The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.

... and here is that interview.

Not only that, but the other brother calls Paul Gosar a pathological liar, and at least suspects he is one of the people behind the insurrection.

I understand that members and Capitol Police observed the Gosar boy giving tours to people on the the 5th. Those same people were part of the enemy force that attacked the capitol the following day.

Replied in the "Rioters storm and occupy the US Capitol" thread as it seems more appropriate there

Wrong thread

Not that her reasons for doing it are sane, but shouldn’t ATF just be part of the FBI?

Originally the AFT was set up in the Department of the Tresury since it's main job was seeing that the federal laws taxes and licence fees were paid by Distillers and the Tobacco companies; and those evading the taxes and fees..ie the bootleggers..were caught. Firearms was thrown in ,I understand, when the FBI did not want the political baggage that enforcing gun laws would involve.

Who else would be putting out the tax stamps for a machine gun?

More words of wisdom from MTG. Posted about ninety minutes ago.

Marjorie Taylor Greene @mtgreenee
Business owners & gun owners are the greatest threat to the Democrat’s ultimate goal of socialism.

Because of their mindset.

They are independent, successful & don’t need to rely on the government.

They can’t be convinced they’re a victim.

Therefore they can’t be controlled. Twitter link

Yep. The GOP is all a big grift now.

So just WHO are convinced they're 'victims' these days, Marginal? (Not a typo.)

They don't? Everytown research dot org found:

Despite a record year for gun sales, an Everytown analysis found that the firearms industry received extensive support from the first tranche of funding from the federal Paycheck Protection Program. Specifically, the data indicates that at least 1,871 firearms-related businesses and organizations received PPP funds from the federal government totaling $156.9 million in 2020. In several specific instances, the federal government’s support of larger players in the firearms industry through the PPP is at odds with evidence about the strength of their respective businesses in 2020. Government assistance through the PPP includes $3 million to a producer of AR-platform weapons, $1.6 million to a manufacturer of silencers, and nearly $400,000 to one of the most prominent producers of ghost gun kits and parts in the United States. Everytown link

The industry actually bragged about how well they did in 2020.

According to [Smith & Wesson] CEO Mark Smith, the company is celebrating its best year since it was established 169 years ago. In addition to its quarterly earnings, Smith & Wesson also presented its last fiscal year. The gun manufacturer reported its sales doubled in its last fiscal year to $1.1 billion. The surge in sales came as more Americans stockpiled guns and ammunition during the Coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to the increase in sales, Smith & Wesson generated a profit of $252.04 million, giving it enough to settle all its debts. link to FXEmpire financial news site

I've got one better:

Marginal Traitor Grift.

Questions: Who genuinely sides with or defends Margerine? Who is actually influenced by her?

Well I mean... she got elected.

Just because people on Twitter and Tumblr and Reddit and the rest of the "The Internet's Internet" hate her doesn't mean she doesn't have supporters.

 

[newyorkguy]

Questions: Who genuinely sides with or defends Margerine? Who is actually influenced by her?

I feel pretty sure that just about every one of the 74 million Americans who voted for four more years of donald trump last year, I'd bet just about everyone of them sides with and would defend Greene. And are greatly influenced by her nonstop blathering. Her record as one of the top fundraisers in Congress -- I think she's third behind Scalise and Pelosi -- is ample proof a lot of Americans take her very seriously.

 

[The Don]

Questions: Who genuinely sides with or defends Margerine?

The Trump wing of the GOP.

In other words, 80-90% of the GOP.

There may be some GOP representatives who are unhappy that she foghorns what they're dog-whistling but the means and the ends seem similar enough.

Who is actually influenced by her?

Her constituents ?

A number of GOP congresscritters who are concerned about being primaried by Q-Anon adherents ?

Vox reported in April, for the first quarter 2021:

In preparation for what is likely to be a contentious reelection fight, freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has raised more than $3 million in the last three months, Politico reported Wednesday. It’s a shocking total, one that dwarfs the nearly $728,000 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) pulled in during the first three months of 2019, and it follows months of controversy that have dogged Greene since her election victory in November.

“I’m just getting started,” Greene tweeted Wednesday while celebrating the haul. “I am one of the people and the people are with me, and I will always be with them.” Vox link

Ugh. I had to open my big mouth.

Don't forget all the import restrictions designed to support and benefit the US gun industry.

 

[dudalb]

Yep. The GOP is all a big grift now.

I don't like the GOP any more then you do but to be fair most Democratic fundraisers are just about the same..overpriced tickets for a medicore dinner.
It's not nicknamed "The Rubber Chicken Circuit" in both parties for nothing.

 

[dudalb]

Just to make it clear, I despise MTG but her fund raising banquet is not much different then other fund raising banquets in both parties.
