Not unusual for right wing wackjobs to go back and forth between authoratriansim and anarchhism.

Remember, encouraging and suggesting voter fraud is only bad if a Dem does it.

She is so incredibly stupid. I hope she gets nailed for this.

This is from a couple weeks ago but I just saw it. On Twitter

Quote:

“There was an FBI informant at Mar-a-Lago! Who is that, and how many other FBI informants are around Pres Trump in a daily basis, working at his clubs, working at Mar-a-Lago? These are the things I want to know. Because they’re traitors!” Twitter link (Video of 'Marge' embedded in Tweet)

Traitors? To whom, trump? Christian nationalism?

Stacyhs · 28th August 2022, 12:44 AM

Ok..it's official: MTG has increased her lead over Boebert for the title of "Most Stupid Biatch in Congress". But don't count Boebert out quite yet. She won her primary so she has another 2.5 years to catch up to MTG.

Silly Green Monkey · 28th August 2022, 10:58 PM

I noticed. Apparently local Dems voted for her as a type of spoiler, choosing their opponent, but I saw what happened with Trump---the spoiler can get in and it's bad all around.

When she says “Weaponized law enforcement is communism and has no place in America,” I think she is talking about using law enforcement as a weapon. Although without putting too fine a point on it, I think she means Democrats using LEOs as a weapon against one’s enemies is communism while Republicans using LEOs as a weapon is patriotism.

I 1000% agree...this strategy that some Dems have adapted this election of slipping money and support to the most extreme GOP candiates in hopes it will make winning in November easier is a dangerous and stupid strategy, and it makes me sick to see some people who should know better the praise it as being "clever". Supporting extemism is NEVER a good idea.

newyorkguy · 2nd September 2022, 03:37 PM

This actually came out a while ago. It happened while emptyg was working as a trainer at a gym in Alpharetta, Ga. She was said to have been "brazen" about her affairs. Below are quotes from Britain's OK magazine from February 2021.

Quote:

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s billionaire boss' grandson Jim Chambers also seemingly knew something was up. “She socialized a lot with us,” he recalled. “I remember one particular pool party where she was lying draped over Craig's lap drinking a beer. She was quite open about it,” he continued. “We all thought her marriage was falling apart. But then I took my son to her son's birthday party and things seemed totally normal between her and her husband — even if they were a little lukewarm.” OK magazine link

Below with her spouse Perry Greene. They're still together.

MTG couldn't tell you the difference between socialism, communism, and fascism. She's an utter moron.

I don't think she's even clever. All she's doing is emulating Trump by making hyperbolic, unsupported, and inflammatory statements and lies.

I'm sure that there is a completely reasonable explanation for this behavior. She is undoubtedly working under cover to expose the librul queer conspiracy that is trying to undermine True American Values.

Easy, see.

I find Greene to be despicable but at the same time I don't underestimate her. She got herself elected to Congress. She's up for reelection and, despite the fact she accomplished absolutely zero during her first term, she's an odds-on favorite to be reelected. She is also among the top earners in Congress for donations. That's not my idea of a moron. But her actions and words demonstrate this is not a smart person. Instead, she seems calculating and clever.

I know the type.

Maybe. But this plus her propensity for guns and shooting stuff are indicative of her utter disdain for the sort of "American family values" she claims to represent in politics. She is happy to do what she wants to legislate to others they should not.

Put it this way: If a Democrat rival behaved the same way and word got out, she would have zero hesitation exploiting it at full Nazi throttle.

A better description: flaming ******* hypocrite.

I agree. Below is Marj's description of herself from her Twitter page:

Quote:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG
Christian, Wife, Mother, and Congresswoman representing Georgia’s 14th District

She describes herself as a Christian wife but she's had a series of extramarital encounters. That's 'Christian'? Plus if she had been discreet about it -- instead of in-your-face brazen -- the stories probably wouldn't have gotten out.

Let's not forget, Greene has posted on social media about executing rival political figures.

Quote:

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a first-term Georgia Republican, repeatedly endorsed executing top Democratic politicians on social media before she was elected to Congress, including telling a follower who asked if they could hang former President Barack Obama that the “stage is being set.” New York Times story

I think the more we know about this dangerous person the better.

With a normal person and a normal district, I'd tend to agree with you. But in MTG's case, not so much.

She is a mini-Trump in a heavily pro-Trump part of rural Georgia. Just acting like him, being as abrasively and aggressively anti-Democrats as he is, and just making up scaremongering anti-Democrats lies is all it takes in that part of Georgia to get elected. District 14 has 8.4 times (75.4%) as many white people as people of color. Black people make up less than 9% and Hispanics just under 12% of the population. The median income is $10K less than the median income of the rest of the US with almost 14% living below the poverty line. Did not finish high school: 18%, finished high school: 33%, some college: 30%, Bachelor's: 12%, Post graduate: 7%. So, basically a rural, white, mostly high school educated group. Typical Trump country.

Years ago, my dad's AF navigator was a Baptist who was always trying to get us 'heathens' to go to church. After he retired from the AF, he became a Baptist minister. Our families remained friends even though they stayed in TN and our family moved WA. He finally quit because he said he couldn't stand the hypocrisy any more of his congregation. He said they were the most 'un-Christian' people he'd ever met. All sweet and nice to your face but the most backstabbing, gossiping, vying for power and influence bunch he'd ever met.

Before a certain someone accuses me of attacking Christians, I'm only recounting the story of a family friend who was Baptist minister in the South.

Church members can behave exactly like politicians: they vie for power and influence within their church using a lot of the same methods...and they can be every bit as hypocritical.

True...but it's especially egregious when people who claim to be "good Christians" do it. You know, all that "golden rule", "love thy neighbor", "turn the other cheeks", stuff the profess to believe.

Instead, she seems calculating and clever. I know the type.

But this plus her propensity for guns and shooting stuff are indicative of her utter disdain for the sort of "American family values" she claims to represent in politics. She is happy to do what she wants to legislate to others they should not. Put it this way: If a Democrat rival behaved the same way and word got out, she would have zero hesitation exploiting it at full Nazi throttle. A better description: flaming ******* hypocrite.

I don't give a damn about her sex life, but the hypocrisy of her playing around while making politcal hay out of her being such a devout fundy Christian is astounding.

A better description: flaming ******* hypocrite. I agree. Below is Marj's description of herself from her Twitter page: Quote: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG Christian, Wife, Mother, and Congresswoman representing Georgia’s 14th District She describes herself as a Christian wife but she's had a series of extramarital encounters. That's 'Christian'? Plus if she had been discreet about it -- instead of in-your-face brazen -- the stories probably wouldn't have gotten out. Let's not forget, Greene has posted on social media about executing rival political figures. Quote: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a first-term Georgia Republican, repeatedly endorsed executing top Democratic politicians on social media before she was elected to Congress, including telling a follower who asked if they could hang former President Barack Obama that the “stage is being set.” New York Times story I think the more we know about this dangerous person the better.

She is also among the top earners in Congress for donations. That's not my idea of a moron. But her actions and words demonstrate this is not a smart person. Instead, she seems calculating and clever. I know the type. With a normal person and a normal district, I'd tend to agree with you. But in MTG's case, not so much. She is a mini-Trump in a heavily pro-Trump part of rural Georgia. Just acting like him, being as abrasively and aggressively anti-Democrats as he is, and just making up scaremongering anti-Democrats lies is all it takes in that part of Georgia to get elected. District 14 has 8.4 times (75.4%) as many white people as people of color. Black people make up less than 9% and Hispanics just under 12% of the population. The median income is $10K less than the median income of the rest of the US with almost 14% living below the poverty line. Did not finish high school: 18%, finished high school: 33%, some college: 30%, Bachelor's: 12%, Post graduate: 7%. So, basically a rural, white, mostly high school educated group. Typical Trump country.

Before a certain someone accuses me of attacking Christians, I'm only recounting the story of a family friend who was Baptist minister in the South.

What makes you think they hadn't 'strayed' well before he became the pastor? Church members can behave exactly like politicians: they vie for power and influence within their church using a lot of the same methods...and they can be every bit as hypocritical.

True, but you can say that about any organization that involves human beings.
