I just got back to this. When I reposted the previous post I did not notice my 'copy' (from the thread it had been moved to) didn't include the news report I quoted. When I noticed I was already on the run and unable to edit and add. Below is the text I quoted from the news report last January at the height of the omicron surge:
Quote:
Twitter suspended Ms. Greene’s account after she tweeted on Saturday, falsely, about “extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.” She included a misleading chart that pulled information from a government database of unverified raw data called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, a decades-old system that relies on self-reported cases from patients and health care providers. Twitter said that Ms. Greene had a fifth “strike,” which meant that her account will not be restored. The company had issued her a fourth strike in August after she falsely posted that the vaccines were “failing.” Ms. Greene was given a third strike less than a month before that when she had tweeted that Covid-19 was not dangerous and that vaccines should not be mandated. New York Times news link]
At the time, Twitter said greene had violated (repeatedly) Twitter's policy on "coronavirus misinformation."

Man-in-the-street comments are very common, regardless of how useless they are. But she won handily in 2022, with 66% of the vote. I sincerely doubt they had trouble finding anyone who likes her.

Exactly the point of my comment. Surely there must be some notable whom they could quote to add weight, not some (supposedly) random man-in-the-street. It's like 66% of that electorate voted for her, but nobody wants their name to be associated with hers in public.

Someone go get a ratty old laptop that doesn't work, write "Hunter Biden" on it in Sharpie, and then give it to her in committee first time it meets. Tell her "We found it! Here you go! Get all the juicy info from that!" Then tell her to **** off out of the way so real government can be done instead.

The GOP ha no interest in doing any real government, they just want to stop any Democratic Party attempts to do so and to smear Democratic Party politicians and their families.

Didn't take this moron long:

Marjorie Taylor Stupid called openly gay CA state Sen. Mark Weiner a "groomer" when he tweeted that the word “groomer” is “categorically an anti-LGBTQ hate word” on Sunday, likely in response to the shooting at the LGBTQ bar Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Saturday night that left five people dead and at least 18 injured.

“If you call someone groomer, you’re inciting violence against LGBTQ people,” he wrote.

M T Stupid's tweet at Weiner:

“Pass my Protect Children’s Innocence Act to stop communist groomers like this from using state government power to take children away from their parents to allow a for-profit medical industry to chop off these confused children’s genitals before they are even old enough to vote.”

That's what I thought at first too. But she is such an attention whore that she will head for the nearest Twitter or Instagram and post a taunt-vid of her waving the busted laptop about yelling "TOLD YOU IT WAS REAL, SQUAD!" Also, I strongly suspect the more senior GOP members would be just as glad to have her out of the room as any of the Dems would.

NB. Make sure the busted laptop has no HDD in it,

I was coming here to post this.

Yes, the communists are castrating children to support the for-profit medical industry.

Mainstream GOP are stupid. Not inherently stupid, but ritually so. Intentionally stupid to do evil.

If they were just stupid they could be educated. But they know what they are doing. They are intentionally evil to seize and hold power.

I initially misread this as 'ratty old slapper that doesn't work, ..', and I immediately thought you were referring to EmptyG!

Viewers of much UK TV programming will know what a slapper is. I suspect it'd take most Yanks a bit to figure out.

The quote below is from January of this year but this popped up yesterday on another board I frequent. Words of wisdom from emptyg:
Quote:
I really just don’t believe it’s people’s fault that the climate changes … the climate’s been changing since the beginning of time — if you look at the ice ages … none of the people back in the ice ages paid a lot of taxes to melt the ice …*so it’s absolutely ridiculous to say that government solutions … paying more taxes to try to figure out how to reduce carbon — on paper really, not in reality —*is going to do anything about climate change. The climate just changes … we live on a ball [laughs], it is literally a ball that spins …*and this spinning ball, Earth, rotates around a flaming ball, which is the sun. and and the same time, this is moving throughout our, uh, galaxy which is moving throughout the universe … i would just argue … of course our climate is gonna change … Truth or Fiction website link
greene was apparently speaking as a guest on on a livestream with podcaster Tim Pool. People back in the ice ages didn't have to pay taxes "to melt the ice?" WTH? It's scary that a member of Congress can be this totally stupid. It's almost like a parody. Remember the SNL skit?



Compared to things greene actually has said, that SNL skit seems pretty mild. The climate just changes? Our galaxy is moving throughout the universe?

I'd like to ask her, our galaxy is moving through the universe, okay, but what about the Will of God? Or...the communists? What role do they play?

Scary, innit? I'd love to be a fly on the wall if MTG and Walker ever get together for an evening of intellectual exchange.

SNL should do 'A GOP Christmas Party' with MTG, Walker, Boebert, Gohmert, Tuberville, and Matt Gaetz all 'conversating' around the tree. I'd have added Madison Cawthorn, but he's no longer in Congress...thank god.

From the link:

"She wants to be the face of Christian nationalism. She's divorced, and she's actively an adulterer," he continued. "How are you going to be the face of Christian nationalism when you're a divorced woman girlboss? It doesn't even make any sense. I'm so glad I don't have to pretend to support that anymore." Nick Fuentes
Fuentes makes a valid point. Though he said the quiet part -- she wants to be the face of Christian nationalism -- out loud.

If I had to bet, my money's on margie.



By the way, Nick is famous for his defense of being incel, though some argue Fuentes should be classified as 'volcel.'
Quote:
"If we’re really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman really makes you more heterosexual,” Fuentes said, “because honestly, dating women is gay, having sex with women is gay. What’s gayer than being like ‘I need cuddles. I need kisses … I need to spend time with a woman.’ That’s a little sus. I think, really, I’m like the straightest guy.” Link to queerty dot com
Dating women is gay? margie would wipe the floor with him.

By the way, Nick is famous for his defense of being incel, though some argue Fuentes should be classified as 'volcel.'


Dating women is gay? margie would wipe the floor with him.
I think maybe Nick has his own jet airplane and is a millionaire, if you get my drift.

Actually, a duel with weapons would seem more appropriate. They can both shoot off their mouths at each other.

I think Fuentas is just made because he thinks MTG is getting media attention he thinks he should be getting...

Apparently emptyg committed the cardinal sin of disrespecting Nick Fuentes. Lara Loomer slammed back. From LGBTQ Nation dot com:
Quote:
“MTG is no longer an ally to America First,” said white nationalist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. “She may have claimed to be so that she could climb the political ladder, but she has shown she is all talk and zero action, unless of course the action is selling t-shirts and wine glasses.”
This is what riled America First:
Quote:
“Of course I denounce Nick Fuentes and his racists [sic] anti-semitic ideology,” Greene wrote on Twitter last month. “I can’t comprehend why the media is obsessed with him.” She denounced him again last week on her Facebook stream, calling him a “very immature young man saying hateful things” who is “talking about people he doesn’t like by an entire people-group. Which is horrible.”
These are people who are steeped in hate and resentment. Turning on one another is just business as usual for them. It's almost inevitable.
Quote:
“You are their slave Marjorie, a slave to the Democrats and the Media that you constantly talk about,” wrote Holocaust denier Vince James. “By [disavowing Fuentes] it just got to show you’re living according to the rules of their game, that they’ve completely rigged against us." “Here’s my take: grifters are gonna grift, and it’s just sad that we have to go through that kind of betrayal,” Dalton Clodfelter said about Greene on his podcast. Clodfelter is part of Fuentes’s “groyper” movement.

Even Fuentes has spoken out against Greene and has been calling her “Large Marge” and encouraging his followers to heckle her at events.
"Large Marge" from the man that thinks, "Dating women is gay, having sex with women is gay." That's Fuentes' deranged explanation for why he has never done either.

They all deserve one another.

Worth going into the right-wing cesspit and stirring that pot? The snake may end up eating itself.

Marge now thinks the real reason Walker didn't win in Georgia is that Mitch McConnell and Linsey Graham wouldn't let her help his campaign. She feels very insulted.
