I've been averting my eyes from this because it feels bogus to me. But what do I know?
What I've absorbed — somehow! — without looking is that MTG is a Republican who got elected to Congress and it seems she believes some really stupid things. What are you going to do about that? My conventional response is: Her district voted her in, so that's that until the next election. Fretting about what to do about her seems like a big distraction. I'm not entering that rathole.
But feel free to tell me what I'm missing. Honestly, I don't even know what she said. Okay, I'm setting my timer for 1 minute and will look only that long.
MORE: I have nothing to add. I did spend that minute reading things.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 284 of 284Everyone knows that 380ppm of co2 in the atmosphere is going to kill the plant.
It's all lies spread by the nitrogen lobby. They've been very successful in stifling any discussion of atmospheric nitrogen.
780,000 ppm worth.
The have the lion's share and won't be satisfied until they drive the little guys like co2, argon (almost 10,000)

I know who is not in touch with reality, looked in a mirror lately?
What I've absorbed — somehow! — without looking is that MTG is a Republican who got elected to Congress and it seems she believes some really stupid things.
Serious Question(s)
How, Exactly, if absorbing "without looking" different from not reading a posted article?
How, Exactly, is "believing some really stupid things" different from being a 'moronic fool'?
Actually, these are NOT Serious Questions; they're Rhetorical
No one, and i mean NO ONE doesn't know the difference between these
Inga,
Wow. What some folks are capable of convincing themselves of.
Well, for starters, on 1/6/2021 nothing appears to have been set on fire. On 1/20/2017, it looked like a good chunk of downtown DC was ablaze. But, what evs. I do understand that fire is a lefty specialty these days; GOP mobs lack those maaaaad Dumpster-lighting skillz.
Have you anything to say to the remainder of my post? That five people died, and of those five only one was (possibly) deliberately killed by the mob? That one person was shot and killed, not by the armed-to-the-teeth mob folks (who fired exactly zero shots) but by the Capitol police? That two people died respectively of a heart attack and of a stroke, and that if such deaths are to be counted as "mob violence," then I imagine that the death toll of the BLM/Antifa riots may need adjustment upward?
So far, I have not even seen evidence that either of these two men was inside the Capitol when they dropped dead. The overwhelming majority of the protestors, who did not enter the Capitol building, were at a peaceful protest -- not a "mostly peaceful" protest with some "free" flatscreens and bling and high-end sneakers to be had on the side, but an entirely peaceful one. It was nonetheless crowded and hot, like any event where many, many people are jammed into a very tight space. This is almost certainly what killed the woman who was trampled (we are, in fact, very lucky that only one person died like that -- in the usual cases, like concerts or sporting events, 20 or 30 dead is pretty common). It seems likely enough to me that the two protesters who died of natural causes were also done in by the crowding and the heat. Which are, of course, things to avoid in a pandemic, unless the peaceful protesting is BLM-inspired, in which case go for it.
"Greene is a dangerously stupid individual, the kind of person who slept through high school history class and then woke up one day as an adult, opened social media, and thought it was educating her. If Congress had any self-respect they would get to the 2/3rds of the vote necessary to expel her. However, the majority required to yank her from her committee assignments will be fine. She's a direct threat to democracy and should be treated that way."
AOC is a dangerously stupid individual, the kind of person who slept through high school history class and then woke up one day as an adult, opened social media, and thought it was educating her...
Fixed it.
And democrats (and POTUS) believe that boys can be girls and girls can be boys, and that burning down cities and looting is a form of mostly peaceful protest.
Who are the crazy ones again?
You do not have to pay attention to Marjorie Whatshername Whatshername. It's a distraction. It's also an excuse to keep talking about QAnon and imposing social media censorship. If she still says the kind of stuff she was saying before she got elected, she could be censured, but I wouldn't hold whatever wacky stuff she said before against her.
Libertarianism is an amorphous thing. Some of the people who vote Libertarian are closer to the Democrats than the Republicans. The free trade and mass immigration policies supported by NeverTrumpers are libertarian as is the social and cultural lifestyle liberalism of the privileged classes, so I wouldn't say that they were immune from libertarian influences. Also, for the Trumpers and other Republicans, libertarian rhetoric is wearing thin. Less government is preferable to more, but the exaggerated rhetoric about rolling back government and cutting out agencies doesn't look very practical or convincing.
Even if they win the election, the system has numerous means of sandbagging their agenda.
Is the "system" the same entity as Chief Bromden's "combine"? Is it analogous to "The Man"? Whatever, the system couldn't prevent the president from enacting his agenda to cancel the Keystone pipeline and thereby put thousands out of work. Or ... is canceling Keystone part of the system's agenda? Help me out here.

Ann holds GOP politicians to the Mitt Romney standard and expects they play by what Victor Davis Hanson calls as Marquess of Queensberry rules. Only losers (and Charlie Brown) still play that way.
So, no, that MAGA impulses occasionally align with ideas doesn’t mean they were determined ...
Name one, just one candidate of a political party that had any chance of becoming POTUS in the past twenty years that "occasionally aligned" with these "ideas" that you fail to identify.
MAGA follows Trump on everything he says and does.
I've been around the MAGA world for 4 years. Although you do see the robot types it's hardly the norm. You're confusing pushback on the constant unwarranted critisizm with lockstep. Flawed as Trump may be you go with the horse that brought ya. Got a better idea let's hear it.

MTG is a Republican who got elected to Congress and it seems she believes some really stupid things
You know who says sane reasoned things? The Vice President. She says the President is a RACIST! (no opinion on rapist.)
Isn't the smart money here betting that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a false-flag Antifa impersonation?
Ms Althouse has the exactly right take on this attempt to otherize Republicans. Better than my initial take that I'd stack her silly beliefs against Ilhan Omar's any day.
Hank Johnson, Democrat, Georgia: Yeah, my fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize. Reelected several times since uttering that idiocy.
Asked of the Mars rover by a Democrat, maybe not exact wording: "Can you move it to where the astronauts put the flag?" Can't find her name by googling the question. Hidden too far down in the results.
But with many Democrats routinely uttering such stupid things, do you think I really care about Marjorie Taylor Greene and her beliefs?
Other stupid unbelievable things said by Democrats:
No controlling legal authority.
No reasonable prosecutor...
I could go on with stupid Democrat sayings, but why? Democrats don't care what their leaders say. And Republicans- most of us anyway- consider elected politicians to be employees, not leaders.
Althouse said rathole instead of rabbit hole.
I'm averting my eyes.
MTG is the Trump AOC
Personally I refuse to comment on the dopey things Marjorie Taylor Greene said because some Democrat surely said equally dopey things once too and who am I to judge?
No, I have a problem with you not being to name a single concrete policy of your own. Otherwise you're just another barn burner. Dime a dozen.

I vote for Squealer.
She does make a good point about the Jewish Space Laser though — I was promised it would only be used for circumcision.

Sheila Jackson Lee, the Congress critter from Houston. She is also the author of the gun confiscation bill,
She is also known in DC for requiring a limousine to travel 1/2 block.
I'm an atheist, so I assume somewhere north of 99% of all politicians believe, or at least claim to believe, things that I find silly, or ridiculous. Heck, a majority of members of the Supreme Court supposedly believes that they ritually consume the blood and flesh of their deity every Sunday. If I refused to vote for anyone I thought believed in anything silly, much less argued for their expulsion . . .

The executive branch employs millions of people. A president enters such an organization with an agenda and with preexisting issues requiring attention. Information flows up the decision-making chain of command as needed, the president receives the information, a determination is made, and a course of action flows back down the chain of command. There are all kinds of ways to confound that process. Restricting or finessing the information a president receives is one of the more common ones. It's one of the reasons the chief of staff is a powerful position.
That said, it isn't accurate to think of it as a fixed set of opinions that it can unilaterally impose. It's more like a broad consensus with varying degrees of dissent over a number of issues. Like an object in a coloring book. Feel free to choose any colors you prefer, but you have to color within the lines.
Not only is the executive a massive organizational structure, it is connected to numerous other organizations that also have various means of exerting influence.
Looks like what you're missing is that while her lunacy/comments don't matter to you or your mob in the thread, Republican leadership still possesses the capacity for embarrassment and wants to put an end to the tens of thousands of Americans in state after state saying sayonara and de-registering from the Republicult party.
This is great news. The suits who pretended to run the show after Buckley-Reagan purged the kooks from prime time spots are now learning that the kooks are proudly flying their flag and turning off all the normal Americans. Heck, look at how many of your flock are contrasting her favorably against Democrats! This is wonderful news for making America as great as it was under the liberal consensus of FDR his post-WWII reconstruction of our country and the global order it made and led.
Not only is the executive a massive organizational structure, it is connected to numerous other organizations that also have various means of exerting influence.
When it is occupied by a hostile power, the administrative state, nothing gets done. That does not explain Biden's blizzard of EOs but it does explain why Trump got little accomplished. Most of what he did get accomplished was psychological and that is quickly being reversed.
The troll swarm seems to be continuing. All blank profiles.
Looks like Howeeee crawled away after someone tore him another new one...
It's hard not to question the patriotism of Americans who have a softer spot in their 3-chambered hearts for blank-profiled Russian troll bots than for good old fashioned Americans who simply agree with the 80 million+ of our country that voted for Biden and a senate and House aligned with him and his popular agenda.
If what the Trumpies had was popular they would have called it that. Instead they call it "populist" as a way of saying supported by mobs, but much less popular throughout the country.
"Most of what he did get accomplished was psychological and that is quickly being reversed."
I disagree slightly.
He ripped the mask off of the deep state and the crooked media 'bigly.'
And exposed the worse-than-RINOs (hey Lindsey) for what they really are.
A lot of people will never forget that...
With Trump gone, the media needs to hate on some deplorable to make narcissistic liberals feel superior. Marjorie fits the bill, and that's why we're hearing about her.
@Michael K:

They couldn't stop everything they wanted, but they could stop a lot. In this regard, one of Trump's biggest strengths was that he had very little to no ideological motivations. His approach was almost totally goal-oriented and pragmatic in nature. That gave him flexibility. If one course of action was not working or was proving unpopular to the base, Trump could quickly abandon it and pursue an alternative course.
Not only is the executive a massive organizational structure, it is connected to numerous other organizations that also have various means of exerting influence.
Otherwise known as the ship of state. An apt metaphor might be a huge seagoing vessel. Even if the captain turns the wheel it takes a long time before there is a course correction. I wish Trump had put a lot more effort into fixing the educational system. We're going to run aground.

Just 'splain for us, how this "information" flowing up the decision-making chain of command magically changes course or even REVERSES, the instant after a new POTUS takes office, so that he has a rational basis to issue diktats ukases, commands, and decrees (aka Executive Orders) that UNDO the policies based on the information that was flowing up on the POTUS on the day before.
Example: the abrupt cancellation of the Keystone pipeline. One day good, the next day bad, and thousands out of work in the US and Canada. WHY?
Then 'splain for us why the biases of bureaucrats who get to keep their jobs, perks and benefits NO MATTER WHAT are to be trusted with this "information" they send upstairs. You think keeping their phoney-baloney jobs might not influence their opinions?
Finally, 'splain for us how a new POTUS reconciles his agenda with all that information being sent from the private sector--such as inflation, savings rates, tax policy, new business formation, corporate earnings, construction starts, infrastructure improvement needs and the like, with that of public-sector bureaucrat swho have NO skin in the game.
I suspect more than half of all voters, left and right, want to THEIR opinions to prevail over the anonymous, unaccountable administrative state populated with chair-moisteners who cannot be fired, and therefore don't give a fuck, as long as they can keep their jobs.
The LAST thing they want is for faceless bureaucrats to make policy.

Every time the federal government tries to "fix" the rotten educational system it is either totally ineffective ("No Child Left Behind") or crushed by the teachers' unions.
Education is still primarily a state/local function, and the WORST thing that could happen is if the federal government imposed a one-size-fits-all approach on the entire US.
Biden is talking up the imbecilic and culturally/socially/politically poisonous "critical race" theory.
Would you like to see that adopted throughout the entire US?

I was thinking of something geared towards the university level that is pumping out the indoctrinated K-12 teachers.
Slow Joe said “Kind of disappointed that Trump didn't kill the Dept. of Education.”
Trump didn’t do much did he? Talked a lot, made a spectacle, did little.
He didn’t follow through, he didn’t build teams, he didn’t change minds.
The only exception is the son in law.
“Kind of disappointed Trump didn’t” is the PERFECT summary of his presidency.
Kind of disappointed he didn’t take his loss like a man. Kind of disappointed it was the only thing he cared about for the last 2 months of his term.
you're supposed to because Democrats want to make her the face of the GOP even though most Americans have never heard of her and she has no real power. If she was a Democrat, she'd be a member of the Squad and get all sorts of media praise. Apparently, it doesn't count when Democrats believe crazy conspiracy theories. Having her in Congress is hardly a pressing matter.
"Isn't their headquarters in NYC?"

I assume you are referring to the 74 million people who voted for him. I am one but would never have dreamed of going to one of his rallies, or especially the January 6 rally. I visualized him as a brick thrown through the window of such people as the Clintons and Paul Ryan. I was surprised and pleased at what he tried to do and those things he accomplished. Betsy DeVos was an inspired choice for Ed. I have been voucher and private school supporter since I sent my own kids to private school. I wish I could afford to send my grandkids to the school I sent their father but it now costs as much as most colleges.
I have two other grandkids but assume they are lost as their mother is a crazy leftist and my older son is a leftist trial lawyer who dismisses any comment I make. They are near feral children as the mother ignores them most of the time and is quite similar to Blasey Ford, who she probably knows well.

Traficant was nothing, if not entertaining: "Madam Speaker, it started with the training bra and then it came to the push-up bra, the support bra, the Wonderbra, the super bra. There is even a smart bra. Now, if that is not enough to prop up your curiosity, there is now a new bra. It is called the holster bra, the gun bra. That is right, a brassiere to conceal a hidden handgun. Unbelievable. What is next? A maxi-girdle to conceal a Stinger missile? Beam me up!

MTG is the duly-elected representative of her district and should remain there until she's voted out. Last I heard, she's done nothing illegal that would require her to resign. She says some pretty weird stuff, but if that's the measure, then throw them all out, as they've all done it. It's protected if not politically-correct speech. The woke and therefore acceptable mob took over with the new Congress and President.
Today's Newspeak started with being politically correct. Then moved to classifying statements as hate speech. Now everything libs disagree with is "hate speech," although I am not sure SCOTUS has clearly identified what that is. But it should nonetheless be censored and removed from the public discourse as thoughtcrime. Cuz our illiberal lib betters know better. O'Brien smiles...

Probably not. When it happens. And it will happen. It will be sooner rather than later and it will be ignited by something seemingly innocuous. Like most of these things are. I did not want to live long enough to see this. I never wanted my children to have to undergo this.
"but I'm also the kind of person who rips the tags off mattresses despite the fact that it's illegal."
What a rebel you are! Sorry to tell you, but unless you are a mattress retailer it is not illegal to rip that tag off. It says right on the label that it doesn't apply to consumers.
The most bizarre conspiracy theories are those promulgated by BLM and their ilk, which includes Xiden, his side-kick, and most of the MSM, because the theories are easily debunked with widely available data (i.e. from the FBI), but the debunkers are ignored, shouted down or cancelled, and the conspirators "pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened".

C. Wright Mills wrote The Power Elite in 1956. Schattschneider wrote The Semi-Sovereign People in 1960. G. William Domhoff has published numerous updates to his Who Rules America? since 1967. The basic dynamics they describe have not changed. See Thomas Dye's Top Down Policymaking.

Yup. I watched this publicity hound douchebag over a period of about 35 years. Couldn’t stand him. What a douchebag! Of course I never saw the interviews in which he clearly explained his interests in trade, immigration and not running our troops through foreign meat grinders in
Wars for profit. I also wasn’t aware of his love of America. When he was elected, he (a first time elected politician) went to Washington,
Rolled up his sleeves and said “let’s go”! Immediately, right then, the democrat traitors looked at the Republican traitors (Basically everybody) and collectively thought whoops! This cannot stand! We gotta kill this guy. And don’t think for a second they wouldn’t. The absolute best part of the Donald Trump presidency is the laying bare of just how despicable damned near everybody involved in Federal governing is.
Are there any countries that could accommodate an influx of 75 million people and their children? We could start a mass exodus to, say, Argentina and seek political asylum.
Responding to myself, yesterday, 5:04 p.m., today there's this from CNN. Apparently the fire extinguisher theory has been ruled out (though someone did throw a fire extinguisher at three other Capitol police, injuring them). Bear spray or pepper spray? No evidence on video, so far. Pre-existing medical conditions? The article says we don't know that, either.
Sicknick went back to his office after the riot and subsequently collapsed and died. At this point we have no idea how or of what, except that obviously it wasn't instantaneous.
As I see it, that means that the actual number of people deliberately killed by the rioters stands at ZERO. Though obviously it wasn't for lack of trying.
