Marjorie Taylor Greene may yet be our Gollum.
What a hilarious way to put it
The tweet in question to save you the click.
The replies are hilarious. Everyone is 100% in favor of this idea, but the MAGA dipshits don’t realize she’s literally only doing this to protect a pedophile sex trafficker.
So, MTGs plan is to call out the entire Republican party as corrupt and rally her supporters to air their dirty laundry to the public. Truly fantastic, MTG. Please don’t let anyone talk you out of it.
Does she think this is a burn? It’s absolutely what should happen.
TFW you accidentally say something smart and you don’t even know it
She’s threatening other Republicans to keep them in line with Trump.
The headline only touches on it but the article goes deeper into her comment.
It’s not an honest request to release anything, but a threat to release everything if they release the Gaetz report.
I think most of us know it’s not a genuine threat, but we don’t care. I hope the MAGA mob eggs her on until she doubles down, and I hope in the process of eating itself alive the entire GOP fails to pass any of their regressive legislation.
So it’s a good idea for multiple reasons?
Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but this isn’t an actual suggestion to release the Gaetz report.
It’s a threat directed at other Republicans that if we are going to release the Gaetz report, we’re going to release many other reports too.
Marjorie is a die-hard bootlicker, and she’s not going to break lines with Trump.
Her full tweet is in the article. The headline only touches on her intentions.
I mean, it doesn’t detract the sentiment of the people. Do it. People want to see the ethic reports on everyone in a position of power.
Is that tim pool without his beanie?
…yes
Am…Am I agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Is…Is Marjorie Taylor Greene making smart, intelligent, good points?
We really are in bizarro world.
When Democrat politicians fuck up, other Democrats will absolutely call for, and get, resignations. Even things that boil down to consenting adults in privacy can result in resignations when it’s seen to compromise a politician.
When Republicans fuck up, the party circles the wagons and goes full defensive. They will absolutely fight to resist any calls to resign, using any tactic they can think of to keep their latest pedo/pervert/con man/criminal in power. Only if the evidence is incontrovertible, and the outcry impossible to ignore, will they ever consider resignation, and as we’ve seen with Gaetz, that’s not even necessarily the end of their career.
MTG is exactly the kind of brainlet to think that Democrats work the same way Republicans do. She thinks “Release all the Ethics reports” will make Democrats back down, or at least intimidate them. A party agreeing to release ethics reports relating to their own people is utterly unthinkable to her.
Well, thank you for coming in and ruining the moment with your facts and reason and obvious statements and common sense
She also thinks it will matter. When a lot of voters have shown they have no problem voting for morally bankrupt people as long as they have the right letter next to their name.
A broken clock is still right 2 times a day.
You’re giving her too much credit.
Eh she’s more like a 24 hr clock. Or maybe one of those little “comic-a-day” calendars that you can out on your desk that always seem to be on the wrong day until you remember to update it…
Don’t worry, you agree with her words but not her intent. She doesn’t actually want to do it, she just wants to use the threat of it to keep Gaetz’s report secret.
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that the Democratic party is far more morally corrupt than the Republican party. So therefore she believes that this is a nuclear option she does not realize that this is what everyone literally wants, well everyone except for the people in her own party.
Right. Not only does she completely misunderstand her enemy, but that misunderstanding has resulted in her explicitly saying, in public, that a whole lot of shady shit has been happening inside the GOP. We all knew that, but saying it out loud is something different.
There are weaknesses in fascism that we should look to exploit. One is that they pick people for loyalty first and competence a distant second. Another is their complete inability to have a good mental model of their enemy’s actual strengths and weaknesses.
MTG seems to be in the minority of elected Republican representatives in that she actually seems to believe the things she says
Don’t worry, she’s not, at least not on purpose. Even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while.
Pretty sure she’s being sarcastic.Blind pigs are far more capable than this creature.
She’s not, i don’t think she wants this to happen and i think she knows that people won’t agree to this kind of thing.
But what she’s saying is right. The people deserve to know what our representatives are up to.
Point, point… it’s just a single point so it was probably just an accident
fuckin do it. don’t threaten me with a good time.
edit word
Ok.
Do it.
The overwhelming problem is that the Dems tend to hold their members accountable while the republicans absolutely DGAF and happily keep literal criminals in their ranks.
She’s basically acknowledging there’s plenty of dirt, but the only offenses they’ll care about is their opponents’.
Even if the democrats weren’t actually holding their members accountable, it should be done. So what if dozens of politicians, both R and D get expelled as a result. Nobody should be upset that people who had bad ethics reports get expelled.
It would be ideal if both sides held their members accountable equally. My point was that this isn’t the case.
Especially looking forward to all those Biden ethics violations they spent months trying to find and millions of dollars
It will probably be a short read compared to the comey report though
She’s right and all…
But will it actually matter? The public voted for a pedo rapist felon. Surely if the triple threat is your pick for president, to be considered “incompatible” you would have had to do something truly horrific.
I’m thoroughly convinced this country would have elected Jeffery Dahmer.
If he had an “R” next to his name, no doubt.
Jeffrey Dah (ME-R)
Ummm, Ok!!! Don’t threaten me with a good time
