"Trump Won"
- Promoting the Big Lie in Congress - after she was elected.
"Stop the Steal"
- Still promoting the Big Lie after she was elected, as well as the January 6th, 2021 insurrection.
"Molon Labe"
- Means "Come and take (it)" A phrase that has been adopted as a slogan by white supremacist and fascist groups - as well as by Qanon.
Today she claimed she hasn't "said" any of "that stuff" since she was elected.
If you watched the Maddow Show tonight you saw more of MTG's after-the-election bullshit, along with videos of her previous rantings of a sick mind.
Of course she lied today and Kevin "I don't even know what it (Q) is" McCarthy knows it.
The whole of Congress knows it.
And the House, lead by Pelosi, did something about it.

Because she still believes.

It's not simply free speech. It's not even free speech. It's the promotion of a lie meant to disrupt our democracy and an ideology intent on using violence as the means to achieve their aims.
The right-wing has shown time and time again they will murder people to get their way. From clinic bombings to the assassinations of doctors, to physical attacks on people they find objectionable, to running people down with their cars, to storming the Capitol to stop government from performing their sworn duties.
It stops being free speech when your speech is a call to violence.

(90,802 posts)I've got dachshunds and a feist. We're all ruled by three cats.

(57,073 posts)Awwwwww, Dachsunds! like 100 lbs of Dober kids in a sweey little hot dog body.
Had a Dachsund/Beagle mix rescue boy who was so sweet. At the Rainbow Bridge now. Still miss him very much.
I'd never heard of a feist! Beautiful breed! Looks somewhat like a Pitty!
And cats, yes, we have one who rules with an iron paw!

I hope the Biden DOJ investigates what happened that day.

Given that the 2020 election was rigged and therefore invalid, I cannot accept the office to which I was allegedly elected
said not a single Republican who won their seat based on the same rigged election

(5,499 posts)When did it stop being a political party and de-evolved into a club where the biggest entry qualification was the hatred of the other party, ethnic groups other than yours (ie us whites uber alles), xenophobia, and a place to fornicate with rancid conspiracy theories (most of which aren't very clever or believable), and filled it's ranks with dumb, just plain batshit crazy brainless snot-dribble people?
When did this group of people stop looking at themselves and stopped feeling any shame at what they had become?
When did this bunch actually start to think that they were a political party, and there was a future for them in a normal world?
Inquiring minds around the world are asking for answers.
Today . . . . she said that she never thought or said many of those things we have plenty of proof of.
She said she was sorry, in body language if not in words. But sorry she got called out on it, sorry there are consequences?
Perhaps she has learnt her lesson, and will behave?
Actually, no. If she was capable of more sane and rational actions and words, why didn't that happen long ago?
Answer: She can't.
Take the heat off her, and she will go back to where she was, who she really is.

(90,802 posts)The GOP has been becoming what it has turned into for a long while now. Along the way they started electing the very base they had been pandering to for years.
The GOP sent out dog whistles that attracted voters by appealing to prejudice and then the base started thinking they could do a better job since they felt their representatives weren't extreme enough.
And here we are.
Well, to make a long, more detailed story short.

Excerpt...
QAnon true believers think Donald Trump will rescue America from this Satanic cabal. At the time of The Storm, supporters of the cabal will be rounded up and executed.
The QAnon conspiracy theory has now spread to neo-Nazis in Germany, where over 200,000 German QAnon accounts infest the internet. A faction known as Reichsbürger, or citizens of the Reich, orchestrated a brief storming of Parliament on Aug. 29.
Many people are perplexed at how any rational person could fall for such an irrational conspiracy theory. But modern social science shows that people in groups dont always think rationally. They respond to fear and terror. They blame their misfortunes on scapegoats. They support narcissistic demagogues they hope will rescue them.
In the 1930s, millions of Europeans were unemployed. Violent battles between Nazis and Communists raged in city streets. Democratic governments were powerless. Fascist dictators ruled Spain and Italy. Hitler took power in Germany and conquered Western Europe. Stalins Communists conquered the East. The Hitler-Stalin Pact sealed totalitarian rule over most of Europe. It took World War II and the deaths of millions to defeat the Nazis genocidal tyranny, and another fifty years to free the gulags of the Soviet Union.
Today the American people suffer from a Plague. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs. Angry mobs roam American cities and battle militarized police and heavily armed militias. The American government seems to be paralyzed. Dictators rule Russia and China. Islamic fascists rule Saudi Arabia and the old Ottoman and Persian empires. The American President appeases Russia, scapegoats China for the pandemic, and looks the other way as Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman murder their opponents.
