She knows. She's always known, and so have every single one of her colleagues and all of their supporters.
ALL OF THEM.
Ignorance is not now nor has it ever been nor will it ever be a valid excuse to be a fascist. This is going to be the most important thing to remember going forward. When the fascists make their heel-face turns, you have a moral and personal responsibility to remember that when they were fascists they knew what they were doing, and when they start their redemption arcs they'll know what they are doing then too.
Greene has never made any real apology for her actions. She still very blatantly pursues the extermination of every minority, and votes alongside her fascist colleagues on every vote that actually counts. And your fascist neighbors, no matter what they start saying, will still be fascists until they prove to you that they are no longer contributing to and are actively working against the multiple genocides that they have spent the last two decades happily cheering on.
She did help to get the law passed (which was in her power and looks like she dearly paid for it).
Since it is executive branch that normally does the enforcement and that's failing, it's us who need to keep them in check.
Make sure everyone around you is aware of this, including MAGA family members. Many of them actually care about this, because making them not care does make them look like monsters by their own standards.
How so? Republicans know that Trump is in his final days with only months to go and MTG is playing to be on the side of the people saying the emperor has no clothes. If the other republicans weren't so clearly afraid they would be distancing themselves post haste.
When you ask the fascists to explain their lies, you're just begging them to tell you more lies. And contrary to the beliefs that most liberals have, they pay zero price for doing that, and in fact their fellow fascists see their lying to you as a virtue.
What we need is for people to realize that asking the fascists to explain themselves only ever shields them from consequences. The time for excuses is over, and has been for a very, very fucking long time.
They’re blocking our whole pages. The documents they did release are up on Justice.gov and it looks like anything with text is covered with a solid black box on the page.
Releasing things at end of a Friday is a pretty common way to try and bury news. I wonder if it's supposed to be by a particular time? If not, they'll probably release it at 11:59pm... at best
Given that every Trumpublican in America has spent the last decade or so insisting that the Epstein files is all Democrats all the way down, I'd really like to hear their excuse as to why the Trump DOJ is protecting Democrats like Bill Clinton
I stayed home sick from work and fell asleep at 9:30. When I woke up at nearly five I asked my husband what happened with the files. He was like “yeah….about that.” Which I was expecting. They’re such fucking liars. This says enough
Trump.
Trump is in the Epstein files Marge.

Also, they treat 'laws' like the laminated instructions under the phone in a VRBO - more of a suggestion than something they have to do.
By now it's the Trump files.
You want Trump to follow the law all the sudden?
Funny how that wasn't a problem for you that he didn't when you helped enable him....
A keen observer will notice that she will never vote against the fascists on any item where her vote makes an actual difference.
No, this is not the same as Collins or Murkowski.

Sorry, you think Trump is in his final days??
Tic. Tock.
Today, December 19th, was the day that the Dept of Justice was supposed to make all relevant documents available to Congress.
I wonder what prevaricating excuse(s) Pam Bondi will offer to justify delaying the release.
"Please explain to us, Ms. Bondi, why you didn't finish your homework."
"My dog ate it, and then Kristi Noem shot it."
As yes, the Cheney defense
And then RFK Jr. ate the dog.

Some intern somewhere is running a Find+Replace on the remaining documents, swapping DJT for MTG.
And none of them will wonder why she was running a child trafficking empire at 9 years old.
Same people who believe George Soros was a Nazi death camp guard at 8 years old.
They’re blocking our whole pages. The documents they did release are up on Justice.gov and it looks like anything with text is covered with a solid black box on the page.
Whoever releases the unredacted copies is going to be a national hero for generations.
Did you expect anything less?

I think DOJ already said they won't release them all today.
It's up on their website now, maybe not all of them but there is a searchable database
Yup and basically any/all text is redacted. What a joke
"Searchable" if you know the filename of the pdf
they'll release them in TWO WEEKS.
just like their healthcare plan, their infrastructure plan....
And it seems like what they have released so far has been redacted within an inch of its life. Not surprising, still disappointing.
Trying so pathetically to cover up her abetting of the admin that has thrown her under the bus
Member of party who regularly violates the law concerned about violation of the law.
Meanwhile she's busy trying to make giving trans kids medical care a felony.
Given that every Trumpublican in America has spent the last decade or so insisting that the Epstein files is all Democrats all the way down, I'd really like to hear their excuse as to why the Trump DOJ is protecting Democrats like Bill Clinton
She'll be gone in 16 days. Great job Marge, you've accomplished nothing good.
Why would they care about that law when they haven't cared about ALL the other ones?
I stayed home sick from work and fell asleep at 9:30. When I woke up at nearly five I asked my husband what happened with the files. He was like “yeah….about that.” Which I was expecting. They’re such fucking liars. This says enough
At least there are maga/qult people who will listen to her over the rest of us.
It's disconcerting how often I find myself agreeing with MTG these days as if she's the voice of reason.
She just cosponsored a bill that passed the house that criminalizes sex affirmating care for minors so she hasn't changed.
💯
They did release the [REDACTED] files.
Trump released concepts of the Epstein files.
Weird to hear Marge actually be right about the law.
This lady deserves an Oscar.
The same guy you voted with over 90% of the time.
And voted in support of him when we all already knew he was in the files.
Welcome to the resistance, Marge. We'll allow you to the party, but you will be held into account at some point. You don't get off scott free here.
Trump that's why plain and simple he's in them and they're covering it up for him
They have been released you can go search them on the DOJ website
Deputy AG Blanche literally said they're not releasing all the files today. Only some, with the rest to come "in a couple of weeks".
And most are just heavily redacted pages.
