Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Alex Jones’ Sandy Hook Awards ‘Attack on Free Speech’


After a Sandy Hook jury announced a nearly $1 billion award against InfoWars’ Alex Jones in a civil trial in Connecticut, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to Twitter to rage against the decision, suggesting that the trial is a “violation of his First Amendment rights.”  The jury found Jones used his InfoWars show to repeatedly portray the 2012 school shooting as a “false flag operation staged by the government,” a claim which led his supporters to stalk, harass, and threaten parents of the slain students for years to come.

My, my!  Now, we all know what a prolific legislator Rep. Greene is. Perhaps the good congresswoman should consider introducing legislation to “eliminate all liable laws?”  That said, I do understand the point she’s making, which is basically this - it’s time all this accountability crap comes to an end.  No conservative should ever be held responsible for what they say.  Hell, if a fella like Jones can get sued over a few vicious lies about murdered children and their grieving parents, then next thing you know - conservatives could be forced to start telling the truth about everything.  That could spell the end of the Republican Party as we know it.  If you don’t believe me, just ask Mitch McConnell.

Putting all of that aside though, I still can’t help but wonder - could this actually be the very same Marjorie Taylor Greene who once threatened the Huffington Post with “Your freedom of press is not freedom to lie about me.”  Strange how feelings can change so dramatically under different circumstances and with different players.  The funny thing is, her good pal Donald Trump sues almost everyone who disagrees with him.  Now, I know some of you are gonna say “Hey, go easy on Marjorie Taylor Greene.  After all, she ate a helluva lot of lead paint when she was a young girl.”  Well, as they say, then maybe its time “she gets the lead out of it!”

Anyway, the way I see it, the lesson here for Mr. Jones and his InfoWars sycophants is - speech is still free, it’s just those “friggin’ lies” that are going to cost you.  Guess it’s goodbye to all those fancy cars, bigass mansions, and megayachts.  You see, it seems this Sandy Hook jury has a right to free speech also, and they’ve chosen just one simple word - “Guilty!”  Poor Alex!  Hey, I’ve got an idea for Mr. Jones.  Why not ask Elon Musk to bail you out of this mess?  After all, he’s become such a “Free-Speech” advocate, that he’s buying Twitter.  What’s a billion or so to a guy like him?

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Elon Musk Calls for the Prosecution of Anthony Fauci

Over the weekend, Elon Musk took to his Twitter account to call for the prosecution of infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, endorsing a convoluted, right-wing conspiracy theory that claims Dr. Fauci financed the COVID-19 pandemic.   Musk then proceeded to mock transgender people by adding “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” Gee, the “world’s richest right-wing troll” said what?  Now, I realize it's a really low bar, but I think we’ve finally found someone who actually knows less about pronouns - than Herschel Walker.   Not to be critical, but a good sign you may have a wee bit too much money on your hands, is when you blow 44 billion dollars, just to call people names. Oh sure, I’m positive Elon Musk, like any right-wing crusader, gets a real kick out of using his Twitter to “Own the Libs.”  OK, I get that, but just who does he suppose is actually buying his friggin' cars, anyway?   I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump’s toothless, MAGA half-wits who are fillin...
