“I’m kind of sick of the chaos,” said Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a key extremist and firebrand who opposes the funding deal. “I came here to be serious about solving problems, not to produce clickbait.”

'Sick of the chaos,' says the number 2 agent of chaos. Have psychiatrists talked through a diagnosis for her? Because she doesn't function in any normal or healthy way.
I just wished MTG would get on her broom and fly away to her home in hell. A while back, she was accused of having extra-marital affairs while she was married. What guy would be so hard up to actually have an affair with such a loud mouthed hag like her? Her hateful and arrogant behavior amplifies her already ugly appearance to the extreme.
My criticism and insults about her got me banned from the Daily KOS site 4 years ago. And that site is supposedly a Democratic site. Her behavior is that of a person that is preoccupied with revenge, hate, and contempt just like her GOD and savior Donald TUMP. She must be sick of herself, when she said she is sick of the chaos because she the front and center of chaos in Fascist GQP Congress. She is most certainly not a normal person, or whatever she is. I have referred to her as, ''Alice the Goon'' in the past. She is a horrible insult to the good women in the world as Donald TUMP is a horrible insult to men. Freaks of nature could be used to describe DJT and MTG.
John, I share your anger and disgust and agree with a lot of what you say - but you're mixing your criticism with a lot of ad hominems. Most admins will ban users who lean on insults more than reasoned arguments. But it's REALLY hard in cases like these outrageous narcissists. I honestly think MTG has some serious mental disorder or illness and I'm going to do some research when I have more time.
Yes, she does have some serious mental disorder, or something wrong with her that causes her to act out like she does. Yes, it is hard to contain my anger toward these people because of their narcissism and childish behavior in their efforts to destroy our way of life. Same goes for DJT. The thing that outraged me the most was MTG showing the pictures of Hunter Biden naked. That was totally unacceptable.
I might ask, how are they accusing Hunter Biden of contempt of Congress when he isn't a Federal Government member of Congress?? The insanity of these people just seems to get worse over time.
John, your contempt for MTG is probably shared by all of us here. But statements like “What guy would be so hard up to actually have an affair with such a loud mouthed hag like her?” imply she isn’t the picture of submissive femininity Mike Johnson and others revere. In other words, focus on her behavior, not stereotypes, in your criticism.
ML, I noticed that too and while I can't stand her and as a woman am especially disgusted by her behavior, I was bothered by John's comment about why men might not choose a woman as a partner.
She cannot help parts of her physical appearance, face shape, skin tone, etc. which are hereditary. She could scowl less, which would help, but she has probably been called ugly since childhood and suffers.
Her behavior is a different matter. My mom always said, “Pretty is as pretty does.” So, on that score my mom would say she was “acting ugly.”
Men who are unattractive are not so often humiliated with any male equivalent of “hag.” Still, I can’t abide a person like her.
I agree with John wondering what man would want such a loud-mouthed hag like MTG. The same way I wonder what woman would want the loud-mouthed hag we know as Donald Trump.
You don’t have to be a member of congress to be in Contempt. However, Hunter Biden is not in contempt. As Jared Moskowitz pointed out, he was offered the option to appear in public, but when he accepted that option. . . Oops! Suddenly the rules changed!
From The Hill: “Last fall, Chairman Comer made an explicit offer that people like Hunter had, like him, the option to attend a deposition or a public hearing, whichever they chose. Hunter chose a hearing where Republicans could not distort, manipulate, or misuse that testimony,”
Additionally, look at the number of Republicans (elected) who refused to obey the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoenas! It’s a case of extremely political hypocrisy!
And the ploy where they want him to testify in secret - whoa! The only instance where that should be allowed is when the witness is testifying as to classified information, not about a case where it was already investigated for 2 years. This isn't a contempt case, it's harassment of a private citizen.
Everyone's taste is different, I guess. If she were a decent human being I'd consider her an attractive woman. The attacks on her appearance just don't make sense to me. It would be different if she were using similar ad hominems against her opponents in stead of calling them Communists.
I do not hold with MTG's behavior, but I also have observed that her education is sorely inadequate. If you recall her court appearance when she was accused of violating the 14th Section 3, she constantly looked to Matt Gaetz to see how she should respond. Did you notice her facial expression the other day when Mike Johnson was responding to the press in the hall? She's there to gather information and report to someone else. Did she bring the Intel that determined when McCarthy should be tossed? Trump guides her every step while literally ignoring her in public. IMHO. Trump's molls in Congress fall into two categories of sycophant, the educated, Stefanic and Mace and the mean girls, MTG and Boebert, all of which believe they can ascend to power under a misogynist. I think their fate will be more in line with the unfortunate Ivana Trump, buried in a grave on a golf course.
Interesting observation about the educated and uneducated sycophants. To piggy back on that, the uneducated have engaged in their MAGA look-at-me-look-at-me thrall from the get-go by which they got elected by the equally uneducated. My fascination lies with Stefanic and Mace who did a bait and switch with their voters--both started out as reasonable Republicans with seeming integrity and principles, whose brush with power has had an aggressive drug-like effect on them and they morphed into monster MAGA guard dogs. It's hard to digest....
Yes, I recall Stefanik, during her first congressional campaign, telling voters in her district that she'd work across the aisles, yada yada yada. Her predecessor at the time was a Democrat. My, how she has changed. "Bait and switch" is exactly right.
John, criticizing MTG's views or actions is perfectly appropriate. Using misogynistic tropes such as witch references and loud-mouthed hag, and calling her ugly, shouldn't be part of it. We shouldn't sound like *them*.
While I certainly find much to criticize about MTG, I don't care for the misogynistic comments. Many of us identify as witches in one way or another and are mindful about the history of the burning times, when women were murdered in public. It is painful to read the way you have framed your criticism.
Share your disgust. However, I object to your insults on the grounds that they serve to diminish the full impact of what you are saying.
Yes, her face is not well-proportioned to my eye, and her voice grates on my ear. But I've had lovely intimate experiences with people who might be called homely.
MTG is a bombast, a liar, and a hypocrite. She is, by word and action, a contemptible betrayer of solemn oaths, branding her unworthy of trust. These are not insults or matters of opinion. They are plain facts. To possess the fairest face in the land would not cure these faults.
Well said, when i am disgusted with a person like her, i tend to go overboard and let my temper do the talking way too much. Your description of her is well said and much more civil.
I have also had lovely intimate experiences with people that might be called homely. I actually see a person that is homely when i look in the mirror, especially at my age now. I cringe when i look at photos of me when i was younger and not nearly as homely as i am now..
The main thing about MTG is mainly her behavior and her actions which are unbecoming of a House of Representatives member, but she sure isn't the only one in the House with a bad temper and unreasonable behavior, there are both male and female members that want to make life miserable to everyone that disagrees with their extremist ideas for our government.
I don’t think any man could fall romantically in love with MTG. Her affair was with a Tantric sex coach right? Was she paying him fees? That’s a Gigalo for Marg right? So I quess she has a lot in common with Matt Gaetz!
I agree with you about how the daily kos seems to police certain posts, especially ones about repub women. I used to support that site years ago but stopped when one of my comments was flagged for calling a repub woman a bitch for the way she spoke about LGBTQ people. I don't read much from them anymore due to the word police.
Hello Alexandra. I’m in the psychiatry business. Here is what I see: she is a poser for #45. The similarity she and Bobert share with him is a lack of knowledge or interest in learning. Both women like T are histrionic. No insight. They are like 2 daughters of a narcissist and sociopath father who want him to like them, to pay attention to them so they have worth. Without that approval they are nothing. My opinion…
Please do not confuse Israel with the Netanyahu regime.
(Just as we would not equate Palestine with Hamas, or the USA with the Trump regime.)
Netanyahu will drag out the war to suppress criticism by Israelis (who are still in the streets protesting his regime) and to put Biden between the Americans who cry antisemitism at any criticism of Israeli policy and those who cry genocide at any support for Israel. Netanyahu is hoping to help reelect Trump who gave him full support for his worst abuses.
American friends of Israel and Palestine should unite behind Biden and push his administration for more public support for a ceasefire and for sovereign geographically autonomous Israeli and Palestinian states. Both of which Blinken is working on.
Protest is necessary, but diplomacy is essential. Historically, Democratic presidents - Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden - have been more fair than Republican presidents.
Protest against injustice is always necessary. But it is not sufficient. Whether nationally as protest in addition to voting or internationally as protest in addition to diplomacy.
Ultimately justice has to be legislated and signed into law as mutually agreed frameworks, in order to be enforced relatively peacefully. This is accomplished at the negotiating table, not in the streets.
I have to respectfully disagree. The modern state of Israel was founded on an extended terrorist atrocity known as the Nakba. Netanyahu is just more of the same.
You give the reading of many Palestinians. And of many antiZionists. It is not the only reading. As in the Netanyahu administration's response to the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7, one can choose to be apologists for endless reactionary reflexive violence with an endgame of mutual destruction. Or one can call for a ceasefire and for diplomatic solutions. Perhaps not as cathartic or immediately gratifying as indulging in unmitigated violence, but ultimately this ends at the negotiating table. Better to have fewer bodies to climb over - no matter how useful high body counts may be for propaganda
There is more than one reading of the Nzai Holocaust, too.
Way back in 1923, the Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinski said the quiet part out loud in "The Iron Wall" when he compared the Palestinians to the American Indians:
They will never give up their land; they will fight. But "our cause is good," which justifies the unpleasant things we have to do to make the Palestinians disappear.
Beyond that, the Palestinians descend from Jews who converted to Islam, and also from the Idumeans (Edomites, sons of Esau the elder brother of Jacob) who fought side-by-side with the Hebrews against the Romans when the Temple of Herod (himself an Idumean/Palestinian) was destroyed.
“Blinken is always doing sociopathic stuff like this. Late last month he tweeted, “This has been an extraordinarily dangerous year for press around the world. Many killed, many more wounded, hundreds detained, attacked, threatened, injured — simply for doing their jobs. I am profoundly grateful to the press for getting accurate, timely information to people.”
I mean, can you believe the gall of this freak? As though his own administration wasn’t responsible for most of those killings. As though Israel has not spent the last three months directing wildly disproportionate firepower at the places it knows journalists are hiding.
He’s standing there on top of a pile of corpses while mournfully shaking his head about their tragic unfortunate deaths.”
"Ancient Demon was present at the crucifixion of Jesus, because there was no way for a demon who was charged with protection of the royal family to not be present...."
"Asmodiel decided to use its knowledge to start a new organization. This organization was the beginning of freemasonry in Italy. (This was about the 7th century A.D.) Asmodiel was interested in working with humans who wanted to learn about Hebrew culture, but didn’t want to be part of the Hebrew religion. This became Asmodiel’s specialty...."
No one official or official body, not even POTUS, and not even the UN, can stop in their tracks combatants bent on total destruction. Enough people have to agree that blood running through the streets is entirely wrong.
Please help me understand this. Netanyahu and his administration and Hamas(probably Iran and Russia..and who knows who else) are responsible for the genocide as they have been for years. Having said that, Netanyahu does not reflect all of Israel or that of all semetic populations.
From what I have seen....Biden and Blinken and other negotiators have been pushing Israel to withdraw....to take a humanitarian approach that will not result in civilian and hostage death. Does everyone here think the US needs to invade Israel to stop what they are doing? To cut off decades of military support that occured decades before Biden and resulted in Palestinian oppression, death, and disappearances?
I think these accusations of Biden and his administration are what always happens. Decades of policy that lead up to this horrific outcome and the administration in charge is blamed for another country's actions.
To me....Hamas and Netanyahu are responsible for the genocide. They are responsible for exploiting innocent civilians who want nothing more than to live in peace. I think, expecting the US to turn policy on a dime and stop the Israeli invasion is Colonial thinking.
The administration in charge is part of a continuing Establishment policy of turning a blind eye to lawless Israel’s continuing violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and its oppression of the inhabitants of the illegally occupied territories.
Biden is more "Establishment" than any previous president since George H.W. Bush.
Perhaps it is well to remember that Israeli settler extremists in the West Bank are terrorists, and therefore Israel, funding the settlers and giving them guns, is a state sponsor of terrorism.
See “France Calls West Bank Israeli Settler Violence a ‘Policy of Terror’”
How about going after MTG and 'impeaching' her? What a foul mouthpiece for the GOP, what a completely useless, self-important brat! Why is she constantly in the limelight, like her idol 'tfg'? Is there absolutely no Representative that has no dirt on the shirt who is able and willing to have rational discussions and negotiations with the Dems to finally get something useful DONE?
GeorgiaGirl’s friends are outnumbered, 2 to 1, in Greene’s district by people who will continue to vote for Greene, or someone even worse. No attempt to vote her out can succeed.
They need to get behind her opponent. He may not be ruthless enough to counter her shenanigans. I drive through N GA. The yard signs are MTG at her worst.
Marli, it must be evident by now that the Repubs WANT to get NOTHING done while Biden is president so they can point to the failure of his administration to accomplish its goals for the American people. It apparently doesn't occur to them that they display their own incompetence in governing in any rational kind of way.
They are not incompetent. They are willfully nefarious. They have a plan, are executing it effectively and with great enthusiasm, and are within a toss-up of succeeding. Even if, by some miracle, they don’t quite succeed this year, America will still be saddled with upwards of 74 million voters whose desires will be difficult if not impossible to overcome. It’s going to be all hands on deck for the foreseeable future… unless they install the white Christian fascist government they seek, in which case our prospects will be even grimmer.
That they are incompetent was our last glimmer of wishful thinking. That they are very competent and effectively working their plan is much more disturbing. That there are 74 million Americans behind them raises the very real possibility that our society has gotten so poorly educated and polarized that we are no longer capable of self-governance.
Actually, that mix does cause a type of serotonin syndrome or effects. Which could explain the Magate crazed violence across the country. Add a Sackller Family narcotic and an antidepressant to the mix, and you've got an insurrection.
Anticipate those shallows -impeachments to cascade (successfully) of the Magots once the landslide of BLUE 11/24, it’s overdue ..clean up that ‘chaos’! Many will cry they were hostage , believe them not !
America’s response to Margarine Tater Greens: 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I just adore that because Hunter Biden got up and walked out when she started talking, all the cameras left the room. 🔥,Hunter,🔥!
Of all the lowest of low not in the House there not to produce clickbait? The queen of clickbait? What nerve. Reporting on the goings on in the House sounds like what goes on in a kindergarten playground. Those monkeys can get away with their childish nonsense because their constituents don't bother to know that their representatives are jokers who have no interest in their welfare.
I copied that sentence as I read the letter! You beat me to it! However, it got worse...
Watching tv last night , I just happened to see a snippets of Ron/Nikki throwing accusations on each other and Ron blurted out that the huge deficit was in part of trump's tax breaks to the rich! Really? Interesting how both of them tried so hard to sound "moderate"
And let's stop calling these idiots "firebrands". It has a slightly favorable connotation. I wish I had a nickel for each time the local CO press referred to Lauren Boebert a "firebrand". How about "doorstop" instead?
“I’m kind of sick of the chaos,” said Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a key extremist and firebrand who opposes the funding deal. “I came here to be serious about solving problems, not to produce clickbait.”
Wait, what???

Ooops! That quote should be attributed to Geraldo, not HCR!
Like I say about Trump, MTG, et al. They are a symptom of a deeper problem.
The problem is that her district is so heavily red that it's extremely difficult to vote her out.
She is not alone having (a severe) mental disorder in the house.
There are people with personality disorders running around all over the place. And sometimes they get elected. Nothing special.
Everyone's taste is different, I guess. If she were a decent human being I'd consider her an attractive woman. The attacks on her appearance just don't make sense to me. It would be different if she were using similar ad hominems against her opponents in stead of calling them Communists.
Actually, research into her head may be a waste of time. Check out her background, particularly close relatives.
She must be up for re-election...
I heard she’s considering running for the U.S. Senate in Ga. Now, that’s really scary!
OMG! That would be awful BUT then she would have to run to the entire state, not just constituents in a rural area!
Every two years, just like the rest of them.
Yes. I know.
Please do, Alexandra! I agree with you.
If anyone deserves ad hominems, it's MTG.
I do not hold with MTG's behavior, but I also have observed that her education is sorely inadequate.

Agree with you! Trump expects loyalty, but has none himself to anyone! The desire for power blinds those you mention!
She’s not smart enough to be a witch.
John, criticizing MTG's views or actions is perfectly appropriate. Using misogynistic tropes such as witch references and loud-mouthed hag, and calling her ugly, shouldn't be part of it. We shouldn't sound like *them*.
Perhaps you could criticize MTG without sexualizing her?
Quit the name-calling; you sound like an immature Republican, not a 67-year old adult.
It obscures whatever point you are making, and plays nicely into MTG's strategy of chaos.
She is trying to appear to be rational. And of course, saying what she did is “click bait.”
That's funny Lynn. MTG IS Clickbait!
While I certainly find much to criticize about MTG, I don't care for the misogynistic comments.

Dale, they are not the only ones "well armed" ;-)

In other news, Biden is facing both international condemnation and legal action for complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza:
https://theintercept.com/2024/01/10/biden-israel-genocide-lawsuit/
Please do not confuse Israel with the Netanyahu regime.
(Just as we would not equate Palestine with Hamas, or the USA with the Trump regime.)

Enough with the apologist to reflexive violence crap unless you own your own apologist role for faux diplomacy as a cover to genocide.

“Blinken is always doing sociopathic stuff like this. Late last month he tweeted, “This has been an extraordinarily dangerous year for press around the world.

p.s. There have survived, through the centuries, one ancient Hebrew royal demon and one ancient Hebrew temple demon. Their stories are here:
https://earthwarning.org/index.php/here-be-demons/
Two quotes:
"Ancient Demon was present at the crucifixion of Jesus, because there was no way for a demon who was charged with protection of the royal family to not be present...."
"Asmodiel decided to use its knowledge to start a new organization. This organization was the beginning of freemasonry in Italy. (This was about the 7th century A.D.)

I agree. However, it is difficult for me to focus on anything while the mass killings continue. Is Biden powerless?
No one official or official body, not even POTUS, and not even the UN, can stop in their tracks combatants bent on total destruction. Enough people have to agree that blood running through the streets is entirely wrong.
So our hearts are breaking while our taxes are paying for it.
Netanyahu deliberately built up an opponent (Hamas) bent on Israel’s total destruction so... so he could totally destroy them?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
I think you think that the USA has complete power over other sovereign states. It’s just not true.
Please help me understand this. Netanyahu and his administration and Hamas(probably Iran and Russia..and who knows who else) are responsible for the genocide as they have been for years. Having said that, Netanyahu does not reflect all of Israel or that of all semetic populations.
From what I have seen....Biden and Blinken and other negotiators have been pushing Israel to withdraw....to take a humanitarian approach that will not result in civilian and hostage death. Does everyone here think the US needs to invade Israel to stop what they are doing? To cut off decades of military support that occured decades before Biden and resulted in Palestinian oppression, death, and disappearances?
I think these accusations of Biden and his administration are what always happens. Decades of policy that lead up to this horrific outcome and the administration in charge is blamed for another country's actions.
To me....Hamas and Netanyahu are responsible for the genocide. They are responsible for exploiting innocent civilians who want nothing more than to live in peace. I think, expecting the US to turn policy on a dime and stop the Israeli invasion is Colonial thinking.
Please tell me what am I missing here?
The administration in charge is part of a continuing Establishment policy of turning a blind eye to lawless Israel’s continuing violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and its oppression of the inhabitants of the illegally occupied territories.
Biden is more "Establishment" than any previous president since George H.W. Bush.
Perhaps it is well to remember that Israeli settler extremists in the West Bank are terrorists, and therefore Israel, funding the settlers and giving them guns, is a state sponsor of terrorism.

She is supported for her comments, so she will continue to speak idiocies, until she’s voted out. Then she’ll get a position with far right media. 🖖
How about going after MTG and 'impeaching' her? What a foul mouthpiece for the GOP, what a completely useless, self-important brat! Why is she constantly in the limelight, like her idol 'tfg'? Is there absolutely no Representative that has no dirt on the shirt who is able and willing to have rational discussions and negotiations with the Dems to finally get something useful DONE?
We just must vote them out! I have friends that live in MTGs district and they are embarrassed.
I understand.I was born in Marietta, worked in Milledgeville where she was born.She is a disgrace. Hope Georgians can vote her out.
Being embarrassed is not enough. VOTE HER OUT.
GeorgiaGirl’s friends are outnumbered, 2 to 1, in Greene’s district by people who will continue to vote for Greene, or someone even worse. No attempt to vote her out can succeed.
They need to get behind her opponent. He may not be ruthless enough to counter her shenanigans. I drive through N GA. The yard signs are MTG at her worst.
I don’t think there are enough of them, sadly
As well they should be. She reflects on them.
As they should be!!
Marli, it must be evident by now that the Repubs WANT to get NOTHING done while Biden is president so they can point to the failure of his administration to accomplish its goals for the American people. It apparently doesn't occur to them that they display their own incompetence in governing in any rational kind of way.
They are not incompetent. They are willfully nefarious. They have a plan, are executing it effectively and with great enthusiasm, and are within a toss-up of succeeding. Even if, by some miracle, they don’t quite succeed this year, America will still be saddled with upwards of 74 million voters whose desires will be difficult if not impossible to overcome. It’s going to be all hands on deck for the foreseeable future… unless they install the white Christian fascist government they seek, in which case our prospects will be even grimmer.
That they are incompetent was our last glimmer of wishful thinking. That they are very competent and effectively working their plan is much more disturbing. That there are 74 million Americans behind them raises the very real possibility that our society has gotten so poorly educated and polarized that we are no longer capable of self-governance.
Yes.
When one mixes their coke and steroids with a cocktail chaser you get MTG.
Actually, that mix does cause a type of serotonin syndrome or effects. Which could explain the Magate crazed violence across the country. Add a Sackller Family narcotic and an antidepressant to the mix, and you've got an insurrection.
Quite a cocktail!
I was a drug and alcohol counselor for years. Her behavior matches her consumption of chemicals. She's textbook.
Anticipate those shallows -impeachments to cascade (successfully) of the Magots once the landslide of BLUE 11/24, it’s overdue ..clean up that ‘chaos’! Many will cry they were hostage , believe them not !
🙏💙💙VOTE ALL THE COMPLICIT OUT💙💙
Apparently not.
America’s response to Margarine Tater Greens: 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I just adore that because Hunter Biden got up and walked out when she started talking, all the cameras left the room. 🔥,Hunter,🔥!
Of all the lowest of low not in the House there not to produce clickbait? The queen of clickbait? What nerve. Reporting on the goings on in the House sounds like what goes on in a kindergarten playground. Those monkeys can get away with their childish nonsense because their constituents don't bother to know that their representatives are jokers who have no interest in their welfare.
Every accusation is a confession.
The fish is sick of the water?
remember that old saying about the pot and the kettle?
Stephen, right you are, here is an image of Greene's most common action in Congress.

With a white fox collar, no less.
Ugh.
"I'm kind of sick of chaos." Join the crowd MTG.
Said the woman who once again showed naked pictures of Hunter Biden as an "exhibit."
It was indeed an exhibition.
Kudos to Hunter & lawyer! Talk about an "in your face" move. High point of the day
Even the circus bear gets tired of performing for the audience.
She must be getting pressure from her daddy’s friends back home.
I copied that sentence as I read the letter! You beat me to it! However, it got worse...
Watching tv last night , I just happened to see a snippets of Ron/Nikki throwing accusations on each other and Ron blurted out that the huge deficit was in part of trump's tax breaks to the rich! Really? Interesting how both of them tried so hard to sound "moderate"
You (Republicans) know you’re in deep trouble when MTG starts to sound reasonable.
I was thinking the exact same thing… Like, WUT???
Her use of the word “clickbait “ was amusing
And let's stop calling these idiots "firebrands". It has a slightly favorable connotation. I wish I had a nickel for each time the local CO press referred to Lauren Boebert a "firebrand". How about "doorstop" instead?
