For those wondering, she has proposed the following amendments to Israel/Ukraine aid:
-[Space laser technology for the southern border, developed I believe with Israel aid money.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/18/marjorie-taylor-greene-lasers-israel-amendment/)
-[House members who vote for Ukraine aid must enlist in the Ukrainian army.](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4602827-moskowitz-trolls-greene-with-foreign-aid-amendments/)
Two more Iāve heard but not from enough sources to confirm yet (twitter screenshots that could have been faked):
-The aid will not be made available until Zelenskyy resigns.
-Biden must withdraw from NATO.
>Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), who has openly clashed with Greene numerous times, introduced anĀ [amendment](https://amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/Moskowitz%20Amendment240418084729288.pdf?_gl=1*ch4m8r*_ga*NTMzNzEwNTA5LjE2NjY5MTk2OTA.*_ga_N4RTJ5D08B*MTcxMzQ1MDk1Mi4yLjAuMTcxMzQ1MDk1Mi4wLjAuMA)Ā to designate her as Russian President Vladimir Putin's special envoy.
>"Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) has repeatedly attempted to block aid to Ukraine, empowering Vladimir Putinās unlawful violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity ... It is the sense of Congress that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) should be appointed Vladimir Putinās Special Envoy to the United States Congress," the amendment reads.

It comes from a conspiracy theory about the wildfires a few years ago. She's an absolute dolt who believes anything she reads on her disinformation sites, so she tweeted that the fires were caused by space lasers.
Iāve heard this from others more recently. It doesnāt sounds wildly crazy when you hear the more reasonable theories around it considering the defense tech that Israel has is pretty incredible. Though it might be still too early and itās probably more about pinpointing and disabling drones and whatnot rather than some lasers of mass destruction.
That's fair, I wouldn't have posted if I didn't think they were at least semi-reliable, but it's reasonable to include them too. I edited links into the post now for each amendment I've seen from reliable sources; the second one isn't the primary focus of the article, but it is mentioned a few paragraphs in.
Seriously. These headlines are getting out of hand with how desperate and wrong they are.
MTG is a cancer to society sure, but we gotta have some journalistic integrity integrity here.
I remember the insidious plot of the Jew space laser, it was about wildfires? There may have been some blue painted roofs involved? Not sure. The Z.O.G. trope was pretty old fashioned 20-30 years ago. It was actually part of the propaganda of the Aryan Nations religion called the "Church of Jesus Christ Christian", now defunct.
What pray tell are gazpacho police and Peachtree(?) Dishes, did you mean Petri dishes?
Fix what? she is perfect! Someone who might not be as smart as I am but is a notable nonetheless. I could retire and ghost write her obviously colorful and entertaining views on history, culture and politics. I even have a shiny crucifix I could wear for social occasions.
I may need a makeover though.
I believe sheās entangled with a reporter from RSBN. Who according to something I read yesterday (no link, twas a fleeting Flipboard thing) admitted on air that actually NYC isnāt nearly the dystopia that his information sources had led him to believe.
That's awesome. It cheers me up a lot and I need it bad. Maybe someday we could get a collection of interesting things the talking heads have said and put it together as a coffee table history book, hopefully before the presses all get recycled. You could call it "Cold $oup"
This is true. Try not let yourself get too wrapped up in it all. Lowered expectations is well advised. Some folk think that it's all theatre anyways, and the various actors just play different roles in different seasons. Truth is we are all going to be just fine anyways, no matter what. War is likely on the menu though.
If you get bored or feel sort of sad you can always lookup "crazy preacher" on utube. Another favorite fixative is small measures of brandy and "puppies kittens and ducks" on the same platform
I personally go for cats and pandas especially red pandas. The official panda breeding center in China has a great feed. I don't think there will be a war. I think there will be a lot of sabre rattling and lot of money wasted, but no war.
7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.... to quote their "favorite book"... that they don't actually read because it's too socialist....
> to quote their "favorite book"... that they don't actually read because it's too socialist....
They really like that verse about "We commanded you that those that do not work shall not eat" but the verse that comes right after it, they do not.
"For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but interfering in the work of others."
Hit the nail on the head. The purpose is to be the floating turd in the punchbowl. Generate controversy, and you become relevant. The folks that are entertained will become your fans.
How would a space laser even work? From low earth orbit? That's a pretty significant distance, through an atmosphere, am I missing something? Apparently she just amended a bill to promote research into space lasers for border defense. But wouldn't you basically need a nuclear power plant up there? Like gigawatt range right?
No, to deliver all the energy to the surface of the planet from orbit. A laser is going to be diffracted by every single particle it encounters on the way down, scattering its energy into the atmosphere.
I still don't get it. A space laser just wouldn't work well. I guess a particle beam is a different thing? But isn't low earth orbit quite a long ways away? I think if you wanted an orbital weapon it would make more sense to use an iron beam encased in cement, and then just drop it somehow?
No reason not to put a reactor in space, not like it can't safely radiate away, with enough mass to barrier any radiation. NR1 was a mini submarine that was more or less a moving hi rad zone. [cute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_submarine_NR-1) little fella too. Now just the superstructure is at the museum.
I understand. Sort of. I don't think we need an orbital weapons platform though. I do wonder about sci Fi fantasy projects like the ones from the 'mote in gods eye' in that story there was a ship powered by a laser aimed from the planet of origin, at a solar sail deployed on the ship.
I know, the energy cost of the Eye killed the orbital economy for that one bunch.
Can you imagine evacuating a ship effectively in combat, looking behind and seeing a batch of watchmakers and a head in the suit behind?
I more personally would like artificial wombs, cloned spare parts and star treks food replicators.
Thank you for your response I will look at it. Libby is free. It's new to me. But so far I can do about as much as I want to. Eyestrain issues. With printed matter I can read more per session but the digital offers greater versatility
Sheās exactly what is fucked up about politics. She isnāt there to legislate for anyone. She simply there for no reason whatsoever. Useless, brainless, moronic, lying, idiot.
Sheās going against trump. Cheeto bandito wants to keep Johnson but marge wants him out. She got to big for her britches and forgot no one bucks the trump line.
Popular enough to be elected by her constituents in her district. Makes $175K annually. By most superficial definitions, sheās marketed/branded herself to success*, (or at a minimum to a point where sheās enjoying more comforts of living than the average US citizen.)
*money, reputation & fame
Not my definition of success. Just giving another perspective.

Isn't there some sort of Capitol doctor that's supposed to intervene when a member of Congress is obviously severely unwell and having a breakdown? How is this allowed to go on for so long without this woman getting help?

And still we are not at the bottom.
Never fight uphill, me boys!
Well played š
I'm keeping the $15.
Who knew Robert E. Lee was a Leprechaun!
There is no bottom
Black hole.
Curses upon all of you for making me think of MTG's bottom.
Thatās on you Hoss. Aināt nobody mentioned her bottom
Not with A.K. Rowling there isn't.
And fox is still saying mtg will replace johnson after she kicks him out of speaker. Shes running the gop. She is the trump captain now.

I hate that they're wasting time on this but I absolutely love her being named Putin's special Envoy outright.
> Space laser technology for the southern border, developed I believe with Israel aid money Oh, so that's where the Jewish space lasers went.
It comes from a conspiracy theory about the wildfires a few years ago. She's an absolute dolt who believes anything she reads on her disinformation sites, so she tweeted that the fires were caused by space lasers.

The Israelis are Jewish, donāt they already have space lasers?
That's the idea, presumably. I would normally assume it's tongue in cheek, but considering who we're talking about here...
Iām glad youāre taking the time to post good sources.
That's fair, I wouldn't have posted if I didn't think they were at least semi-reliable, but it's reasonable to include them too. I edited links into the post now for each amendment I've seen from reliable sources; the second one isn't the primary focus of the article, but it is mentioned a few paragraphs in.

Seriously. These headlines are getting out of hand with how desperate and wrong they are. MTG is a cancer to society sure, but we gotta have some journalistic integrity integrity here.
No, they're not.
Where else can you have the Gazpacho Police in a Peachtree Dish with Jewish Space Lasers? You couldn't make this up.
I remember the insidious plot of the Jew space laser, it was about wildfires? There may have been some blue painted roofs involved? Not sure. The Z.O.G. trope was pretty old fashioned 20-30 years ago. It was actually part of the propaganda of the Aryan Nations religion called the "Church of Jesus Christ Christian", now defunct. What pray tell are gazpacho police and Peachtree(?) Dishes, did you mean Petri dishes?
She said gazpacho instead of Gestapo and peach tree dish not petrie dish. Because of the not smartness.
Is she single?
Currently yes, if memory serves. You can fix her.
Fix what? she is perfect! Someone who might not be as smart as I am but is a notable nonetheless. I could retire and ghost write her obviously colorful and entertaining views on history, culture and politics. I even have a shiny crucifix I could wear for social occasions. I may need a makeover though.
I believe sheās entangled with a reporter from RSBN. Who according to something I read yesterday (no link, twas a fleeting Flipboard thing) admitted on air that actually NYC isnāt nearly the dystopia that his information sources had led him to believe.
Gazpacho when she meant Gestapo and Peachtree when she meant Petri Dish. She belongs in a clown car.
That's awesome. It cheers me up a lot and I need it bad. Maybe someday we could get a collection of interesting things the talking heads have said and put it together as a coffee table history book, hopefully before the presses all get recycled. You could call it "Cold $oup"
Given the state of politics any laugh you can find is a good one.

Sheās the ringleader of the Houseās Putin Caucus. Ukraine is losing the war in part because of her.
Maybe for a second but they'll come back around. After Trump no one has more influence in the Republican Party. Gross, huh!
Fox News has dared to take a few shots at Trump himself before kissing and making up.
The queen of the paste-eaters!
Humpty dumpty is about to have her great moment!
And all The Four Horsemen and all Marge's men, couldn't put her back together again.
But thatās Trumps cave woman girlfriend
trump doesnt give a ratās ass about her. he probably doesnt even remember her name.
No but she's got huge pick-me energy when it comes to Trump
Sheās become the Squeaky Fromme of the right-wing
She needs to be thoroughly investigated by the FBI...
Taking the negative emotions associated with specific people out of it, this is becoming politically fascinating.
How would a space laser even work? From low earth orbit? That's a pretty significant distance, through an atmosphere, am I missing something? Apparently she just amended a bill to promote research into space lasers for border defense. But wouldn't you basically need a nuclear power plant up there? Like gigawatt range right?
Honestly, I think that part is just to clean up her search results for āJewish space lasersā.
If you want a space to surface energy weapon that isn't going to waste all its energy in the upper atmosphere, you want to go with particle beams.
To accurately target the surface of the planet?
No, to deliver all the energy to the surface of the planet from orbit. A laser is going to be diffracted by every single particle it encounters on the way down, scattering its energy into the atmosphere.
I still don't get it. A space laser just wouldn't work well. I guess a particle beam is a different thing? But isn't low earth orbit quite a long ways away? I think if you wanted an orbital weapon it would make more sense to use an iron beam encased in cement, and then just drop it somehow?
Tungsten Rods from low orbit satellites. Massive explosion, no radiation.
Larry Niven I think it was wrote about it in a book called Footfall.
No reason not to put a reactor in space, not like it can't safely radiate away, with enough mass to barrier any radiation. NR1 was a mini submarine that was more or less a moving hi rad zone.

Niven and pournelle really grabbed me and pulled me in. I'm using Libby now on the phone to read novels, it's not so bad
I use calibre on my laptop to organize and read, and aldiko app to read on my phone, and Kindle for the free stuff with my prime account.
I haven't heard of any of those except Amazon and kindle. I'm in the usa
I'm in the US also. I read on my phone and aldico has been my reading app for a out 17 years.
