Pelosi Blasts GOP Leadership's Underreaction To Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Remarks

[TheMoonisMyLantern]

So, Marjorie Taylor is nothing but a troll, I don't think she believes a single dag on crazy thing she says, she just knows that if she acts worse than trump that the republican party will help ascent to power. What disturbs me about this article is that Pelosi feels that there is threat within congress and plots to kill certain members. Every day I understand these republican trumpists less and less, they say they want "healing", no they want war and anarchy like it's the wild wild west.

They pander to them because they need the votes and they pretty much have the same agenda...anti-abortion, small government, "religious freedom", etc.   I co-existed with this for many years, but that they switched directions to support Trump is what baffles me.

One can also say the majority of people voting Democrat were Christian as that is the dominant faith here, especially among African Americans that overwhelming were against Trump.  It's interesting to see that phenomenon  that two, sometimes conversation Christian groups of Christians are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum.  

But that's the history of the country.  White men in this country have long defended their cruelty, racism and misogyny with religion. Religion is often a common denominator when talking about features and tools of repressive or oppressive societies.

At 23:23 the mother of a child shot and killed at Parkland school spoke with Georgia representative Greene about her claim that the Parkland and Sandy Hook school shootings were NOT violence, but were staged by actors:

It doesn't seem there would be any question that the majority of Trump / Republican voters identify as Christian, although I'm also not really sure why it matters.  

One thing I've learned and observed that is borne out every time I work Psych and this is in both patients and staff, * is that feelings appear to obey the principles of Osmosis! 

People will always respond to another whose situation or displayed 'empathy' appear to resonate with their own situation or experience. 'Shared experience syndrome'? 

Trump is a BULLY, he's that way because he's a small insecure person inside who's unable to navigate an educated nuanced world. He was born into money and raised by compromised parents as evidenced by the way they behaved. Surrounded by a world of people who are educated and earned their money through their education and bettering themselves socially, he's unable to function. Notice how often he's compared to a mafia boss? Because he behaves that way!

Why? Notice how often mafia bosses are depicted and I've personally seen, how crass and extravagant their houses are decorated. They are not subtle people, equating bombast and ostentatiousness with success or the trappings of. That was the only place Trump could fit in. Explains his behaviors. 

He unfortunately has to negotiate in an educated world and learned through emulation, shouting and aggressive behaviors(bullying) gets you a voice or attention. Remember how he pushed aside the Eastern European premier? That exemplifies everything you need to know about Trump. 

His boorish behaviors is to cover his insecurities and small boy feelings. That's why he resonates with evangelicals! They are equally insecure and small feeling inside. Always reaching out for someone to tell them what to do. Trump is just the next evangelical conman! 

The difference is that he lacks insight into his behaviors and how he's actually seen. Evangelicals seeing him as their leader means mimicking his behaviors and since they are equally ignorant of their behaviors, you have the Proud Boys syndrome. Having those weak, pathetic GOP people surrounding doesn't help. It's just so embarrassing to America that's the image they project. We'll pay for it by the lack of respect! 

Behaviors and feelings always want to be equalized. Osmosis!

In the absence of vociferous Republican condemnation in Congress, Greene is doubling down. In a statement Friday, titled "A Message to the Mob," Greene thumbed her nose at detractors, claiming that the more the "radical, left-wing Democrat mob" and the "Fake News media" try to "take me out," the more money she raises from supporters.

"Every attack. Every lie. Every smear strengthens my base of support at home and across the country because people know the truth and are fed up with the lies," Greene wrote, blaming "cancel culture" and urging the GOP to stand in solidarity. "If Republicans cower to the mob," she said, they would be "opening the door to let the vicious cancel culture mob take out every one of you."

Can someone tell me what lies people are saying about her?  She seems to be following the Trump model that the fake media is making up lies even though there is evidence and even film of the things they are saying about her.  They aren't making any false accusations but stating facts.  The Trump model is to deny the reality and play victim and raise money and rally the troops.  She seems as brilliant as him at that.

The way this country moves, she'll probably be the next President.

Trump has made it acceptable for us to just ignore the facts, the truth, or reality and to make your own truths and fantasy world. The Republicans have eaten that crap up and now obnoxious woman from Georgia is trying to be more crazy that Trump!

What burns my shorts is just how ignorant and uneducated these elected officials are, especially people at the top of the GOP like McConnell and McCarthy etc. Seriously, these people have been beaten senseless with the stupid stick. 

More than anything currently, both parties need to be in sync. It's like they have learned nothing, EVER!! 

2008,1929? Recessions. That is exactly where we are headed! No money until the pandemic is over! No building, no law, no production, no paychecks, tightened purse strings, no spending. This is Economy 101!

Trump was an idiot, but the party of 'fiscal responsibility' allowed that moron to pass a tax bill that benefited no one but the wealthy and it's not like 2008 is a distant memory? China is in the ascendancy currently, but even they will be suffering. Work together instead of supporting obvious crackpots like MTG and Hawley etc. 

I seriously hope Yellen and Warren corners Biden and slap him silly with the possible outcomes if he doesn't get rid of the filibuster and stop the nice guy ***! 

There's no working with idiots. Intelligence doesn't work through osmosis. I don't want another 2008 because I saw first hand then and now how many firms are folding. 

GOP has no idea the incredible harm Trump has done to our international credibility and that void is being filled by the Chinese and the Europeans.

Mitch McConnell added his rebuke on the issue;  suspect he spoke with Kevin McCarthy who's to speak with Rep. Greene tomorrow.

The Hill 2/01/21

McConnell says Taylor Greene's embrace of conspiracy theories a 'cancer' to GOP, country

Quote

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blasted Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer for the Republican Party.” 

“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,” McConnell said in a statement first shared with The Hill. “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party.”

McConnell didn't mention Greene by name in his three-sentence statement, but his rare, scathing remarks about a freshman GOP lawmaker from the other chamber suggests he recognizes the potential damage her violent rhetoric and bizarre conspiracy theories could inflict on congressional Republicans as they try to take back both the House and Senate in next year’s midterms.  

Greene responded on Twitter, writing that "the real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully." ...

Greene thinks that weak republicans lose gracefully? 

Bwahahaha

Classic Republican Bill Kristol snark

All eyes are on McQarthy...will he caucus with DC republican leadership or will he caucus with the twice impeached Liar in Florida.  This is going to be interesting.

I think that the facists are going to win this battle for the heart of the GOP.
