April 7, 2023: We Got This Covered: Marjorie Taylor Greene insists that she’s not the only ‘mentally unstable and documented liar’ out there
There’s a common expression dating back to Hebrew times that goes, “whoever disapproves – he disapproves of his own lacking.” It basically means you can spot deficiencies in other people, because yours are the same. A more common parallel expression is “You spot it, you got it.” This happened with professional liar Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer, an anti-Muslim activist who was reportedly being courted by Donald Trump.

Apr 7, 2023: Raw Story: ‘Intense blowback’ knocks far-right Laura Loomer from role in Trump campaign: NYT's Haberman
After The Times reported Trump was likely to hire Loomer, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), whose influence appears to be growing within the GOP, blasted Loomer.
“Laura Loomer is mentally unstable and a documented liar,” Greene tweeted.
“She can not be trusted. She spent months lying about me and attacking me just because I supported Kevin McCarthy for Speaker and after I had refused to endorse her last election cycle.”

For the most devoted Trump conspiracy theorists, there are no coincidences and timing is everything.
So when ex-President Donald Trump was arraigned Tuesday on charges that he falsified business records to obscure hush money payments in an effort to influence the 2016 election, some of his most ardent followers quickly noted the court appearance came during Christianity's most sacred week, Holy Week, when many Christians commemorate Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.
''Seems there was someone else who was tortured and crucified this week,'' read one post on Gab, a platform popular with Trump supporters. A similar post on Telegram put Trump's case in apocalyptic terms: ''Good vs Evil. Biblical times. Divine timing.''
Comparisons likening Trump to Christ were among the top online narratives about the Republican former president and his criminal charges circulating in the last several days, according to an analysis of online and social media content conducted by Zignal Labs, a media intelligence firm, on behalf of The Associated Press.
Zignal's analysis found tens of thousands of mentions calling Trump a martyr. The number more than doubled immediately after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., linked the prosecution of Trump to the persecution of Christ during an interview.

Mar 31, 2023: Politico: ‘Unlawful political interference’: Bragg defends Trump indictment against GOP attacks
The indictment, which remains under seal, prompted a torrent of attacks from Trump’s allies, many of whom denounced it as a political witch hunt. While Trump himself has called for protests in the streets — and on Friday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) echoed that call — most House Republicans have instead vowed to train a microscope on the Democratic district attorney, requesting information and documents about the probe.

Feb 14, 2023: Roll Call: The unchangeable Marjorie Taylor Greene
There are three groups with infinite faith in the capacity of people to change their behavior in midlife: shrinks, advice columnists and political reporters.
During the House speaker's race, GOP incendiaries such as Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz refused to vote for Kevin McCarthy on all 15 ballots. In contrast, Marjorie Taylor Greene shrewdly allied herself early with McCarthy, lobbying to the end to win over her fellow Republican firebrands

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): "You permanently banned my personal Twitter account and it was my campaign account, too...You abused the power of a large corporation, big tech, to censor Americans...I'm so glad you've lost your jobs. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter."
Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene presided over the US House of Representative on February 6.
This is Trump's legacy.
This picture should be framed and titled "A rioter from Jan. 6th who never left."
Feb 7, 2023: Yahoo News: Republican response to Biden State of the Union speech speeds decline of civility in politics
Interrupted multiple times by jeering, boos and accusations of lying by GOP members, Biden gamely endured the taunts, at times seeming to revel in the prospect of egging on his political opponents, calling them out over threats to refuse to raise the debt ceiling and other contentious issues.
That led to an outburst by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who called the president “a liar.”

Jan 9, 2023; ArcaMax: Marjorie Taylor Greene channeling Dr. Dre for social media clout? Not on his watch
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene might be a fan of Dr. Dre‘s music, but the Grammy-winning rapper has no love for the Georgia Republican using his hits for attention on social media.

Gas-stoveghazi is a another right wing issue for them to manufacture rage about. No one is out to take anyones gas stoves. Same with Hillarys email-ghazi and Hunter Bidens Laptop-ghazi....not to forget the original Benghazi-ghazi. There's no there there on any of these right-wing rage points. The only intellectual way to pursue it is to not pursue it.
But we now have a benchmark rule: If Boebert, Gaetz, MJ Greene, Tuckkker Carlson or Ted Cruz are on the rage manufacturing trail...then you know whatever the issue it is more than likely not a real issue.
