Roger Sollenberger - Yesterday 10:13 PM

The campaign committee for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reported its first-ever net loss on Friday, posting a $314,000 deficit over the first three months of 2022 while additionally revising previous contribution totals down by more than $100,000.

About half of that loss is represented in fees to Donald Trump’s top Jan. 6 attorney and a security detail that protected Kyle Rittenhouse during his trial last year.

While Greene has always traded steep fees for slightly higher returns, she’s always managed to come out on top—until now.

Last quarter she sprung a hole in the bucket, as her campaign committee, Greene for Congress, spent about $1.38 million while taking in only $1.06 million in donations. Fundraising costs alone wiped out three-quarters of those receipts.

1. Looks like

fewer customers are buying what she is selling. Time to close up shop.

[mahina]

2. And then she has to pay fines for her illegal stunts at work.

[Emile]

3. What does she do all day in Congress? I know she complains a lot,

but mostly complaining about colleagues treating her as though she is nuts!

[brush]

19. Complaining is right. And making stupid statements...

that other congresspersons who supported Ketanji Brown Jackson for SCOTUS are pedo-lovers, which she then uses to fund raise off of because she has no Congressional duties since being stripped of committee assignments by Speaker Pelosi.

She goes from one outrageous statement to another to fund raise off of.

Hope her constituents are getting sick of her dumb ass.

21. Taxpayers are paying for her doing nothing but whining.

Judge tosses Marjorie Taylor Greene’s lawsuit over mask fines

By Tia Mitchell, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
March 11, 2022



WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Washington has thrown out a lawsuit filed by Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and two other conservative lawmakers challenging the fines they faced for refusing to wear masks on the House floor. Greene joined U.S. Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ralph Norman of South Carolina in filing a court challenge in July hoping to recoup penalties they faced after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed through new enforcement rules for an existing mask mandate.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton wrote in a Wednesday ruling that the case had no merit because Pelosi and the staffers who enforced the fines by docking lawmakers pay could not be sued for decisions made in their government capacity. Walton also disagreed with the plaintiffs’ arguments that the mask fines amounted to an illegal reduction in their annual salary. The 27th Amendment prohibits any law from changing members’ compensation before the next election.

Walton disregarded the claim that the mask fines violated the plaintiffs’ First Amendment protections of free speech, which their lawyers claimed should be invoked because the three lawmakers chose not to wear masks as a form of protest. Greene, Massie and Norman have filed an appeal.

(snip)

While Massie and Norman’s protest was limited, Greene continued to show up on the House floor without a mask for the rest of 2021 and into 2022. She eventually accumulated more than $100,000 in fines that were docked from her salary, which is $174,000 a year.

(emphasis mine)

Was curious how much she racked up with her clown show act.

[Novara]

5. Now that she can't accept rubles, she's in trouble

[Frustratedlady]

6. What are all those fundraising costs for 3 months? Sounds pretty high to me.

Party time!

Hopefully, she will clown around and talk too much to get elected again. Her performances are disgraceful.

[inthewind21]

33. Well

It mentions security for Kyle Rittenhouse. Sure that was/is a pretty penny. Wonder if her GA constituents know they were paying for KR security and legal fees. Doesn't matter. They know now.

[Frustratedlady]

35. Aha! I can't believe that is a legal use of campaign money.

But, then...they make their own rules cover their cheating, then hide the rest.

I am SO sick of Repukes. I keep thinking they can't top their last stupid actions, then they prove me wrong.

[Docreed2003]

7. I'd love to see an actual itemized list of those expenses

For what purpose could she possibly be using that money?

It's sure not on her district.

[oldsoftie]

8. I'd bet she's lying. All she does is fundraise & bitch.

She & Gaetz both do the same thing.
Never propose any "SERIOUS legislation for their districts. Just ask for money & bitch.

[Achilleaze]

9. Loser Republicans lose because

They follow the Republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief Loser.

[Emile]

10. Fundraise, bitch and then off to another cocaine fueled sex orgy with Kevin McCarthy.

[ck4829]

11. K&R

[eppur_se_muova]

12. Many Happy Returns ! nt

[underpants]

13. Her campaign paid for his security?

I’m guessing that is allowed. Doesn’t she know his fundraising grift is supposed to pay for those things?

[LudwigPastorius]

14. ROFL

[keithbvadu2]

15. Raising big money... Keeping little of it.

Donors have limited visibility into where their money goes and may not realize how much is being diverted from the candidate they mean to support.

High fundraising costs, little disclosure.

How Josh Hawley and Marjorie Taylor Greene Juiced Their Fundraising Numbers

Politicians get the veneer of grassroots support, while shadowy consultants get rich.

16. Boohoo

[toesonthenose]

17. I will gladly and actively fundraise and support her

opponent. What a scumbag. My apologies to scumbags everywhere for the association!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. Boo Hoo

[Peregrine Took]

20. Why don't we just call these MAGA'S "losers" which is what they are?

I heard a Frenchman speak on the BBC and that's what he called the right wing MAGA crowd in France..."losers/ or the left behinds" - yes - they are the left behinds due to their own actions and now they don't like it and want to take it out on Democrats.

[GB_RN]

22. Somewhere, The World's Smallest Violin Is Playing...

And I have no sympathy.

[Trueblue1968]

23. marjorie is a LOSER .... L-O-S-E-R- .... I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. loser, loser, loser.

[bluedigger]

24. Keeping her in denim is probably expensive as well.

You can't just buy off the shelf.

[IronLionZion]

25. Qanon Qaren is making some strange looking faces

Sad!

[Brainfodder]

26. No more business people in govt. OK?

These deceivers in congress are just status quo keepers, they don't give a shit about progress, this is my current hypotenuse.

Republicans like it how it is, and push for what or at least try to look like they are for their base of voters.

Meanwhile, this clusterfuck rolls on with no end in sight, so I am giving less and less of my time/thoughts to it, to help save my own sanity or whatever is left of it.

Good luck!




Corporate welfare needs to end IMHO.

[getagrip_already]

27. smells like grift.....

Dollars to donuts the money is finding its way back into her pockets. A couple of shell companies, some web traffic, and poof.

There is no way she is spending 75 cents of every dollar raised to raise the next dollar.

More likely 50 cents goes to her, 25 cents goes to family, and 10 cents ends up in the campaign fund.

She doesn't need to fundraise like that. It's a grift for sure. imho of course.

[Blue Owl]

28. Greene is in the red

[BlueWavePsych]

30. BWAHAHAHAHA

[Kid Berwyn]

31. Uh Business Major

Another NAZI with a degree.

[Marcuse]

32. She raises plenty of $, but can't control her spending. Plus her fundraisers are ripping her off.

[LymphocyteLover]

34. womp womp-- good!
