Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene: My thoughts on bombing Iran ("I'm sick of it", "Enough is enough")

@RepMTG

My thoughts on bombing Iran.

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.

Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact.

However America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel’s sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels international terrorists networks.

Neocon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses going to war in countries most Americans have never seen and can’t find on a map, but never find the courage to go to war against the actual terrorists who actually do kill Americans, invade our land, and make BILLIONS doing it day after day, year after year.

I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX.

I’ve watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember. I was in 10th grade when Desert Storm started and my father before me was sent to Vietnam, another senseless foreign war.

America is $37 TRILLION in debt and all of these foreign wars have cost Americans TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that never benefited any American.

American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits.

I’m sick of it.

I can easily say I support nuclear armed Israel’s right to defend themselves and also say at the same time I don’t want to fight or fund nuclear armed Israel’s wars.

Nor any other country for that matter.

I’m sick of funding foreign aid and foreign countries and foreign everything.

I want to fund American interests and issues.

I want GREAT trade deals so American businesses and people can afford goods and be successful.

I want low inflation and low interest rates.

I want American construction, housing, and manufacturing to BOOM.

I want Americans to be rich and have security in their future.

I want my children’s generation to HAVE A GREAT FUTURE!!!

My kids are 22, 25, and 27.

It pisses me off beyond comprehension that my children’s generation can’t afford to buy a house, can’t afford insurance, and have little hope for their future!!!

Americans are exhausted by all of this and rightfully so.

I can also support President Trump and his great administration on many of the great things they are doing while disagreeing on bombing Iran and getting involved in a hot war that Israel started.

That’s not disloyalty. Critical thinking and having my own opinions is the most American thing ever.

Because contrary to what brainwashed Democrat boomers say, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and President Trump has surrounded himself with people who once disagreed with him and even ran against him for President.

Also the same Democrats in Congress that are all of sudden clutching their pearls about Trump bombing Iran FULLY SUPPORTED AND VOTED TO FUND Dementia ridden Biden’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and stood by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Hypocrites is all they are and they are just desperately trying to find solid ground to oppose Trump on because so far they’ve failed at grasping anything yet.

Now what has been done is done and Americans now fear Iranian terrorists attacks on our own soil and being dragged into another war by Netanyahu when we weren’t even thinking about any of this a week ago.

We don’t know what the future holds and I pray for the safety of all people and an end to the constant demand for America to go to war.

Enough is enough.

Then it’s willful ignorance. She has a record of over a thousand years of history she could pour through if she wasn’t so busy trying to stay in the spotlight.

[Right_in_Virginia]

He was referring to the USA not doing the nation building. He WANTS nation building, which would be regime change, BY THE IRANIAN CITIZENS. What dumbass would NOT want regime change from the existing regime?

What dumbass doesn't know the citizens can't do this alone? What dumbass can't figure out we will supply the help, including help with the likely civil war, and we waste our blood and treasure for another decade or two -- AGAIN?

No more nation building.

So you personally know EVERYONE from an entire generation??

[Mr Rogers]

She’s a nutjob. Narcissistic nut job. Always has been.

You keep pushing the “Who cares if Iran gets nukes?” narrative. You have huge problems too!

[rrrod]

She’s nuts

[Vaduz]

So Marjorie Taylor-Greene idea is all we have to do is just talk to them don’t make the nuclear bomb and fire it at us huh.

Pacifist people are dangerous to everyone

[LuxAerterna]

One nuclear explosion in Atlanta could change her mind. By then it would be too late.

MTG needs to straighten up. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

[Mr Rogers]

“I was already vindicated after the Iraq debacle in the mid-2000s.”

No. You were not.

What we did in Iraq WORKED. Not 100%. But Iraq is no longer pushing terrorism. It has worked with Israel and the US to stabilize instead of disrupt. The many years I SPENT FLYING OVER IRAQ and my kids tours there were not wasted.

Have you seen the mass protests of “The Arab Street”? The millions screaming “Death to America” for what Trump just did?

NO! IT ISN’T HAPPENING! EVEN THE ARABS ARE ON OUR SIDE NOW!

And you think stopping Iran from getting nukes - and yes, they were enriching uranium FAR beyond what is used for any peaceful program - is a GOOD THING.

Thank God Donald Trump is President! Kamalala is on your side - think about it!

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran

MTG is such a f-ing retard.

I guess she's never heard of the 241 Marines Iran murdered in 1983, or the 647 U.S. servicemembers killed by their IEDs in Iraq.

Someone please primary this stupid bitch and let her become a CrossFit coach, or something else appropriate for her low intelligence.

I have mentioned previously how my wife and I met her in 2022 at a dinner and tried to converse with her, and were stunned by her low-IQ, immaturity and emotional manner. She is one of so many idiots we have brought into the MAGA movement, just because they said the right things at the right time (Gaetz and Posobeic also come to mind).

[FoxInSocks]

That’s along the lines of what I’m thinking.

Also, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Presumably, reversing biden policies and dramatically decreasing the flood of cartel traffic and product across the border is one basic step Trump has taken. So he is addressing her concern of drugs coming over the border.

[Ancesthntr]

“I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran,...”
No, I didn’t personally know any of the 241 Marines who were killed in the Iranian attack in Lebanon, but they still matter. As do the thousands killed and wounded by Iranian IEDs in Iraq.

And the list goes on.

I’ve always liked MJT, but also understand she isn’t among our “best and brightest”.
—————————
This bears repeating.

Iran has, indeed, repeatedly attacked the U.S. and killed/murdered many Americans. How could she so casually dismiss that - ESPECIALLY when she’s got the entire Congressional Research Service to gather and summarize information for her - before she impulsively spouts off and makes a fool of herself, AND gives succor to our enemies (foreign and) by projecting disunity.

I have a great deal of admiration for MTG most of the time, but when she misses the mark, she misses it by miles. She is acting exactly like the isolationists before World War II, having seemingly failed to learn any lessons about appeasing avowed enemies (or just leaving them alone to bring their plans to fruition) from the entire World War II experience. What does she think that we are supposed to do regarding a theocratic gangster regime that has killed or murdered thousands of Americans over the last 46 years, which constantly threatens “Death to America!,” is attempting to develop atomic weapons and is engaged in a long-term program to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of hitting not merely our allies and bases in Europe, but the United States itself? It is all fine and well to stay out of foreign conflicts, and it would be a much better world if this country could remain unaffected by the mental illness that affects much of the rest of the world, but our history shows that when America is isolationist, world wars result - and we get dragged in anyway at very great cost in blood and treasure. When America was isolationist, there were two world wars within a generation, but since we’ve been more involved in world affairs, there hasn’t been a single one in three generations. Maybe MTG could connect the dots? Maybe, MTG could also express her reservations in private, rather than making a public spectacle of her failure to back the President of the United States who, after all, is privy to a LOT more information than she has access to?

Again, I normally back her and like her positions on most issues, but in this particular case, she is a blithering idiot.

[Ancesthntr]

“But, why is POTUS talking about regime change -— also known as nation building, the quagmire that trapped us in Iraq and Afghanistan for decades?”
—————
Maybe because the theocratic gangsters in charge of Iran are utterly unrepentant, and are threatening to rebuild their nuclear program by the very fact that they are refusing to agree not to enrich uranium in the future?

It is all fine and well to have certain well-thought-out principles, but the simple fact is that no plan survives contact with the enemy. In this case, Iran has been openly calling the United States It’s principal enemy (we’re the Big Satan, remember?) for the last 46 years, as well as acting upon it in every way that it has been able to do so, and now they are not only attempting to build an arsenal of atomic weapons, they are also putting significant effort into building intercontinental ballistic missiles. We would have to be absolutely and unalterably stupid if we did not take that threat seriously, and act to eliminate it.

Shes just a little older than the oldest National emergency this nation has..

Maybe before her dirt nap, the oldest National emergency will finally get to be wiped off the ledger thanks to some dude in politics for 10 years.

[FlingWingFlyer]

How many GoFundMe pages have been started by the Jew Haters for the ayatollahs?

[navymom1]

I saw this post and red flags went up. Thanks for pointing it out.

also known as nation building?

He has talked about the Iranians doing their own regime change, but you are biting in hard with with the media is telling you............................

[bobbo666]

Take your blinkers off. Iran funds every terrorist org in the world. Including cartels.
Plus, Iran signed the Nuclear Non_proliferation act — and until now no Pres has insisted on compliance. ‘Bout time.

[delchiante]

We had regime change in 2017...

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama was the same regime..

We didn’t know that till Trump ran and started to out the R team as the same scum as the D team.
