Qongresswoman Greene has some thoughts on how forest fires are started. Apparently they’re started by space lasers owned by the Rothschild’s.
On behalf of the Elders, it is always nice to see the classic Rothschild edition of the global Jewish conspiracy. It’s a refreshing break from Soros is funding this and Soros is responsible for that. Though she does still work Soros in to her conspiracy crazy too!
At this time the Elders have not authorized me to confirm or deny anything. However, I am authorized to include this obligatory video, which we’re sure Qongresswoman Greene will think is a documentary.
Open thread!
Full Disclosure: Theodore Maiman, who is credited with inventing the laser, was my cousin (3rd cousin or so…). I never met him.

Lauren, sweetie, PG&E has been a monster corrupt corporation since Ben Franklin flew his kite. They have robbed and failed the state since Saint Ronnie Reagan was a half a gleam in his grandfathers’ eyes. They have operated the same crooked way with impunity since the regulatory capture of 1874(*1) under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Untold thousands of their customers unfortunate enough to live under their rule have died unnecessary deaths by wildfire and horrific city disasters because they don’t do the tiny bit of repair and replacement that Democrats have managed to make required by law and regulation because it would be too expensive.
It’s much cheaper to pay a few million to citizens and a shit ton of billions to law enforcement, journalists, scientists, lobbyists, all the Republican and a few Democratic candidates each year as costs of doing business.
Rothschild, Soros, laser beams, or international conspiracies you read about a lot have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
I’d advise you to improve your reading matter and maybe you could buy a clue, but I know you won’t, so we’ll just keep dragging skeletons from your closet and showing viewers your insane speeches on the House floor until you’ve embarrassed the country enough so the moneymen buy a replacement for you from their pocket change.

Thanks, I heard something about the House seriously considering about expelling her. She doesn’t belong in Congress, but I guess the votes aren’t there if the House Republicans won’t play ball.
I’m very disturbed with how the state GOP parties have been acting, especially AZ. Trump lost the election and was a one-termer; when was the last time a one-term president ever played a significant role in a political party’s future (as in seriously considered a front-runner in the next election)? This is crazy and I don’t know what happens next. The GOP has become a full-blown authoritarian cult. Trump and Trumpism was supposed to be discredited when he lost, and it looks like the opposite has happened. The GOP was not punished at the ballot box or at least they don’t see it as being punished, considering they gained House seats. Weirdly, them losing the GA Senate seats hasn’t seemed to deter them either.
I guess some of them think they have to placate Trump to stop him from blowing up the party? Will this insanity continue after he’s dead or incapacitated?

Marjorie Taylor Greene has a real tenuous relationship with the truth, as noted here.

It’s probably one big reason why Susan Collins won: she is very good at getting stuff done for the people of Maine.

Now a Democrat isn’t going to win up there but a less crazy Re- okay I couldn’t finish that. But someone could run as less of an embarrassment maybe. Or willing to do the grunt work.

@Zinsky:
There’s been a lot of discussion about the things MTG has said and posted, but one comment of hers I don’t think is getting enough attention:
“In April 2018, when someone asked, “Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O,” a reference to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Greene responded: “Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.””
Huh. Of course maybe she’s just blowing smoke and showing off, but I’d sure like someone to get her under oath and ask her what specifically she meant by “Stage is being set. Players are being put in place.” I don’t blame the Dem congresswomen from feeling unsafe in the Capitol.
