Marjorie Taylor Greene decries comparisons of Republicans to Nazis and Trump to Hitler
Greene, moments later: "You know Nazis were the National Socialist Party. Just like the Democrats are now a national socialist party."
And the "elite" Iraqi troops were the Republican Guard, so the Republican Party obviously supported Saddam.

I think you might be on to something. The Ancient Greek phrase "molon labe" or μολων λαβε roughly translates to "come and take (them)." Wikipedia states that Molon labe (Ancient Greek: μολὼν λαβέ, romanized: molṑn labé), meaning 'come and take [them]', is a classical expression of defiance. It is among the Laconic phrases reported by Plutarch, attributed to King Leonidas I of Sparta in reply to the demand by Xerxes I that the Spartans surrender their weapons.

Apparently the use of the phrase has some historical antecedents in the US. It was used during the Revolutionary War in 1778 at Fort Morris in Georgia, and during the Texas War of Independence later in 1835 at the Battle of Gonzales.

Militia organizations used the phrase in the 1990s and early 2000s (Scott Barry, "A Series of Documents" (2003)Link to Page). It was also apparently used as a motto by the Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT), which has its headquarters in Tampa, FL, during the Afghanistan campaign.

Wikipedia notes that the original Greek phrase and its English translation are often heard as a defense of the right to keep and bear arms and opposition to gun control legislation, citing an Esquire article from November 14, 2014 by Robert Bateman, The NRA Molon Labe Redux. Link to Esquire article

It would make little sense for this phrase to be on an actual CBP challenge coin (who would the CPB be taunting?). Given its use by militia and gun rights groups as an expression of defiance, I would bet dollars to doughnuts it's a fake. MTG may well know this and is using it to signal support for militia groups. If she gets called on it, she will defend the use of the phrase by pointing to its use in Georgia during the Revolutionary War.

Not really any "legitimacy" to challenge. She does't say it was officially from the CBP, just that a member had sent it to her. Anybody can have a challenge coin made and give it to anyone they want to. NASCAR gives them out, Boy Scouts, the Utah Symphony, motorcycle gangs, and MST2000. I got one as one of the rewards for supporting a glassblowers gofundme project a while back.

No proof that it was a legit border patrol agent either (though I would not be surprised). It could be somebody from one of those border militias.

MTG comes out in favor of tax cheats. I guess if the former guy can do it, everyone should get a crack at it...
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
@RepMTG
7m
Joe Biden wants to hire 87,000 IRS agents to squeeze more money out of every day Americans.

I don't think so!

We must stop him!
I saw a figure the other day, it said that for every dollar invested in the IRS, six dollars are returned from tax cheat enforcement. Biden admin is claiming they can get $8.75.

Oh yeah, and the money is to increase audits for people making over $400k/yr. "Every day Americans" don't make over $400k/yr, MTG.

Speaking of MTG and money... Anyone remember McCain-Feingold? Anyone? Bueller?
FEC complaint accuses Marjorie Taylor Greene of violating election law

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) may have violated campaign finance law by soliciting “soft-money” donations to Stop Socialism NOW, a super PAC, in a video ad.
:snippity:
Though Greene does not explicitly call on viewers to contribute money to the super PAC in her appearance, she says: “It’s time to fight back now, before it’s too late.” Seconds later, a voiceover asks viewers to “make a contribution today to Stop Socialism NOW PAC.” According to the complaint filed by Common Cause, this context makes Greene’s participation in the ad an “implicit” solicitation in violation of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also referred to as the McCain-Feingold Act.

Soft money refers to political spending by outside groups, like super PACs, which are not restricted by contribution limits. Greene’s appearance in the video represents an unprecedented violation of laws governing soft money, according to Common Cause Vice President for Policy and Litigation Paul Ryan, who authored the complaint.

“I consider this video by Rep. Greene to be groundbreaking,” Ryan told OpenSecrets. “It’s the first time I’ve seen a short, one minute, TV-style ad paid for by a super PAC featuring a solicitation of contributions to the super PAC. That’s new in campaign finance practice as far as I can tell.”

Federal law stipulates that candidates cannot solicit contributions from individuals larger than $5,000 on behalf of super PACs. Because individuals can contribute unlimited sums to super PACs, any candidate or lawmaker who solicits contributions to such a group without specifying that their solicitation pertains only to sums below the legal contribution limit has broken the law.

Even though Ryan said that “we’ve seen an unfortunate erosion of McCain-Feingold over the past several years,” he thinks Greene’s ad cameo constitutes a clear and unprecedented violation of the law.

“This is not a tough call. This is not a close call. A commissioner would have to bend over backwards to articulate a way to excuse this,” he said.
:snippity:
The FEC has been notoriously ineffective at enforcing violations of campaign law in recent years, deadlocking along partisan lines more often than not. According to a strict interpretation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, super PACs are not intended to coordinate with candidates. However, the FEC has not punished candidates for working closely with super PACs since the ruling.

Still, Ryan is confident that the complaint will win over the four votes necessary for the FEC to pursue the allegations further. If they don’t, Ryan thinks the decision could set a dangerous precedent for soft-money spending in future elections.

“In my view, there is no reasonable interpretation of this ad other than as a solicitation by Rep. Greene for unlimited contributions. It’s a fundraising ad,” Ryan said. “And if this type of ad is permissible, the McCain-Feingold solicitation ban is gutted. That’s what’s at stake here.”

What were you saying about the rule of law? Law and order? Just ignore the ones you don't like, everyone does it.

No, we bought it so we can have it all for ourselves. But we are willing to share with LGBTG, commies, pinkos, socialists, etc. and even Joe Manchin -- not sure about Sinema.

We like the job she’s doing’: Georgia GOP rallies around MTG
At the state party convention, support for controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ran deep among grassroots activists.

By MAYA KING and DAVID SIDERS

06/06/2021 11:39 AM EDT

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been stripped of her House committee assignments and rebuked by GOP leaders for recent comments comparing vaccine and mask requirements to the Holocaust. A Democratic congressman has introduced a resolution to expel her from Congress.

But at the Georgia Republican Party convention this weekend, it was hard to find many critics of the lightning rod congresswoman.

“It’s like saying it’s ‘hot as hell,’” Debbie Dooley, a founder of the Tea Party movement in Atlanta, said of Greene’s Holocaust comparison. Dooley was among a group of attendees wearing large “We Love Marjorie” pins on Saturday with her face in the middle of them.

I think it say a lot that most of the praise people have for her does not seem to involve her actually doing her job. They like the drama and the aesthetic, but don't seem to care about her actually accomplishing anything as long as, well, she pwning the libs.

:yeahthat:

You've just nailed one of the most frustrating characteristics of Life on Earth 2. The thinking of these idiots is so shallow that a flea would break its neck jumping in.

What does, "It's like saying hot as hell" have to do with anything? I know she's trying to excuse MargieQ's antisemitism and ignorance, but it's the wrong type of excuse.

I mean, if MargieQ had said, "Wearing a fucking mask is exactly like wearing a fucking Star of David" then she would at least have a start.

Bottom line, MargieQ's fans have no concept of history, social science, or right and wrong. It's all about the team--the team full of I's.
