The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.

[Andy_Ross]

Many years ago, I shared an apartment with a graduate of West Point. One day he and his fellow cadets were told to bring their service pistols to a range. To save money on ammunition, apparently, each was issued only one bullet. When the officer came by to watch my roommate fire his 1911, my roommate hit a bull's eye smack dab in the center. The surprised officer nodded and said "Nice shooting." When that supervisor was out of earshot, the cadet standing next to my roommate observed that he had missed his own target entirely, and asked whether my roommate had deliberately aimed at that cadet's pristine target instead of his own. No, he had not.

No, that never happened.

Marj this morning. Yeah, at's rite!

Marjorie Taylor Greene @mtgreenee
Republicans that make a bi-partisan Infrastructure deal with Democrats that includes the Green New Deal will be the biggest traitors in our party.

For Dems, “Infrastructure” is the Green New Deal that forces the US to electric vehicles.

Fyi.. electric cars run on batteries.

The US government should never mandate a massive industry change that puts us at the mercy of our greatest enemy.

Forcing the US to EV’s will force us to be dependent on China who controls the battery market.

Killing our US oil and gas independence is death to our freedoms. Twitter link

We lose our gas and oil, we lose our freedoms. That simple.

False. CATL of China is the largest manufacturer, but they do not 'control the market'. LG of S. Korea is set to takeover CATL's position. Panasonic also makes EV batteries in Nevada. India is also getting into the EV battery production market.

A unit of LG Chem, this South Korean battery supplier is neck and neck with CATL as the world’s number one supplier of lithium-ion EV batteries.

Panasonic is another of the word’s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the electronics giant partnering with Tesla on Giga Nevada - or Gigafactory 1, as it’s also known - a $5 billion lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle component factory located in Storey County, Nevada, that produces a Panasonic EV battery exclusively for Tesla’s Model 3, Model S and Model X SUV.

LG Chem edged ahead of competitors to become the largest supplier of lithium-ion batteries to automakers in the first eight months of 2020, lifting its market share to about 25% from around 11% a year ago, according to SNE Research Inc.

Hey, come on now Stacyhs. MTG doesn't let little things like facts get in the way of a good scare tactic.

Sadly, that is one of, if not the, biggest problems with today's GOP: facts mean nothing to them if they contradict what they want to believe, need to believe, or want/need others to believe in order to further their agenda. They do truly live in a post-fact world.

Next up, MTG finds evidence that electric cars are silent carriers of windmill cancer.

Yeah, my fear is that the Democrats realise that it's a good tactic and emulate it.

I saw this posted by Cle4Life on your twitter link:



Once again, historically ignorant Trumper claiming 'ownership' of Lincoln and Juneteenth's cause for celebration for the Republicans while damning the "racist Southern Democrats" for slavery. I bet Cle4life's head would explode from the cognitive dissonance if historians explained to him where he's gone wrong there. Or he'd just put his fingers in his ears and sing La la la la la to himself.

In a CNN interview with MTG she says she'd like to serve on Pelosi's select committee investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection yikes and would accept that the FBI wasn't involved in it if they "show proof" they weren't. She says there were "all kinds of people" at the "riot" with some wearing black clothes and some red hats. The "wearing black" is a not so subtle allusion to Antifa.

The beginning of the video is Rep Mo Brooks running away from Jim Acosta. He won't talk to CNN because it won't be honest about what he says and "lies" all the time. I know........

Thanks I watched the interview. She'd accept the FBI wasn't involved if they show proof they weren't involved. And how would they do that?

This is the problem dealing with conspiracy theorists. Greene doesn't expect she should have to show proof that the FBI WAS involved. No, of course not. That's not how this works. The Bureau should have to show proof they WEREN'T involved. What would Greene like? A sworn and notarized affidavit from all 35,000 FBI agents and staff affirming, "I was not involved in any manner, shape or form, etc." And what is she suggesting? That the FBI -- the FBI? -- had undercover agents infiltrate the crowd leaving the trump rally that morning and then 'stage' the invasion of the Capitol Building? For what purpose? To 'discredit' donald trump and his supporters? Heck, even Marj Greene isn't crazy enough to come right out and say that, but that's what this is about, correct?

Greene also brings up the issue that some of those jailed on January 6th charges are being held in solitary confinement in the DC Corrections Center. What has Greene been doing about it? Anything? Ironically, Senator Elizabeth Warren is also concerned and has probably done more to convey those concerns to the appropriate officials than MTG ever has or ever will. Below are comments Warren made to the news media over two months ago.

uch treatment doesn't sit well with Warren...“Solitary confinement is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging,” Warren said in an interview. “And we’re talking about people who haven’t been convicted of anything yet.” The Massachusetts Democrat, a member of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's leadership team, said that while some limited uses of solitary confinement are justified, she’s worried that law enforcement officials are deploying it to “punish” the Jan. 6 defendants or to “break them so that they will cooperate.” Politico link

We need names and answers about the FBI operatives, who were involved in organizing and carrying out the Jan 6th Capitol riot.

First they had a “back up plan” to stop Trump in Russia Collusion witch hunt, now we are finding out they were deeply involved in Jan 6th.

Actually I did see that. A couple of times. I must have blocked it out of my mind.

Some of this begins to seem like political theater. Making accusations that the accusers KNOW are not true because it allows them to 1) avoid a serious discussion, 2) they chortle that parroting this kind of nonsense is a way to "own the libs," and 3) it feels so good.

I read some comments like that by some on-line right-wing dingbat yesterday. She admitted to having recently "made up two stories" -- I stopped reading before finding out what those stories were -- because by doing so she "owned the libs."

It's like high school all over again.

When you brag about lying, it says far more about you than you intended. Once again, they just reveal their stupidity.

Not how the burden of proof works, Marj. This is a typical conspiricist tactic: shifting the burden of proof because it seems "logical and strong" to their tiny minds. CNN should have really stomped on that one and thrown it back at her: Prove the FBI was there, or shut up.

Marj was at Wellington Ohio last night to help trump kick off his revenge tour. At the rally Greene blasted AOC as "the little communist from New York City." When the crowd began to chant 'lock her up' Greene responded, "Right. Yeah, lock her up too, that’s a good idea."
