From conservative Murdoch-owned New York Post by conservative blowhard Piers Morgan Moscow Marjorie’ Taylor Greene is Putin’s useful idi*t and the real betrayer of America Piers Morgan Every time mad-eyed blond blunderbuss Marjorie Taylor Greene opens her big, loud, expletive-fueled mouth, I feel like some of my brain cells spontaneously die. Since she first appeared on the Washington scene after the 2016 election, “MTG” has proven herself to be a trash-talking, cerebrally challenged, shockingly shameless, attention-grabbing political Barbie for whom no conspiracy theory is ever bonkers enough to reject. She claimed mass shootings like those at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, were “false flag” operations. She suggested the 9/11 attacks were part of a government conspiracy and that no plane hit the Pentagon. She said California wildfires might have been ignited by a space laser controlled by a Jewish cabal that included the Rothschild banking firm. She claimed Bill and Hillary Clinton murdered political rivals — including JFK Jr. in a plane crash. She has supported insane QAnon rabbit hole BS that top Democrats are involved in child sex-trafficking, Satan worship and cannibalism. And so — crazily — on. In fact, the full list of Taylor Greene’s stupefyingly cretinous comments and beliefs is so long, there literally isn’t enough room in this column to cite them all. Yet staggeringly, none of this has stopped her rise to one of the most influential voices in the Republican Party — and one of the most dangerous. This weekend saw the nadir of her nefarious antics as she led a campaign to stop America offering support to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, in urgent need of security assistance to defend themselves from the ruthless totalitarian regimes of Russia, Iran and China. It shouldn’t have been a difficult bill for Republicans to support. When three of America’s historical enemies are threatening freedom and democracy, the world’s No. 1 superpower has a moral duty, and obvious self-interest, to flex its financial and military might to help the targets defend themselves. If not, frankly, why claim to be the leader of the free world? And don’t give me all this disingenuous guff about how the US should forgo this duty to focus on the domestic chaos at the southern border. As many conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro have said, the nation can, and should, be perfectly capable of doing both things at the same time. Yet Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) seems intent on making America abrogate all responsibility for protecting freedom and democracy, and on doing the dictators’ dirty work for them. Especially with regard to the Ukraine war, during which Moscow Marjorie has become Vladimir Putin’s chief “useful idi*t.” The phrase is apt because it was another Vladimir, Soviet Union founder Lenin, who is thought to have first deployed the scornful phrase to describe naïve, easily manipulated Communist sympathizers in the West who spewed pro-Russian propaganda without comprehending the USSR’s malevolent intent. Lenin loved what these idi*ts did on his behalf but despised them at the same time for their treacherous stupidity. The current Vladimir will feel exactly the same way about the likes of Taylor Greene, whose Kremlin-pleasing rhetoric has made her the darling of Russian state media. Three weeks ago, she appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast and parroted Putin’s nonsense that Ukraine was waging a “war against Christianity” and Russia is “protecting the religion.” She even falsely claimed the Ukrainian government was executing priests. In fact, it’s Russia that’s been torturing, kidnapping and killing scores of Ukrainian religious leaders. And in a House Oversight Committee hearing last week, Taylor Greene repeated more Putin claptrap that Ukraine is overrun by Nazis — only to be corrected by eminent historian Timothy Snyder, who pointed out that no far-right party has ever won more than 3% support in Ukrainian elections, whereas the Russian army “includes openly Nazi formations” and “the government itself is fascist in character, and it is carrying out a war which includes deportation of children by the tens of thousands, the open intention of destroying a state, as well as mass torture.” Snyder concluded: “So if there is anyone who is sincerely concerned about halting fascism or racism, you would wish to halt Russia.” Taylor Greene is sadly too dumb or delusional to understand this, but fortunately, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) isn’t, and got the $95 billion foreign aid bill passed on Saturday in a bipartisan deal with Democrats. He explained before allowing the crucial vote: “I believe that [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] and Vladimir Putin and Iran really are an axis of evil. I think they are in coordination on this. I think that Vladimir Putin would continue to march through Europe. I am going to allow an opportunity for every single member of the House to vote their conscience and their will. I’m willing to take a personal risk for that, because we have to do the right thing. And history will judge us.” He’s right, and history will judge him so. But Taylor Greene’s predictable response was to demand he be fired. “Mike Johnson’s speakership is over,” she declared on Fox News on Sunday. “He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated.” And what was his crime, in her eyes? “He has betrayed America. He has betrayed Republican voters.” Hmmm. A recent survey by the American Action Network, the advocacy arm of the Congressional Leadership Forum, found that 56% of “traditional Republicans” favor aid to Ukraine. So Johnson has not betrayed Republican voters. And as for betraying America, he’s not the one being cheered on by Russian state media and Vladimir Putin. That’s Moscow Marjorie, the useful idi*t .

You should buy more truth social stock to fund your revolution. How’s that investment going by the way?

Summary: - In 2021, an innocent law-abiding accountant is getting into his car with his pregnant wife and toddler, in the middle of the night in underground parking garage at City Hall. They’re suddenly and aggressively confronted by plain clothes Toronto cops investigating a nearby stabbing, who don’t identify themselves as cops. Thinking they’re about to be robbed or worse, the family attempts to speed away in their car, accidentally running over and killing one of the cops in what is now confirmed to be nothing more than a tragic accIdent. - The police implausibly alleged that the accountant knew they were police and deliberately hit the man with his car (automatic first degree murder charge for cops) for no real reason as they admit he is a law abiding citizen with no criminal connection or obvious mental illness - Legal experts were surprised by the decision to prosecute, openly saying it is a political prosecution that never would have happened if deceased had not been a cop - 3 Cops caught lying on the stand, and are now under investigation by Ontario Provincial Police. All 3 told the same false version of events that is clearly inconsistent with the video footage and scene evidence, the judge observing while it is possible for one individual to have a false memory of something that didn’t happen, the jury should note that all 3 officers recounted the exact same false memory of very specific things that clearly did not happen. - After the judge expressed repeated frustration with the prosecution’s refusal to suggest any motive for a deliberate killing and the prosecution’s failure to present a theory of what might have actually happened given the actual evidence, the prosecution advised mid-trial it was switching to a “second theory” of what happened, now claiming that the officer was actually run over backwards not forwards and in a different location, which was less contradictory to the actual evidence. But then they couldn’t explain how the cops body ended up where it did it was run over somewhere else. Then the prosecution said it was abandoning the “second theory” and going back to the first theory, and will proceed based solely on the cops’ bogus testimony. THEY WERE MAKING UP THEIR STORY AS THEY GO WHILE THE MURDER TRIAL IS ALREADY WELL UNDERWAY. That’s how trials might work in Putin’s Russia or North Korea but not in democracies. - Despite the clearly unwarranted prosecution, Doug Ford, former Mayor John Tory and Mayor Patrick Brown tweeted incendiary tweets about the falsely accused during the Trump, expressing outrage at his bail, etc. causing him and his lawyers to e inundated with death threats and hate messages In an extremely rare gesture, after the innocent verdict, the judge apologized to the falsely accused man. “You have my … deepest apologies for what you have been through”

Actually Jesus was a socialist. Satan was a far-right populist.

The actual number? Maybe it 65%, maybe it’s 55%, it’s a slim but decisive majority. 60% “feels right” to describe GOP Putin supporters, Putin-curious, and Ukraine-skeptics, which are the main different flavours of Putin stooge.

LOL yeah right you’re just fooled by the same fake news she is Nonsense there’s zero truth to any of that. The real truth is that Russia and China are allies. By being Russian stooges, the Republicans are also China stooges and Iran stooges .

Yeah Riiight🤣 Brainwashed sucker. Thanks for proving the title of this thread is 100% accurate

It’s a small but decisive majority Nobody tells anyone to think that least of all me. It’s easily observed.

Putin is an active enemy of the west, I know the fifth columnist sympathizers of America’s enemies like yourself would rather nobody notice. Republicans bad, Putin worse.

Certainly the West was sleeping when Putin made his move in 2014. But when Trump became President, Putin expected Trump would allow him to take all of Ukraine without an invasion. The Trump 2016 campaign team and former Putin Oligarch employee Paul Manafort specifically had discussed this with Russian officials including Russian intelligence asset Konstantin Kilimnik. They specifically discussed how a Trump administration would end US support for Ukraine and end US opposition to Russian aggression, Only when Biden was elected did Russia realize they would have to try and take by force what Trump would have handed on a silver platter. Trump continues to be Putin supporter to this day.

The only anti-American slime is the Putin supporting traitors in the GOP like Moscow Marjorie and friends who are green with envy that they can’t have a similar dictatorship in the US….yet.

Right…Putin is not a threat, the Dems are a threat. Putin Puppet. No you’re trying to change the subject from the fact that more than half of the current Republican Party is actively aiding and abetting Putin.

OMG I cannot stand this guy, he’s always popping up in my YouTube feed. Not that I have a problem with what he says but something about the way he looks and talks just drives me nuts

Appeals court upholds conviction of GOP operative who steered Russian money to Trump camp Jesse Benton played leading roles in the presidential campaigns of Ron and Rand Paul and worked briefly as Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager. conviction of veteran Republican campaign operative Jesse Benton for steering an illegal Russian contribution to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Benton, who played leading roles in the presidential campaigns of Ron and Rand Paul and worked briefly as Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager, helped facilitate an improper $25,000 payment to the Trump camp and the Republican National Committee on behalf of Roman Vasilenko, a Russian national who had approached another GOP operative, Doug Wead, about his interest in meeting an American celebrity. When he was unable to get an audience with Oprah Winfrey, Steven Seagal or Jimmy Carter, the operative suggested Trump. Benton then arranged for Vasilenko to attend a join Trump-RNC fundraiser in Philadelphia, where the Russian took a picture with the soon-to-be president. Vasilenko used the photos to burnish his reputation in Russia “including speaking on Russian TV about President-elect Trump and his attitudes toward Russia.” Benton — who was pardoned by Trump in 2020for other campaign finance crimes in the final weeks of Trump’s term — was convicted by a jury in late 2022 of six felonies related to the contribution and falsified campaign finance records. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, sentenced Benton to 18 months in prison, and records indicate he is due for release in June. Both Ron and Rand Paul — the former Texas representative and current Kentucky senator, respectively — wrote letters on Benton’s behalf at sentencing, decrying the impact that a jail sentence would have on his family. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/19/trump-russian-money-appeals-court-00153339

With Republicans Like These, Who Needs Russian Propaganda? Some far-right members of Congress seem to be parroting Vladimir Putin’s talking points. That doesn’t mean anti-Ukraine conspiracy theories can’t be homegrown. Molly OlmsteadApril 20, 20245:50 AM Earlier this month, Republican Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Puck News that Russian propaganda had “infected a good chunk of my party’s base.” Several days later, another Republican, Rep. Michael Turner of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said he agreed. “Anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” Turner told CNN, are “directly coming from Russia.” It was a notable moment—and a telling one, as the House gets ready for a contentious vote on aid to Ukraine. The vote is being loudly protested by far-right politicians including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is pushing to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson from his role over the issue. It’s not the first time Republican lawmakers have accused their colleagues of essentially being Russian pawns. But as far-right rabble-rousers in the Republican Party have increasingly advocated against continued support of Ukraine—and even some mainstream Republicans no longer interpret Russian aggression as a ruthless threat to democracy and the international order—the most extreme lawmakers appear to be mirroring the Kremlin’s own propaganda. Last Monday, Greene told Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast that Ukraine was waging a “war against Christianity” and Russians “seem to be protecting” the religion. The idea of Russia as a great (white) Christian nation has been percolating in right-wing thinking for more than a decade, despite Russia’s history of suppressing non-Orthodox Christianity and exerting power over the Russian Orthodox Church. But Greene didn’t limit herself to praising Russia’s religious nationalism on Bannon’s show: She cited, as fact, anti-Ukraine disinformation that “the Ukrainian government is attacking Christians” and “executing priests.” This prompted former Rep. Ken Buck, another Republican, to call Greene “Moscow Marjorie” on CNN. And indeed, this assertion does mirror Russia’s own talking points about Ukraine. (In actuality, the crimes Greene accused Ukraine of committing are crimes Russian forces have perpetrated.) But whether the Kremlin’s own talking points are being piped into the brains of right-wing American politicians—or just bear a striking similarity to the new isolationist rhetoric of the far right—is a matter of interesting debate. ….. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/04/ukraine-russia-congress-johnson-republicans-marjorie-greene-putin-propaganda.html

OMG did you just copy your post from the GOP/Putin thread and past it here? Trump and 60% of the GOP are Putin stooges and MAGA supporters are brainwashed cultists who will endorse anything Trump decrees on any given day no matter how bizarre or hypocritical or self contradictory. Why don’t you get a can of gas and a match and join your cultist brethren.

LMAO it’s obvious what you’re trying to do, simpleton. This thread is about the undeniable fact that the Republican party is now overrun by a faction that openly supports, aids and abets Putin, the number one enemy of America and the West. WE BOTH KNOW WHY YOU JUST SKIPPED RIGHT PAST IT WITHOUT COMMENT You are desperately trying to change the subject to…anything… I could easily argue with your revisionist gaslighting Iraq bullshit, about what did or didn’t happen ten years and 2 presidents ago during the unnecessary Republican-invented war which will forever be remembered as yet another disastrous GOP scandal. But since your real agenda is to change the subject from you Putin-supporting nut-jobs in Congress like MTG, Im not going to indulge you.

Yeah but your opinion is batshit. As I clearly stated GOP cranks are trying to help Putin conquer Ukraine by cutting off badly needed military aid. Putin gets his military aid from his allies China, Iran and North Korea, whom you seem to have no problem with, you must think they are the good guys.

1) We can debate the legitimate mistakes of the Obama administration as well as your selective self-serving history and your omissions. But more importantly NONE OF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD OR THE GOP’S ACTIVE SUPPORT OF PUTIN BTW You guys can’t have it both ways, complaining that the Dems ate dangerous warmongers and at the same time they are weak “pillow biters”. Both cannot be true you have to pick a version of reality you believe in and stick with it.

Today Republican members of congress voted once again to help Putin conquer Ukraine by voting against badly needed aid 112-101 with one abstention. Led of course by Chief Putinista and walking punchline MTG, certified know-nothing and unhinged kook. Fortunately Democrats voted for the aid and it passed by a final margin of 311-112. They also voted to ban Chinese-controlled Tik Tok, something Trump was once outspokenly for until one of its billionaire investors paid him a private visit and now suddenly the idea is unthinkable to Republicans. All in all a nice day of losses for the Putin-China axis through its GOP proxies.

They already kneel and open their mouths to receive whatever foulness is presented to them, why not add OJ to the list?

A Trump supporter just SET HIMSELF ON FIRE to protest Trump’s Stormy Daniels trial. Literally every feature of a cult is found in Trumpism, from worship of a mythical all-powerful superman to literally killing yourself in horrible ways FOR HIM. But yeah let’s keep asking if Dems are a cult just because they refuse to agree with Far-right crackpot conspiracy theories that nobody outside of their ACTUAL cult believes

Meanwhile if a reporter interviewing Musk asks him a question he doesn’t like he bans them from X. Typical MAGA, screeching “freedom” while presiding over his fiefdom as a heavy-handed dictator.

Wow. That is lame. You went full Trumpet supporter with that one. What next you going to tell me that if I don’t unconditionally support Trump I love terrorists and hate freedom? That’s the level of argument you’ve sunk to here. You can do better. What should Isreal do today after decades of both sides doing everything wrong? Or what should have it done differently after Oct? Or from the start back in 1948? I assume the first one but it’s a tough question because the damage was done generations ago. Let’s start by stopping the slaughter of women and children and tossing Netanyahu and his coalition of militant extremist parties from office Once Israel has a rational moderate party ideologically willing to work towards a 2-state solution we can look for peace partners in Palestine and beyond amd take it from there

You are once again ignoring fact. srael has never once recognized Palestine’s right to exist and never once renounced occupation and settlement expansion. Also Israel purposely cultivated Hamas in Gaza to divide Palestinians Including dollars from Netanyahu’s government you cannot separate Israel’s aggression against Palestinians from Palestinian aggression against Israel I am not condoning Hamas or Oct 7 but it is unrealistic to expect that Palestinians should always turn the other cheek and simply find ways to cope under the oppression of Israeli hardliners, settlement expansion etc Yeah looks real peaceful there in Gaza. So what Russia isn’t waging war on Uzbekistan must mean they are peaceful. Israel is waging war on Palestinians and the decades of land-grabs, illegal settlements, stealing water, arbitrarily shutting off water, electricity, import/exports, aiding and abetting militant settler militias….that is all warfare. The war has never ended and has been going since before the bombing the King David hotel, it just takes different forms at different times. “The Palestinians” actually have diverse views and the secular Palestinian Authority unilaterally recognized Israel’s right to exist decades ago and still does….Israel is the one who refused to reciprocate That is a fact! Why don’t you take YOUR rose-colored glasses off and ask Netanyahu that same question since he deliberately isolated Palestinian Authority (who recognized Israel and participated in peace process) in order to cultivate and elevate Hamas (who called for Israel’s destruction)? Netanyahu foolishly believed he could divide the Palestinian people between these two groups and control them both. Also why don’t you ask how Palestinians could deal with Israel whose position is that Palestinians have no right to their own state and no right to be citizens of the Israeli state and therefore fated to be occupied people for all eternity, all while continuously building illegal settlements and carrying out all the other oppressive activities Ive mentioned several times already?
