(7,878 posts)The only person responsible is Republican Mike Johnson, and the only reason why he finally brought it to a vote was probably due to pressure from the outside in conjunction with negotiations with Democrats.
As of even a few weeks ago, Johnson vowed not to bring this legislation to a vote -- and yet he still had Republicans (namely Taylor Greene) coming for his head. Maybe he learned the lesson that all the other ousted Republican Speakers did not, but I'm not going to be putting my faith into any Republican anytime soon. We'll see what comes next...

Which means it can't be transferred or sold.
Trump will use this as a campaign tool "Only I can bring TikTok back"
This isn't good news.

(12,449 posts)I would prefer that the FBI look deeply into Moscow Marge's background to make sure that she's not a long time plant by the former KGB as a sleeper agent.
It wouldn't surprise me if she is a Russian plant, along with several other R's, to take down the US Govt,

(36,190 posts)fact -- congresspeople -- and she's on their list. FISA warrants are classified so they can't talk about that, but I'll bet the FISA court has helped and continues helping the Special Counsel team and the DOJ.

2. Wore a white puffy outfit to mock Biden for the "Chinese Balloon Incident" during a State of the Union.
3. Chased down AOC in Congressional hall acting crazy when she ignored her request for a copy of the New Green Deal initiative.
4. Wore MAGA at another State of the Union.
5. Her constituents probably have a family tree line that doesn't branch out very far.
6. Has proven over and over, her only purpose in Congress is to oppose anything and I mean anything, Democratic. If legislation came up to certify the Sun rises in the east by Democrats, she would oppose it.
7. Believes the Clintons are involved in sex trafficking.
8. Didn't believe a place crashed into the Pentagon during 9/11.
9. Thinks mass shootings, etc. are false flag operations.
10. Do I need to go on?
Moscow does not need to invest in someone who is already "cray-cray". All they have to do is sit back, watch the show and laugh. She is the product of our own screwed up system of Qanon, AON, Fox News, Newsmax, etc. If half the country can elect Trump as President, its not a hard follow to elect "nuts" into a spot in Congress.
Flip side, its a good example for our side of the danger when we believe too much of our own bullshit.

(12,449 posts)but it's not a conspiracy theory, the Soviets were masters at planting sleeper agents during the
Cold War, so their is always that possibility.

(6,409 posts)But they never attracted attention to themselves, that's what made them so effective.
But with MTG, the people in the Kremlin are probably watching TV and saying pass the popcorn. She's a loon, sadly, our loon.
