Marjorie Taylor Greene craziness megathread

[Calthrina950]

... There are allegations of ballots transported from NY to PA, of huge numbers of ballots having just the Presidential race selected, bins of ballots pulled out under tables, etc.  Why should this NOT be investigated?

Your "bins of ballots pulled out under tables" allegation, was debunked a long time ago.
Why would you believe in this Giuliani hogwash? Lunatic Rudy and company, intentionally only showed part of the video where "bins were pulled out from underneath tables." But as many have already seen and as the factual story goes, if you watch the entire video, the bins were place there earlier for temporary storage, and then were pulled back-out to continue the counting of ballots.
Why are you being so dishonest about the entire election?

This rebuttal which you laid out was discussed in a 60 Minutes report by Scott Pelley last month, in which he interviewed Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's SoS, and his Chief Operations Officer Gabriel Sterling. And as I've noted before, Raffensperger wrote a lengthy and detailed rebuttal of Trump's claims of fraud, and sent it to Congress ahead of the Electoral College certification.

According to MTG, the only way for you to be a strong Republican is to throw a fit and kick and scream when you lose instead of being graceful or something

This calls for a permanent Twitter ban.  She’s openly saying Republicans should fight election defeats, and try to overturn election results.

She’s endorsing voter fraud and so is anyone who still supports her.

I find it interesting how the most "outspoken" Republicans-that is, those who are the most critical of Trump and his supporters-are those who aren't holding any current political office. Sanford, Flake, Corker (who recently appeared in a Frontline documentary about Trump's "madness"), Kasich, all would fit into this category.

Absolutely. And it’s obvious why.

She's endorsing violent revolution (as long as it's by white supremacists). And in a week or so, the Senate will do the same, lighting the fuse on the destructive death of the United States. (It may burn for a decade or more, or it may not take 4 years. But once the Senate acquits Donald Trump, the violent collapse of the United States becomes inevitable.)

Well, all of these men no longer hold political office, in part, because of Trump. Sanford lost his primary to a Trump supporter (who went on to lose to Joe Cunningham in the general), Flake and Corker probably would not have won their primaries either (and Trump, from what I've read, threatened to support their primary challengers), and Kasich failed in his bid for the Republican nomination back in 2016. But obviously, those whose active political careers are effectively over have much less to lose, aren't bound to the Party line, and can therefore speak their minds much more freely.

Solving the real issues here...

In the past, rogue members of the State Department flew the flag of the radical Marxist group, Black Lives Matter. The domestic terrorists represented by that flag have burned down our cities with the mission of defunding our police. We should NOT be flying a flag of a group who wants to erase our history and bring mass destruction to our country through Communism.

Bless her heart

I appreciate the symbolism of this, but it would seem to play into MTG's hands, as a martyr for her deranged fan club. It is not as if she would have any influence in any event on the committees on which she serves. If she gets expelled, she could just run again, and might be elected again. I do see the political advantage for the Dems doing this however. Political advantage is what it is all about these days, now more than ever.

So how many Republicans will vote yes on the resolution? Kinzinger definitely will, but who else?

Does it really matter much, though? If a majority of congressional Republicans had backbone they would vote to expell this moron from the House. However, over 140 of them showed their true colors on January 6 by voting to overturn an election after an insurrection happened.

I feel like more than impeachment at a minimum.

It appears IndyRep may have gotten his wish, because the Democratic Leadership is really hammering on the Q thing.

Is this really going to stick though? The GOP has called every Democrat that walked for the past decade  a socialist, and it doesn't really move the needle much. I'm not sure calling every Republican that walks QAnon is going to move the needle much either

Republicans have nothing to back up calling Democrats socialists, so it isn't effective. The public has had an opportunity to do see that many Republicans are either connected to Q-Anon or unwilling to condemn it.

The socialist label has stuck much better since Democrats actually began calling themselves socialists.

These ads don't just happen in a vacuum.  The GOP tests them and knows they're effective.  And if you talk to real voters you will see that.

The Republican party is held hostage by absolute Wingnuts and extremists, chapter 3727.

I think it works really well for Republicans. Americans support Democratic views on every issue other than capital punishment, and yet Republicans win a lot of elections anyway due to things like feelings and name-calling and associations with "bad" labels.

You are both correct anyways. The Socialist label doesn't stick when thrown against Democrats to whom it clearly doesn't apply such as Joe Biden. However, MacArthur is probably more right in that the association of so-called socialist in the Democratic party can damage the party as a whole. Biden unquestionably lost votes due to voters concerns that folks like the squad and Bernie Sanders were going to call the shots once " sleepy Joe" was elected.

This is objectively not true lol. Firstly, when did Democrats "start" calling themselves socialists? Pretty sure Henry A. Wallace called himself a socialist and FDR still won in a landslide since 1940. Secondly, plenty of other candidates, like McGovern or even Dukakis, have been tarred as socialists for decades now and those attacks seem to have worked, and they sure worked better than they did on Biden.

Surprising no one. I don't understand how McCarthy became the House GOP leader. He comes across as very weak and it shows when he lets a freshman rep railroad him.

Hey now! Leader McCarthy gave MTG a very stern talking-to and finger wagging. Any problems with her being an untreated schizophrenic who believes in Jewish space lasers are obviously now over.

He's known to be a very friendly and personally charming guy who likes pleasing people and will go to any length to do so. Now that I think about it, almost like Michael Scott.

I mean I love Michael Scott's character in the show, but you really can't be a 100% people pleaser when your job is to lead. I feel like it's inevitable someone will challenge him.

That seems like the opposite of who you'd want as a party leader.
