There is also a part where she has a hard time recognising that 1776 was an insurrection. And at some point she goes: "I'm not a history teacher." ... but then 4 minutes later it's something like: "We take our history seriously in Georgia".
I kinda find it ironic she called Biden "Dementia-Ridden" and "Mentally incompetent"... but during this hearing it was a lot of:
"I don't remember" "I don't know" "I don't recall" "Did I say that?" ...
@LeopoldBloomNot quite,its just that when she appears to be the impetus of an investigation based on lies and fabracated evidence that was specifically designed to discredit or remove a sitting President (read:an ACTUAL insurrection),you're kind of forced to pay attention to her.....
@DavidT8899 A legal investigation is not an "insurrection," dumbshit. Neither is filing lawsuits challenging an election's results, as Trump's legal team did. Both of those were done within the limits of existing laws. Planning and executing a violent attack on the Capitol to prevent Congress from carrying out their constitutionally mandated duty, on the other hand, [i]is[/i] an insurrection.
What do you call promoting a phony theory that the president was born outside the US and therefore is not eligible? Trump was one of the ringleaders for that, so according to you, he should have been prosecuted. In reality, we have freedom of speech, but apparently that only applies to your side.
@DavidT8899 I also wonder what investigation you are talking about? ... because the entire investigation into Russians involvement in the 2016 elections did bear fruit. I can just point you to the court cases of: Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Konstantin Kilimnik, Sam Patten, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos and Michael Flynn. Who were all convincted in this case, either because they were directly involved or were lieing to cover it up. You can also read the Mueller Report and the report made by the "Senate Inteligence Committee Report on Russian Interference in the 2016 Elections". This point was also repeated in the report of the National Inteligence Council on Foreign Threats to the 2020 Elections.
Report from 2016 volume 5 reads:
[quote](U) The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president. Moscow's intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.
[...]
(U) The Committee found evidence that Papadopoulos likely learned about the Russian active measures campaign as early as April 2016 from Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese academic with longstanding Russia ties, well before any public awareness of the Russian effort. The Committee further found Papadopoulos communicated the information he learned from Mifsud to a~ least two separate foreign governments. The Committee could not determine if Papadopoulos informed anyone on the Trump Campaign of the information, though the Committee finds it implausible that Papadopoulos did not do so.[/quote]
Here is a list of people involved, made by Business insider. The people really took some time to link their sources. Quite handy if you want to look stuff up:
Now... Trump loves to talk about "No Collusion", he even did it this weekend in delaware. He's still hammering on that nail. But he forgets to say that a large part of his co-workers (staff) were sentenced in this case. That there really was involvement from Russia in the American elections, involvement that favored his candidacy. And to top it all off, he went on national television:
[media=https://youtu.be/Nf_CATbYilQ]
... saying that if he had the opportunity to do what he's been accused off that he would do it. Because why not, if it helps him win it helps it win. Implying that the sitting president, the head of the executive branch, the guy that swores an oath to uphold the laws of the land and has to execute those laws [i](because that's his job)[/i] admits that he will not uphold those laws if breaking them favors his goals. Which is pretty much a clear cut example of corruption.
Oh, and the opposition is there to oppose. If they have something they are free to push it into the discussion, they are free to substaniate their point, they are free to have it judged in the arenas that the political framework creates. Discussing and investigating this wasn't futile and the fact that it actually had results shows that it wasn't hollow. But because this one thing, this "collusion" argument didn't pass the bar, parrots go "no collusion" as if that tells the entire story. Yelling: "No Collusion" when the president of the USA is making up a bunch of pardons to set free members of his own staff and loyalists that were all trialed and found convicted in the same case that the "no collusion" sentiment is rooted in... is kinda stupid.
So you are in favor of corruption continuing, when this woman is one of only a few who has exposed the corruption of the House of Representatives? Figures. You Woke/Globalists have no honor, no dignity, and are amoral. @Vin53
So ignore her Q-Anon beliefs and trust her when she's talking about Jewish lasers from space burning CA to the ground, got it. Good luck in your loon cult lady.
MTG exposed how the Congress works – or doesn’t work to be more apt. To vote on even an important bill only takes one or two congresspeople to be in attendance. In fact, MTG demanded that ALL representatives come to the floor and vote, so that We The People would have a record of who voted for what. When they vote remotely, there is no record. One bill had two people in attendance, and they passed it without any input from the rest of Congress. The People have no idea about half of the corruption and shady dealings that go on up on the hill. MTG has pulled back the curtain so we can see some of it. Pelosi is a damn traitor. Many of them are. They no longer answer to The People, but to special interest groups who are running our so called representatives like puppets, and lining their pockets to make them millionaires. Did you know that to become a committee chair, it costs around $1,000,000, and if you don’t have it, you either don’t get the chair, or you do the bidding of special interests, and they pay for your chairmanship. The whole system is corrupt, and we need many more MTG,s in Congress.
@DavidT8899 You can knock of the "AOC is dumb" bullshit. She won the Intel science prize in high school. Even Steve Bannon admits that she's very intelligent and effective.
Conservatives: "No more elites! We need regular folks to run for office!" Liberals: "OK, we have this bartender who is good at science and has a poli sci degree" Conservatives: "No not her"
She is an idiot and should not be allowed t ohold public office. I am sure the people in her district are so very proud of all the great work she is doing !
@beckyromero No, but there is a requirement that Congress members not engage in treason or insurrection.
What's interesting about this is since MTG isn't on trial for a crime, there's no presumption of innocence. She has to prove that she [i]didn't[/i] engage in insurrection. There is no right to serve in Congress and if she broke the rules, she can be disqualified. And "not recalling" anything isn't a good defense.
@CactusJackManson Picking up a musket and spending the summer in a field in Virginia, are you?
You know, all this kid-club secret code and insignias and cool clubs seems amusing on its face. I mean, it lends a certain fun "Oh, they're trying so hard" allure.
Then anyone with even a portion of a thinking brain remembers your lot is as far from patriotic, altruistic and driven by character as landfill rats.
@CactusJackManson Correct, it was. But what do you think would have happened to the brave men who signed the Declaration of Independence if their revolt had failed? Every one of them would have been executed. So if Jan. 6 was an "insurrection," I think we can both agree that it did fail, since Trump, in fact, did not get to remain president. So expecting special treatment for the insurrectionists is at best unrealistic and at worst idiotic.
If you're going to compare yourselves to the Founding Fathers, you're going to have to put your "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" on the line like they did, and not whine about being held accountable for your fuckup.
