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.
Dysfunctioncrats!
” 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,”
Ok so I am showing Georiga has two democrat senators. Both of whom violated their oath to uphold the constitution by participating in an unconstitutional trial known as the second impeachment trial.
Do they get a pass?
The “Reverend” Raphael Warlock and Jon Assoff were elected in a special election, after our beloved Governor Kemp allowed many precincts – including Atlanta – to have the Dominion machines “reprogrammed” after the stolen general election. I recall that orders had been given to hold the machines securely until they had been examined after the general. This was not done. I’ll bet a Benjamin (borrowed from Omar) that the same “programming” that allowed 2AM vote flipping from Trump to Biden ALSO created the wins for Warlock and Assoff.
.
Be aware also, good people, that the two Democrats in the entire nation with the largest campaign funding reserves as of this moment. are Warlock and the ever-charming Stacey Abrams.
“Demoncrats”
Far and away the best reading of Dylan Thomas’ poem came from Rodney Dangerfield, in the movie Back to School. Rodney’s response when his professor asked him what the poem meant to him personally is one that every MAGA candidate should memorize and repeat ad nauseam.
Haha! Great film—a populist film, I would say now.
In many ways, Donald Trump was the Rodney Dangerfield of politics.
Yeah, they were( are ) both good.. great.
And neither gets ( got ) respect. ;-D
We saw Rodney at Caesar’s Palace in ’85… we were sitting about 16 feet from the man on stage. I couldn’t breath. In person he had an energy that owned the room. Awesome.
I’ll tell ya, I don’t get no respect… The other day, I got back from a business trip. I got in a cab and said to the driver, “Hey! Take me to where the action is!” So ya know where he took me? He took me to my house!
I gotta tell you the high school I went to was so tough that after the football team sacked the quarterback they went after his family!
Call me when you got no class. Best movie line ever.
Phillip, relax. It’s my turn.
Rodney’s Johnny Carson appearances would bring down the house. The man was amazing.
And now you know why we Gen Xers love both of them.
Awesome… thanks. 😉 Loved that movie, that guy…
I watched that VHS back to back in the 80s and consider it one of the best comedies of all time. Sam K with his classic “SAAAY IIIIT!!” is unforgettable.
saw Rodney doing standup in Manhattan in the ’70’s. Drunks would try to heckle him and would IMMEDIATELY regret it.
I saw him at his club in NYC and he was awesome. I felt sorry for the people who sat up front by the stage.
Funny that the Democrats are trying to use a law that was written to punish Democrats after the Democrats Civil War to Protect (Democrats) Slavery of Africans.
Maybe I can over and we can study my Longfellow
The conveniently leaked recording of McCarthy is all the proof needed to answer the question about “where are the Republican leaders” and which side they’re really on.
Yhe proof has been right in front of us, all along.
The proof was in the Goudy hearings, on Fast/Furious, Tea party/IRS, and Benghazi; the Republicans cleaning up Obama admin SCANDALS, and concealing THEIR OWN equal involvement, in the process.
Passing Obummercare R&R, FIFTY TIMES (methinks thou protesteth TOO much) when they KNEW it was a meaningless vote, and then failing to pass it, when they knew they had a POTUS that would sign it.
And don’t blame it on McStain; McConnell had Flake warming up in the bullpen, ready to throw the thumbs down, if McStain had been too ill.
Heck, the evidence has been right there, since 1964; we have, like an abused spouse, just been in denial.
Annnnnd, all of the congress-critters’ cover-up of the $17 MILLION DOLLAR slush-fund they set up with US TAXPAYER $’s to pay-off / silence those that they subjected to some sort of sexual abuse and chicanery.
DAMN…McCarthy & Mickey McD aren’t doing to good right now…they have had their whole agenda upended in short order…Being silent is the same as NOT SHOWING SUPPORT FOR OTHER REPUBLICANS!!!!!
The fact that he would even give Liz Cheney the time of day, tells me all I need to know about him …
I hang up the phone every time the party calls me for $$. Same with their phony “surveys”. Stupid questions like: “Do you approve of Biden’s job?” If not, send us $50, $100 +
I got a call from them wanting money.
I responded with “when the Republican Party grows a SPINE and starts supporting Trump” and the line went dead.
I think they had already heard things to that effect….
There are more of their “money mailings” in my file 13 then I care to count.
I always take the call and proceed to spend as long as I can debating them.
I think lots of Republican have stop giving because the see how their funds have been used.
They don’t even bother with me.
I replied to one of the DNC errr RNC’s request for money email blast with nope, and signed my name Ugetnotonemoredimefromme (First Name)
BackstabbingPOS (Last Name)
Now I get email addressed to: Dear Ugetnotonemoredimefromme,
Then within the body of the email it says: Mr. BackstabbingPOS (all formal like) please dont miss out on this opportunity to help propel the Republicans to victory in yada yada yada, It really is quite comical.
I truly do admire Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is fierce and won’t take the rubbish the Dems dish out, but has a very positive look forward. She once said that every time the left attacks her, she gets tons of donations. I think that she has a very substantial election war chest.
I hope that someday, she will be House Speaker, but right now, she just doesn’t have enough seniority or allies in Congress. I think that if we can turn the Republican Party into a Maga party this November, there will be significant change. But we MUST get the RINOs out of the local Republican clubs as in Tennessee. I hope that some of those candidates that they threw out will sue the party.
True Dat. I also appreciate the support Matt Gaetz gives her.
In the House, we DO have a small MAGA “rump” party, as it has traditionally been called.
But, in the more powerful Senate, not ONE MAGA Senator.
And of coarse, NONE in LEADERSHIP, and the leaders have a LOT of POWER.
THEY decide whether an ethics investigation is opened, and how it is resolved.
THEY assign committee assignments and Chairs.
They can ELEVATE a member, or bury them in obscurity.
Getting members to vote against McCarthy or McConnell, will require MONUMENTAL public pressure, without any media (MSM) to ramp it up.
Perhaps the rebel alliance of alt right media, WILL be able to git her done?
I still find it difficult to believe the NO Republican Senator spoke up to cocaine Mitch, so that Trump could make appointments, and Mitch kept the Senate in-session, unadjourned for 4 years, so the Trump could NOT make interim appointments. That’s the Club.
I think she should give up on her bid to be reelected…One congress critter is of little impact. She shoud run for Governor of Georgia, kick Kemp in the sack and follow the lead of DeSantis!
This is an interesting idea…
The Democrats are not going to give up power even if it means fighting until the bloody end. None of this is surprising…..
We need to be willing to accommodate them to “the bloody end”. And when it’s theirs, we’ll see just how resilient they are.
Yep, that’s the only way, sadly.
Saul Alinsky is alive and well. Accuse your opponents of what you in fact are doing.
Frogs slowly boiling. Something big is going to happen, and where will all the fingers be pointing…?
General Joseph Wheeler led Confederate Cavalry during the Civil War and went on the be elected to the House of Representatives in Alabama multiple times. Furthermore, although 66 years old Wheeler was reinstated in the United States Army and led a cavalry brigade in the Spanish-American War where he was 2nd in command during the charge up San Juan Hill!
As I pointed out up thread, the former Vice-President of the Confederacy represented Georgia in the House of Representatives for nine years. He resigned to serve as Georgia’s governor, an office vacated by the death of a former Confederate Major General.
Nineteenth Century Republicans were more lenient towards former enemy combatants than Twenty-First Century Democrats are to their political opposition.
Who do you think led the fight, to put up all those Confederate war memorial statues of Confederate Generals?
UNION soldiers, thats who.
Southerners were and are our brothers and sisters. The internationalists raping Western civilization to death for fun and profit are not.
Actually, most were funded here by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Are they Democrats, AG?
As Alligator Gar pointed out, most of the Confederate monuments and memorials were privately funded by the UDC. Most Federal monuments were funded by state and local entities as well as private organizations.
From what I’ve learned, Union veterans had mixed feelings about Confederate monuments, especially those on battlefields. The initial compromise worked out at sites such as Gettysburg was that Confederate monuments would mark positions of troops and battle lines, thus they were “historical markers” and not “memorials.”
The issue is quite complex and made more so because there were several eras of monument building across several generations, the last occurring after the Civil War had receded beyond living memory.
Sen. Byrd?? Also there is this..
The “Klanbake” 1924 Democratic Party National Convention
On a number of occasions he referred to the Spanish as Yankees in the excitement of combat.
“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.”
They are hoping for success…by the left, so they don’t have to put up with such people in the future.
Including President Trump.
The question I have is…how many others in congress are having their phone calls recorded and not knowing about it. This is a lot worse than getting caught saying something on a “hot mike.”
I’m wondering if it was NSA/ DS (who records all things) that gave it to the author of the book Maddow highlighted on her show.
I think this might be a warning to all swamp creatures.
Or else, Cheney did this as a power move that Trump has negated somewhat.
But no one seems to consider this secret recording to be an issue?
If Cheney does not ask for a DOJ investigation, she did it.
That was ludicrous. In a sane world, that attorney would be disbarred, sanctioned, and lose his law license.
The republican party is in on the “insurrection” scam. Silently cheering on and even aiding the demonrats.
It is actually the Dems, aiding their Uniparty brethren, ..in blocking MAGA candidates from campaingning on 2020 election as a steal.
If they can intimidate MAGA candidates into NOT campaigning on it, as an issue, then RINOS don’t need to give THEIR answer, which brands them as a RINO.
BOTH wings of the Uniparty protect each other.
We MUST expose the RINO wing, cause a one winged bird CAN NOT FLY.
Dont forget the corruptopublicans hate MTG for daring to attend and speak at AFP 3 theres no one hated more by repubs than Nick Fuentes and his America First…
$1000/ hr ambulance chasers are the root of the evil enveloping DC and the ferociously corrupt municipalities around this country.
Speak your watch your behind
That’s speak your mind watch your behind
That too
This has nothing to do with politics.
It is pure, unadulterated Socialist Nazi American Indoctrination, bull shit.
Stop the SNAZIS before they go one centimeter further!
A) I have been posting on this latest tactic, for awhile now.
7 in the House have been or are being targeted in this effort; MTG, Boerbert, Ghomert, Biggs, Gosar and Cawthorne.
Notice NONE are, in the Senate.
Where is the RNC in all this? Spearheading this effort to protect/defend Rinos, against MAGA primary challengers, THATS where.
Just as it was “Obummers IRS” that assailed the Tea Party, that was primarying prominent Rinos, while this Lawfare effort is being conducted by Dem operatives, it is being done to PROTECT the GOPe, from a MAGA insurgency.
ANY candidate that campaigns saying 2020 election was a steal, will be hit with this accusation, that they support insurrection.
Causing candidates to NOT bring it up as a campaign issue, for fear it will cost them votes.
This is an issue that if campaigned on clearly dilineates MAGA candidates, vs Rino candidates.
A Rino CAN NOT, WILL NOT say 2020 election was fraudulent. Since the MAGA candidate WILL, and that will make it clear to voters which is which, they are trying to intmidate MAGA candidates, to keep them from talking about 2020.
Makes it easier for Rinos to pose as MAGA, or so they think.
Thing is, there are simply too many issues, where Rinos can’t hide their Rinoness, any more.
Used to be, they COULD; “I’m for lower taxes, stronger military, blah blah,..I’m a “true Conservative” and that would get them the Republican vote.
Now, not so much;
“What is a Woman?”
“Do you believe the 2020 election was the most secure in history, and that we should just “move on”?
Do you support grooming children with preschool sex education?
Do you believe J6 was an “insurrection” and do you agree with Lindsey Graham that the prisoners should rot?
Will you support McConell and McCarthy, to continue in leadership?
So many questions, to expose the Rinos now.
And their toungues would cleve to the roof of their mouth, before they would give the MAGA answer.
They just CAN’T say it.
Therefore, they don’t want their MAGA primary opponent, to say it EITHER.
Hence, the Un-Select committee, which will release its “report” just before the midterms, and these Lawfare suits.
AND, the black flag operation, to set the whole narrative up.
Its ALL “of a piece” and all planned for this end.
The Republicants only want a wobbly, self-hating majority. They want to act like Biden’s foil but will only run defense. They’ll pass meaningless reforms to please us, knowing Joe will veto. Are they the best we can do?
EXCELLENT points Dutchman. I consider positions taken (or not) about the stolen election (coup) of 2020 to be THE determining factor. This applies to both media and candidates (hence, I no longer watch Fox or NewsMax — whereas One America News and Real America’s Voice pass the test).
As for candidates, most of the GOP has become (at a minimum) an accessory to the coup, by refusing to acknowledge it, nor undertaking steps to ensure future election integrity. (This signals that the election fraud infrastructure is used on behalf of the establishment of both parties, by whoever THEY report to.)
I live in Florida, and last May sent (by certified mail) a DVD of Mike Lindell’s “Absolute Proof” to Senators Scott, Rubio and my Congressman (Rutherford). In the accompanying letter I essentially said that I was doing this so that (if/when) the truth is revealed, they could not deny that they knew all along.
NOT ONE OF THEM SENT A RESPONSE; NOT EVEN ONE OF THOSE FORM LETTER RESPONSES.
In November 2022, and whenever they are on the ballot, I will write-in “NONE” as my vote in those races. Re-electing those who support the coup (and therefore future ones) is, arguably, also serving as an accessory to treason against our Constitutional Republic.
Oh, to have about 300 clones of MTG and/or Matt Gaetz!
As I’ve said for many months… when all is said and done concerning the 2020 election fraud and J6, the Republican Party will barely survive the revelations. They are the Sanhedrin, the Ds are the functionary Romans. The Romans would not have crucified Christ without Jewish help.
Trump’s election theft was only accomplished by R machinations. The R party is a shill, the party is the problem. They could easily defeat the Ds but are paid to look away, starting with Ronna. Screw them.
Agreed. I wish PDJT had started a third party. It would have transferred MUCH funding away from Republican Party.
i HATE it that I have to vote for persons identified as Republicans and I damn sure would never vote for a member of the modern Democrat party.
I love MTG.
“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?”
Both parties are a Uniparty in disguise. Interparty point-scoring is tightly choreographed, never drawing any real blood. Once the kabuki nature of ‘interparty’ (Uniparty) conflict is truly grasped, these sorts of questions reveal themselves as little more than rhetorical arrows launched from the observational layer of participative theater.
Think of the McCarthy-Cheney discussions as two actors standing in the wings talking about where they’ll have a drink after the show when they’re ‘out of costume’.
All lust for power converges in America’s own evolving version of the CCP. We are fast approaching the moment when the red/blue jerseys can be discarded altogether.
For the moment, the red/blue thing offers a indispensable wheelhouse of political commentary and issue-analyzing. Twice as many people can be hired to point-counterpoint one another ad nauseum. New shows sprout on brighteon like mushrooms. The Alt’s become a gig.
If you want to get a sense of how completely superseded our political card games have become, listen to atty Todd Callender describe the mRNA altered subgenus in our midst, Homo Borg Genesis and this new chattalized subspecies’ lack of legal recourse to human rights. Can a Pfizer chattel-borg (perhaps you, your spouse?) be murdered or perhaps the worst that can befall these entities is that they’re stolen or disabled without the consent of their rightful owner?
Oh for the good ole days of hidebound Rinos!
dox the dems attorneys. make them pay for their bullshit or they wont stop
This is how you tell if a newly elected politician is doing there job and deserves reelection.
Any of our patriots from gods country AKA Georgia. Re elect this woman and at least 20 more like her. This one is a keeper.
Who wants to get that close to that creepy one handed weirdo?
This is when you know the stupid communists are getting desperate.
A good way to fight back is to for everyone viewing this to send her a few bucks. I just sent her $100 for having to put up with this absolute embarrassment to our constitutional system.
I am ashamed watching it far more than I am ashamed that MTG is one of our Representatives whom I do not approve of.
I’d like the tapes of the RINO’s talking/plotting against her like McCarthy’s against President Trump. The Rat’s are plentiful in RINO-Land.
I have zero doubt these efforts are not those of the left alone……as alluded to at the end of the post, the RNC, Repub ‘leadership’, and never Trumpers alike are all-in.
The fight of a lifetime continues….
agree that this is a laughable charade but its not done out of desperation. The crazed lefties are well funded and thorough. They identify threats and attack regardless of validity, merit or even likelihood of success. Doesn’t matter to them if they’re laughed out of court. They dragged a conservative opponent into court, tried to cast her in a poor light… and that, for them, is a wild success.
Under the old rules / ways, your statement would be true.
Today, people are aware of what is happening and are not accepting the implications of their efforts. The lawyers look like highschoolers doing a drama skit.
These progressives regularly discredit themselves. The only ones who follow are dumbed down people.
But maybe that is who they are trying to impress?
The problem is that there are soooo many dumbed down people, people ignorant of what is really going on.
Using a photo of her laughing is an excellent choice.
If the entire exercise wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny.
Keep fighting against those socialism hates American,
100% stand with you Marjorie,
Last night, millions of post-wall cat mommies popped an extra antidepressant with their box wine dinner and cried themselves to sleep in their empty beds.
Glorious!
Keep strong MJG, watching this proceedings are disgusting! It disgusts me to see how they are trying to make you look stupid and incompetent! You are wonderful MTG, your good people representing your people and God is watching, he will see you through this. Stay faithful and strong. You are a fighter and that’s why you were elected. We the people have faith in you and see your goodness. Keep America Strong, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️👍🇺🇲
the uniparty exists through fraud and they have an endless flow of money to burn protecting their fiefdoms this is just the latest example.
Wow!
MTG does not represent the swamp or Rino party and thus is not afforded protection by them. On the contrary, to quote Cocaine Mitch, “Take care of the S.O.B. for us” is the upheld view in the D.C. swamp towrds anything MAGA or DJT, the 45th President of these United States and truly the greatest President of our time and I’m in my mid-sixties.
Smell the fear of the swamp.
Greene, go get them….she has my vote!
The RNC should be pulled down right along with the RINOs they support (can you say Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, et. al.?). They call me and I tell them that I want nothing to do with any of them or anyone they support! The last time they called I asked the fellow where they were when we had donated money to them on behalf of Donald Trump, and when January 6 happened were were they? He was silent.
They do not support us. I only give to my candidate directly. I do not donate to any fund raising campaign; especially if the RNC has it’s fingers it in. It is as corrupt as the Democrats.
The fact that this even made it into a courtroom makes me think that impeaching judges needs to become a thing.
Who was it that said “first we kill all the lawyers?” Just sayin’
“They” want to have everyone of us in the hot seat explaining the nuances of every post from everywhere.
Mickey Mouse Court. Good golly!
Audio recording of Kevin McCarthy explains why Republican leadership is silent today as it was when Trump was in the White House.
Simply put Republican leadership is in bed with Democrat leadership to destroy MAGA.
“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.”
Just so. We must rid ourselves of McDaniel, McCarthy and McConnel.
MTG is not only a threat to Democrats, she’s a threat to the Republican leadership. She’s forcing them to grow a backbone and DO THEIR JOBS, something of which they’ve refused to do for far too long.
The RINOs led by The Turtle despise MTG and Boebert every bit as much as do the Dems. Never lose sight of that fact.
Their party is led by the biggest dementiacrat known to usurp the office.
Just donated to her re-election campaign. Go MTG !
If this provision were to be applied, no Democrat should be eligible to to run and the Democratic Party must be dissolved (in lye or sulfuric acid, if it was up to me).
The Democratic Party is the only American institution that ever launched armed insurrection against federal authority – in the 1860s and again in the 1950s – each time to deny African Americans basic civil rights.
This is an act of war, and should be treated as such.
The whole thing was embarrassing. The professor guy’s history lesson was right out of a reenactment tent at 3pm on a Saturday.
The lawyer lives in an unitelectual bubble. Obviously he doesn’t read. If showed the Degas Russian Dancers, now Ukrainian Dancers, I doubt he would know the artist or real name of the painting.
What a joke, unfortunately I sat through the whole thing. I am tired of uncultured nut jobs.
The [R]s who are silent conveniently out themselves for removal. If we can vote enough to overcome all of the “irregularities”
All it would take to shut them down, is for Republicans to return the favor, by taking Dems. to court for BLM and Antifa riots, as well as the border. These are true insurrectionist acts.
Just do this once and Dems. wil stop. Alas, Republicans are too dumb or too lazy.
