Greene Says House Republicans Will Impeach Biden And Harris If They Win The Midterm Election

If Republicans win control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), their top priority won’t be legislating or doing anything to help the American people. Instead, they intend to try and impeach President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

At a reelection kickoff for alleged sex trafficker Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Greene made it clear that she and her GOP colleagues will be seeking payback for the two impeachments of failed, one-term former President Donald Trump:

“Here’s what we do after that we too impeach Kamala Harris, because you can’t encourage, and promote, and raise money for criminal rioters, and expect to serve the interest of the people, the great people of the United States. That is a conflict of interest.”

If Republicans win control of the House, they can indeed impeach Biden and Harris, though there’s no way either would be convicted in a Senate trial. Such a move would also alienate millions of voters as the country moves closer to the 2024 presidential election.

Trump has been hinting that he will likely run in 2024, but considering his age, questionable health, and possible indictment, that’s not even a 50-50 proposition.

Greene and her ilk are on the verge of overplaying their hand, and that could wind up making it all the more likely that Democrats win in 2024 and become the permanent party in power for decades.

Georgia GOP Senate Candidate Herschel Walker Says Evolution Is Bogus Because ‘There Are Still Apes’

According to Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, the theory of evolution is bogus because apes and humans currently coexist on the planet.

Walker made his remarks during an appearance at a Georgia church over the weekend, HuffPost reports:

“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3560&v=JqTuB1wzC8w&feature=emb_logo

Yeah, think about it. Because it’s quite clear that Walker didn’t give it much thought.

Evolution doesn’t say that humans evolved from the apes that are found at the zoo. Instead, both humans and apes have a common ancestor that walked the Earth about 10 million years ago.

Humans are also technically classified as apes, but that doesn’t mean the chimp you see at the zoo is just one evolutionary step from being fully human. And there’s nothing that prohibits apes and humans from coexisting at the same time. If there was, then one of the two species wouldn’t be here.

Walker went on to try and prove his thesis about why God is necessary for all creation by saying that science “can’t do” the “conception of a baby.”

“They’re still trying to do that, but they can’t, because there has to be a God.”

Does there have to be a God for in vitro fertilization? If so, is he found in the test tube or the contents of that glassware? And if God is in everything, how to explain the existence of evil people such as serial killers, genocidal dictators, and cult leaders?

Amazingly, Walker is currently in the lead in a head-to-head matchup with current Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who just so happens to be an ordained minister and could probably quote the Bible a lot more fluently and accurately than Walker, whose claim to fame is that he used to play professional football and won the Heisman Trophy in 1982.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Latest Campaign Ad Is So Batsh*t Crazy It’ll Leave You Speechless

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is running for reelection, which is no surprise when you consider that the most worthless members of Congress almost always seek to stay in office, even though they don’t do a damn thing but whine and draw a salary of $174,000 a year.

The worthless part is even more true for Greene, who was booted from her committee assignments for the disgusting things she’s said, some of them after she had taken office:

The Georgia freshman has come under fire in recent weeks for her history of trafficking in racism, anti-Semitism and baseless conspiracy theories, along with her support for online comments encouraging violence against Democratic officials prior to taking office.

And now we have what may well wind up being the most batshit crazy campaign ad in American political history, with Greene ranting as she attacks George Soros, President Joe Biden, and “the globalist economy.”

On the flip side, Greene manages to praise failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump and make excuses for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, insinuating that Democrats want to go to war in Ukraine to keep Putin from imposing his will on a nation of over 41 million people.

Here, see for yourself:

That led the Republican Accountability Project to ask a pertinent question:

“What do you think the most ridiculous part is? No wrong answers.”

HuffPost notes that Greene’s use of a Linkin Park song is likely to get her in big trouble with the band:

Fans of the rock band Linkin Park, meanwhile, asked if the members of the group knew if Fleurie, Jung Youth and Tommee Profitt’s reworked version of their hit song “In The End” was being used in the spot.

A pro-Trump video featuring the same cover was removed from Twitter in 2020 after being retweeted by the then-president. At the time, Jung Youth slammed its use as “propaganda.”

Linkin Park’s late frontman, Chester Bennington, was no fan of Trump. Representatives for the group did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

As for the question of what people considered the most ridiculous part of the Greene ad, some of the responses were pure gold.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses Democrats Of Trying To ‘Create Happiness’ So They Can Win The Midterms

 

If you thought you’d heard all of the absurd bullshit that could possibly emanate from the putrid piehole that Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calls her mouth, what she said earlier today is so ridiculous that it’s incredible she was able to say it without bursting into laughter.

Appearing on the right-wing “Real America’s Voice” podcast, Greene suggested that Democrats want to “create happiness” so they can win the midterm elections:

“I think we’re going to hear Joe Biden, he’s going to claim victory over Covid. And if he does that then you’ll know the Democrats are lying. You’ll know for sure like we’ve already known along that they’re just using Covid for politics and they’re very much looking to move on and create happiness going into the midterms.”

Wouldn’t Biden be justified in declaring victory over COVID? After all, it was his administration that made sure everyone who wanted a vaccination got one. 64% of the U.S. population is now fully vaccinated. 76% have received at least one dose. That’s despite the lies and misinformation spread by right-wing media and anti-vax extremists like Congresswoman Greene, who was too busy attending a white nationalist convention over the weekend to do anything constructive for her constituents.

There are already rumblings inside the GOP that they may not do as well as they originally thought in November. With clowns like Marjorie Taylor Greene on the ballot, Republicans have every reason to be concerned.

Perhaps the best response to Greene’s rant came from Twitter:

That’d make one hell of a bumper sticker. Maybe Margie can have some printed up.

Did Rick Scott Just Cost Republicans The Midterm Election?

On Tuesday, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who serves as chairman of National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is tasked with retaking the U.S. Senate from Democratic control in the 2022 midterm elections, issued what he dubbed his “Plan to Rescue America,” and it contains incredibly controversial proposals such as forcing schoolchildren to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and imposing taxes on anyone who doesn’t currently pay income tax because they fall below the poverty line.

The 31-page plan was released through Scott’s campaign account and includes a provision that would provide funding for Donald Trump’s border wall, along with naming it after the failed, one-term former president once it has been completed.

The Scott agenda also features a bogus allegation that Democrats are trying to “rig” elections:

“Today’s Democrat [sic] Party is trying to rig elections and pack the courts because they have given up on Democracy. They don’t believe they can win based on their ideas, so they want to game the system and legalize voter fraud to stay in power.

“In true Orwellian fashion, Democrats refer to their election rigging plans as ‘voting rights.’ We won’t allow the radical left to destroy our democracy by institutionalizing dishonesty and fraud.”

Scott’s fellow Republicans, however, are said to be livid by his plan and are warning that it’s so controversial and divisive it’s likely to cost them a chance to retake control of Congress come November.

One GOP consultant told Politico’s Alex Isenstadt that Scott’s plan is an “unforced error” that’s “given Democrats the first thing they can attack in six months.”

Another Republican operative noted, “This is what happens when Rick Scott’s presidential ambitions run headlong into Mitch McConnell’s goal of taking back the Senate majority.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has made it clear for months now that he doesn’t plan to lay out any concrete agenda should the GOP retake Congress in the fall, deciding the election should instead be a referendum on President Joe Biden and Democrats.

Now, however, it appears the election could well be a referendum on Republican cruelty and their utter tone deafness.
