Build Benghazi Better: after dismantling the Ethics committee, there will be actual stunt committee hearings. Which Dems will be on that committee, and how will they work to reveal the idiocy of the continuing cover-up and lack of DoJ indictments. Letting the criminals run the investigation is so very much peer review and the height of libertarian self-governance. Three, two, one toe in the water surrounding the power politics of obstructing justice.

"Those who argue against transparency may have something to hide...If they have grown so big that they are no longer accountable to the branch of government that created them, that funds them and it is responsible for their oversight, then they need to be hemmed in.”
Colonel Howie Kurtz and his apocalyptically now, media criticism at Fox News.
x The Normalization of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Once considered a blight on the Republican party, she is now one of its prominent leaders.

The bad internet sucked her in and forced her to believe that Obama was a secret Muslim; that the Parkland shooting and the Sandy Hook murders and the Las Vegas massacre were all false flag operations; that Bill and Hillary Clinton had a hand in killing John F. Kennedy, Jr; that 9/11 was an inside job; that a California wildfire was caused by lasers “beamed from space and controlled by a prominent Jewish banking family with connections to powerful Democrats;” and that Hillary Clinton had murdered a child in order to use her blood for a satanic ritual.
“So far in the past.” She hasn’t said those things since 2018! Why, since then, she’s been a model citizen. Except, wait, wasn’t it just in February 2022—so far in the past—that Greene spoke at a conference sponsored by the white nationalist/fascist Nick Fuentes? That was also the month that she described the January 6th defendants as political prisoners and denounced “Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police.” (Though, candidly, we owe her a debt of gratitude for that.) And if memory serves, in October 2022 she told a crowd that “Democrats want Republicans dead and they have already started the killings.” And wasn’t it in December 2022—last month—that she told the New York Young Republican Club that if she and Steve Bannon had organized the January 6th insurrection, “We would have won. Not to mention, it would have been armed.”
The Fox purification ritual was instructive. While attempting to put QAnon and Jewish space lasers in the distant past, Howard Kurtz asked Greene about her chastisement of Chip Roy for voting to certify the election of Joe Biden. “Do you think that’s important to the base even now?” he inquired. Oh yes, she assured him. It was so ironic that some people were posturing as true conservatives when they “didn’t have the voting record that Kevin did,” by which she meant that McCarthy voted against certifying the election. So the mark of a true leader is to deny the legitimacy of legitimate elections.
Greene’s makeover didn’t start this week. She’s made stabs at resets before, even traveling to the Holocaust museum to introduce a few facts into the roiling stew of garbage between her ears. She denounced Nick Fuentes after Trump dined with him (but not Trump), and acknowledged that a plane really did hit the Pentagon on 9/11. She has sparred with Lauren Boebert, the pillow guy, and Alex Jones’s fans. But this is not a case of a politician who misspeaks or commits a gaffe and must make amends. She has a disordered personality. As a grown adult, she chased a teenager who had survived the Parkland school shooting down the street, harassing and berating him. She is drawn to hatred as a moth to a flame. She is the poison that courses through the veins of parts of the right—the vicious, reality-challenged right. If she is to be normalized by the GOP, it is the party, not she, that is changed.
No sooner did McCarthy achieve election on Friday night than Greene rushed to his side. They posed for a grinning photo. It was his first act as speaker.
