Today is Saturday, April 30, 2022. With the work of the January 6 Select Committee winding down before holding what-could-be considered explosive public hearings in June, it has been revealed that our dumbest representative in Congress, and we all know who that might be, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has gotten herself in pretty hot water when it was revealed that she sent text messages to Dumpf’s ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in which she recommended to her Golden Idol that the only way to “save” the United States would be for Donnie to call for “Marshall [sic] law.” The dumb ass couldn’t even spell “martial” correctly in her inflammatory text. Now voters in Georgia are seeking to bar this embarrassment from seeking reelection because not only did she support the insurrection that took place in the form of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, she most assuredly perjured herself when she testified during an administrative hearing earlier this month that she had no recollection of whether she called for martial law to be declared by former president Dumpf during his attempt to remain in office despite the wishes of the American people.
But now we have the proof that portrays her as a liar in the mold of the Orange One who couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it in that damning text that she sent to Meadows on January 17 – three days before Dumpf’s term was to expire – in which she showed the world her stupidity once more by misspelling “martial.” This extraordinary turn of events that might bring down the country’s worst legislator is covered in an online Independent article written by Andrew Feinberg entitled “Marjorie Taylor Greene: Voters challenging eligibility say texts with Mark Meadows ‘undermine her credibility.'” Heck, this woman’s credibility has been undermined the minute she opens her big, racist, dumb mouth, which is always!
Georgia voters are now on the warpath against their arrogant and incendiary representative by getting her eligibility to seek another term in office be declared invalid because of her participation in a honest-to-goodness insurrection against this government. Attorneys for these Georgia voters say that the text message “further undermines” Greene’s credibility. The lawyers wrote, “Greene’s testimony at the hearing that she could not remember discussing martial law with anyone was already dubious. This text with President Trump’s Chief of Staff makes her testimony even more incredible because it seems like the kind of message with the kind of recipient that a reasonable person testifying truthfully would remember.” In other words, Greene just lied to hide the fact that she wrote those words to Mr. Meadows in her text.
The attorneys further state that Greene was “still fighting against the peaceful transfer of power by advocating extralegal means” 11 days after the siege on the Capitol. The text, as you recall, was written on January 17. The lawyers say that Greene would go to any length to help Dumpf stay in power, even though he lost the election.
Greene’s own lawyer, James Bopp Jr., as expected, fought back against this incriminating evidence against his client by saying that the alleged text message was inadmissible as evidence because it was laid out in a CNN article and did not include copies of the message in question. As a result, Bopp maintains that the message is “hearsay within hearsay.” He called the obvious indication that she was “still fighting against the peaceful transfer of power by advocating extralegal means” an “outrageous fabrication.” To me, this is a flimsy defense of a certified nut job in Congress who needs to be relieved as soon as possible of her high position in Congress.
I do hope that the Georgia voters case will result in Greene being declared ineligible from seeking a second term. Finally, some justice might prevail in this situation.
Tonight marks the return of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner inside the Washington Hilton, with more than 2,500 guests in attendance, and comedian Trevor Noah serving as its host. The President himself will deliver comedic remarks, which marks the first time a U.S. president has attended the dinner in six years. No way would the last chaos president have attended if it hadn’t been canceled because of the pandemic. Dumpf actually bowed out in attending the event before the pandemic because of his preternaturally thin skin; his lack of humor disqualified him from the onset. The White House Corespondents Association, which hosts the annual black tie event, will honor several journalists for their contributions.
I watched some of the coverage live on MSNBC, and there has to be some concern for those attendees who are sitting so close to one another wearing nary a mask on their smiling faces. There was a different Washington party some weeks ago, the Gridiron Dinner, in which partygoers did test positive for coronavirus. So people should have listened to our very own Dr. Anthony Fauci who decided to bow out of tonight’s dinner after a personal risk assessment. Fauci is 81 years old, while Biden is a youthful 79. Saturday’s event comes after two top Biden officials tested positive for COVID-19, Vice President Kamala Harris and Kate Bedingfield, the White House’s top communications official.
Let’s hope this event doesn’t result in more people succumbing to COVID-19.
Today we did have a pretty nice day – finally. Thus Elliot and I spent the day in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, having brunch at our favorite haunt, Juliette, on Bedford Street, and spending some time in various bookstores, before driving to Greenpoint and spending a little time in McCarren Park. While sitting in the park, Elliot and I marveled at how many young people strode past us with dogs on leashes. Some dogs actually walked by without being leashed, we noted. Then we drove home and went to Ben’s Deli in Bayside for dinner. A very pleasant day, all in all.
It’s getting late here.
Tomorrow should be as pleasant as today, so have a great Sunday.
Stay safe and be well.
