Marine held captive in Russia condemns 'embarrassing' stunt by Marjorie Taylor Greene

On The Lead With Jake Tapper, Monday, a portion of Tapper’s interview with Trevor Reed and his family aired, in which, they voiced displeasure with the actions of Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Reed is the former Marine who returned to the U.S. following a prisoner swap with Russia last month after spending 985 days in a Russian prison on bogus charges. Legislation pushing for Reed’s release was delayed last year due to Greene and other House Republicans.
“I’m gonna go to every single one of their campaigns and thank them personally about that,” Reed said. “Thank them for hurting your ability to get out of prison?” Tapper asked. “Yeah,” Reed said, “thank them for voting against a bill that was only about getting American political prisoners out of Russia. How do you justify that?”
Reed went on to speculate that Russians were pleased with the actions of Greene and the others.
“That’s embarrassing to me that anyone who represents the United States would vote against something like that,” Reed said. “I’m sure that the Russians love that. I’m sure that they’re all big fans of all of those congressmen.”
Reed is now advocating for the release of other Americans held in Russia, including Paul Whelan, the Marine veteran who has spent over 40 months in a Russian prison on alleged espionage charges. Reed promised retribution for anyone in Congress who delays the release of other American prisoners as Greene did.
“I better not ever see that happen again to any other Americans,” Reed said, “because I promise that I will be at every single campaign that that person runs for the rest of their life to tell everyone that they did that.”
This is how we're going to have to rid ourselves of Trumpism. In their face shouting them down when they are out spreading their lies and hate. Shine a light on the evil they do and let the voters see them for who they really are.
The laws in Florida? You mean like interfering in the rights of business and The Special Olympics from setting their own requirements and guidelines and handing out punitive punishments to them fthey don't comply? Hell Disney didn't even break any laws. All they did was say something DeSantis didn't like and he punished them. You know, it's that cancel culture BS you keep accusing the left of.
You see, people with severe illnesses and disabilities are often times immune compromised. Their resistance to Covid is far less than the rest of us and often have much more severe cases of it. God help us if someone tries to help protect them. The pro lifers would never allow that.

What kind of punishments? Punitive punishments? Yeah, those are the worst kind, eh?
I won't even try to unpack everything that is wrong with your paragraph, but lets start here... Nobody is saying they can't be vaccinated! Why is there always some rush to shame and virtue signal whenever anyone mentions vaccination. Did DeSantis say they are not allowed to be vaccinated??? Seems like they can all make their own choices about vaccination and risk factors without excluding anyone. NOT THAT VACCINATION WILL PREVENT ANY ILLNESS ANYWAY.
And yes, if the law of the land is nobody can be denied participation or employment because of vaccination status then you have a simple choice... And there is a whole wide world to choose from if you don't like Florida.
Go ahead and explain how DeSantis "punished" Disney... this will be fun. Disney punished Disney as they are a California company stupid enough to think they are going to tell a Florida governor how to run his state. Now they've lost their special privilege that has them allowed them to basically self-govern any way they see fit for over 50 years.
Don't you usually speak out against corporate privilege? Or only when it goes against your narrative?
You seem to lack the understanding that many with disabilities are immune compromised. Eh, but who cares about them, right? No need to help protect the most vulnerable among us because "mah rights!"
And Disney doesn't hate gays. So there's that.

Marjorie Taylor Greene hires Milo Yiannopoulos — a 37-year-old 'ex-gay' former Breitbart editor once disinvited from CPAC for 'condoning pedophilia' — as an intern

He lost much of his following in 2017 after making favorable comments about sexual relations between boys and older men.
Now, he's been hired by a congresswoman who's accused pro-LGBTQ Democrats of being "groomers."
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has hired Milo Yiannopoulos, a 37-year-old former Breitbart editor and "alt-right" activist, as an intern in her official Washington, DC office.
"Mummy always said I'd end up in government!" Yiannopoulos wrote on his Telegram account on Monday.
Greene confirmed the hiring to Insider in a defensive statement that included a transphobic remark about Democratic Rep. Marie Newman of Illinois' trans daughter.
"So I have an intern that was raped by a priest as a young teen, was gay, has offended everyone at some point, turned his life back to Jesus and Church, and changed his life," she said. "Great story!"
"I've finally been persuaded out of retirement. But my skills are a bit rusty, so the best role I could land was an unpaid internship with a friend," Yiannopoulos also wrote on Telegram. "Pray for me!"
The hiring, first reported by Right Wing Watch, marks something of a career change for the one-time online provocateur, who saw his following crater after controversial comments about sexual relationships between younger and older men surfaced in 2017.
"I think particularly in the gay world, and outside the Catholic Church — if that's where some of you want to go with this — I think in the gay world some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life-affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men," he said in a 2016 podcast. "They can be hugely positive experiences."
Those comments and others surfaced by the conservative "Reagan Battalion" Twitter account led to Yiannopoulos being disinvited from the Conservative Political Action Conference that year for "condoning pedophilia."
He also lost a book deal and resigned from Breitbart shortly thereafter. He had been hired at Breitbart by then-executive chairman Steve Bannon in 2014.
Yiannopoulos, who identified at the time as gay, now calls himself "ex-gay" and claimed last year to be building a conversion therapy clinic in Florida.
"I treat it like an addiction," Yiannopoulos told LifeSiteNews of his prior sexuality. "You never stop being an alcoholic."
He also said his husband — who he described merely as "the guy I live with" — had "been demoted to housemate."
Yiannopoulos has also made a slew of other provocative comments, including describing both Islam and feminism as "cancers."
Last year, he joined the right-wing Catholic website Church Militant as a regular contributor, where his biography page describes him as a "reformed sodomite."
It is unclear exactly when Yiannopoulos was hired as an intern for the far-right congresswoman, though he was present at her April 28 press conference in which she discussed Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, a bill to reform Section 230, and called for the reinstatement of her Twitter account.
The staff ID posted on his Telegram indicates that his internship will last until August 5.
Greene, for her part, has frequently accused Democrats and others favorable to LGBTQ rights as being "groomers."
She's also currently one of two members of Congress — the other being Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona — to have been stripped of her committee assignments for her own past controversies.
More recently, she's faced criticism even from her own party for speaking at a white nationalist conference in Florida.

Go no further than the headline to understand a piece of advice My Pops gave me, back when I was in high school.
"People behave just like water in nature... water always seeks its own level."
I stopped reading after the headline because I already knew that the text would only bear Dad's truth out in details that wouldn't add to my quality of life. People like these are inescapable to a certain degree- they're part of the news cycle/audible wallpaper that is daily life. Beyond that level of intrusion, I control how much of them I allow. Mostly, that valve is shut down good and tight.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene Doubles Down On Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric—Suggests Pride Month ‘Needs To End’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a loud but marginal member of the Republican Party’s conservative wing, appears to be doubling down on anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in the past week—calling for the end of Pride Month, wildly claiming that straight people will become extinct—and also claiming, with the usual dearth of evidence, that the Uvalde gunman was a “cross-dressing loner.”
Greene compared “an entire” Pride Month to the “only one day each year” that Americans honor military members who died serving the country in a tweet on Wednesday—the first day of Pride Month.
She added that “an entire” Pride Month celebrating LGBTQ identity and millions in spending from corporations and the government “needs to end.”
When asked to clarify if Greene was calling for the end of Pride Month entirely, or if she was calling for it to be shortened, Greene’s communications director, Nick Dyer, said, “Her tweet is self-explanatory,” in a statement to Forbes.
Greene baselessly claimed earlier this week that she believes straight people face extinction within 150 years during a segment on her streaming broadcast that airs on her social media accounts.
On the same broadcast, she seemed to follow the same misinformation used by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) to claim that the Uvalde shooter was transgender, using false information and photos of another person.
The attacks come in a year when a spate of legislation on gender and sex education issues in statehouses across the country have many Republicans concerned that the party has drifted into anti-LGBTQ territory.
“Probably in about four or five generations, no one will be straight anymore,” Greene said. “Everyone will be either gay or trans or nonconforming or whatever the list of 50 or 60 different options there are.” (According to a Gallup Poll conducted in February, 86.3% of Americans consider themselves to be straight, and Gallup has noted it is still unclear if generational increases are due to “a true shift in sexual orientation” or if it “reflects a greater willingness of younger people to identify as LGBT.”)
Last year, Greene cosponsored legislation that would ban U.S. embassies from flying Pride flags. (The bill stood virtually no chance of passing.) In a statement at the time, she said, “The federal government should only be flying the flag that represents ALL people, the American flag.”
Greene won her primary last week, even after a group of Georgia voters sued to have her removed from the ballot, arguing she “voluntarily aided and engaged in an insurrection” in the days between being sworn into Congress on January 3, 2021, and the January 6 attack on the Capitol—acts the group claimed was a violation of the 14th Amendment. Greene had to testify as part of the suit, though a judge ultimately recommended she should not be disqualified for being an “insurrectionist” and remain on the midterm ballot—a decision that was upheld by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R). The midterm elections will be held November 8.
She hears herself, she's just so stupid that she doesn't realize she's stupid, let alone how stupid she truly is... You can't unleash this kind of idiot with a powerful political platform for her particular brand of lunatic mouth diarrhea. No good can come from that, and she proves me right with consistent regularity.
Gays will make straights extinct. Just exactly how is that supposed to work?
I can't say I blame you for not keeping up, but I'll explain their methodology to you...
It's cause them thar teachers are recruiting them in the schools! Thar a tryin to make em' think gay is popular and cool! These damned liberal teachers are a trying to convert are kids into bein' gay damn it!
That's just one portion of it. That's why they're trying to take over school boards around the country. That's why they are trying to censor books and dictate that teachers can't even bring up any subject about being gay. Because you know, if we don't talk about it, it isn't real. Sort of like trying to censor our nation's history. We can't go around letting our kids learn the entire truth. Only the parts that make us look good and that won't make "the sinners" look like a normal part of our society.

She obviously doesn't listen to the noises that spiil out of that hole at the bottom of her face.

This math doesn't work very well...
As a single straight guy, I wish there were more gay guys. They tend to be fit and personable. Take that guy out of the competition for single women? I'm all for that.
Don't blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.
When in doubt, blame the minorities. And people actually voted for this dude in the primaries. But they’ll will swear up and down they’re not racist.
Ever notice that the more racist these clowns are, the more votes they get from conservatives?
Like seriously I’m so sick and tired of this crap. These freaking MAGA hatters and common conservatives constantly moan about us liberals not being nice and not understanding their views. But every single time ANYTHING happens in this country, they constantly talk about people who look like me as if we’re not even human. As if we’re not even Americans.
But we’re supposed to just be good boys and be docile and non threatening. Meanwhile conservatives can literally storm federal buildings and school board districts and be considered patriots. Especially white conservatives.
White conservatives can cry about this country all the time. But the moment anybody who looks like me says something about this country, we need to go back to Africa. Calling us all kinds of monkeys and apes.
Well, guess what conservatives? Monkey see, monkey do. So imma start speaking with pure disdain for white conservatives the same exact way y’all talk about me.
Don’t complain either. You absolutely earned it.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Depends. You still think Obama is a foreign born Muslim? Do you think black people are the bane to your existence?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Then it must be so. Y’all vote for racist, then you hate me. Gonna show that same energy. Trump started his campaign claiming Obama was a foreign born Muslim. That was fine with you. He said there were good people on both sides during a racist protest. You voted for him again.
Why should I love people who hate me?
For years, you always react to my reaction instead of reacting to the racism. What message do you honestly think you’ve been sending me throughout the years when you do that?
More concerned about my reaction than the comments coming from the conservative block you belong to. I’ve told you before, I don’t blame these racist politicians anymore. I blame the people that vote for them.
These dudes are out and about with their racism. You still vote Republican. These dudes are out and about with their disdain toward womens autonomy over their own body. You still vote Republican. These dudes are out and about with their conspiracies, especially toward non white people. You still vote Republican. These dudes are out and about with their hatred toward the LBGT. You still vote Republican.
Your actions say you hate me. So guess what? Monkey see, monkey do.
And by the way, you STILL haven’t reacted to the MAGA candidates comments. I can only go off what I see and don’t see. And for years, you never call them out.
What message do you think I’m receiving from you and other conservatives when you care more about my reaction to racism than the actual racist?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
“What does God say is the answer, is the solution for the homosexual in 2022, here in the New Testament, here in the book of Romans? That they are worthy of death,” preacher Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga said in a Sunday sermon.
“These people should be put to death,” Awes continued. “Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime, the abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial, they should be sentenced to death, they should be lined up against a wall and shot in the back of the head.”

I can see why Christian’s are despised by more and more of our citizens everyday. In order to be a Christian, you have to hate every non-Christian and fear the god who claims to love you.
Here’s yet another god fearing conservatives wishing to use big government to punish those who simply live differently than him. And yet they swear up and down they’re about small government.
A bunch of psychos doing the work of Satan himself. It’s hilarious that people who are a part of Satanism act more Christian like than the actual self-proclaimed Christian’s in this country.
I now instantly assume any Christian that says they are about family values are a bunch of demonic liars.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Unofficial BS, but ever so fitting.
