MTG attended a White House meeting that discussed the Eastman plan to overthrow the election.

Raskin was a editor of the Harvard Law Review when at Harvard Law School..which means he was one of the smartest law students at the best law school in America.Being apponted to the review is the highest honor a Harvard Law Student can receive.
God, he swatted her down like a fly. Talk about being overmatched.... |

I could only handle listening to a short section of the Raskin-emptyg video. Marj seemed to be saying, in addition to her earlier idea about arming teachers, now we should arm the students, too. And something-something because the school psychologist doesn't have time to 'talk the shooter down.' Some totally typical nonsense.

If by talking over him and cutting off his answers you might be right. I skipped ahead because I too could not stand listening to her. Raskin finally cut her off then at the end, "You're not a member of the rules commission are you?"
EmptyG isn't on any committees. Then she starts denying her positions claiming he was distorting them or something or other. I wouldn't bother to engage a person like Empty G. There's no point. |

A recent issue of Skeptical Inquirer had a quote about debating creationists that applies here too. "Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon - it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory." -Scott Weitzenhoffer |

I think Raskin considers MTG to be an idiot and an embarrassment to Congress. Her moronic blabbering about training kids to use guns and referring to the J6C as 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' only reinforced that. He had no interest in giving her a platform to spout her lunacy.
MAGATs would think MTG had a 'complete' win if she farted "Yankee Doodle Dandy" out her ass. |

I should have trimmed the Captain's post down to the first sentence, which is what I was agreeing with.
IMO... Neither got the better of the other, she certainly wasn't "swatted down", and yes, with her typical blather she comes off as an idiot (no dear, a fetus is not a baby, a child or a person). Being bested would have resulted in her just shutting up (is that even possible)... so her just jabbering over any questioning will definitely be seen as a win to her fans. |

Madge does it again. First there was the gazpacho police and peach tree dishes. Now they've 'perched' the military.

As long as her mouth-noises get reported, she is performing the role the GOP want of her, even if she doesn't know it: Being a shiny public distraction from whatever nefarious dealings they are organising elsewhere to undermine good government.

I think it is fortuitous, because after 1/6, the GOP knows they look bad anyway. EmptyG, Boebert and the Florida ****-wits seem to be hogging all the air-time and comments. When did you last see much about the REAL GOP criminals? They know how to cover their operations, at least.
Of course. Which successful crooks in their right minds want such people involved in any way whatever with undermining the current government? It's the political equivalent of "Hey you little brats, go play in the traffic". And when they are no longer useful, they will be dropped instantly. |

They had plenty to do with it, by simply letting the Dems take action. They could have fought for her like they did for other GOP committee members. But they did not. It was simply a case of letting their enemy do their job for them while avoiding the blame. Also, it gives EmptyG's martyr complex a boost, which means more TV outrage from her.

They will pick the committees they want to fail. Because these doofuses will generally act out, annoy the crap out of the Dems, make a scene, and generally disrupt the running of those committees. Then when it becomes a circus, they will shut down those committees "because they have become a circus". The GOP don't like committees when they can't control them. They prefer to just do their nefarious stuff behind closed doors.
I'm surprised some here can't see that few steps ahead in Mitch's thinking... |

- Because purveyors of intentionally hateful disinformation have sold otherwise good people on the idea that free speech will collapse if they are told to shut up or not given a soapboax.
- Because being a shock jockey contrarian is the new hotness in a post fact, post shame world. - Because the internet let itself be a testing ground for perfecting trolling behavior and now it's in the wild and functionally impossible to counter. - Because a lot of hate filled, intellectually hollow institutions and ideas are so far gone they nothing left but to **** in the salad bar just so someone will give them attention. - It's what happens when an entire generation eats lead paint and all go into cognitive decline at the same time. |
