I’m absolutely double-positive it won’t surprise you to learn that America’s favorite poster-person for bluster, blowhardiness and bong-bouncy-bunk went on Fox News on Sunday and made a threat. Amazingly, she didn’t threaten to expose alleged corruption by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by quoting a Russian think-tank bot-factory known as Strategic Culture Foundation, as she did last November. Rather, the Congressperson from North Georgia made her eleventy-zillionth threat to oust the Speaker of the House from her own party, Mike Johnson, using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.
EMPTY Green is an embarrassment to our country and should be nowhere near the levers of government. The education and morality, class and restraint of our representatives has plummeted since tRump entered politics. That any government official would utter foreign enemy's talking points on the floor of Congress, or at all, belies their oath of office. I can't even say I don't understand how these people get elected - I live in Tennessee...
Hah...I can remember the House when Newt Gingrich, and two other House Representatives went off in full cry after Bill Clinton, despite all three of them conducting their own extra-marital affairs. Indeed, Newt is a serial cheater and a despicable one at that. And of course there were several other Reps with rather notable character failings and even child molestation charges..............
I think the character of the people who run for the office of U.S. Representative hasn't changed so much as they just don't have to hide their foibles and flaws as much as before?
I recommend Dana Milbank's THE DESTRUCTIONISTS (subtitled "The Twenty-Five-Year Crack-Up of the Republican Party") to anyone who's blocked Newt et al. of their conscious mind. I'm also old enough to remember when the John Birch Society was considered "fringe." The far-right's current bromance with Putin might surprise ol' Robert Welch, but it's becoming clearer and clearer that though the Republicans are anti-commie, many of them are fine with fascists.
You're right, I had forgotten - at least tried to - about Gingrich. I still feel there are more of him now, than then. At least, I don't remember them amplifying enemy propaganda.
I agree in that I think the far right has slid even further to the right--the fringe isn't just "fringey" anymore--there's a whole clan of them; each one extreme in his/her/their own "unique" fashion. I find myself thinking that the further rightwards that they slide, 'the closer to the edge of the Earth they be'. They must all believe that the Earth is round--they'd surely be afraid of falling off if they were Flat Earthers!
Oh, I’m sure there are some flat earthers in the MAGA ranks. It looks flat to me! Doesn’t it to you? After all, the 1969 moon landing and 9/11 were elaborate hoaxes, right? It’s the People’s House, and we are simply being treated to another tawdry demonstration of what kind of people make up about 1/3 of this country. MT Mouth, Comer, Jordan, Boebert, Massie, Gaetz, and the rest of that crew speak for the underbelly of America that one hopes never to encounter.
Don't forget the serial adulterer eft was ambassador to the vatican under the barking yam. According to the vatican, everyone is forgiven, including but not limited to serial adulterers and pederasts.
Marjorie Motor-Mouth may think she will become Speaker if she is able to oust Holy Mike Johnson. I suspect she has a big and unwelcome surprise coming. Perhaps it's time for her party to consider expelling her, and for DOJ to investigate how much Russian money she's being paid.
True enough, but she's also mouthing Russian propaganda word for word, including such obscure rantings as the status of Transcarpathia, which I doubt she's ever heard of or could even find on a map.
Western Ukraine, once part of Carpathian Ruthenia. A much fought-over region but it's pretty obscure. No way would Motor-Mouth Marj know anything about it - it's coming from Putin.
My father was raised near the Carpathian Mountains, I believe. His town of Boryslav was in Poland but subsequently was absorbed by Ukraine much later. He was born in 1914.
It sounds like a joke, but she in fact offered an amendment to the Israel aid bill that would have given the IDF a billion extra bucks to develop — wait for it — SPACE LASERS! Lady: we already have space lasers. You yourself revealed that a couple of years ago when you posted to Facebook that we had used them to set a particularly deadly California wildfire.
LOL, we all need some comic relief from these buffoons, and eventually an end to their much more dangerous assaults on democracy, of course, thanks Lucian.
Let's be real, come January Jeffries will be Speaker. In the meantime let the Republicans continue to prove to the world that they neither can, nor want, to govern. With MAGAs like Marj or Gaetz or Jordan, or Nazis like Gosar, it's all performance art designed to get them time on Fox Noise. But the people of their districts need services. They want to thin their rep cares about them. Before long this will end badly for the MAGAs because they neither provide services nor care. Hell, MAGA Marj doesn't even have an office in her district. Racism, hate and owning the libs only goes so far when people need help with Social Security, Medicare or the VA.
The republican roadshow rolls on. if it not drumpf overloading his Depends then its this witch continuing to demonstrate what a stone cold dumb shit she is!
"The Mouth from the South" - that's awesome hahaha!
Well when TMFTS crawls back under the rock from whence she oozed to take her "which way is the wind blowing" poll I hope the rock has a sudden unstable interaction with gravity.
The more famous "mouth from the south" was Ted Turner. Playing with people's names can be great fun, however. Like Matt Putz, Josh Hollowhead, and knock yourselves out.
I didn't remember that one for TT - I do remember Captain Outrageous. Since Don Snoreleone and his minions like Moscow Margie have made playground name calling one of the main pillars of MAGA it's good to give them some of their own back.
The Mouth has a Democratic opponent who was an Army general and cattleman -- an industry that is big in that part of the state. Shawn Harris. He thinks he has a chance and maybe he does!
He defied her. Johnson had more spine than she thought. The Mouth has retreated to consider her options, if any. I think she will huff and puff but there won't be any traction on another motion to vacate. The implications of the Ukraine vote with a large component of sensible Republicans are possibly more than she can comprehend.
Who would have thought a few months ago that the two MAGAs restoring bi-partisanship to the House would be Moscow Marge and Bible Mike. Together they have done it, Marge by making the extreme caucus irrelevant and Mike by having a son going into the military soon and realizing that if we don't act to save Ukraine our kids will be next at risk.
(1) How did it come to be the state of Georgia gave the nation two grifting House Republican backbenchers (MTG-Newton Leroy Gingrich) whose histrionics and political theater redefined American political discourse as Looney Tunes by civilized people at home and abroad?
(2) Speaker's Johnson's 180 on bringing the aid packages to the floor after blocking them for months can be interpreted as he no longer views the Speakership as something he desires to continue. Same with being a member of the House. when cushy Board of Directors seats and/or Conservative Stink Tanks may be calling his name. So, Chip Cosplay Confederate Officer) Roy' (R-TX) demands the Speaker resign best be reminded to be careful about what you wish for.
Thanks LT for swinging for the fence !! You lifted My funny bones, when I felt discouraged watching The Keystone Cops in D.C act like they know what they're doing. I'm tired of their names,
I wonder if MTG ever stops to think that if she was a Russian citizen in Russia and tried to make excuses for the US regarding their military activities and criticised Putin as she does Biden she would not be free for long.

"EMPTY Green" -- perfect! You can be proud of that.
Marjorie Motor-Mouth may think she will become Speaker if she is able to oust Holy Mike Johnson. I suspect she has a big and unwelcome surprise coming. Perhaps it's time for her party to consider expelling her, and for DOJ to investigate how much Russian money she's being paid.
Honestly she’s such a moron she’s probably doing this without being paid!
True enough, but she's also mouthing Russian propaganda word for word, including such obscure rantings as the status of Transcarpathia, which I doubt she's ever heard of or could even find on a map.
That is pretty telling, I think. Where is Transcarpathia anyway?
Western Ukraine, once part of Carpathian Ruthenia. A much fought-over region but it's pretty obscure. No way would Motor-Mouth Marj know anything about it - it's coming from Putin.
My father was raised near the Carpathian Mountains, I believe. His town of Boryslav was in Poland but subsequently was absorbed by Ukraine much later. He was born in 1914.

Now let's not run down performance art. It was once a noble calling.
Gaetz threw out Boebert's name as a replacement for Johnson were that to happen.
Literally the perfect face for the MAGA House Republicans
The republican roadshow rolls on. if it not drumpf overloading his Depends then its this witch continuing to demonstrate what a stone cold dumb shit she is!

I certainly like Matt Putz!!
I didn't remember that one for TT - I do remember Captain Outrageous. Since Don Snoreleone and his minions like Moscow Margie have made playground name calling one of the main pillars of MAGA it's good to give them some of their own back.
I read yesterday that Moscow Marjorie was being praised on Russian State TV.
Praising her wardrobe choices--the white fur coat. Have you ever wondered whether it's painful to be that stupid? I have....
To misquote Robert Burns "God give her the gift to see herself as others see her."
I often wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror.
It is of course a cracked mirror!
The Mouth has a Democratic opponent who was an Army general and cattleman -- an industry that is big in that part of the state. Shawn Harris. He thinks he has a chance and maybe he does!
https://www.shawnforgeorgia.com/
Thanks! Hope that the district knows a good thing when they see it. He sure looks like the real thing here—the exact opposite of Marj.
He is not trailer trash.
Shes blowing Donald for the VP Spot
I don't think that could happen with a bag over her head!
Double bag to be safe.
What? She’s not his type?
Steven nows the time for your photographic skills
Now there's a visual I didn't need--Where's the eye bleach????
There is a shortage of bleach, maga's are using it for covid cures.
She has a long history of that, she was particularly fond of gyms, according to her ex 🤷♂️
He defied her. Johnson had more spine than she thought. The Mouth has retreated to consider her options, if any. I think she will huff and puff but there won't be any traction on another motion to vacate. The implications of the Ukraine vote with a large component of sensible Republicans are possibly more than she can comprehend.

Together they have done it, Marge by making the extreme caucus irrelevant and Mike by having a son going into the military soon and realizing that if we don't act to save Ukraine our kids will be next at risk.
He's not that smart.
maybe his son is smarter. Actually I'm wondering if it was exposure to real intelligence reports that the Speaker sees that spun him around.
Mike,
Besides his son.
The suits sat him down and showed him the movie starting with movie stars that sailed the Adriatic.
The suits did that to Obama. And in 2 weeks aftet taking office Barack was ok wirh the program. No problem droning bad guys.
Even if they were American citizens. He did good so the suits made sure he got to do it twice.
Ps, i bet Mike left the rooms (theater)
to change his underwear.
I'm not understanding your first sentence.
After the suits gave mike the scoop since 1946
That’s what I think. He actually listened to the experts and the pros.
(1) How did it come to be the state of Georgia gave the nation two grifting House Republican backbenchers (MTG-Newton Leroy Gingrich) whose histrionics and political theater redefined American political discourse as Looney Tunes by civilized people at home and abroad?

Strategic Culture Foundation. They’re getting better, in older days it would have been “Foundation Culture Strategic. 😎
I wonder if MTG ever stops to think that if she was a Russian citizen in Russia and tried to make excuses for the US regarding their military activities and criticised Putin as she does Biden she would not be free for long.
Some of those Moscow buildings have windows several stories high.
And if she survives the fall, there are gulags and re-education centers.
