Mocking Scream'n Greene: Like shooting fish in a barrel

Mocking Scream'n Greene: Like shooting fish in a barrel

I couldn't resist adding her shoes to my illustration:

I was not the first to make the comparison between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Cruella de Vil', not by a long shot. The jabs had to do with what she wore to the State of the Union address where she also screamed, not to her vocal outburst at the spy balloon briefing.

Here's an excerpt from the Raw Story article:

“When she got to ask questions, she was yelling out saying ‘bulls---’ and, you know, ‘I don’t believe you,’” said that lawmaker. “Just screaming and yelling, irrational in my estimation.”

I haven't read anything about what she wore to this. Since this was a confidential meeting and the media wouldn't be covering it she might not have bothered to wear her version of an attention grabbing clown suit or brought her I-spy-with-my-egotistical-eye balloon.

I use DuckDuckGo but of course you can use your preferred search engine.

Rather than provide links you can just do a web search and pick any stories you want to read. 

As far as I'm concerned this was the best article:

Excerpt:

The Walt Disney Company is suing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for copyright infringement. The multi-media and theme park giant charges that the conservative politician knowingly infringed on their intellectual property, Cruella de Vil, and is suing for $150 million in damages.

That Disney might sue isn't as far-fetched as it may seem since the company is well known for taking trademark infringement very seriously. I haven't heard whether they are going after all those who used the Cruella DeVil images. Perhaps I will get nailed for using her in my blog illustration.

OnlySky Media's political pundit Andrew Canard posited an interesting speculation:

“I’m just waiting for the conspiracy theory that Greene is a plant funded by George Soros to destroy the GOP,” he said.

The State of the Union ranting led to people tweeting side by side images of her with this baboon.

There are numerous images of this particular not too distant relative of Marjorie Taylor Greene one could use for such comparisons:

   Here's another comparison. 

The person on the left is going to jail. Majorie Taylor Greene, as far as I know, has not requested conjugal visits. 

Below is Greene's idea of funny. What won't she do to get attention?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene carried a white balloon ahead of the State of the Union (article)

You can watch the video she posted on Twitter here. Note that she was having someone make the video so she knew damn well it would be picked up by the media.

Her balloon stunt triggered Lauren Boebert, her rival for the lunatic spotlight, into a reaction (reported on MSNBC)

I wonder how many Republicans are expressing of feeling the same sentiment as the one reported in this article:

According to one disgruntled GOP staffer, "I don’t think someone who looks and acts like a cartoon supervillain heckling the president on national television is the best representative of the Republican Party."

Trump's "real" State of the Union speech is a version of Where's Truth Waldo when there's no Waldo in the picture.

If you are reading this I very much doubt you watched Trump version of the response to President Biden's State of the Union address on NewsMax or looked at Truth Social. Of course, like me you may have held you nose when you saw this article on HUFFPOST and watched it from the link below:

Trump Gives 'Real State Of The Union' And Declares He's 'A Victim'

The former president turned his supposed rebuttal of Biden's speech into an acrid campaign rant.

Feb 8, 2023,

Trump, reading off a teleprompter, went on in a near monotone with his grating voice.

The first words out of Donald Trump's mouth were "here's the real state of the union" which if you think about it is an attack against Sarah Huckabee Sanders for presumably giving a speech about the unreal state of the union.

Occasionally he made an attempt to modulate his voice to the "this is horrible" level, for example when he said that "savage criminals and violent criminals are being released from jail to continue their crime wave" which of course the blames on President Biden.

The man seems incapable of transitioning from his rabblerousing mostly extemporaneous speaking style used at his rallies to reading off a teleprompter. Without the energy he seems to suck out of his cheering cultists he seems benumbed.

Trump went on the say that the murder rate, thanks of course to Joe Biden, was the highest it has ever been, a claim that got a big FALSE on Snopes.

The reference to the weaponization Justice Department included what seemed to be a "poor me" plea for sympathy was "and I’m a victim of it — is persecuting his political opponents.”

According to Trump, Joe Biden's Justice Department is not only trying to indoctrinate our children but trying to mutilate them. It is unclear whether this is a reference to transexual surgery or the QAnon conspiracy that children are being killed to harvest adrenochrome, i.e. that  "liberal politicians and Hollywood "elites" are harvesting the blood of children to extract adrenochrome for its psychedelic and life-extending benefits. Reference.

If that's not bad enough he goes onto say Biden is trying to lead us to the brink of World War Three." Trump, lest we forget, has a secret plan for stopping this which is a no-brainer: stop helping Ukraine and make sure Russia wins the war. 

Wait for this bit of projection. This may be the best part. 

Trump accuses Biden of being the most corrupt president in history. He must have his own definition of the meaning of that word. It certainly doesn't fit what the dictionary says:    "having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain."

Of course Trump has good news. 

He says that "we're" going to reverse every crisis, calamity, and disaster caused by Joe Biden, using the royal "we" before saying, with a rare use of the first person singular, that "I'm running for president to end the destruction of our country to complete the unfinished business of making America great again."

Postscript:

Its far as lies, I could say the same thing about what Sarah "I can't believe she's a state governor" Sanders said in her official GOP rebuttal as far as a truth-check.

This is what I wrote about it yesterday:

She was all over the place with her emphasis on how horrible the Democrats are in promoting so-called "woke" policies and using the word freedom numerous times. Of course she's trying to gaslight everyone as if by describing the destruction of freedom as freedom it will make people question their own sanity. 

Just about every part of the anti-woke culture war is an attempt to take away freedom, from a woman's right to choose to the right to read what you want to read, to learning the truth about racism in America, to a person's gender identity choice. It's as if she thinks that the more she uses the word freedom she will distract from the fact that these anti-wokers want to subjugate those they disagree with.

Salon had a good article about it:

Sarah Huckabee Sanders roasted by hometown paper for SOTU response

Sanders' speech was called a "word salad of talking points and name calling

Sander's most mocked line was “The choice is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal and crazy.” For example the tweets shown in this article.
