Aide To Jim Jordan Whines That A Staffer In Alvin Bragg’s Office Hung Up When He Called

When he demanded information from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) probably thought Bragg would agree to cooperate with the committee.

But it turns out that Jordan was sadly mistaken, as staffers for Bragg are making it clear they aren’t impressed with Jordan’s requests and have no intention of even taking phone calls from the congressman’s office.

According to The New York Post:

Rude reps for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told a House Judiciary staffer to “stop calling us with this bulls–t” after he made multiple attempts to get in touch by phone.

The Judiciary Committee staffer who called Bragg’s office at noon on Wednesday was promptly hung up on after he identified himself to a woman who answered the phone, a person familiar with the call told The Post.

When the staffer called back a second time and identified himself, a second woman bluntly told him, “Your committee has no jurisdiction over us. You’re wrong. Stop calling us with this bulls—t,” the insider said.

The Jordan aide added, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen any government entity respond to Congress in that manner. It’s quite embarrassing, but I don’t think anyone is surprised based on how partisan that office has become.”

Keep in mind that Jordan and the House of Representatives don’t have a right to request anything from Bragg’s office. Congress has zero jurisdiction over local prosecutors. A DA like Bragg answers to the voters who elected him, in this case residents of New York County, which includes Manhattan.

Bragg’s general counsel, Leslie Dubeck, has already responded to Jordan and his committee, calling their investigation “an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution” 

Bragg is considering charging former president Donald Trump with a felony for paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 run for the presidency. A grand jury is expected to hand down indictments sometime next week in the case.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Guests On ‘The View’ Want To Assassinate Her

Georgia GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is furious with guests who appeared on Friday’s episode of “The View” and believes they want to assassinate her.

Actresses Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin were the guests Friday, and co-host Joy Behar asked Fonda what she thought could be done beyond marching and protesting in response to the Supreme Court’s decision last year in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

Fonda replied, “Well, I’ve thought of murder.”

Tomlin asked, “What did you say?”

Clearly referencing the theme of the new comedy, “Moving On,” that she and Tomlin star in, Fonda repeated, “Murder.”

Behar then interjected, “She’s kidding, she’s just kidding. They’ll pick up on that and just run with it.”

And Greene did indeed run with it, posting a response on Twitter.

“Unapologetic Pro-Life Politician here,. I routinely get death threats because of the nasty women on The View and the things they say about me. But calling for us to be assassinated makes The View, the hosts, the producers, the network, the advertisers, and everyone involved responsible for death threats, attacks, and potential murders of Pro-Life politicians and activists. I am reporting this.”

“By the way @Janefonda your eggs are dried up so you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant anytime soon, so you can retire from demanding baby murder now.”

Greene was then reminded of times she called for the death of people online and how her histrionics were beyond hypocritical.

WATCH Ted Cruz Get Roundly Booed When He Says More Guns Are The Solution To Mass Shootings

Despite having zero proof that more guns are the way to stop mass shootings in the United States, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Saturday at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin that the only way to stop bad guys with guns is to give even more guns to the good guys and anyone else who wants one, or even a hundred.

In other words, Cruz was spouting the same bullshit every member of the GOP clings to because they’re owned by companies that manufacture weapons of mass murder.

Cruz told attendees:

“Whenever you have a mass murder … you have Democrats in Washington, the step they immediately go to is we need to take away firearms from law-abiding citizens. OK, you can clap for that except for the minor problem that it doesn’t work. If the objective is to stop these crimes, gun control is singularly ineffective.”

Of course, the same could be said about lack of gun control, which is clearly not doing a damn thing to decrease shootings.

Instead, Cruz suggested the country adopt his plan:

“If you want to stop crime, you target the bad guys. You target the criminals, the felons, the fugitives. You prosecute them, you put them in jail, you get them off the streets, and you also enhance security at vulnerable targets.”

The Texas Republican said the same was true for shootings at schools:

“Two weeks ago, I stood on the Senate floor and tried to pass legislation I’ve introduced that would double the number of police officers in school. If we want to keep our kids safe, and I desperately want to keep our kids safe, the most effective step we can do is to have police officers there to protect them who can intercept a mass murderer before he gets into the school and stop them.”

Loud boos and jeering could be heard among those listening to Cruz, who continued to spout platitudes he likely got directly from the NRA:

“Look, if you have a solution to stop the deranged evil murderers, I’d love to hear it. My solution is to throw them in jail. Stop them before they commit these crimes. There are some we won’t know about beforehand, and the single best step to stop them is to have armed officers on campus that can stop them before they kill our kids.

“But look, instead you guys can instead sing kumbaya with them and hope they’ll just stop, but what you’re proposing doesn’t work.”

Neither does what you’re proposing, Ted, and there’s a river of blood flowing across this country that proves so.

Congress GOP Whining Joe Biden WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She’s Plans To Impeach Joe Biden For Supporting Renewable Energy

Ever since she arrived in Congress two years ago, it’s been clear that Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is nothing but a shameless self-promoter who will do anything to advance her political career and nothing to actually help her constituents back home.

Greene is also a disciple of disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, whom she supports no matter what crime he commits or laws he breaks.

And now Greene is admitting she wants payback for the fact that Trump was impeached twice, insisting that she intends to file articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden for the crime of supporting renewable energy such as that produced by the sun and wind.

Appearing on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Greene proudly announced:

“Because they’re driving the Green New Deal which is going to plunge America into darkness and that will lead to death and all kinds of issues across America. We simply cannot exist on solar and wind energy at this time. The technology is not there and there’s no reason to destroy fossil fuels.”

Greene added:

“And because of that, Steve, it’s such a dangerous threat. No president should be doing that. I have articles prepared on Joe Biden and we’re looking at introducing those possibly as early as this week.”

It probably won’t surprise you to learn that what Green said is complete bullshit, as the Yale University School of Environment has explained:

In reality, it is entirely possible to sustain a reliable electricity system based on renewable energy sources plus a combination of other means, including improved methods of energy management and storage. A clearer understanding of how to dependably manage electricity supply is vital because climate threats require a rapid shift to renewable sources like solar and wind power.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a imbecile.

GOP Whining Joe Biden WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Whines That Joe Biden Is Trying To Incite ‘Violence’ Against Her

A day after she shared a video on Twitter which portrayed President Joe Biden as Adolf Hitler, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) changed tactics and tried to paint herself as a victim of Biden’s remarks on Thursday in which he slammed MAGA Republicans as “an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

Greene was in attendance Saturday at a “Loser’s Tour” rally being held by disgraced, one-term, twice impeached former president Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, and she immediately found the nearest camera and microphone so she could begin whining:

“They’re using their position of power, and they have declared war on all of us because Joe Biden basically said in his speech that we’re the enemies of the state, and he’s calling us extremists, and so that’s a dog whistle for violence against MAGA Republicans, and it is a continued dog whistle of violence against me.”

How exactly did the president target Greene for violence? She must be one of those fascist MAGA Republicans if she thinks Biden was aiming his remarks at her. As we say in the South, A hit dog always hollers.

President Biden is trying to warn the nation that the current iteration of the GOP is in some says an extremist group. For anyone who doubts that, consider the evidence:

  • Republicans have repeatedly said the 2020 election should be invalidated.
  • Many in the GOP have supported the actions of the rioters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
  • People such as Greene continue to use inflammatory language about how they intend to take control of the country, no matter what they have to do in order to accomplish that goal.

Maybe if Marjorie Greene and some of her more radical colleagues would call for calm and debate instead of trying to turn everything into a shooting war, this country could actually heal and come together in a productive fashion.
