Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'MUGA' Tactic Backfires
Newsweek ^ | Aila Slisco

Posted on 05/03/2024 4:26:47 AM PDT by joesbucks

GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to shame the so-called "uniparty" of pro-Ukraine Republicans and Democrats has backfired.

During a Wednesday press conference on her plan to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson from leadership over the passage of $61 billion in Ukraine aid, Greene displayed a blue and yellow "MUGA" ("Make Ukraine Great Again") hat, a reference to the MAGA slogan often associated with former President Donald Trump.

“It is pretty common knowledge”

Sources????

My sources say:

What country in Europe has the most sex trafficking?
Sex trafficking in Europe - Wikipedia
Germany has become a “center for the sexual exploitation of young women from Eastern Europe, as well as a sphere of activity for organized crime groups from around the world”. The selling of young women into sexual slavery has become one of the fastest-growing criminal enterprises in the European Union.

Why do so many Politicians want to support The Ukraine?
____________________
There is everything untoward with respect to Ukraine. It is the West’s money laundering piggy bank. We had bio-labs in Ukraine engineering the use of deadly bio-weapons, contrary to international treaty bans. It’s my view the bio-weapons were for use against Russia and migratory birds were to be the preferred vectors. Child slave smuggling, prostitute peddling, banned elections, and banned religious practices are just a few of the grotesque Zelensky totalitarian practices being played out while the West doesn’t bat an eye. It’s all in the name of ‘conquering’ Putin. To those like Victoria Nuland, Ukraine is like the foil, the perpetual ‘defeat’ Putin at all costs because Putin refuses to conform and bend a knee to the Left’s Globalist agenda. They still do not accept that the day of U.S. hegemony is over. The Left’s and the West’s mental derangement toward Putin strikes me as similar to the irrational, unstable state of mind that exists toward Trump. Both are traditional nationalists who support their country’s traditional cultural values. One doesn’t have to agree with Putin’s totalitarian views to respect his traditional nationalist values. Both Putin’s and Trump’s strong nationalist views run contra to the West’s woke agenda and Marxist efforts to rewrite history by erasing local culture. Both men are unwilling to bend a knee and conform to the West’s widespread spiraling out of control depravity. With the D.C. gulag in place, rigged elections, and Obozo’s past practice of suspending due process to assassinate Americans overseas, we no longer can confidently command the righteous high ground. Most will remember how the old Soviet Union was once the Left’s Communist darling until Putin came along and now all one hears from the Left is Russia, Russia, Russia - that it’s suddenly become the boogyman and the Devil personified. It’s interesting how the Left can do switcheroos and no one seems to notice.

Even if weak, having Republican led committees in the House is extremely important. If Republicans had taken the house in 2020, there would’ve been no J6 unofficial but extremely harmful committee.

Democrats should never be trusted to do anything they promise. I agree completely with your… Please don’t throw me in the Briarpatch….. analogy

To learn from Redd Foxx, the answer is no, just the money.

Because, once one has the money, one has all the other stuff too.

Wickopedia is not research. I researched it when Hunter was getting bribes from Burisma which was a money laundry.

We will see. It will tell us a lot when the push is made. I heard a rumor that MTG is acting at the behest of McCarthy. I find that hard to believe.

You forgot one important piece of information. Not only do you have to have firm control (which is unlikely as some areas will only elect a moderate repub or dem) but you must be in control of both houses and the WH.

First, we don’t know how they would spend their money. For those motivated, they now have a reason.

Here’s your problem with Johnson. There are enough repubs/conservatives in his district that still support him and his positions. My guess is he beats back any challenger. And if he doesn’t and the person who defeats him is too far right, it may be a lost district. We’ve seen a lot of that. Remember that 2022 Red Wave?

“”””Ukraine is more corrupt than Haiti but you don’t see any money going to help the Haitians.”””””

Haiti is far more corrupt, it ranks at 172 with a score of 17, Russia ranks at 141 with a score of 26, and Ukraine ranks at 104 with a score of 36.

I don't buy it. He's not from a swing district. His district is very conservative.

Actually Ukraine is a tier 2 country in human trafficking and Russia is a tier 3, tier one is the cleanest, tier 3 the worst.

Today it is only due to the war. It used to be the capitol of Europe before the war.

”It was very thoughtful of Marjorie Taylor Greene to help us find another way to support Ukraine!" the group added in a post replying to former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger saying that he wants the hat. "MUGA hats available now."

Sounds like the stupid zeepers. I wonder what their FR handles are? 😁

I think a lot of them have money invested in that corrupt country.

Exactly. It’s why they get so angry, emotional and nasty at those of us who are against our tax dollars going there unaudited.

I’ve even heard that the fast one who claims to be in Texas and his fishy friend here on FR are making money hand over fist off of the Biden-Ukraine connection.

No, it isn’t the war.

In 2010 both Ukraine and Russia were tier 2 countries in human trafficking, but Russia has slipped down to being a tier 3 country in Human trafficking and 6th worse in the world.

I am a sinner. I have Grace and Redemption. The corrupt people on either side of this conflict seem to ignore their faults and limitations. I am not judging them, they pretend to tell us what we need to hear to present themselves as blameless. . I just choose not to give them money.

And no, it’s not fun listening to acolytes from either side. Certainly not fun to hear of civilians’ deaths and destruction.

” What they can do however is force the Democrats to save him.....to show their hand from behind the curtain holding Johnson’s puppet strings.”

Actually, the great majority of House Republicans will save Johnson as they will stand by him as Trump has done.

“If you want a comprehensive chronology of how we got into this mess, check out my link in post #13. You need to get better informed instead of relying on the Biden propaganda machine.”

1. LOL USAID is a U.S. government agency, and part of the Biden “propoganda machine”.

2. The report on Ukraine is a specific report on Ukraine and does not, by omission, dismiss all the other Eastern European countries, as well as the Russian Federation, with human trafficking issues, and most going back to the end of the Soviet Union; nor that Germany seems to be the “hub” destination for so much of it.

Next time you want avoid propoganda try to avoid a U.S. government site.
