MTG, Ya Think?

Recently the firebrand from Georgia has made some out of context comments about her GOP colleagues….but recently she made one that gave me a chuckle.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is publicly clashing with GOP leadership again—this time taking aim at what she calls a pattern of “weak” Republican men in Congress. Greene, who’s lately been sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over the handling of the government shutdown, accuses him and other male colleagues of marginalizing the party’s more forceful women, per the Washington Post. She argues that while President Trump has promoted women to top cabinet positions, GOP women in the House are sidelined. Currently only one Republican woman chairs a committee, compared to five Democratic women in top committee positions.

Greene, who won her Georgia district by criticizing Republicans, is no stranger to intra-party fighting. She previously tried and failed to oust Johnson from the speaker’s chair and had a stormy relationship with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy until they reconciled. Her campaign against House leadership has seen her break with Johnson on high-profile issues, including supporting Democratic efforts to extend health care subsidies and pushing for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, she’s arguing Johnson has pushed Republican women to the side, expanding on an argument she made earlier.

House GOP Conference Chair Rep. Lisa McClain pushed back, saying Johnson has treated women fairly and promoted members based on merit. Greene, however, maintains that women like herself and Rep. Elise Stefanik are too often excluded from real influence, chalking it up to intimidation or jealousy. “Weak” Republican men are trying “to marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do something,” she says. She also suggests GOP women—like those who’ve signed on to the discharge petition related to the Epstein files—are more willing to sustain pressure from the president or Johnson. Male colleagues “don’t want to get yelled at,” she says.

She has stated the obvious!

Where the Hell has she been?   the GOP has been that way for as long as I can remember.

With all her epiphanies I just wonder where the Hell she has been for all those years?

What will she stumble upon next?

Plenary Authority?

Recently that little bald Nazi adviser to Donny brought up an interesting term that needs explanation….’plenary authority’….

First of all what the Hell is ‘plenary authority’?

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations.

What is its purpose?

The purposes of the plenary is to: draw together what has been learned, to highlight the most important rather than the most recent points, to summarize key facts, ideas and vocabulary, and stress what needs to be remembered; generalize from examples generated earlier in the lesson.

What brought this seldom used term to the forefront was an interview with Herr Miller on the use of troops in American cities…..

Stephen Miller’s assertion that President Trump has “plenary authority” to deploy the National Guard to US cities has ignited fresh debate and confusion over the limits of presidential power, leaving both legal experts and the public questioning what the White House may attempt next, Newsweek reports. The White House deputy chief of staff made the assertion on CNN Monday while discussing efforts to send federal troops to Portland, Oregon, despite a judge blocking such action. His abrupt silence after making the claim led to speculation on social media, with some users suggesting he was told to stop talking, though CNN attributed the pause to technical difficulties. The network did not include the phrase “plenary authority” when it edited the video to post on social media, HuffPost reports.

Asked if Trump would abide by the judge’s order, Miller said, “Under Title 10 of the US Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before pausing, blinking, and failing to respond when the interviewer repeated his name a few times. After the show returned from a break, Miller continued, “I was making the point that under federal law, Section—Title 10 of the US Code, the president has the authority anytime he believes federal resources are insufficient to federalize the National Guard to carry out a mission necessary for public safety.” He said the administration would “abide by the ruling insofar as it affects the covered parties” but that Trump also has “many other options … to deploy federal resources and assets under the US military to Portland.” Online searches for “plenary authority” increased after the clip, WUSA reports.

Plenary authority, rare in the US, gives one of the three branches of government total control over one area (such as presidential pardons). Legal experts quickly weighed in. Matthew Mangino, a former Pennsylvania district attorney, described “plenary authority” as “complete and absolute power,” noting, “The office of the president is not endowed with it.” He added that US governmental checks and balances give Congress and the courts the power to keep a president from overstepping. Richard Painter, the former chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, clarified that while Title 10 of the US Code allows the president to federalize National Guard units in certain circumstances, it does not grant unchecked power, and significant limitations remain under the Posse Comitatus Act.

Everyone of the sycophants are dancing hard and fast to find reasons for the occupation of American cities by troops.

This ‘authority’ is not a blank check and Donny needs to be made a ware of it use and misuse.

Now you know what Herr Miller was popping off about….and trying to set some sort of legal groundwork as cover.

Foreign Military Presence In US?

WTF?

News broke over the weekend that Donny has authorized a Qatari military base on US soil….

Qatar’s military presence is set to grow on American soil with a new air force facility planned for Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the announcement Friday, calling it a significant step in the strategic partnership between the two nations.

“Today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatar Emiri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho,” Hegseth told reporters. “It’s just another example of our partnership.”

The new facility will house Qatari F-15 fighter jets along with a contingent of pilots. While the White House has not yet shared additional details, the move marks deepening military collaboration with one of America’s key allies in the Middle East.

Hegseth then shifted his remarks to the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which he said would host a contingent of Qatari F-15 fighter planes and pilots to “enhance our combined training, increase lethality, [and] interoperability”.

Ali al-Ansari, Qatar’s media attache to the US, later clarified that the facility “will not be a Qatari airbase”.

“Qatar has made an initial 10-year commitment to construct and maintain a dedicated facility within an existing US airbase” to offer “advanced training and to enhance interoperability in defending and advancing our shared interests around the world,” al-Ansari said in a statement.

As with almost everything coming from those mindless tools in the admin the announcement was met with confusion….so much so that Hogsbreath had to once again ‘clarify’ what was meant in the earlier statement….

After announcing on Friday that the Trump administration would be providing an air base in Idaho to Qatar, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth backtracked, issuing a clarification on social media in response to a growing backlash.

“Important clarification,” Hegseth wrote in the post, published to X. “The U.S. military has a long-standing partnership w/ Qatar, including today’s announced cooperation w/ F-15QA aircraft. However, to be clear, Qatar will not have their own base in the United States—nor anything like a base. We control the existing base, like we do with all partners.”

In response to inquiries sent to the Office of the Secretary of Defense by defense news outlet Defense One, the office said, “The establishment of an enduring location for Qatari F-15 aircraft at Mountain Home Air Force Base provides Qatar with strategic flexibility to operate and sustain their advanced fighter aircraft.”

WTF?

If Qatar builds this base will it be like the embassy….Qatari soil?

This whole affair smells like a heaping pile of Trump manure.
