(81,277 posts)She's going to be a bull in a china shop, and of course she always brings her own china.
(Winston Churchill quote.)
Marge is another one of those narcissists who think they are the smartest, most clever people in the room.
And they have absolutely no idea that every time they open their mouth, they look more foolish and more stupid.

(102,804 posts)Dunning-Krueger material there! Along with a few other disorders.
"I'm always right and I never lie! How dare you think otherwise?"
It seems like when Putin recruits chaos puppets he prefers not too smart narcissistic sociopaths.
They are easy to manipulate with flattery and cash.
They create the chaos and weaken the US and make democracy look foolish.
In addition to Marg's sociopathy and narcissism, it appears that she's probably drug addicted as well. People have speculated she's been doing steroids for years. We can see this manifest in her severe aggressive and nonsensical statements.

(102,804 posts)I just watched Artur Rehi's latest video, he's in the US right now, and he spends a few minutes on ruizzian propaganda and how it is employed. Most can see it now, it's getting everyone to know how to effectively reject it.

(81,277 posts)I keep talking about it but I can see now that people are figuring it out at long last.
It has been a very successful war with many of their puppets installed into high office across the United States and across Europe.

At least people are wising up.
Irish_Dem
(81,277 posts)I keep saying things I believe to be the truth, and hope some of it will sink in somewhere, sometime.
Yes better late than never.
But Putin and the Chinese are not stupid. They will switch their strategies and once again it will take us a long time to figure that out, by then a lot of damage has been done.

He's concerned that his country could be next.

Become famous and well respected.
Narcissists are the stars of the show, everyone else is just a prop.
They play out the fantasies in their head. Even when no one is interested.

Hey, remember when Madonna and Cyndi Lauper hit big about that same time in the early 80s and we were all divided on who would break out into superstar territory? I get the same vibe off the Greene-Boebert rivalry. I just never thought that MTG would be the Madonna of the two.

(81,277 posts)They truly believe they are the smartest people in the room, the most intelligent, the most clever.
They never understand why every time they open their mouth people laugh at them.
They assume people are jealous of their brilliance, their beauty, their talent.
It just never occurs to them that they are singularly untalented, below average.

Speaker Johnson released the list.

Speaker Mike Johnson wasted no time releasing his nominees in a House Resolution to serve as the "Impeachment Managers" for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Impeachment managers typically serve as prosecutors arguing the case, presenting evidence and witnesses, making opening and closing arguments to the Senate during an impeachment trial.
...........Higgins was last seen posting a threat to Judge Engoron right before the Super Bowl using a depiction of a hit man from the Godfather, and Marge Greene is, well, Marge Greene. Enough said.
Of course, what seems a likely scenario is that Senator Schumer calls an immediate motion to dismiss the impeachment case with an up and down vote before there is any trial. It seems pretty clear that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leadership want no part of this clown show, and won't put up much of a fight.
Which will leave poor Marge and Clay all dressed up with nothing to do. I'm sure we may hear from them on the steps of the Senate about that when its over.
TexasBushwhacker
(21,204 posts)cannot get 2/3 of the Senate to vote to convict? Not only are they not going to get 66/67 votes for conviction, they will probably have some Republicans vote for acquittal.

kelly1mm
(5,756 posts)get 2/3 of the Senate to vote to convict'. Mostly because they can.
Don't get me wrong, some are 'true believers'. Others want to stoke the base. A third group is trying to make impeachment just another partisan gimmick so the impeachments of President Trump can be delegitimized.
MagickMuffin
(18,318 posts)Sen. Schumer please let them hold their mock trial!
It would be extremely delicious to watch the both of them to argue the case.
It would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that these magas are nothing but circus clowns. Sen. Schumer let them continue to be an embarrassment to the American people.

(20,898 posts)In earlier posts I mentioned Marjie getting laughed at when she spouts her conspiracy theories rather than presenting evidence.
There are going to be plenty Snickers and sneers when she enters that chamber.
I do not see Chuck Schumer or even some Senate Republicans giving her any quarter. For I have to assume they do not respect her.
IcyPeas
(25,475 posts)She already knows this. She doesn't care if we laugh at her. She will not be embarrassed or humiliated or laughed out.
This is all about sticking it to the libs. They know this will anger us and that's why they're doing it. She's a perfect troll for the GOP.
And
Headlines! And donation$.
Takket
(23,715 posts)they are going to let MTG speak for the party before all of america instead of hiding her on Bannon's podcast.
i thought all rethugs knew that you only spout off in the press but you never actually put yourself in a position where you have to actually argue facts.... because you don't have any. that's why we heard a year about "crooked hillary" and all her horrible crimes but they never did SHIT when drumpf was president because they knew DAMN WELL they had NOTHING to actually present to a court.
