How the 'MAGA Squad' Is Building Power to Control the Next Congress
Time ^ | June 4, 2022 | Molly Ball

On a Tuesday afternoon in late April, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene walks into the seventh-floor congressional office belonging to Representative Matt Gaetz, settles into a high-backed black leather chair, and fits a pair of headphones over her blonde hair. The taping is about to begin for the 38th episode of Gaetz’s “Firebrand” podcast, and Greene is the high-wattage guest star.

Greene has come straight from Dulles Airport, so Gaetz takes a minute to catch her up on today’s topics before the recording starts. There is much to discuss: the latest Anthony Fauci-related controversy; Greene’s trip to the U.S.-Mexico border; the five hours Greene recently spent testifying before a Georgia administrative judge that she should not be deemed an insurrectionist and tossed off the congressional ballot. “And then, of course, I’m going to go into our favorite subject,” Gaetz tells his colleague. “How the Republican Party is being led, and how it should be led.”

“Oh boy,” Greene chuckles. “I just got here from the airport! And Matt’s like, let’s start ’er off, and let’s torch the news cycle.”

Torching the news cycle is what Gaetz and Greene love to do. They are constantly in the headlines for their attention-getting antics, outrages and feuds. The pair have defended the Jan. 6 rioters, promoted countless conspiracy theories, hobnobbed with white nationalists and picked fights with colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Their own Republican colleagues have called them “unserious,” clowns, bigots, and worse. The humorist Dave Barry called them “Trump’s inner circle of trusted wack jobs.”

The MAGA Squad: They’re here. They’re weird. And pretty soon, they may be in control of the GOP Congress—if they aren’t already.

2016 - The birth of MAGA

2022 - The rise of Ultra MAGA.

2024 – The return of the MAGA King

They know its coming and they know they can’t stop it.

a Congress which is pro-American?

The pinkos at Time must be unhappy with that possibility.

Dave Barry said that? That’s very sad. I used to enjoy his work.

He wrote an article called “The difference between men and women” that is a classic (and funny as all heck)

Molly Ball...IIRC the shill and liar who wrote the piece for Time bragging about the stolen election. I believe she called it “fortifying”.

It is unusual to see TIME and Newsweak now infrequently hosting a pro-President Trump piece, mainly because they are both on the edge of extinction and have wisely found some freedom in taking a chance on the truth.

Let me tell you something that may seem unrelated but its not.

LIV Golf got off to a great start last weekend, and the PGA is now officially scared shitless, because the USGA did not ban the new LIV Tour professionals from the US Open this week - which means The Open and the Masters are likely to maintain their openness to LIV, which gives the PGA no place to hide.

But the untold story of LIV Golf is this - when the PGA stole their Championship last year from Trump Bedminster because of J6, Trump gave Greg Norman carte blanche per the use of any of his championship courses, and Norman immediately teed it up:

Yep, President Trump will be front-and-center hosting LIV Golf's inaugural season Championships -- $50 MILLION on the line -- a week and a day before the mid-term elections. You can't buy those kind of positive optix, handing out trophies while standing alongside Mickelson, The Mad Scientist, DJ, and Sergio.

Someone is back to recording conversations.
Far too detailed for just a casual “I heard....”

They know it's coming and they know they can’t stop it.

But they can stop it. The same way they stole 2020. As long as there are RINO-controlled state legislatures, they will turn a blind eye to Democrat cheating if a MAGA candidate is running.

RINOs would rather a Democrat win than to have 'their' party taken over by MAGA.

We've got to vote out RINOs in the state legislatures and replace them with MAGA people. THis is every bit as important as taking over Congress.

Make sure to watch the PA governor election in November. Mastriano is MAGA and is hell bent on getting to the bottom of the 2020 election fraud. His own party, led by Jake the Snake Corman, shut down his attempt to investigate it in the legislature. I'm praying for Mastriano, but I fear that the Uniparty will cheat him like they cheated Trump.

It's their new playbook: Democrat will cheat, and RINOs will allow it if it means stopping MAGA.

Trump National Golf - Bedminster will host LIV Golf July 29-31, 2022.

Trump National Golf - Doral Miami will host the season-ending LIV Golf Team Championship from October 27-30, 2022.

I don't follow golf but that is interesting and good to know. Maybe now I'll get interested and watch. Thanks for posting.

You are correct. The article was well-written.

She also used the term, “saving the election.”

Molly Ball so much as admitted the rats stole the election.

Her article served to spike the football and rub our noses in their electoral sh!t.

Pray that MAGA succeeds.

The rats really hate the man who vowed to Make America Great and Clean Up Washington The reason is obvious.

I don’t question her writing skills at all, just everything else.

Good you have it, lest we forget.
