Newsweek: Marjorie Taylor Greene responds to Ximena Arias ICE detainment backlash

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is defending immigration authorities’ efforts to deport a 19-year-old college student from her Georgia district.

“The law is the law, and we don’t get to pick and choose who gets to break the law and who gets to follow the law,” Greene told Chattanooga Local 3 News.

“It’s important for us to uphold the law, and that’s the most important thing that we can do and our government can do.”

A humanitarian visa is entirely within the realm of possibility for someone who’s been here since the age of 4. The only obstacles are Neanderthal Republicans who don’t care how many lives they turn upside down as they strive to maximize their deportation counts.

As I’ve already said, MTG is a

Cruel.

Heartless.

Bitch.

Emphasis on bitch!

TAG24 NEWS: Marjorie Taylor Greene applauds deportation of college student from her district: “The law is the law!”

On May 5, 19-year-old Ximena Arias-Cristobal of Dalton, Georgia, was stopped by police and charged with allegedly making an illegal right turn at a red light and driving without a valid license.

Though the charges were dropped after local police admitted to pulling over the wrong car, it was discovered Arias-Cristobal was in the country without documentation, and she was sent to a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Lumpkin, Georgia.

During an interview with Chattanooga Local 3 News on Thursday, MTG was asked to respond to a critic who argued the US should not kick people out who are “living productive lives.”

“The law is the law, and we don’t get to pick and choose who gets to break the law and who gets to follow the law,” Greene said. “It’s important for us to uphold the law, and that’s the most important thing that we can do, and our government can do.”

The congresswoman went on to say Arias-Cristobal, who was brought to the US from Mexico when she was four, was lucky to grow up in such a “great area,” but admonished her parents for not pursuing a proper path to citizenship for her – even though Congress has repeatedly obstructed efforts toward creating a pathway to citizenship for many immigrants.

Cruel, heartless bitch!

Raw Story: Marjorie Taylor Greene complains nothing gets done ‘even though we’re in charge’

Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she isn’t satisfied with what Donald Trump’s administration has so far been able to accomplish.

After commenting on former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis, the MAGA ally turned to X to talk about how little Trump’s team has been able to find out about those who tried to assassinate him.

“Thomas Crooks shot Pres Trump and we still know nothing even though we are in charge,” she wrote Sunday.

She continued, saying that “Ryan Routh tried to assassinate him and we still have not seen his trial,” before turning to a more current development. “James Comey threatens to assassinate him and publicly calls for it and he’s on his way to a best seller.”

She then added, “Trump makes a phone call to Zelensky and gets impeached. Trump says ‘go peacefully and make your voices heard’ and gets impeached again. Bannon and Navarro go to jail for refusing to show for a sham congressional subpoena, but Christopher Wray walks free for refusing to show for our congressional subpoena.”

“Don’t tell me to get outraged when nothing is done to hold these people accountable. No accountability means people stop caring,” she concluded.

Must be really difficult being one of MAGA’s biggest airheads! She just rambles from ancient history episode to another.

Atlanta Black Star News: ‘Let’s Look at Fraud!’: Jasmine Crockett Shreds Marjorie Taylor Greene Again, Derails Hearing With Insider Trading Accusation

The escalating feud between Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene and Democrat Jasmine Crockett — two outspoken political firebrands from opposite sides of the aisle — boiled over again Friday, as Crockett derailed a subcommittee hearing led by Greene with pointed accusations of insider trading.

On Friday, Crockett, assisted by Texas congressman Greg Casar, threw a wrench into a Department of Government Efficiency subcommittee hearing on transgender athletes competing in fencing and other sports as they attempted to breathe new life into an old allegation of insider trading leveled against Greene, the committee’s chair.

But are the accusations without merit?

Greene purchased tens of thousands of dollars in stock in a number of struggling companies between April 2 and 9, when President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement and subsequent pause led to large shifts in the stock market. Greene insisted the trades were conducted by an independent financial adviser.

Proving what Greene knew and when she knew it would require an investigation that probably isn’t going to happen.

Raw Story: ‘Incompetent dunce’: MTG roasted after bailing on Senate race

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) finally settled weeks of speculation by taking her name out of consideration for Senate, in a lengthy post that railed against Republican lawmakers and insisted she could win the race but wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything because her GOP colleagues would just roll over for Democrats anyway.

“Incompetent dunce @mtgreenee claims that she’d definitely win the #GASen primary & general if she ran, but doesn’t want to run because the Senate is stupid,” wrote former Massachusetts state representative candidate Mathew Helman. “I’m not even exaggerating or oversimplifying. She knows she’d lose to Jon @ossoff. Otherwise, she’d run.”

As Trump’s suck ups get richer at our expense …

Mediaite: Marjorie Taylor Greene Scooped Up Tanking Stocks — and Made a Profit After Tariff Pause: Report

Trumps cronies are racking in the bucks — illegal insider trading?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reportedly made a series of bold stock buys last week — right as the markets cratered under President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.

Greene, a vocal MAGA diehard, pounced on some of the market’s worst-hit companies, according to a newly filed financial disclosure seen by CBS News. Among her targets: Dell, Amazon, Lululemon, and RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) — all of which were down nearly 40% when she bought in.

It’s unclear how much Greene spent, since the required three-page report only offers ranges. But the timing is “working out so far” according to CBS News.

Hours before easing the tariffs, Trump told his supporters on Truth Social, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”

There is no evidence Greene traded on nonpublic information, which would constitute insider trading. However, the timing of Trump’s tariff announcement — paired with his recurring calls for supporters to “buy the dip” — has sparked criticism from opposition lawmakers.

Daily Mail: Marjorie Taylor Greene makes stock market play days before tariffs

Trumps Cronies rake in the bucks while the “little people” suffer:

US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene made hefty trades days before Donald Trump‘s tariffs announcement tanked the stock market.

The MAGA proponent made 15 investments between March 16 and March 24. Her three largest moves were putting hundreds of thousands of dollars towards US Treasury Bills, also know as T-Bills.

On March 16, March 19 and March 24, Greene spent $100,000 to $250,000 per transaction on T-Bills, according to Capitol Trades, a platform devoted to sharing politician trading data. 

The Trump ally invested between $300,000 and $750,000 in Treasuries, according to the filings. 

These massive purchases were sprinkled among multiple smaller ones that spanned from $1,000 to $5,000 in companies including Apple Inc, AbbVie Inc and Costco Wholesale Group.

Jewish Space Lasers

Good essay on one of King Donald’s top suck-ups in Congress.


“The truth is this: Marjorie Taylor Greene is incapable of facing reality. Not just politically — psychologically. The moment she’s confronted with a question that can’t be spun into a bumper sticker, she implodes. That’s what happened here. And it wasn’t a gaffe. It was a confession.

“This is a woman who built her career on lies and rage. Who blamed Jewish space lasers for wildfires. Who chased down a teenage school shooting survivor and berated him in public like a shrieking ghoul. Who called for a “national divorce” not as a metaphor, but as a middle finger to the Constitution she pretends to defend. Who floated the idea of executing her political enemies, then claimed it was a joke — as if the rot hadn’t already set in.

“She is not misunderstood. She is not controversial. She is deranged, and her presence in Congress is a national humiliation.”
