The issue would be insanely ridiculous, stupid and generally prone to ridicule if the judicial branch was not willing to engage this nonsense.
The far-left activists are attempting to use Lawfare tactics to block MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene from reelection using claims of “insurgency” as a justification to disqualify her from the ballot. As unbelievable as it sounds, Representative Greene was forced to testify today in court as the Lawfare idiots test out the approach they intend to deploy against Donald Trump if they succeed in Georgia.
Andrew Celli, lawyer for the challengers, attempted to frame Greene as a leading insurrectionist in the J6 events in Washington DC. To grasp how ridiculous this is, the lawyers even tried to use soundbites from a Hollywood movie, Independence Day, to give the impression of Greene trying to overthrow the government by saying, “We will not go quietly into that good night.” {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
Apparently, lawyer Celli, has never read the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night,” as written by Dylan Thomas [1914-1953]. That poem is the original iteration of the phrase that has been used many times by various speakers for emphasizing grit, courage and determination. Many public speakers have used various iterations of the sentiment in speeches and comments.
The Georgia case revolves around an archaic Civil War-era provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, which says any American official who takes an oath to uphold the Constitution is disqualified from holding any future office if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” However, how this would possibly apply today is a silly legal question, which takes the court down the rabbit hole of questioning free speech and political discourse.
…But that’s how desperate the Democrats are.
Of course, all of these silly theatrics ignore the extreme efforts of the leftists in the Democrat Party to overthrow Donald Trump when he was in office. You might remember the riots Democrats promoted on Inauguration Day 2017, and the tribes of Moonbat leftists who wore genitalia on their heads while threatening to bomb the White House.
The fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene even has to show up in a courtroom to defend herself only highlights the ridiculous efforts the Democrats will attempt in order to control political outcomes. The courts even hearing these cases, let alone granting them some bizarre legitimacy, is beyond ridiculous.
Unfortunately, that’s where we are in 2022.
What I also find interesting is the silence from Ronna McDaniel and the RNC on these issues. Where the heck is the Republican Party in ridiculing this stuff and pointing out how crazy the Democrat communists have become in their lust for power.
The silence from the RNC is only exceeded by the silence of the Republican politicians in leadership.
So, is stealing an election insurrection? Is spying on and framing a sitting president an insurrection? Two can play this game
Prosecution said mention of 1776 was ‘code’ for wrong-think.
Let that really sink in.
Who decides what ‘ Disinformation’ is ?
Makes you wonder what they think about the phrase “We the People”.
Another coded threat phrase?
” WE THE DEPLORABLES ……. ” 🙂
Oh that’s definitely a dog whistle.
“WTP” really stands for
White Theocratic Plantation-owners.
I’d show you the gang hand sign but you have to be a card carrying member.
Frankencommiestein has risen to slay the poor Doctor…
Who?
Those who control the language and it’s the Libtards who have succeeded in defining and redefining words for the past several decades.
Just ask the nearest “birthing person”.
Yes, so trying to prevent a stolen election would align with an oath to defend the Constitution.
Nice smile
The fact that she probably beams it as she cudgels liberals gives me a warm sensation inside
Exactly correct, if the judge just threw the case out there would be no precedent set. This way hearing this ridiculous case is going to be the tool we use in all future cases.
Sounds pretty good to me, but it is past time our side start some legal maneuvers of our own, how about a counter claim of harassment and malicious legal attacks on a citizen of this nation?
The flaw in this “insurrection” plan is that Democrats will have to prove the election wasn’t stolen.
More like a coup d’etat than an insurrection.
Amen!!!!
At least it’s the democrats in GA trying to take out MAGA candidates. In TN, the republicans are doing it.
I assure you Mrs Greene loves and honors the constitution more times in a week than the lawfare crew and Liz Cheney will in several lifetimes. This latest effort by the left and the uniparty to silence dissent has moved beyond annoying and is now vulgar and dangerous. You may now count me in Dark MAGA group.
I am liking that term, Dark MAGA.
Would be a good time to remove this guy from his leadership position.
If he had any self respect he would step down.
Roomies.
Worms
Right.
Grown men “roommates”. Wink. Wink.
I bet they wrestle
I think he’s drunk on self-respect… as an artifact of self-worship.
McCarthy has no decency. He’s an anti-mutualist. He believes in special rules for special people and he’s convinced he knows who the special people are.
This asshat is a shining immutable example of a craven and indecent man. So very Romneyesque. So very GOP.
Mr Trump, after speaking with McCarthy, refuses to call him out. I suspect Mr Trump “owns” him now.
The way a frog owns a scorpion. McCarthy will always sting. It is who he is and what he does.
McCarthy intentionally undermined the Hillary Benghazi hearing, the one best opportunity to nail down Hillary in public
Ahead of one of the sessions, in that echo-y grand hallway outside, he was asked by the traitor press “Aren’t these hearings just a vendetta tool to ‘get’ Hillary?” – words to that effect
He answered “Sure”
The other one was roosterhead Gowdy
He was doing the questioning, largely
A big story had broke the prior week, something like a squadron in Italy fueled and waiting for a “go” order
He didn’t bring it up once
I don’t have links for these, but I know what I saw (TV)
President Trump should read the poem more often.
Roommates, I mean landlord and Tenant. Mhmm. Scum Uniparty. FJB. FKM
Eddie Haskell and Lumpy
Bevis and Butthead more like it, McCarthy is a typical Repub. Arrogant, Smug and Snively ! He has the demeanor of a shifty Salesman who is well aware his product is crap but doesnt give a crap cause he is getting paid.. Man We Need New Blood in the party if we are to survive.
As if applying it in 2022 was not absurd enough already, consider that many former Confederates directly targeted by the 14th Amendment clause served as governors, House Representatives, and US Senators after the Civil War. Most of these men were not private soldiers or low ranking officials. Most had been officers, including several Major Generals, or officials who held high office in the Confederate government.
Following the war Alexander Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confederacy, won election to the Senate but was not allowed to take his seat. Later, he won election to the House of Representatives and served there for nine years. He left the House to become a governor.
Alexander Stephens represented the State of Georgia.
They took the oath. Groveled. I have a great-great-great uncle who never took their oath. Some have principles, some don’t. But the Confederates were denied being governed by their consent and were forcibly prevented from forming their own government, which was the very reason for the American Revolution. The Union violated the Founding Documents. The ‘union’ was never meant to be ‘individible’ or we’d still belong to the UK.
Regardless of one’s views on seccession and the Oath of Loyalty, Democrats in 2022 are attempting to hold Republicans to a higher standard than Republicans held Democrats to a century and a half ago.
Nobody holds Democrats to any standards. They run rampant over laws and governing documents because they have positioned corrupt legal people in key positions throughout the country.
If not for double standards, Congress would have no standards at all.
The democrats have been calling January 6, 2020 an “insurrection” from day one. It is my contention that this was planned. Pelosi, the democrats, Capitol Police, FBI and antifa conspired to hijack the January 6 peaceful rally and march, incite the crowd, actually attack the crowd with flash bangs, and lead the break in into the capitol. They then opened doors and led people in, all in an effort to stage a break in. Why? To change the narrative from a peaceful protest over election fraud to an “insurrection” to again frame President Trump to assure he doesn’t run again. Clever. It is the democrats, Pelosi, the FBI and Capitol Police who should be on the stand being questioned.
THAT was merely an ancillary benefit…Its MAIN focus was to quiet earnest debate on the integrity of the just held 2020 election the Uniparty/DS had JUST stolen from the American public
AOC claims it was a trial run. We will attempt to do it again. They are gonna SCREAM voter fraud ,wait and see.The Democrats will get away with it and cause all sorts of problems. Watch and see.
I think the American public at this point hears the word, “insurrection” and mentally says, “yeah, whatever.”
“Insurrection”?
No
It was a Federally planned, owned, and operated entrapment operation to snare and imprison and denigrate conservatives and Trump supporters and to incriminate PresTrump as well
Watched some of this farce trial. MTG owned the lawfare idiot. This thing was a total scam.
She was *excellent* in the bits I saw.
i hoped to hear that.
Yeah. And I’m not normally a huge fan of hers. She seems a bit over the top at times.
But the way she handled herself today was Really. Good. Perfect responses to the situation, IMO.
So why doesn’t the judge toss out the case?
The R’s want it to work also, as a means of stopping MAGA and Pres Trump (or insert any non club member attempting to run for high office. It’s so obvious to us but not to others I guess.
THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
McCarthy would love to see MTG gone from his caucus. Unfortunately for him the reptilian Cheney clan destroyed his career. Dark MAGA baby!
Now can we talk about a THIRD Party ?
No. A 3rd party just splits the conservative vote and the Democrats win. It would be better to take over the Republican party and kick out the RINOs.
It’s going to take a long time for that, but I pray it’s doable!
The scheme is to exploit J6 against MTG and more importantly against DJT.
J6 Cmtte seeding numerous IEDs.
There should be laws for Shysters that when they do not win they be immediately disbarred and thrown in prison for mandatory 10yrs.
MTG’s good-natured composure while answering these ridiculous questions really served her well, IMO.
I do not use Twat and I am not good at embedding videos but I really hope this goes through…the idiot attorney tried to “trap” MTG into explaining WHY she used the phrase “1776” because he is convinced that it’s some kind of code for an insurrection. She calmly points out the Georgia State Seal hanging directly above the Judge, which, of course, contains the phrase “1776”! Even the Judge looks embarrassed for the attorney…what a maroon! (As Bugs Bunny used to say)
so again I ask
what is the difference between a RINO and a Republican??????????
asking for a friend…
What’s the difference between them and a Democrat?
Not much.
One buys you dinner first, the other just screws you.
Is the judge the same Nina sister who said it could proceed?
NPR’s Nina Totenbag.
Sorry, I see now this judge is a guy….er, well from this he looks like a guy, but I’m not a biologist so I don’t know.
The republican party is not worth urinating on, let alone worth any effort to save it. It is useless as an opposition party. The only thing it opposes are honest hard working common sense Americans. It should have been destroyed the day FJB was sworn in as the illegitimate POTUS. We missed our chance and are no closer to having an honest election today or having the support of the Republicans in DC than we were on Jan. 22, 2020.
Oh, we are much closer. We do need to get the voting machines out pronto, but so many people are awake and concerned about election integrity that even the Jena-Griswold-for-queen-of-Colorado power grab bill is being defended as about “election integrity.”
They are using our own language now, talking about human rights, election integrity and democracy. Yes it’s inconvenient having to explain to average people that when the other side uses those words they mean the opposite, but it means our words, our ideas, are what average people are reaching for.
> The silence from the RNC is only exceeded by the silence of the republican politicians in leadership.
On this and so many other issues, this is the problem. They don’t fight. They don’t make a difference.
What’s the point of the Republican Party? Seriously. What is their purpose?
To enrich themselves and continue their careers as politicians. We need to abolish the very idea of career politicians.
We are all starting to realize they are a BIG NOTHING!!
To give the illusion of choice.
Lincoln declared the Southern states were under rebellion for attempting to secede from the union of states as SOVEREIGN entities…..he said under the US Constitution they no longer had that right (I disagree) and yet STRIPPED them of their constitutionally allocated powers as states OUTSIDE the constitution
as a part of the reacquisition of their CONSTITUTIONAL powers, they were then required under Johnson to ratify the 13th-15th Amendments (Extortion)….the clause in the 14th Amendment prevented sitting congressional representatives during succession from being eligible to serve after its ratification….this was quietly abandoned less than 10 years later in the interest of reconciliation
All of this said, there has been NO one charged with either “insurrection” or sedition, only some spurious and slanderous accusations tossed about in public trying to win political ground….her lawyers SHOULD argue as there has been NO legally accepted insurrection MTG could NOT have participated in one and the charges under an outdated clause hold absolutely ZERO credence
As a professional historian, I spent decades detailing for students exactly why Lincoln was a monster who destroyed the Republic’s constitutional framework, as well as detailing how the first generation of Republican congressmen insured that the Union would remain forever divided against itself through Reconstruction. Lincoln offers one of history’s best examples of the truism that the winners get to write the history books. But anyone who thinks that the war between the states is over should take a look at the legal framework within which, to this day, the Confederate states map out their congressional districts.
I pooh pooh when someone claims Ol’ Abe as one of America’s greatest…..one of the bigger violators of the US Constitution until Ozero
“engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
After all the Democrats have done to keep them off ballots, it would be sweet revenge if Libertarian and Green Party were to use this to try and remove from the ballot any Democrat that supported BLM and Antifa – whose stated goal is the overthrow of USA and capitalism. They have plenty of video evidence.
He said “1776”.
That is a dog whistle for something. Not sure what. Only the communist can hear it somehow.
I just pictured someone whispering out of the window of their house late at night “1776” and a bunch of commies suddenly flooding down the road, eyes wide, mouths open and drooling, looking everywhere for who called them. I giggled a bit.
Green handled herself well. She didn’t allow the over the top absurdity get under her skin. The majority of Republicans in office appear to be walking off the cliff while the country suffers from their crimes against the citizens. Now’s the time for Republicans in the house to replace McCarthy and do something about our country’s demise.
4+ year coup against Candidate and President Trump but absolutely nothing to see. Sedition for thee but not for D’s.
Except . . . Durham appears to be on a grinding slow walk to prove that Clinton, Sullivan, Podesta, and others did commit sedition/treason by using the powers of government (DARPA among others) to prevent a free and fair election towards an outcome the DS desired to prevent. Bring in Steele and MI6 and you get aid and comfort in overthrowing the legitimate election processes of the US. Legally, you can commit conspiracy to overthrow a government even without the use of direct violence, right?
What is good for the goose . . .
Is Mr. Celli just working extremely hard on constructing Haman’s impalement spike?
Too late. They will all be dead if/when any charges are brought. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Goes to show how modern culture in film, is lost in its own importance and many people foolishly believe what they see in movies.
All, Greene has to do is show the garbage coming out of the mouths of DemonRats for the last 15 years, for a defence. How about the last week, You are all going to starve because of food shortages, if that is not insighting violence, I do not know what is.
Keep tell people the are going to go hungry and see what happens, it is already increasing the violence.
If you have read — ” Gulag Archipelago ” , about soviet denouncements / show trial then prison camps for those who were deemed guilty of the crime of ‘ wrecking ‘ the socialist utopia dream ….. this show trial will seem ” Familiar ” in it’s construct.
MTG is a hero.
She is one of the handful that we can count who is on our side.
MTG is pretty much the most righteous woman in American politics.
I wish she was my representative. She is the only one who filed articles of impeachment against usurper Biden on his first day in the White House.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/21/marjorie-taylor-greene-files-articles-impeachment-/
Here’s how Joe was greeted today at a College outside of Seattle. (Green River College, Auburn)
I was there. Prior to the motorcade one of his security detail informed us that we could say whatever we wanted, just don’t step onto the road. Challenge accepted…… 🤷♀️
How is the INVASION at the Southern Border not an insurrection , aided and abetted by the Biden Administration , Democrats and RINO- Republicans ( some ) ??
If citizens invited into the Capitol , for the most part , qualify , why not FORIGNERS overrunning the borders ?
Invasion for sure! Yes, this is a war against the American people!
Joe Burden said today that 7 or 8 Republicans would be voting for his agendas but they are too afraid of the MAGA people.LOL I guess that’s a good thing the Government afraid of the people, Yes?
Way good.
Did impressive Rep. Greene have a lawyer beside her while she was being cross-examined by a politically tainted Dem lawyer in this political show trial? If so, he/she should have interjected and quoted the Dylan Thomas poem highlighted by sundance.
Marjorie retweeted a McCarthy tweet yesterday that supported her fight to run again but I suppose it was before the hit job against McCarthy was released by Cheney. I agree with the article that few if any Conservatives are surprised that McCarthy was cozying up to duplicitous Liz.
McCarthy was playing both sides and now he’s squirming and wondering what other recorded tapes will be released by these evil Dems that will further expose his duplicity. Any politician that is honest and sincere would never cozy up to Liz Cheney but an overconfident fool or sap would. The GOP is always on defense and if a people’s Rep like Marjorie goes on offense, her own party turn on her.
Marc “Pudge” Elias still running schemes years after Perkins Coie was running the original Clinton inspired Russia, Russia that Durham is describing in his court filings. Super cold liquid nitrogen anger.
A serious question. Why are All Democrat women so but ugly? Asking for a friend!
“When people say to me, as they very naturally will and do and probably should, “Why is this important for us to know [today]?”, that isn’t the way I look at it. I think it’s important to know for itself. Not because it’s going to help us better understand [the events of today], or have a greater equilibrium in a time of trouble. It will do that, absolutely it does that. But it’s the same as justifying why should I read Moby Dick or The Great Gatsby [today]. It’s the same reason you should have read it in 1989. It is of value, it is of interest unto itself. It’s an extension, an enlargement of the experience of being alive. That’s what history is. And I don’t think anyone ought to be, or really wants to be, provincial in time, any more than one would want to stay locked in the same place in the map all one’s life. I have to say too if the Revolutionary War had been covered — 1776 is the most important year in the most important conflict in our history — if it had been covered by the media, and the country had seen now horrible the conditions were, how badly things were being run by the officers, and what a very serious soup we were in, I think that would have been it, too.”–Historian–and Democrat– David McCollough
These creeps smear the dead to smear the living.
They prefer 1789 France, 1917 Russia, 1933 Germany and 1949 China to 1776 America.
Is this book a worthy read?
Yes.
Just don’t tell me how it ends.
The issue would be insanely ridiculous, stupid and generally prone to ridicule if the judicial branch was not willing to engage this nonsense.
Sundance’s opening sentence reminded me of something…..
“Those who can be made to believe absurdities, can be made to commit atrocities.” ~ Voltaire
I would caution one and all that the Left is increasingly using the language–not to mention the tactics–of genocide.
South Africa is calling……
Spot on.
Down to basics and personable to every American citizen. MTG for Speaker of the House in 2023?
These baseless charges have been tossed out in other courts, it’s time to pull out the .50 cal..
In junior high school, we were REQUIRED to view the movie “1776” in one of the city theaters in 1973. Yes, here we are in 2022.
The rino leadership is no where to be found, because it both fears and dislikes MAGA politicians. The real President Trump, has very efficiently exposed all the corrupt rinos, who are only loyal to lobbyist’s money and themselves. Lacking honor and integrity, MAGA will always be foreign to them.
None of us have anything to defend. We all know who the true insurrectionists are. And we all know that it is normal to be upset that the deep state would overthrow our government and install a communist puppet regime. They even needed to stage an insurrection to try to make it look as if we are insurrectionists. Only God can straighten such a crooked Road!
“The silence from the RNC is only exceeded by the silence of the Republican politicians in leadership.”
Leadership wants MTG gone; she is too effective. It’s true her trial is a trial-run and if they are successful they will use the same tactic to prevent Trump from running.
She must win at trial. The nation needs this extraordinary women in Congress and in a leadership role.
She should have asked him whether he believes our founding was in 1776 or 1619. Of course he would not answer because he is not an historian.
God Bless Marjorie Taylor Greene.
(I got so furious listening to that hearing, had to turn it off; just the fact this trial is even happening and that no judge has thrown this out before it got this far shows how far our Republic has fallen.)
MTG campaign slogan for 2022 should be…
“1776–Don’t go quietly into this good night”
😁
The plaintiffs attorney’s final closing statement really was about three things (I kid you not):
1). 1776
2). Don’t go gently into this good night
3). No peaceful transfer just because Biden said so (making the congressional objection against electors due to fraud).
We need to end the two party system. Lets all face it, there has not been such a thing in a good long time. Political affiliations ought not be a business or private enterprise. I say we start that over with a new system.
ThatCreep, Frank Luntz’s roommate, McCarthy hasn’t been too silent….
A good read…
Commentary: Efforts to bar members of Congress from running for reelection because of Jan. 6 are unconstitutional
https://www.kenoshanews.com/news/opinion/commentary-efforts-to-bar-members-of-congress-from-running-for-reelection-because-of-jan-6/article_88998f6e-dbf8-5282-8aec-fcc9d6644825.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share
The republican wing of the uni-party is far more dangerous than the fools on the democratic side.
The Democrats will sell their mothers out for the short end money ,shamelessly and full of glee . This is due to their lack of any record of accomplishment. Prime example being let’s go Brandon .
The republicans come with record of accomplished example like Tumey from P.A. And Romney from Utah. They play the game saying one thing in public and another in private. Macarthy as our latest example.
Hiding in the shadows giving the appearance of being an ally is their Motive of operation. Then when I the time comes to deliver they are silent. In coordination with the color revolution.
They are in place at all key positions in mass . The sheer volume of those traitors enable them to exist under most peoples radar.
Did anyone see how lowbrow Mike pence was until his dirty deeds were done.
His payment for service rendered will be the facade of a run for president ,funded by his masters ,giving him the ability to bank most of the campaign funds so he and his family can live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Other than seal the deal of the color revolution at midnight on Jan. 6 what has he ever done other than pander to religious conservatives?
The Republican Party can go to hell. They will never see another dime from me, and many others. The entrenched, paid for, RINO bastards are duplicitous sellouts. I greatly admire those brave souls like MTG. Individually, she and those like her, get my support.
MTG and a few other of her cohorts are the Republicans the American Republicans want their representative Republicans to be. Rinos are every bit a turnoff as any Democrat. The more I learn and understand the more I detest Rinos….and I certainly don’t think I am alone.
This is so true: where is thy RNC? They can’t help but fill up my mailbox with their tin cup (begging for donations), but are silent on important issues aka elections, Marjorie Green, etc.
I watched her entire testimony today and let me tell you she was awesome. MTG is my representative and I love her.
These idiots on the Left are pure psychos!! They know they can’t beat her so they have to try this!!
The Uniparty is ALIVE AND WELL in Georgia..because there are many establishment country club types in my district 14 (Rome) who are doing everything they can to stop her. Pearl clutching Old money types…you know the kind.
She smoked em all today while taking shots at the FBI, DOJ, Antifa and BLM!!! It was a sight to behold!!!
Best part was it pissed me off so bad I donated a 100.00 to her during the a 15 minute court break. Bet the Uniparty never counted on that kind of effect in pulling this stunt!!!
Great review. Thanks, Blind.
Sounds like I may have to watch the whole thing!
I loved what little I *did* see.
She made that commie lawyer look like a fool. And she was excellent at pointing out that they all heard the gunshots that killed Ashley Babbitt. She also took a shot at Chris Wray about the Whitmer case and how there needed to be further investigations about the FBI’s possible involvement in Jan 6.
It was very strategic…LMAO
I did the same. Went right to her website and made a nice donation! The Uniparty surely didn’t count on that effect, did they? 😁
