religions would adopt eg 'Oh you worship the goddess Sulis, what's she the goddess of? Uh-huh, yeah that sounds just like our goddess Minerva, must be the same one, we just have different names for her - I mean we speak a different language after all. Let's just call her Sulis-Minerva and crack on.'

For an atheist, it's bizarre to see the various Abrahmic religions at eachothers throats when they're essentially the same thing - one supreme being that they just have a different name for and some cultural differences in worship (yes I know I'm over-simplifying)...from there it's not even a stretch to compare to various pagan religions: 'What, one god only? Oh he has a son...oh and super-powered angels and saints and stuff. Yeah I guess that's just like ours, after all Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Dagda etc are the top guy and then the lesser gods are either their kids* or basically like your angels etc. and Pluto, Hel, Surtur etc they're your devils and demons.'

*I mean, it's no stretch to see Jesus with a hammer - he was a carpenter after all!

ETA I believe the Babylonian mythos was er, 'heavily borrowed' from in Christianity as well.

Guess which isa the real quote.

“I never said any of these things since I have been elected for Congress. These were words of the past, and these things do not represent me.”

“The Terrible Things I Have Said and Done My Entire Life, and Right Up Until a Few Days Ago, Do Not Represent Me As a Person”

Luther set the seed, I agree, but Jews were still defined by religion, not race. The racial aspect came after the development of race theory and nationalism in the later 19th Century. The Vatican actually made the distinction : religious anti-semitism was in, political anti-semitism was out. (That was principally about Austria, which of course was at the heart of the development.)

The Spanish Inquisition was earlier, for one.

The Romans were inclusive but intolerant - anyone could become a Roman if they conformed to Roman ways, which included honouring Rome's gods.
The later cults were subject to spasmodic repression just like Christianity (which was just another cult, or set of cults, for the first two centuries). It's notable that when Constantine adopted it as a potential unifying force the first thing he did was organise a council to precisely define it (so quintessentially Roman), and the first result of that council was persecution of Arian Christianity.

He's got a point.

The Influence of Crystal Meth on Early 21st Century US Politics could make a good thesis title one day. It may even earn a pass (with some tweaking).

My prediction: RTG will say something stupid in under a week, and she will be defended by various GOP members with the following:

1. It's not what she said,
2. It's not what she meant,
3. But the Democrats said....

Yeah, but nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I see what you did there. [emoji1]

Don't forget "I didn't personally hear what she said so I can't comment on it"

I'm wondering how long Kevin McCarthy gets away with claiming ignorance of Qanon ("can't even pronounce it".) I suspect that will now be the official response of the No-Nothing QOP.

She thanked the Dems this morning for removing her from the committees, which would have been a waste of her time. And declared that the GOP belongs to Trump and Trump alone.
