Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said on social media this weekend that she is not suicidal, raising the prospect of heinous actions in response to her support for a measure that would force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet, Greene said Saturday on social platform X, also noting her faith in God. With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out.
Not only about this issue, but because of the truth that I have been speaking, she added. The People understand what Im saying.

(82,292 posts)Every now and then a patient is admitted to a psych ward
claiming the FBI is out to get him. He is diagnosed as paranoid and psychotic.
Of course the clinical staff is a bit taken aback when the FBI shows up the next
day and drags the guy out in handcuffs.

(3,529 posts)Not to make light of true paranoia and psychosis (I can't resist wordplay - sorry), because ICE/FBI/online surveillance is making the dividing line between fantasy and reality even narrower these days.

Oh I am sure things are different today.
When a person claims the feds are out to get him, staff may indeed
consider it is real.
I used to do hospital emergency room evaluations to determine
if someone got sent to the inpatient psych unit or sent back home.
Today there would be some big changes to my interview and criteria.

(82,292 posts)She was carrying on an extended discussion with herself, or so I thought.
I was positive I was seeing someone experiencing a psychotic episode.
And was alarmed. Then I realized she had her phone connected to some sort of
wire in her ear.
I had to ask my daughter what the hell I had been seeing and she told me
about ear buds, etc.
I just heard a funny story from a clerk in a store.
She told she went shopping with her 80 yr old father and paid the bill
with her phone via Apple Pay. He thought she was just walking out of the store
with their groceries and not paying. He started screaming at her for being dishonest, etc.
Telling her to pay the damn bill. She was trying to explain she had paid with her phone
and he didn't believe you could do that. Poor Dad.

Most of them are working for the Federal government. One of them is in charge of it.

(35,495 posts)MTG is actually on the right side of something for a change,
and she's afraid of being 86'd.
You just can't make this shit up.
I wonder if she should get a body guard and wear
full body armor when she's out and about ...
though it would be hard to tell the difference.
mr715
(4,145 posts)and she literally has to say how she isn't suicidal.
Its like bacteria getting a refill of antibiotics.

(1,329 posts)Trying to gain sympathy and votes for the midterms! She already knows her relationship with the orange menace has lost its glamour so she's going anti-Trump so she can keep her GOP votes and gain independent and Democrat votes. She's not the first one to play this stupid game. Folks in MTG's district should pay close attention and not be distracted by her nonsense.
