Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for President Joe Biden to be impeached following WNBA star Brittany Griners release from Russia in exchange for convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Another reason to impeach Biden, the Georgia congresswoman tweeted. The President of the United States traded Russian terrorist arms dealer, Viktor Bout, left a U.S. Marine in Russian jail and brought home a professional basketball player.

Bout, nicknamed the Merchant of Death, is a former Soviet officer who was convicted in 2011 on several charges including conspiracy to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy to kill Americans, money launding, and wire fraud. Bout was ultimately sentenced to 26 years in prison.
Greenes reaction mirrors criticism from other Republican lawmakers and prominent GOP commentators, who have condemned Griners release given that Russia has detained multiple U.S. nationals, most notably former Marine Paul Whelan, as well as teacher Marc Fogel.

(11,767 posts)when talking about Apple Inc.'s decision to pull advertising from Twitter, I would say hard no on that question. Greene likely knows very little about the buzz words that spew from her face hole.
Problem is (and the problem will likely be for the Republican Party eventually) that she has the ear of Kevin McCarthy and as Michael Steele said, "She will be the most powerful Speaker".

(10,599 posts)She won by a 66% to 34% margin.
She could shoot up a Trailer Park in her Shithole District, and not lose any votes.
I keep hoping that the southeastern corner of her district will become bluer, as well as the northern part which contains the Georgia suburbs of Chattanooga. But that will take a LONG time.
She won 75 - 25 in 2020 with essentially no opponent, and 66 - 34 this year. Thats an improvement, I guess 😆

(138 posts)Is astonishing. This Marine, or at the very least, his family was part of the decision making process. What Marine worth his salt would be so petty and cowardly to think he must go with Brittany or they both stay?
This Marine is worth his training to be courageous enough to be the last man out!
A black American woman in a Russian work camp is horrifying. She has at least 3 strikes against her in Russia. I hope she wasnt abused too terribly. I cant wait to hear her story.
Any Marine worth their training needs to speak loudly against this utter cowardice coming from the republican filth.
