The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.

[newyorkguy]

It's just the Put America First PAC, though, that flopped. And it was a disaster. From The Daily Beast:

Since Gaetz and Greene kicked off their joint fundraising committee with a May 7 event at The Villages in central Florida, their campaigns and joint fundraising committee have posted a combined loss of $342,000. And according to recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, that joint fundraising effort, “Put America First,” reported only $59,345.54 in contributions. Daily Beast link

However, Marge's own fundraising PAC -- Greene For Congress -- is doing extremely well. In the first nine months of 2021 Greene raised $6 million (though I think in the last quarter that tailed off a bit too). See FEC screencap below:

How many of those poor putzes thought they were giving money to the Green Party?

The problem with right wing grifters is that they have bled their supporters from decades now - there is just not much left; definitely not when they give all their money to a bloatfish like Trump, mistaking him for a shark.

There always seems to be a little more, though, and you know, you'd be rich if not for the {place epithet here}. America would be great again, and so would you, if you just send me some more so I can return to the time when you could keep the {whatever you picked before} out of our clubs and our schools and our neighborhoods. It's a powerful message for those too stupid to know it wasn't the {yes, them again} that are poisoning the earth and turning your brain to oatmeal.

No.
The US ranks high in per capita charity and I think a small majority of that is RW/conservative extra "tithing" to parochial charities and causes.
There's really no bottom to US donations, we'll "give till it bleeds"... and most of that, if you want to get predatory, will come from the right.

Donny sets the tone, and MJT has to help spin it to preserve the big lie. Using the word panicked in the article headline was definitely click-bait, but the story still stands on its own.

"I recently conducted a poll on Georgia's elections and if my constituents felt their votes would count during a teletown hall," she tweeted on Monday. "Sadly, 4% said they won't even vote due to voter fraud. This is WRONG. Legal votes by Rs are just as important as stopping illegal ones."

Except there aren't any illegal votes. At least not enough to make a difference. But hey, can't let a good grift go, you know. Keep those donations coming in.

This is one situation where I hope they listen to Donny, not her. Fewer votes from deplorables can't help but be a good thing.

And now she is in a major ****-show spat with Lin Wood. Two cats fighting in a bag, and that bag should be thrown in the river.

Trump allies Lin Wood and Marjorie Taylor Greene exchange right-wing insults in a public feud

Wood and Greene are controversial figures and staunch supporters of former President Donald Trump. Both appear to have expressed belief in the QAnon conspiracy theory, and both have spread baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being fraudulent.

Yet, they have fallen out in recent months, and have been engaged in a war of words on social media.

The feud appears to have begun months ago, when Marjorie Taylor Greene replaced Wood as her attorney in a defamation case.

“I am fine with her decision as I guess I was too controversial for Marjorie since I was fighting for Trump to FIX 2020 and she was NOT,” Wood wrote on his Telegram account.

After this, Wood ramped up criticisms of Greene, frequently accusing the congresswoman of not doing enough to try and overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, and calling her a “communist” or “communist sympathizer.”

Every stupid cloud has a silver lining!

I think it would be deliciously laughable if MTG loses her next election because her gullible audience simply swallows the allegation that she's a communist. Live by the dumb, die by the dumb.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Appears To Contradict Trump by Cheryl Teh

Georgia lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared this week to contradict
former President Donald Trump's stand that his supporters should not vote
in the 2022 midterm elections or the 2024 presidential elections unless the
GOP backs his election fraud claims.

"Voices online that are telling you not to vote are doing the Democrats' dirty
work. Stop listening to grifters telling you not to vote," Greene posted on
Twitter on October 18, advocating for Republicans to "get serious."

"We must root out the fraud, but we also have to VOTE," Green continued.
"If we don't vote, the Democrats win by default. It's time to audit the 2020
election, prosecute the fraud, end mass mail-in ballots, and FLOOD THE POLLS
in 2022."

Oh dear... A fight between grifters. This could get ugly.

Wait. She's just a plain ol' communist? I thought she was a nazicommunist or am I getting her mixed up with some other nut case?

 

[shemp]

This must be some definition of Communist with which I am not familiar.

 

[Norman Alexander]

It's only Lin Wood calling her a communist. He also calls the kid who throws his morning newspaper too far from the front porch a communist.

They do that you know (newspaper kids, not communists). My front door security cam often shows my deliver guy making a two attempts to get it right at 6:20AM.

Underhanded back-spin. I wanted it to be leaning up against the door if possible.

A better question is how much will not.
