And the "elite" Iraqi troops were the Republican Guard, so the Republican Party obviously supported Saddam.
We can’t let this gun grabber [David Chipman] get what he wants.
In fact, I encourage Americans to buy as many [guns] as you can.
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.
Please, you act as if Tinfoil Greene has any knowledge of history...
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.
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.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

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!
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/0 ... ectionlaw/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.
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.
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.”

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.

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.
