Sounds like your classic pump and dump scheme. I remember an article from a few years ago, pointint out that making Bitcoin go up or down 40-50% was a damn sight more difficult than making a random, penny cryptocoin do the same thing.

There is a really great youtuber called Coffeezilla that looks into some of the bigger pump and dumps. The amount of money involved in them can get pretty scary, esp if you include Tether, which currently has a market cap of around 66 billion but could very well simply be a scam getting ready to exit.

MTG has pretty bad sun damage, from the picture accompanying the article, and there’s not a bit of white in her sclera. This is not a healthy woman in mind or body.

Speaking of crypto scams, State Senator Wendy Rogers would like them to relocate to AZ, since states like NY try to shut them down.
Er.

She is going against the advice of his Lardship Trump, who commanded Republicans to stay away from the 2022 elections to teach them a lesson.

The ever-klassy EmptyG: (what accounts for her foul temper? Steroids? )
Drama on the House floor developed when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Reps. Jamie Raskin and Liz Cheney as the House was voting on the criminal contempt resolution against Steve Bannon.
The conversation with Greene devolved to "Jewish space lasers" and the Georgia Republican accusing Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, of not investigating the violence of Black Lives Matter protests.
"This is a joke," Greene said in a raised voice to Raskin and Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, engaging in an altercation with the pair in the middle of the House floor.
Then Greene walked closer and said directly to Raskin, "Why don't you care about the American people?"

That will make much more impact when she actually PAYS the fine.
From what I understand, the fine is automatically deducted from the paycheck. No opportunity not to pay.
In that case.....

Yep, and it's the same for anyone skipping the metal detector as well...

Yes, the fines come directly out of their pay, no option not to pay up. Greene is a repeat offender, that's why it is so high. She and a couple other wingnuts filed a lawsuit after the first $500 fine they received stating that the House mask mandate was unconstitutional back a few months ago, not sure where that went. Probably nowhere I would imagine.
Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
I can't imagine her actually talking to a Democrat so if I were to give the benefit of the doubt that she is not just making shit up (which is the easiest and most plausible explanation), then she either talked to a few people who claimed they were democrats but are not, or she found something on the internet which was unsourced and completely bs.
My first guess is, of course, she's making shit up.
