Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will introduce impeachment articles against Biden
So freshman congresscritter MTG, who shall be known as the chicken-biting sideshow geek on this page, is going to crassly pick up where the seditious republicans planned to go if Hillary Clinton had been inaugurated. I know, I know, that feels like 128 years have passed since everyone was so sure Clinton would win that no one felt the least compunction about bashing her ferociously to show how tough they were but it really was only 4 years ago. It all seems so quaint that republicans had already lined up a couple years worth of slander and grandstanding investigations for the second Clinton Administration. Since then we've had neo-nazi marches, beer bashes on Capitol Hill to celebrate yanking health insurance from 20 million or more Americans, babies in cages, impeachment, a pandemic raging out of control, economic collapse, and an insurrection. So thank goodness we dodged the bullet of suffering through endless republican grandstanding with investigations *snark*.
Here however, we have a freshman member of congress who openly espoused the Qanon conspiracy theory (Nazism slightly rebranded), won her seat in a deep-red district in Georgia by virtue of being unopposed, who is now grandstanding on a threat to pass meaningless articles of impeachment on issues already investigated and based on nothing more than conspiracy theories in the first place. And against a man who has not even taken office yet.
“I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure our leaders are held accountable, we cannot have a president of the United States who is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies, so on Jan. 21, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden,” Greene told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly.
This really is just "Go Sportsball team Go!" Lots of observers are worried that the next doughface to threaten the nation will be smarter than Donald, but there will be mobs of really dumb ones too. And it looks like the chicken-biting circus geek is angling to be the new queen of the reprogrammable meatbags. Hat tip to Driftglass for that one, but as he often also says, this is a right-wing monster factory that produces both the meatbag marks and the con artists who manipulate them. Sooner or later they were going to merge, as they did with Doughfacedonny, and produce what Robert Altemeyer termed "double high right wing authoritarians." These people combine the aggression and dogmatism of the followers with the sociopathic narcissism of the leaders to create true believers. Doughfacedonny was famous for being famous because he could stick his face and name into every nook and cranny to sell his fantasy of luxury and quality. While the seeds of his fascism were already apparent when he took out the full page ad calling for the execution of the Central Park Five in 1989, he became hooked on fox news and hate radio the same way your grandparents or uncle Liberty did, he is gullible and loves to have his prejudices reinforced. So by the time he came down the escalator he was able to sell himself to the republican base of racists and imbeciles because he really was one of them.
And that is the impression you get from Marjorie Taylor Greene, this isn't an act, she really is that stupid and gullible to just follow the leader: Democrats impeach Doughfacedonny for inciting insurrection, so a republican moron tries to impeach their enemy over conspiracy theories. Are you ready for another round of vicious, mean-spirited obstruction, grandstanding and lies from the republican party? Because they are already coming. I hope this time it will look less like a threat to be taken seriously and more like the carnival side show that the republicans have always been.
