Marjorie Taylor Greene craziness megathread

[Big Abraham]

So, let's see...in the past week she's called a fellow member of Congress Representative Mussolini, and stated that Guam isn't part of the United States.

Democrats called Trump Mussolini many times...

And Guam is not part of the United States. The problem with what she said was listing Guam with a bunch of foreign not-so-friendly countries.

What?

It's an unincorporated territory, and thus is not formally a part of the United States, even if it is subject to American jurisdiction.

[DrScholl]

It's not a foreign country though and has representation in the US House. A foreign country wouldn't have that.

People born in Guam are U.S. citizens.

Russia had representation in the White House.

But anyway, the problem with what MTG said was implying that Guam was foreign, due to listing it with a bunch of foreign countries. (she never explicitly called it foreign) The problem with what NYE said is implying Guam is part of, and not a possession of, the United States.

So are people born on American-flagged ships. They are both possessions of, not part of, the US.

Guam is not part of the United States.
Greenland is not part of Denmark.
Bermuda is not part of the UK.
Christmas Island is part of Australia.
French Guiana is part of France.
New Caledonia is not part of France.
Tokelau is not part of New Zealand.
Hong Kong is part of China, but administered more like a possession.

Empire is complicated.

Yack, yack, yack, yack. End of debate means end of debate which means there is no need to keep replying. You wasted your time scouring Wikipedia, because I simply do not agree with you.

What a bizarre spectacle

Agree.
Everything about who MTG is, and what she does, is a "bizarre spectacle" (to put it nicely).

[Green Line]

Wow.  Deeply unsettling to have troops used as political props in such a way.  Sounds more like a banana republic than a 1st world democracy.

I wonder, if MTG decides to bring the Georgia National Guard over to Ilhan Omar's office in response to some perceived slight and surround it, what would the reaction be?

The bottom line is that the blonde headed witch was wrong when she called Guam a foreign country.

French Guiana is absolutely a part of France, just as much as Alaska is part of the US. It fully participates in French elections as if it were in Europe.

That is what my post said?

There is some true to your post (I don't agree with it precisely), but it underscores the need to admit the territories as states or grant them independent free association status as we've done with other Pacific islands. We should not have any second-class Americans.

I feel bad. You are easily one of the most abrasive and rude posters on this site, yet you so rarely get the recognition you deserve.

I don't dispute that. I call people out for exactly what they are with no filter. You aren't insulting me.

the unstated context of this whole episode: National Guard members from Guam, and the rest of the US, are stationed in DC, seemingly indefinitely and with nothing to do.

[Badger]

MTG is so hilarious. We need more people like her.

Terrible poster makes terrible post. News 11.

Except in this case Santander was dead wrong.

The GQP has already shown its hand. I am willing to trust the Biden administration's response.

I don't really agree with that but it's irrelevant.

[Ferguson97]

So Newman intentionally tries to trigger MTG by placing a flag outside her office and then cries when MTG responds?

Is the existence of trans people “triggering” to you?

No but I think that Newman believes Republicans are triggered by "the existence of trans people." There objections to the equality act is a lot more nuanced than that.

Republicans are triggered by the existence of trans people, and clearly you are too.
