One person, one vote continues to be at risk with Red Team congress persons.
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene advocated that people moving from Democratic-leaning states to Republican-leaning states should be temporarily barred from voting.
The congresswoman tweeted that "brainwashed people" moving from California and New York "really need a cooling off period."
Texans got a Red State cooling off period in February 2021 and hundreds of citizens died from hypothermia. Greene's view that most Americans fit neatly into Red or Blue political team boxes is erroneous. Many people consider themselves independents.
Congress won't enact the public's long standing desire for voting to be made easier. The Greene's of the world want to reduce voters to the people they actually serve.
Voting will be much cheaper with only policy-making billionaires pulling the lever. Just print a few hundred simulated paper ballots in the billionaires' private Votaverse.
The rest of us have long been ignored. It's like our five days with no heat, water or power during the Texas winter storm. Elected officials designed the system that spectacularly failed, causing widespread harm and misery.
America needs leaders. Unfortunately our political system has been distorted to not to give us what we need. It gives us the exact opposite, arrogant fools. personal profiteers and internet trolls. .Lord help us all.
Update 1-2-22: Rep. Taylor Greene has been permanently banned from Twitter, a private company with rules for participants.
Update 1-9-22: Blue Team New York Mayor appointed relatives to key high paying positions in city government. Red Team strategist Steve Bannon applied for a loan based on an expensive property he does not own. These stories reflect the big money churn within the politically connected, unethical behavior and possible crimes. Public trust, anyone?
Update 1-16-22: Chief political garbageman and former President Donald Trump offered a bunch of nonsense to his fans on the Red Team in Arizona. Did people actually pay for that?
Update 1-27-22: Sending out mail-in ballot applications is OK for a Texas Congressman but illegal if done by local election officials. Huh?
Update 2-2-22: To stamp out the canard of voter fraud Texas banned the mailing of vote-by-mail applications by local election officials. It did not bar Red Team incumbents from that very practice. Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick did just that using official looking letterhead as did Rep. Dan Crenshaw. I believe they have pointed out the speck in the other's eye while ignoring the log in their own.
Update 2-9-22: Rep. Greene tried to invoke Hitler's goon squad but instead cited cold Spanish soup. Gestapo, Gazpacho. Thank you Marjorie, I needed a good laugh.
Ignorance is as ignorance does. Add a dose of arrogance and things get squirrelly.
Update 2-20-22: A conservative retired federal judge said "the United States is locked "in a political war to the death" and that "American democracy hangs in the balance."
"Our leaders seem incapable or unwilling to lead us in this moment when we need leadership most. If our leaders refuse to lead us to where we want to go and need to be, then we must go there ourselves — and leave them behind," he wrote.
Update 2-26-22: Malaprop Marj spoke to the Wingnut element of the Red Team. Was it the Minestrone Militia? Next up, CPAC. Should it be renamed CrackerPAC? It's an icy cold soup of crazy.
Fox News commenter Cucker Tarlson joined Pormer Fresident Tonald Drump in praising Putin.
Malaprop Marj did no research into the person sponsoring the Wingnut event and claims she knew nothing of his white supremacist views prior to speaking. This rings hollow. Leaders lie to us in the workplace and in the political arena. I am tired of it.
Update 2-27-22: Senator Mitt Romney said any Red Team leaders who would speak at a white nationalist conference are morons and called such views evil.
Update 3-19-22: Red Team Rep. Mike McCaul called Cucker Tarlson an "organ of Russian disinformation." I think we know which organ.
Update 4-5-22: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene verbally insulted her Republican Congressional colleagues, calling them pro-pedophile. A fellow GOP member called her comments "ludicrous" and "typical".
Update 4-9-22: Florida's Red Team Governor Ron DeSantis compared a Blue Team Georgia governor candidate to Cuba's Raul Castro.
Update 4-22-22: Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene suddenly developed brain fog while testifying in a legal case seeking to block her from running for reelection for her role in the Capital insurrection. Like BP's Lord John Browne and Ivanka Trump her brain turned to jelly under legal inquiry. Greene's social media accounts could jog her memory, but those words are what got her in court. Ooooppppss.
Update 4-27-22: A year later the Trump White House almost immediately shifted blame for the Capital Insurrection.
Leaked texts have unveiled a Trump aide's plan to help the then-president deflect anger over the Capitol riot. Jason Miller outlined tweets for Trump to send out, blaming "ANTIFA" and "crazed leftists" for the violence. Miller also proposed a tweet accusing the "fake news media" of demonizing "peaceful and innocent MAGA supporters."
No truth at all.
Update 5-14-22: Greene said Democrats are setting food plants on fire to advance a globalist agenda. She didn't say if they were started with Jewish space lasers.
Update 5-30-22: Greene said plant based meat is grown in a "peach tree dish." Malaprop Marjorie is referring to what is called in real world a petri dish.
Update 6-19-22: Former President Trump spoke to the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Nashville. FFC executive Ralph Reed said this of potential Red Team Presidential candidates for 2024.
“We figure the best thing to do is to provide a platform for those candidates and assist them, informally, by letting them know the best way they can connect with and make their case to those voters and pastors.
“After that, we let the market decide.”
The market? How about the faithful. It's time to throw out the money-changers and that includes those selling their soul for earthly gains.
Update 7-7-22: Tucker Carlson blamed lecturing women as a reason for young males to use weapons of war on innocent Americans. Next he'll blame the shootings on untanned ball sacks.
Update 7-10-22: Unhinged Red Team behavior continues.
Update 9-27-22: Tucker Carlson cheered the election of a neo-fascist Italian Prime Minister, an admirer of Mussolini. He also encouraged threats toward children's hospitals who provide gender affirming healthcare.
Update 9-28-22: Tucker Carlson called hurricanes "a scam" just as Hurricane Ian and its 155 mph winds bear down on southwest Florida. Can we get a live report from Tucker as Ian's eye-wall obliterates property?
Update 9-30-22: Tucker could have given that live report from his property on Gasparilla Island, which got pummeled during the hurricane. I bet Tucker has federal flood insurance for his island estate.
Update 10-12-23: Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said a Red Team PAC meeting with a white supremacist was "a blunder." The white supremacist is on record:
...has frequently praised Hitler and questioned if the Holocaust happened. He has called for “holy war” against Jews, said he wants the United States under authoritarian, "Catholic Taliban rule" and fantasized about marrying a 16-year-old when he is older because that’s “right when the milk is good." He has said that he would beat a "disrespectful" woman so hard that she would collapse like a building on Sept. 11, 2001. And he has routinely pushed conspiracy theories that claim there is an intentional, Jewish-driven effort to replace white people through immigration, interracial marriage and the LGBTQ+ community. “All I want is revenge against my enemies and a total Aryan victory,
