For those suffering from a lack of an historical background:

"Peace for our time" was a declaration made by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in his 30 September 1938 remarks in London after a meeting and reaching an 'agreement' with Adolf Hitler - who later was the mastermind of World War 2.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
.............George Santayana, a Spanish-American philosopher born in 1863.

because they are white rural Americans with legitimate resentments.

Because of their dumb-assery.

It was blather then and it's blather now. I do understand you are being sarcastic.

And there was another thread about it yesterday.

Do you have links? Thank you.

I only pop in here about once every three months, so I didn't see the earlier posts this week.

now my ears are bleeding

It's a well known fact that she causes severe brain inflammation.

I refuse to listen to her becuz I lose at least ten IQ points at the mere sound of her god-awful voice.

History is littered with "terrible" people, much more evil and terrible than Greene. The fact that they can rise to positions of power and stay so long in those positions, is more a statement on us as a society than on the fact that "terrible" people exist. Why is Donald Trump the presumptive nominee of one of the two major political parties in the United States? He is terrible. The man that Greene is defending, Vladimir Putin, has been in power in Russia for over 20 years. He is terrible. The US House of Representatives, is full of terrible people, all of whom have won elections to be in that position.

We need to stop asking "How can people be so terrible?" and start really focusing on "Why do we put terrible people in positions of power?" What kind of systems are in place, that allow people with no morals or ethics to become powerful?

Then we need to challenge those systems and power structures.

Systems that demand corporations serve their shareholders instead of their stakeholders. Systems set up to protect the assets of rich shareholders from irresponsible behavior or decisions. Systems that look one quarter ahead instead of seven generations.

Everything for profit is killing our planet.

The sad thing is that many of us, even on this site, continue to think that this system or these systems are the best systems and CANNOT be replaced with something different as if the system (Capitalism) is natural and organic.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Profit is the mother of greed. The incentive should be for all people to be healthy, fed, and have time to develop themselves to be the best people they can be. Instead we value humanity by its monetary assets and power.

"Real power doesn't come to those who were born strongest or fastest or smartest.... No. It comes to those who will do anything to achieve it."

She is a poster child for the importance of education.

Watch this and see why she will always get re-elected.

I really enjoyed it and he hit the nail on the head. Fact is that we have a lot of people lacking education among other things (like simple human decency).

knew who you were referring to. Worst Person of the Year award goes to...

In a sane society, people like MTG and any number of other Congressional reprobates (not to mention Trump) would be ostracized. They wouldn't be invited to parties. People would cross the street to avoid having to talk to them and would roll their eyes when their names are mentioned. But here, in the parts of the USA we could call Dumbfuckistan, they are elected to represent the people who live in those parts. How can we not conclude that being terrible isn't a bug but a feature?

I’ll talk with anybody, regardless of their political ideology, but when they start parroting the nonsense, lies, and propaganda that politicians like Greene, and talking heads like Hannity and Carlson spew, it’s just not worth the effort. People like that are damaged and irreparable. We have to focus our efforts on people who are not cult members.

that has infested TV. radio, internet, print, churches, schools, cars, the military and America's living rooms for the last 35 years, piping in constant brainwashing to the point that many are living in a fantasy bubble of misinformation. Many parents of now school aged children were raised on this shit and it has become generational.

And little to nothing has ever been done to counter it.

While he may enjoy that she is willing to do and say ANYTHING on his behalf, I would bet her ugly behavior does nothing to increase her odds for his #2. If anything, I think it disgusts him--especially such behavior coming from woman. Look at the women he DOES approve of in his life... Melania, Ivanka, and all the preening "hanger-on (s) " at Mar a Lago?

Ironically, the nastier she is, the less likely she'll get what she wants. And does anyone think even the cowards left among her R's in Congress are going to support HER for Speaker?

She may be from the safest district in GA, but even there I'd bet she is increasingly turning off/annoying at least some of her female constituents.

She's as big of an attention hog as Dolt 45, plus she's not hawt enough for him. She might upstage him, & you simply do not upstage the wannabe king. He'll pick someone who'll be content to stay in the background.

That is why he picked someone quiet and obscure like Mike Pence over Chris Christie last time. Margie is much too in-your-face for Trump. He doesn't need anyone stealing his limelight.

cicadas, earthquakes, and eclipse are a sign from God that we can trust Vlad! Does that get my name above the fold on the front page?"

Not a single thing you just said was true.

Because that's how the draft works

Oh yeah. There is no draft

That she has that many followers in her district keeping her elected. Part of our America has tuned into HITLERS monsters

Part of our America HAS ALWAYS been in love with Hitler and what he preached. Check out Rachel Maddow's "Prequel", then read David Corn's "American Psychosis," and then pick up a copy -- if you can find one* -- of George Seldes' "Facts and Fascism" as well as Antony Sutton's "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler". (The last named was a conservative -- old school -- and frequent contributor to Human Events and National Review.)

Fascism runs a thick and bloody stream through 20th century American politics. Prior to WWII, General (and thrice Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient) Smedley Darlington Butler testified before Congress of a plot to overthrow the Federal Government, and with it our democracy, that he, himself, had been asked to lead.

And the beat goes on:
Today, the bulk of Republican politicians comprise a 21st century 5th column of fascist supporters and are open admirers of Putin and Orban. Moreover, the cult hero and leader of the GOP, Fat Donnie, himself, has openly praised Xi and Kim Jung Un, as well as the Saudi Arabian butcher, Mohammed bin Salman. More disturbing, literally millions of us Americans are fully prepared to get bloody -- or at the very least cheer on those who do --should President Biden win re-election.

*I ordered one from Amazon

They always were that. Now they have social media to hook up and amplify their awfulness.

"You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it!! Is that clear?! You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immense, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!"

Muck up the works, keep Government from functioning. Here's your paycheck.

Every time she opens her pie-hole, the rubes open their wallets. She's not even from her district. She's originally from suburban Atlanta, where she's too crazy to be elected. She bought property in Redneckistan & got elected from there.

I'm a longtime GA resident, & the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has covered this in some depth.

with the invasion… from the conflict with Zelenskyy to the outing and annihilation of spies and the theft of intelligence …

Bad and dangerous demagogue. The way she mocked the survivor of the florida school shooting. Embarrassment to our country.

Putin STRONG. Trump STRONG.

Kill enemies!

yes, that's mean, but she is mean to everyone else, so I don't really care about her feelings.

You know there are texts, emails or phone calls with her Russian handlers.

And WTF is wrong with her district in Georgia to keep re electing this self serving troll?

If they get too close, there could be some kind of destructive particle + anti-particle reaction

I doubt she understands the basic history of Russia. It seems to me she is often trying to recruit herself to Trumps' inner circle.

"Putin said he didn't do it so I have no reason not to believe him..."

Fascists are TERRIBLE people. Fully capable of terrible things.

I hope west Georgia wises up to this.

i couldn't sit through this one, but i saw a clip of her yesterday claiming Democrats were advocating for "full term abortions."

definitely one of the worst. she sickens me

1.) Dictator says "I want that thing"

2.) Other people "You can't have it. It's not yours."

3.) Dictator takes the thing, waiting for pushback.

4.) Other people: "Umm... well OK. That's it. No more." No pushback.

Repeat 1 - 4.

I'm sure Putin has no designs on Europe.

Before Putin invaded Ukraine, he amassed 100,000 troops in the month before. I'm sure that was purely coincidental.

(From January 2022)

Margie is just repeating the Putin delusion that Ukraine is rightly part of Russia. In fact, Ukraine came first.

She isn't very smart.

To celebrate their DEATH.

Fed doses of misinfo via her algorithms for decades no doubt.

But what is Tucker's excuse?

is a malicious imbecile prancing around the edge of treason. Not the narrow Constitutional definition of treason, but the effective definition where words and actions have real-world consequences. And this vile creature dares to call herself a "Christian", even as she harassed David Hogg on the street in Washington, calling his dead classmates "crisis actors".
I still think she was the snake who planted the J6 pipe bomb. The bomber's sneakers were identical to shoes she's been photographed wearing. Coincidence? I think not.
Why NONE of the Republican members of Congress known to have taken an active role in J6 have faced ANY accountability enrages me. I hope that'll be an October Surprise.

…and take Tucker with you.

....and also taking every chance to brag about what a xtian she is..... And her supporters won't see it as a contradiction at all, they're totally on board with her hate.

I really, really hope she gets what's coming to her sooner than later, and I hope I'm still around to see it happen when it does.

Vlad picks easy dumbed down districts to get his dopes in congress,

One of the republicans I hate the most. If she was dying I would not render aid.

She should move to Russia so she doesn't have to pay US taxes anymore.

verbalises the seething resentment that a lot of people of low skills and intelligence feel towards their life and the rest of the world.

They feel that others are holding them back. Workmates, family, dem politicians, all holding them back from what they promised themselves their adult life would be like.
Those people are in the way of the wealth and happiness they promised would be theirs in adulthood.
Looking inward as how they come up short and what to do about it, is not in their personal skill set. It all gets externalised, and Marge helps them do that.

For her followers, her lack of intelligence and logic are solid features, not faults.
They will keep voting for her. And others like her.

I bite my tongue when relatives complain about their hardships, year on year, when there is zero evidence of them doing anything constructive about them.
The concept of 'doing something about it' or accepting their current state is beyond them.

There's not a great deal more to her than that. She's got her teeth into a job where she needs no brains or work ethic, but can keep the attention coming by constant agitation.

The clip posted above of her kipping at her Crossfit box - her arms are too weak to do it properly so she flails around like a goon - but she still posts it. That's pretty much Traitor Greene in a nutshell. That's nut. shell.

Marge.

The woman is no friend to democracy. That's for sure.

which I totally agree with concerning MTG, and stopped watching.

I thought it was a little odd for her to describe herself like that, but why argue?

Oh......there's more?

That is all

When someone has no conscience, they can do anything.
