Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Speaking At The Iowa State Fair And May Run For President

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will be speaking at the Iowa State Fair as she is considering running for president in 2024.

"SNIP......

Bloomberg reported:

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican congresswoman from Georgia known for espousing debunked conspiracy theories, plans to appear this month at the Iowa State Fair, according to people familiar with her plans. The gathering is a traditional platform for White House aspirants.

It’s not yet clear whether Greene will speak at the event on Aug. 19 or just attend it. The Des Moines Register this year isn’t planning to organize a Soap Box, which politicians in the past have used to raise their profiles for a national campaign.

Until Trump, The Idea Of Marjorie Taylor Greene Running For President Would Have Been Considered A Joke

The gqp will not have a woman as president
Secondly, it’s looking more and more like tfg is going to run. If he does there will not be a primary. He will be anointed as their candidate

On an important side note margarine has an excellent dem challenger, Marcus Flowers. If on twitter please follow him and consider a small donation. It takes a lot to launch a campaign and take on someone who will probably be re-elected. All the candidates deserve our support.

IF we were sure that she wasn't getting help from russia, GQP or from someplace else, and she would be because the GQP has passed over 400 laws making it harder for people--especially for blacks/minorities/Dems, as they gerrymander districts to all lean heavily to them to smithereens..

IF we don't get the voting rights bill passed (The man from WV and the woman from Az seem to not give one shit if this country is taken over by GQP/fascists types), and with no voting rights bill the GQP could easily take the House then it's on like Donkey Kong, because Biden/Harris will be impeached and that will be the end of our democracy. So, don't take for granted that even a caveman-looking, dumb-ass, racist pos like it could with help, steal a presidency. You see fat fascist tRump's still out there hoping to start riots in the streets and even race riots if he could, because he's continuing the BIG LIE about the election being stolen from him.

She would be easy to beat IN A FAIR ELECTION. I can just imagine the crap they'll have to pull to force THAT over the finish line.

Count me in as one of the ones who never imagined in a million years that Trump would win in 2016. As we all know that there is no bottom to the Republican barrel, I will not think that about ANY candidate they put up again.

The presidency is nothing to play with. And we can't let anyone like Trump or Greene get anywhere close to the White House again because, as we've seen, under the right circumstances, ANYONE can win on a a given day.

This is too important to allow someone like her get within stumbling distance because we think it's funny or that she can't possibly win.
