Marjorie Taylor Greene faces backlash for saying her salary is ‘too low’
https://news.yahoo.com/marjorie-tayl...220626286.html Seems chico's girlfriend isn't getting paid enough for her part time job! Earlier this week, the Republican representative from Georgia appeared on journalist Glenn Greenwald’s podcast and expressed concern about her congressional salary, which according to public records is $174,000 annually. Greene told Greenwald: “Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I’ve lost money since I’ve gotten here. Additionally, Greene complained about the amount of time her congressional work consumes, saying: “The nature of this job, it keeps members of Congress and senators in Washington so much of the time, too much of the time … that we don’t get to go home and spend more time with our families, our friends … or maybe just be regular people because this job is so demanding. It’s turned into practically year-round.”

Greene was listed as the chief financial officer of Taylor Commercial from 2007 to 2011,[1] but a 2021 Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation determined that she had no significant presence at the company.[39] In 2011, Greene stepped down as the company's CFO and began CrossFit training.[39] By 2012, Greene was working as a part-time coach at an Alpharetta CrossFit gym.[1] In August 2013, she co-founded a CrossFit gym, CrossFit Passion, in Alpharetta, along with Travis Mayer, a CrossFit athlete, before leaving the business in early 2017.[40] In a 2015 interview, Greene said that when she and Mayer founded the gym, they knew little about how to run a business.[39] In 2021, Greene said that she became politically engaged during the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries.[41] Beginning in 2017, she wrote 59 articles as a correspondent for the now defunct American Truth Seekers, a conspiracy news website,[13] and beginning in January 2018, 27 articles for Law Enforcement Today,[2][42] a pro-police fake news website.[43][44] In 2017, Greene visited Washington, D.C. to protest against a Republican gun control compromise.[45] Greene was a top official of the Family America Project, a conservative group founded in January 2018. She was a moderator of the organization's Facebook group, in which members posted death threats against Democrats, bigotry directed at the Obamas, and support for multiple conspiracy theories, including claims associated with the John Birch Society about the U.S. government being infiltrated by communists.[46][a] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene She spent the past 5 years "working" for defunct far right conspiracy web sites ... before that was a failed gym co-owner .. before that a part time trainer ... before that she was given her dads business that doesnt appear to be in business in anymore lol

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
So got into it with a couple of co-workers over that 14 year old that beat that 9 year old. They want more punishment dished out than I think is appropriate. And of course one raised that the only reason little was done (I dispute this say we don't know all of what was done). What does the board think is appropriate? punishment?
My argument is that age matters (he is still only 14). One of the guys doesn't think age should ever matter (he agreed with example of a separate case of a DA pushing to prosecute an 8 year old as an adult). https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/s...-in-homestead/ |

14 year olds should absolutely be referred to juvie here. There nothing will happen, there is no jail time for juvies but they do have to complete conditions and are monitored. 14 year old fucks up some more, he can go stand in a long line of dumb teens who dont graduate High School and go straight to jail. When he is in his mid 40s he can look through his little tiny thin rectangle window and watch as his classmate drive by drinking their starbucks going to and from work. This is beyond a just internal school discipline imo. if it was 14 year old boy vs 14 year old boy = keep it in school.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
yeah ..and I am just assuming here from her work per wiki but I dont see how she ever sniffed anything close to 150k a year .. let alone being offended by 174k per year.
174k a year is a lot of money

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
More of chico's people want to make Baltimore even worse.
https://news.yahoo.com/woman-charged...171953468.html Woman plotted with neo-Nazi to attack power grid, feds say BALTIMORE (AP) — A Maryland woman spent months conspiring with a neo-Nazi leader based in Florida to plan an attack on Baltimore’s power grid, hoping to further their racist mission, law enforcement officials said Monday. The plan was thwarted when both suspects were arrested last week, adding to a growing list of similar cases as authorities warn the American electrical grid could be a vulnerable target for domestic terrorists. According to the complaint, Clendaniel was planning to target five substations situated in a ring around Baltimore, a majority-Black city mostly surrounded by heavily white suburban areas. “It would probably permanently completely lay this city to waste if we could do that successfully,” Clendaniel told a confidential informant she met through Russell, according to the complaint. She was most recently living outside the city in surrounding Baltimore County, officials said. Clendaniel told the informant she was experiencing terminal kidney failure. With just a few months to live, she wanted to “accomplish something worthwhile” before her death, according to the complaint. Many of their conversations focused on how she could get a weapon to carry out the attacks. Investigators also found a document in her Google records that they compared to a manifesto. “I would sacrifice (asterisk)(asterisk)everything(asterisk)(asterisk) for my people to just have a chance for our cause to succeed,” it stated, including references to Hitler and other terrorists, according to the complaint.

https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news...ebruary-6-2023 wounded his first-grade teacher constantly cursed at staff and teachers, chased students around and tried to whip them with his belt and once choked another teacher “until she couldn't breathe Two days before the shooting, the boy allegedly “slammed” Zwerner's cell phone and broke it, according to the claim notice. He was given a one-day suspension, but when he returned to Zwerner's class the following day, he pulled a 9mm handgun out of his pocket and shot her while she sat at a reading table I’m so happy she is going to sue and win big. That administration as well as the parents should be held accountable. Richmond School Board overturned 92% of principal recommendations to expel students last year https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news...ebruary-6-2023 Of course here in Richmond which holds some of the worst schools in the state…they are extremely dangerous and school board is in favor of not disciplining students…instead letting the trash that shows up (over 20 percent are chronically absent) keeps the schools feel unsafe which recent surveys of teachers and school bodies show.

I honestly am pretty bummed by how little you get called out here for your posts. Hopefully it's just because no one wants to deal with you.

It's just really sad that things like this happen. Like, what have you experienced or seen before, that made you act like that?
