The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.

Did anyone post the text of Greene's Facebook post about the wildfires?

As there are now over 70 people confirmed dead and over 1,000 missing, the fires in CA are a horrific tragedy. I'm praying for all involved!
I'm posting this in speculation because there are too many coincidences to ignore, and just putting it out there from some research |'ve done stemming from my curiosity over PG&E stocks, which tanked all week then rallied Thursday night after CA official announced they would not let PG&E fail. I find it very interesting that Roger Kimmel on the board of directors of PG&E is also Vice Chairman of Rothschild Inc, international investment banking firm. I also find interesting the long history of financial contributions that PG&E has made to Jerry Brown over the years and millions spent in lobbying. What a coincidence it must be that Gov Brown signed a bill in Sept 2018, protecting PG&E and allowing PG&E to pass off Its cost of fire responsibility to its customers in rate hikes, and through bonds. It also must be just a coincidence that the fires are burning in the same projected areas that the $77 billion Dollar High Speed Rail Project is to be built, which also happens to be Gov Brown's pet project. And what are the odds that Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum is the contractor to the rail project! Geez with that much money, we could build 3 US southern border walls. Then oddly there are all these people who have said they saw what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires, and pictures and videos. I don’t know anything about that but I do find it really curious PG&E's partnership with Solaren on space solar generators starting in 2009. They announced the launch into space in March 2018, and maybe even put them up before that. Space solar generators collect the suns energy and then beam it back to Earth to a transmitter to convert to electricity. The idea is clean energy to replace coal and oil. If they are beaming the suns energy back to Earth, I'm sure they wouldn't ever miss a transmitter receiving station right?!! I mean mistakes are never made when anything new is invented. What would that look like anyway? A laser beam or light beam coming down to Earth I guess. Could that cause a fire? Hmmm, I don’t know. I hope not! That wouldn't look so good for PG&E, Rothschild Inc, Solaren or Jerry Brown who sure does seem fond of PG&E. Good thing for Solaren that Michael Peevey is on their board since he is former President of California Public Utilities Commission, California's most powerful energy regulatory agency. Great connections right there!

Also I will say whoever was able to buy that PG&E stock at the bottom before that announcement was made when stocks rallied sure did well on their investment. | wonder how you get privy to that kind of info You must have to know somebody right? Seems like there's a lot of connected people in this crowd. And with these space solar generators, I really hope they have very good aim beaming the suns power down to Earth... But what do I know? I just like to read a lot.

Yeah, I'd beat the crap out them when they'd use "infer" incorrectly, too. Sent more than one to the hospital when they said "I could care less". I won't even mention what happened when they misused "then" and "than". But it wasn't pretty. :D

The sad thing is -- also the dangerous thing -- Ms. Greene won't discuss any of this except with people who already agree with her. It's bad for a private citizen to behave that way but highly undemocratic not to say un-American (if that still means anything) for an elected member of Congress to refuse to explain statements they have made or written. The American people have a right to get answers from elected representatives.

It's the Republican rank-and-file who enable all this. If they don't express some doubts, if they don't question the use of highly inflammatory speech, they're really signaling that they're buying in. And I think it's become pretty obvious that they are. It's not just the congress member who represents the 14th Congressional District in northwestern Georgia. (With a population of over 700,000 residents, part of the district is counted as part of the Chattanooga, Tennessee metropolitan area. District highlighted on map below.)

Well, I infer that we are roughly on the same side. I suppose I could care less about this, and then it would bother me less than it does now, but no, it ain't pretty.

Looks like an ‘F’ for fail if you ask me.

She's my Representative, despite my votes* against her. I still see yard signs for Trump 2020 every day, despite his loss. The MTG sings went down election day, iirc. It's probably 25% I agree with her, 73% I support anyone/anything with an "R" by their name, and 5% vote fraud here.




Yes, the math doesn't add up.

No, I can't prove the people I know who brag that they request absentee ballots for their grown children and fill them out straight "R" aren't lying to me. But, it is GA, our SOS is Republican and not interested in any voter fraud unless it benefits a Democrat. There will never be evidence.


*in the primary and in the general

Interesting, but when you write "probably 25% I agree with her," are you referring to yourself or referring to what others would say?

The idea that Greene got 73% of the vote because she had an R by her name overlooks the fact she got 40% in a nine-candidate field in the June GOP primary. The runner-up, John Cowan, got 21%. In the special runoff, she beat Cowan with 57% of the vote.

In looking up the primary results on Ballotpedia, I noticed this under the campaign finance section:

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican Party - Raised: $3,069,804; Spent $2,709,837; Cash-on-hand $359,967 as of December 31, 2020 (The source is the Federal Election Commission.)
Over three million dollars seems like a lot of money for someone running in a district of 700,000 people. That's double what Cowan raised. Wonder who was financing Greene?

You can view information on contributions on OpenSecrets.org.

It says she self-financed about $1 million. I didn't realize she was that wealthy.

To be fair, I parsed wareyin's post as saying

25% of her votes were for per personally
73% of her votes were simply because she has an "R" after her name
Some of all that might have come from fraud

Getting old has to have some advantages besides 'early admission Tuesday' to the grocery store and '10% senior discount at IHOP'. :p
