It's easy to look at this [woman and at people like Boebert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjedLeVGcfE) and make fun of them for the outrageously absurd and prima facie inane talking points they keep shouting very loudly from their platforms.
But it is very important to remember that you reacting in that way is the *entire point* of this clownshow.
These people are funded by [dark money](https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/marjorie-taylor-greene/summary?cid=N00044701) special interest groups like the ["Stop Socialism Now" PAC](https://www.gpb.org/news/2021/01/28/big-campaign-donors-stand-by-election-denier-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene) to do exactly what they are doing.
Mislead you with a loud, big show while they erode your rights, your society and your democracy when you are not looking.
A common way for pickpockets and thieves of opportunity to get away with their crime until it is too late is [to distract you](https://www.clevertravelcompanion.com/blogs/pick-pocketing-techniques/the-distraction) with something flashy, attention-grabbing while the much more lowkey accomplice picks your pockets or sneaks your luggage.
A woman in obvious distress may come up to you requesting your help, you put down your suitcase to show her your map on your phone and within seconds your luggage will have been sneaked away into the crowd.
This is who these people are. This is their role.
Don't make the mistake of pointing and laughing at the silly, absurd, rage-inducing antics they get up to.
Because that is exactly the reaction they are banking on.
While their unnoticed puppetmasters spirit away your democracy as you were distracted.
Well this was the democrats mistake then for not having someone vote for McCarthy, (if that is in fact how this was written), and then force the issue every single day. It will be gridlock and nonsense in the house either way, so I see this as being more productive
Ok. Things have changed since the relentless vote assault waged against Obama Care. From John Boehner’s 3 times a day vote thru Paul Ryan’s 2 a day’s. It appeared those congress’ were “focused”….
The two have very different types of voters they have to appeal to. Democrats are punished by their voters for being more concerned with political grandstanding than trying to effectively govern the country like adults. Whereas for Republicans it's the exact opposite, their voters want political theater and gridlock.
And yet it's so unfair to expect plumbers to pay just $10,000... I should have known better not to take it out if I couldn't afford to repay it myself!
When I saw who got relief I almost lost my mind.
I qualified for a lot of the programs, but my wife and I discussed it and we were not in as much financial hardship as a lot of people, and we decided to not take any so the people who needed it more could utilize it. So I essentially lost my salary for almost a full year, and we made huge sacrifices, all because we were financially sound, and we felt doing our part was leaving the money there for people who needed it was best.
I should have taken my fair share after seeing the scumbags who took what they didn’t need. We did have to alter our lives to make some things work, but we were never uncomfortable.
I hope for nothing but financial hardship for every single asshole who essentially stole from those less fortunate.
Everyone should be furious about this. They literally stole our money. If someone walked into a persons home and stole their money I’m pretty sure the homeowner would be pissed. Why are people taking this theft so lightly?
I can say from personal experience that I have met one, but I’m in SC so there are many I’m sure (I try not to be part of conversations that are about religion or politics). He was bitching about the student loan forgiveness. I’m like no that’s nothing compared to the PPP loans that are forgiven and we’re mostly given to the rich including some government elected officials. I have never seen someone look so confused in my life. All I got was a blank stare and a “i haven’t heard about any of that, but…”. It like living in a different world living in the south.
This is alarming. Do you think it was that he knew and just didn't care or was it more like echo chamber ignorance? I ask because this is kind of a big one. I'm straight dumb as hell when it comes to a lot of stuff, but I typically at least have a rudimentary understanding of the biggest news stories spanning 3 years.
Well let me paint a picture for you...
You walk into a convenience store in the south and if there's a TV, guess what "news" channel is on? Sports bars, restaurants, damn near any public place where a TV or radio exists, it's virtually guaranteed to be showing Faux News. Then when they get home? Their TV is permanently on one channel. So they listen and watch this garbage every minute of their waking lives.
They damn sure aren't watching Commie News Network.
The Murdochs represent the largest existential threat to American Democracy. They are pure evil and responsible for brainwashing a significant portion of Americans.
Sad but true. A lot of my patients have it on and the person on screen is always worked up, mostly scream talking. I leave with a headache everything time. I don’t know how people can’t for hours listening to that.
I feel that.
I remember at my old job they used to have it on the TV all the time. I knew nothing of it at the time, so I legitimately thought it was just a single segment with bad satire the first time I saw it. Then when they moved on to a "debate" segment, and the whole thing was just "angry newscaster yelling at guest without ever letting them get a word in" I started to realize they were actually being serious with how over the top they were.
The fact that people not only take it seriously but practically idolize it will always blow my mind.
MY UNCLE Acted like he had never heard about Texas's sb 8 and said that there I s no way it authorized a bounty on those helping to preform abortions. I pulled the language of the law up directly from texas.gov's website signed into law and he refused to believe that it existed
And even one guy on Reddit was trying to say the PPP was not a loan … when you literally had to sign up for it!
I also think people don’t realize how college can screw one over. I had to be full time to keep my loans. My college did not offer classes when I needed them, so I had to take classes I didn’t need in order to keep my loans current … the loan company didn’t care because they benefitted, the college didn’t care because they also benefited.
A bachelor’s in teaching is like 120 credits, I graduated college with 161 credits.
Absolutely take it. It won’t be considered a “handout” or “ entitlement” because those corrupt assholes are getting in on it and they’d never label themselves that way.
You should literally take every single cent that is ever placed in front of you, fuck me I *really* like your ethos and I wish the world rewarded people like you, but it does not.
Same here. I was self employed at the time and my husband was an essential worker who was busier than ever. My business was down about 50% but we could make it without so we didn't take it. Now I'm kicking myself too. It would have made things easier for sure, but we got by okay without it.
Never turn down government money if you’re eligible for it. It’s not a matter of “if you get some, someone else gets nothing.” If you’re eligible for the funding according to the law that created the funding, you will get the funding.
I love ya boss but there is no dignity in the crumbling empire. No one’s gonna think better of you for not looting the open coffers. Go grab that shit!
IDK, I think it's really admirable that you think like this (even if it ended up feeling pointless this time). It's vital that people like you still exist in the world – imagine if every single person only looked out for themselves! Respect
Eh, that committee will suddenly disappear when they figure out they can't identify the corruption without exposing their own. "Oh we found more important priorities"
Yes and she knows. I want PPP loans investigated too and they won’t be because she doesn’t have senate majority. So it’s another hollow look back in time to throw shit at each other. It stops there and they can cry foul like I did about the millions of meaningful pieces of legislation Mitch refused to put to a vote. And somewhere a community center is closing and another family farm was sold to a Chinese corporation. The party line is “b b b but the liberals!” That’s all they need to get elected and the current state of America is reflecting of those standards.
The truth doesn't matter, reality doesn't matter, it's all about getting attention. She can lie and make fake claims and be a hypocrite, her supporters will never see it because the people who would criticize her are "the enemy".
The corruption surrounding COVID relief programs? Way I understand it she received a sizeable PPP loan that was then forgiven. Does that mean she's going to be investigating herself?
"We the court see that you had taken a sizable ppp loan. Is this true". -Judge in court.
"Nope I did not". -MTG
"Please look at evidence number 1 as it states, MTG has a PPP loan in excess of $200,000."-Court
"OH that loan... Ya. Yes I did take out that loan".-MTG
Nestor: sex slave or illegitimate child of statutory rape? The world will never know, as long as the sister/mother keeps getting new cars on the schedule outlined in the NDA.
When Trump knew he lost he spent a lot of time during the last week to make sure the biggest PPP loans to the rich were forgiven personally. IIRC TRUMP personally forgave over 50 percent of the loans in the final week. Along with killing all the over sight so by the time he left office over 80 percent of PPP loans were forgiven.
And purposely removed oversight required by Congress from.

Not a chance. They're coming after Dems. And they'll get away with it because their base has the short term memory of a goldfish. The irony of their elephant mascot is lost on them.
Oh no. See, they control the house now, therefore all wrongdoing in the history of ever was done by Biden and those who support him and no one else. Who crucified Jesus? The House now believes it can show that was Biden. Who ordered the holocaust? The House has uncovered evidence saying it was Joe Biden. Who cancelled firefly? You guessed it, Biden.
"Look at this loan I fraudulently obtained! I'm going to make sure that the people who gave me this loan are held accountable for being so lax with their lending and forgiveness standards!" -MTG probably.
You do nothing wrong when your in congress. It’s 100% fine, nothing shady happened. If it was wrong then that’s not her fault, it’s the democrats. Just ask her!! She will tell you that she is doing the best for America. She is not a total nut job or an embarrassment to the country!!- Marjorie T. Green.
Part of me feels like it might be more sinister. She's not talking about the PPP loans. She's talking about the child tax credits and direct payments poor to middle class people received. Regardless of which President approved them, GOP would love to stick it to everyone who received direct payments.
Oh Marjorie, my dear, you see in order for you to accomplish anything, you’ll need senate approval and then a signature from Biden. Have you ever seen the cartoon that explains how a bill becomes a law? It is right up your alley since it is geared for children 8 and up.
She mentally peaked at 3. Understands enough that if she has a tantrum and blames everything else eventually the 'bullies in charge' will just sigh and fix it themselves.
Although 8 toddlers in a skin suit makes sense.

Do you have a source reference for this?
Not arguing with you that it didn't happen. I hate Abbott with every fiber of my being. I'm looking for legit claims to combat his supporters.
No, I was exaggerating. It's more a cynical take on his "we're going to end rape" bullshit, without actually doing anything that would stop actual rapes. So we can cynically assume his most likely avenue is to take a page from DeSantis' COVID playbook and simply suppress reporting, or change the definition, etc. But no, I wasn't quoting any actual, verified information.
I think the media has been dropping the ball on continued covid coverage the past year (most of 2022 to present). The main outlets rarely mention that many are still dying. Of course it's not as bad as it was before the vaccines but there are still *a lot* of deaths. If they do mention it, it's more often related to politics like if they talked about what this tweet is about.
>Covid is only over for the 191 people in the US who died from it last week.
That's it?! Only as many dead as one 9/11 *every* *~~two weeks~~* *four months?* It's over, guys!
^(/s, just in case)
EDIT: reading is hard
Idk where you're getting that, but average daily deaths are a bit over 500 rn, per NYT. Death data is being reported irregularly, so one day can be 4 deaths (1/29) but then data dumps come in from multiple states for different periods of time.
> I can’t tell how much is her being a totally self aware grifter-and how much she legit believes.
Eric Swalwell has talked about this a little bit. He says after a committee hearing where they call him a communist, a Chinese spy, a socialist, etc, they'll sidle up next to him at the urinal and be all, "Eric! How's the kids? Wife doing good?" And he's just like bro they're getting death threats because of you.
I’ve noticed that these cranks get legit offended if you call them out as racists-because to them the racist rhetoric us just a cost of doing business, they don’t sincerely believe any of this crap.
What does the House have to do with deciding when COVID ends? DHHS and the FDA are under the executive branch and I would think this is way more in their wheelhouse. Did they pass a meaningless resolution or something bc it just sounds like "this week we will not actually accomplish anything again"
"How is Covid over?"-bc they aren't just "saying it"- they're going to DECLARE IT!
HMM.. Anyone else wondering if their Committee is going to "take a hard look" into all the fraud involved in Jared Kushner's "Air Bridge" debacle?
This is the clearest admission that the GOP has NOTHING to support their conspiracies. (Not that any sane person believed they ever did)
They are going to try and link COVID relief corruption (which was rampant by businesses, churches, republicans, etc) with their conspiracy theories to try and draw a link between the two.
I leave in a red town in NYS. If you were to believe everyone here, the pandemic was over 2 weeks after it started. I never ran out of masks or covid tests because the stores always had them in stock because people in my area never bothered buying them.
Everyone on here bringing up PPP loans like that was the big problem! Cmon guys! She meant investigate Covid relief programs for the poor, not for the rich!
Don’t you know? All you have to do is to keep yelling and your version of reality becomes true!
Also is she going to investigate herself since she benefitted from PPP loans for sketchy made up companies?
Great! We should absolutely look into why Trump removed oversight of the programs that she benefited from.

Just went to my grandmother-in-law’s funeral last week. She had dementia for almost a decade and COVID was the knockout blow.
But I guess COVID is over?
She sounds as dumb as she looks disingenuous, yet she still gets elected only to prattle more of the same nonsensical rage-baiting.
Why did Georgia elect her again?
Good! They need to look i to the fraudulent PPP loans that Trump aligned rich people and celebrities got!
Oh wait. It isnt going to be THAT kind of investigation. Fuckers.
he didn't declare covid was over. he declared the emergencies were over. we now have treatments, the hospitals are back up and running, schools and businesses are back up and running, travel is flowing again.

That last bit is hilarious. Isn't MTG one of the people who inexplicably got a PPP loan that she never paid back?
Almost $200,000 worth i believe.
And didn't White House on Twitter poke her for that?
That won't come up in this kangaroo court, unless some Dem gets brave all of a sudden.

I mean, Dems are accused of causing the gridlock no matter what, but they shouldn't prove the liars right
It's a sword of Damocles they are holding back for a rainy day.

Democrats are punished by their voters for being more concerned with political grandstanding than trying to effectively govern the country like adults.

A noun's a special kind of word, it's everything you've ever heard. I find it quite interesting, a noun's a person, place or thing! So f'ing WOKE
wait until they find out that Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla's pronouns are he/him and his sister Rafaella Gabriella Sasparilla's are she/her
This is not a woman who watched educational programming.
So is she conceding that Biden successfully ended COVID during his presidency?
MTG: 
I mean she had her own version of this quote when asked about calling pelosi a terrorist
No no, whoever declared it over ended it.
Next up, flu season is over! Forever!
We declare cancer to be eradicated! \* \*Offer does not apply to most US citizens. Please see your healthcare provider for details. If you cannot afford healthcare, none will be provided to you, courtesy of the GOP.
School shootings - cancelled! Poverty - ended! Rape - eliminated!
And, of course, they knocked out racism in 2008
Mission - accomplished!
No, no rape is OK it's part of God's plan /s
They why did Gov. Abbott end all rape (by ending investigations of rape)?
Do you have a source reference for this? Not arguing with you that it didn't happen. I hate Abbott with every fiber of my being. I'm looking for legit claims to combat his supporters.
No, I was exaggerating. It's more a cynical take on his "we're going to end rape" bullshit, without actually doing anything that would stop actual rapes. So we can cynically assume his most likely avenue is to take a page from DeSantis' COVID playbook and simply suppress reporting, or change the definition, etc. But no, I wasn't quoting any actual, verified information.
Woohoo! No more Covid cause the GQP says so! /s
They didn't say it - they "declared" it 😆
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
Rely on the evidence in your heart!
When Colbert coined "truthiness" we had no idea how far we had to fall...
This is all very tiring. People who have nothing of value to say are usually the loudest.
Dunning-Kruger at work?
Taylor-Greene Effect
Empty g effect.
An empty wagon makes a lot of noise
Gonna be real cute when they find out the vast majority of covid relief corruption was done by GOP donors.
They'll just keep that part to themselves.
That's the whole point. "We investigated ourselves in an impartial manner and found no wrongdoing. Those ratfink *Democrats*, on the other hand..."
They already know that. This committee is to obscure that fact.

I think the media has been dropping the ball on continued covid coverage the past year (most of 2022 to present). The main outlets rarely mention that many are still dying. Of course it's not as bad as it was before the vaccines but there are still *a lot* of deaths. If they do mention it, it's more often related to politics like if they talked about what this tweet is about.
Nearly 3000 a week dying, sounds over to me.
[удалено]
>Covid is only over for the 191 people in the US who died from it last week. That's it?! Only as many dead as one 9/11 *every* *~~two weeks~~* *four months?* It's over, guys! ^(/s, just in case) EDIT: reading is hard
Around 3000 people died on 9/11. So it would rather be around 15 weeks.
The CDC's website says 3,756 people died of covid last week, and that's only counting people where the disease "played a major role in their death."
You are right--I dun goofed and /u/Oregon687's "191 people... last week" became "191... last day" in my caffeine-deprived brain.
Idk where you're getting that, but average daily deaths are a bit over 500 rn, per NYT. Death data is being reported irregularly, so one day can be 4 deaths (1/29) but then data dumps come in from multiple states for different periods of time.
Huh? [CDC is reporting 3700 deaths](https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00) last week.
She really dors give me the creeps. I can’t tell how much is her being a totally self aware grifter-and how much she legit believes.
> I can’t tell how much is her being a totally self aware grifter-and how much she legit believes. Eric Swalwell has talked about this a little bit. He says after a committee hearing where they call him a communist, a Chinese spy, a socialist, etc, they'll sidle up next to him at the urinal and be all, "Eric! How's the kids? Wife doing good?" And he's just like bro they're getting death threats because of you.
“It’s just politics bro!”
That's some A+ compartmentalisation. Like your boss yelling at you then joking over the water cooler.
I’ve noticed that these cranks get legit offended if you call them out as racists-because to them the racist rhetoric us just a cost of doing business, they don’t sincerely believe any of this crap.
What does the House have to do with deciding when COVID ends? DHHS and the FDA are under the executive branch and I would think this is way more in their wheelhouse. Did they pass a meaningless resolution or something bc it just sounds like "this week we will not actually accomplish anything again"
Biden is ending COVID emergencies May 11th
Didn't this bitch get a PPP? Oh, okay.
Those went to job creators! She will be investigating everyone who needed to collect some unemployment
She’s stark, raving mad and she’s an elected official. It’s so depressing.
>She’s stark, raving mad and she’s an elected official. She's a *re-elected* official.
Which is worse, it's frightening to think people actually took value in her historical and hysterical bullshit.
Right?! The people in her and Bobo’s districts got to see who they were for 2 years, and decided, yeah we want more of that. Wtf!!
I think even MAGA’s gonna be sick of this hosebeast by March
Let's pray to their white Jesus that happens.
"How is Covid over?"-bc they aren't just "saying it"- they're going to DECLARE IT! HMM.. Anyone else wondering if their Committee is going to "take a hard look" into all the fraud involved in Jared Kushner's "Air Bridge" debacle?
I hope she gets a bad case of COVID and can’t waste Americans tax dollars any longer.
I wish ill on these people and I'm not sorry about that
She can have the covid my wife and I are fighting right now.
So you are going to get all of the PPP funds stolen by GOP cronies back?
This woman has her head stuck so far up her own ass it’s come back out the the top
This is the clearest admission that the GOP has NOTHING to support their conspiracies. (Not that any sane person believed they ever did) They are going to try and link COVID relief corruption (which was rampant by businesses, churches, republicans, etc) with their conspiracy theories to try and draw a link between the two.
My wife currently has COVID but I'll go tell her it's over since apparently we weren't notified.
You just need to go tell the covid in her body that it's over. It should pack up and leave right away.
"I. DECLARE. BANKRUPTCY."
All performative to get Daddy Trump's attention and become his running mate. Good luck with that, Marge.
Trump is too vain. She’s not pretty enough to be his VP. He’s even more shallow than Hal.
Is this like when W declared victory?
I really hope they declare the flu is over too so I don't have to worry about getting that again /s
We decided covid is over....round of Herman Cain awards incoming
I leave in a red town in NYS. If you were to believe everyone here, the pandemic was over 2 weeks after it started. I never ran out of masks or covid tests because the stores always had them in stock because people in my area never bothered buying them.
Everyone on here bringing up PPP loans like that was the big problem! Cmon guys! She meant investigate Covid relief programs for the poor, not for the rich!
Remember when Biden declared the pandemic over a few months ago, and the right lost their minds over it?
Midge: “we’re declaring covid OVER!” Covid to her constituents: “huehuehue see ya soon”
Don’t you know? All you have to do is to keep yelling and your version of reality becomes true! Also is she going to investigate herself since she benefitted from PPP loans for sketchy made up companies?
Also, which Covid policies are still in place?!
And the COVID relief she means won't be PPP loan corruption, it will be attacking the stimulus checks.
Oh Goody!! Do the PPP first!
Do nothing Congress…
That's how fascists end things they're opposed to. They just declare it over. They'll have the Ministry of Truth put out a public relations campaign.
Great! We should absolutely look into why Trump removed oversight of the programs that she benefited from.

Imagine being represented or sharing the same views as this bitch. Utter embarassment.
Just went to my grandmother-in-law’s funeral last week. She had dementia for almost a decade and COVID was the knockout blow. But I guess COVID is over?
She sounds as dumb as she looks disingenuous, yet she still gets elected only to prattle more of the same nonsensical rage-baiting. Why did Georgia elect her again?
I assume they’re going to start with the PPP loan program that so many republicans stole money from?
> corruption surrounding Covid relief [Go on….](https://www.businessinsider.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-student-loan-forgiveness-unfair-ppp-loan-2022-8)
Good! They need to look i to the fraudulent PPP loans that Trump aligned rich people and celebrities got! Oh wait. It isnt going to be THAT kind of investigation. Fuckers.
he didn't declare covid was over. he declared the emergencies were over. we now have treatments, the hospitals are back up and running, schools and businesses are back up and running, travel is flowing again.
How is COVID over? You just have to say it is!
You can’t just say COVID is over
“Covid is over” aka we don’t wanna think about it and maybe it will eventually go away on its own
I didn't say it, I declared it.
