  1. Oh, so you have links. You should of told me this before now! :banghead:

    But how come I live in an urban area, well maybe you would call it the suburbs, and there are Walmarts all over the place? And now that you mention it, I don't think they do sell firearms.

    It's been a while since I have been in a Walmart, but I do not remember them selling guns. We don't have strict gun control laws here. A lot of blue demographics though.

    Yep, we really should get these two into a mud wrestling pit. Think of the entertainment value.

    Lauren Boebert is accused of telling Marjorie Taylor Greene to 'Get the f**k out of my face' after Georgia Rep. warned her to stop blocking Kevin McCarthy's election as House Speaker
    • Cameras caught the moment Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted fellow Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert during the Speaker vote
    • Green, a supporter of Kevin McCarthy, rolled her eyes and told Boebert, 'You need to stop,' when the Colorado rep was one of the key holdout votes
    • Although it's unclear what Boebert's response was, viewers said she appeared to say, 'Get the f**k out of my face' before ignoring Greene
    • It was one of the many heated moments that night after congressman Mike Rogers also charged at Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Should Scare You
    https://www.19fortyfive.com/2023/01/mtg-believes-some-insane-things/

    Marjorie Taylor Greene is perhaps the U.S. Congress’s most controversial figure.

    Deservedly so – the junior representative is a bona fide conspiracy theorist.

    Still, Greene, known as MTG, is on politically sound footing; she dominated her 2020 Republican primary, before cruising to a general election victory and recent reelection.

    For many, especially members of the left, MTG personifies the alt-right movement – its outspokenness, its detachment from reality, and its anger. While some right-wing angst is often rooted in valid concerns and problems, MTG’s spin is especially detached, and especially toxic.

    MTG is reminiscent of a crazy aunt, ranting on facebook – only MTG has a congressional megaphone to disseminate her deranged worldview.

    The Strangest ‘Theories’
    MTG is a supporter of the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories; she has stated that there are links between Hillary Clinton, pedophilia, and human sacrifice.

    MTG has also proposed that Clinton murdered her political rivals, including JFK Jr., who died in a 1999 plane crash.

    It only gets more outlandish from there.

    In 2012, Media Matters uncovered an old MTG Facebook post, in which MTG agreed with a conspiracy theory known as Frazzledrip. This narrative holds that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin once murdered a child in a satanic ritual, before killing a cop to cover up the sacrifice.

    MTG has denied that a plane ever hit the Pentagon during September 11th. She has expressed doubt that a lone gunman executed the 2017 Las Vegas shooting by himself. She believed Heather Heyer’s murder during the Charlottesville Unite The Right rally in 2017 was an “inside job.”

    With MTG, the conspiracy theories don’t really end.

    She once suggested that then-SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been replaced with a body double. MTG has cast doubt on the authenticity of 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. In 2018, after the Camp Fire, she shared a theory on Facebook that California Gov. Jerry Brown, working in concert with PG&E, Rothschild & Co., and Solaren, had used “space solar generators” to start a deadly wildfire.

    Representative Greene once shared a video titled With Open Gates: The Forced Collective Suicide of European Nations. The video promoted the antisemitic white genocide conspiracy theory, which holds that Zionists are conspiring to flood Europe with migrants sufficient to replace the native white populations. Greene shared the video with the caption, “This is what the UN wants all over the world.”

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Low-Hanging Fruit for Dems
    In addition to antisemitism, MTG has also criticized the Catholic Church. Curiously, she was baptized, raised, and married as a Catholic. She left the church after the Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal broke, and then converted as an Evangelical. In 2022, MTG stated that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops were destroying America with their immigration and refugee work. MTG felt that Satan was controlling the Catholic Church.

    Democrats habitually target MTG – she is a low-hanging fruit, after all. More telling, however, is the criticism MTG receives from her own party, the GOP. In 2021, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement in The Hill stating that “loony lies and conspiracy theories” are a “cancer for the Republican Party.”

    While the statement did not name MTG specifically, the meaning was clear. McConnell clarified nonetheless, stating, “I think I adequately spoke out about how I feel…Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality.”

    Mitt Romney, currently under fire for being mainstream and moderate, said that the GOP’s “big tent is not large enough to both accommodate conservatives and kooks.” Marco Rubio suggested that anyone denying the Parkland shooting’s authenticity was “either deranged or sadist.” MTG doubled-down in response, tweeting that the GOP’s only problem is “weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully.”

    She also leveraged the criticisms toward fundraising efforts. MTG’s behavior has set a very loose standard, meaning she’ll likely enjoy wide latitude to act irreverently and outlandishly in the future. Stay tuned.

    An easy way to smoke out which US Congresspeople are on Russia's payroll is to propose displaying a bust of Zelenskyy on Capitol Hill....annnd MTG just took the bait.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene said the House should "absolutely NOT!" display a bust of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
