MTG Baselessly Claims Georgia Prosecutor Is 'Guilty of' RICO Crimes, Not Trump

The congresswoman called the indictments against Trump "pure communism" and part of a "giant collaboration basically to affect the 2024 election"

Marjorie Taylor Greene is accusing Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis — without evidence — of the very crimes Willis has charged Donald Trump with committing.

Ah, i see she has invoked the famous "I know you are but what am i" talking point

Only now do we understand the full gravity of the passing of Paul Reubens. For decades he was the sacred keeper of this powerful spell. With his exit from our plane of existence, the power has falling into the hands of the minions of the dark hesperidium wraith.

We need another hero to reclaim the spell. A loner, Dottie...a Rebel...

Little does MTGlue know that whatever she’s says about Fani bounces off…

Hopefully she's incapable of flipping to "I know I am, but what are you?" in the likely next attempt to make her look foolish!

I thought Marx's chapter about charging Donald Trump with his alleged crimes after his presidency was an odd departure from the rest of the book too, glad MTG is shining a light on these issues. Nice to see she's well-versed in the legal maxim of immo tibi as well.

"No u"

-This bitch

She's so fucking stupid, that's honestly the best she has.

They're not really this stupid it's an act and is similar to what Russia did when Putin tried to fake election fraud BS. That's where Republicans learned it.

No I agree with you. But MTG is actually fucking stupid on top of it all.

How does that even make sense?

edit: to be clear, this is a rhetorical WTF? but by all means keep the replies coming. Vent, and feel better.

When you have the mental acuity of a microwaved hot pocket anything can make sense.

Conservatives don't have beliefs - they have slogans.

Rational argument is not what they're doing.

Trying to "make it make sense" makes no goddamn sense. Please stop. It won't work.

The card says "moops."

When I first saw that episode, I could never have imagined just how many people would adopt this mentality for the entirety of their political discourse.

The long-standing legal principle of "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever I say bounces off of me and sticks to you".

I’m still working out how they defended T***pers literally rubbing shit on the walls of Congress.

Stop feeding Bigot Barbie with attention. Don't play into its outrage baiting. Internet trolls taught us this a long time ago.

Exactly this. We should be disowning and excluding then entirely. Teach your children why it's inappropriate to do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Exclude hate by excluding haters.

She also declared trump to be rubber and the Georgia DA to be glue. Checkmate libs.

Can you nail a sitting member of Congress for slander?

Don't they get immunity for things said on the floor? Otherwise I'm not sure but that's the only restriction I've heard on it, and even that may have limits. Couldn't read the article either so just reverted to reading the headline and commenting, as is tradition.

Only if it’s in pursuit of their duties.

Hard to see how incitement of an insurrection applies

For example, if you were having a discussion about socialism and providing health care and stuff… you’d be immune for saying that the republicans are in the pockets of big corpo, that would be protected.

If boebert walked in and just announced that Greene likes rainbow kitten stuffed animals…. Well first, greene’d have to prove it’s not true, and that it was intentionally a lie

I'd be surprised if her IQ is higher than my shoe size.

I'll bet she loses a few points every time she goes to the bathroom.

My shoe size is 5, and I just cackled. I should use that line.

"What, double digits?" "Oh no. No no. My shoes are single digits."

Well, MTG is the product of incest and has had 71 abortions. She also beat a hobo to death with a bottle of boone’s farm.

Of all the GOP Nazis, this one is the dullest.

Michael Scott : I am a victim of a hate crime. Stanley knows what I'm talking about.

Stanley : That's not what a hate crime is.

Michael Scott : Well, I hated it, a lot, okay.

I really think someone should explain to her what communism actually is. I don't have any hope it would make a difference though.

Maggie doesn't really understand what words mean. She's like a parrot that just repeats the words that seem to get some kind of response when she first hears them.

Someone tell her that Trump won't pick her ...
