Guam pays Marjorie 'Traitor' Greene a visit

[bigtree]

Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila
After QAnon terrorist Marjorie Greene stupidly called Guam a foreign land, Guam Rep. Michael F. Q. San Nicolas and members of the Guam National Guard paid the office she’s in a visit. Guam has been a US territory since 1898, its residents are US citizens.

1. Great!

She and Qbert are about the dumbest CongressCritters since Goehmert and Johnson

[gab13by13]

14. I don't know,

Goehmert and Steve King were twins separated at birth. They made quite a duo.

2. hiding in the closet, maybe?

she's an embarrassment, or would be if she were my Representative

3. how many soldiers from Guam have

died or been wounded during deployments to hostile areas Afghanistan and Iraq in defence of our country? Looked extensively. Could not find any specific numbers. Which is probably on purpose. And not unwise I guess. Nonetheless, If a number somewhere outside my ability to find should be publically available those numbers should be taped to her door in Congress, every day.

5. More Relevant

how many Chamorro (Guamanians) died or were forced labor during the Japanese occupation of the island from Dec 1941 through July 1944?

Alas, too late for my grand father and uncle who were forced labor during the occupation.

6. more relevant to you

no doubt. My question remains as most relevant to me. In regard to M traitor greene and her hurtful and stupid nonsense...

[modrepub]

24. There were far More People Impacted

by the Japanese occupation than have served in the US military. Not to disrespect those that served, but the civilian suffering under the occupation is nothing to dismiss either. My father was 4 when the Marines returned so he remembers watching the US forces bombing Japanese positions. Most of my family that lived through that time are gone now. They rarely talked about it, I only caught dribs and drabs from my cousins and step mom. I can only imagine it was absolutely horrifying. My aunts hair was cut short so she would not attract attention the attention of Japanese soldiers who were known to have a thing for blond girls; for the entire occupation.

Dissing what the native Chamorros had to endure during the Japanese occupation (and the American government turning a blind eye to it for nearly 50 years) is just as, if not more, infuriating than disrespecting the soldiers that have either served on or served from the island.

The people of Guam will always be thankful for the members of the armed services, especially those that liberated them. But I believe people like Greene are more dismissive of the collective pain the locals have endured since the US took over the island from the Spanish (which was another nightmare for the native Chamorros). Their story is very similar to the native american tribes/nations on the continental US.

Peace be with you.

28. I did not diss anyone

on purpose. Foregive me if perceived as such. War is a horrible human solution to disagreements among inhabitants of this small planet. All who suffer under war's consequences are to be honoured. I am asking for peace unto you... and me.

11. My Dad served there during World War II.

10. I found 16, but the number may be dated

13. thanks

I was still looking...

[Hortensis]

25. I'm sure figures are available to the public and of course congressmen,

who can ask a staffer to look them up. They're not among the first offerings search engines cough up since few look for them. And, agree it would be nice if they were taped to her door each day, but only because they'd irritate her, not because they'd change her attitude.

[llashram]

29. +

especially the "irritate" part.

4. Territories should at least have one voting member in each chamber.

One voting representative and senator.

We need changes to the Constitution for it.

[usaf-vet]

12. IMHO it would be dangerous to attempt to "change" the Constitution. i believe that would require....

.... a Constitutional Convention which would open the Constitution to all kinds of changes many financed by dark money to get, more lenient gun laws, anti-abortion laws, countrywide privatized services, medicare, social security, and ACA would all be on the chopping block.

All the things the rightwing has dreamed of but can't make it happen nationwide. That is why we have red states and blue states and only the illusion of the united states.

If you doubt these contentions just look at what MoscowMitch has managed to do in Congress while the country as a whole was helpless to stop him. Let's start with three ill-acquired SCOTUS seats.

Do we really want this generation of greedy self-servicing lawless MEN to rewrite the Constitution?

[Bob_in_VA]

16. No convention needed

An amendment making the change would be sufficient.

[roamer65]

26. Bingo.

[Goodheart]

7. Not the least bit surprising. trump didn't know that Puerto Ricans are US citizens, either.

[colsohlibgal]

8. Sad

A large percentage of Trumpsters could use a Civics/History Class.....though with the dumber ones it might not help.

[lastlib]

19. If tRumpers could be reasoned with/educated, they wouldn't be tRumpers.

They're beyond hope--uneducable. I no longer attempt it.

[usaf-vet]

9. She is nothing but a loud mouth coward. She feels brave when she has aides to defend her.

[MineralMan]

15. What She Doesn't Know Could Fill a Library

She's totally unqualified for the office she holds.

[patphil]

17. Her ignorance knows no boundaries.

[ffr]

18. She should resign. She's a disgrace!

Just sad. Stupid and sad.

[DVRacer]

20. I maybe in the minority here but

Having worn the nation’s uniform this is a bad look. No person in uniform should be used as a prop for any political figure. We even have regulations against it even the NG.

[bigtree]

21. they were representing their country, not a politician

...states are free to employ their National Guard forces under state control for state purposes and at state expense as provided in the state's constitution and statutes.

[DVRacer]

22. Oh they can go just not in uniform

Flip the script imagine the Texas NG in uniform marching to Speaker Pelosi’s office. This is a big deal in the military.

[Yeehah]

27. If Pelosi said Texas is a foreign country

I wouldn't give a shit if some Texas guardsmen showed up in uniform to give her cookies.

[calimary]

23. Hey! I LIKE that, a LOT! "Marjorie Traitor Greene"!

It's all about effective BRANDING.

The more we can brand her, the more effectively, the better! Because if one of those brands really sticks, she's DONE.

BOOM it's on bumper stickers. BOOM it's on Twitter. BOOM it goes viral. BOOM it imbeds in the memory and gets repeated verbally and shared with other potential voters. BOOM it reminds people how vile she is and how big a snake she is and how she does NOT belong in Congress or anyplace else where she can grab power or significant influence.

BOOM she's ultimately reduced to the complete pathetic joke she actually is. A cartoon. An object of ridicule not to be taken seriously. And she ends her career in Congress with only ONE freshman term. She came outta nowhere. And that's where she deserves to return.

Let's work toward making that a reality! She ran unopposed last time, but not now:
