When it comes to the police force and law enforcement as a whole in the United States, the Republican party is generally extremely supportive. They screech and scream and holler about “backing the blue” and “protecting the thin blue line.” They have an absolute cow any time the notion of defunding the police in the US is even whispered within their earshot. Any time a “Black Lives Matters” movement gains any sort of steam, they immediately counter with “Blue Lives Matter,” in reference to the “Blue” lives that are categorically killing the Black lives.
But, as it turns out, that resounding, unshakeable, unconditional support for US law enforcement isn’t actually as resounding, unshakeable, and unconditional as they’d like you to believe. Apparently, it only applies when those law enforcement officials are shooting a Black child dead who’s trying to walk home with a bag of Skittles, or kneeling on a Black man’s neck as he begs for his life and his mother until he takes his final breath. Not so much, as it turns out, when they’re raiding Mar-a-Lago.
From the moment the news dropped regarding the FBI’s Monday night search warrant raid at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound in Palm Beach, Florida, his GOP rats in Congress have been scrambling out of their sewers to pitch an absolute fit on the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation — two of the highest ranking law enforcement agencies in this country.
The very next day after the raid, Florida’s Matt Gaetz took to the House floor to essentially demand that we defund the police because they were mean to Donald Trump.
But you best believe Marjorie Taylor Greene is out here one-upping him already.

In a clip she posted to her Twitter this week of herself politically grandstanding to a gaggle of reporters on Capitol Hill, Marjorie announced that she has “just filed articles of impeachment against Merrick Garland.” The video clip was of course nothing more than her little speech full of bullshit about how “politically persecuted” Donald Trump is under the Biden administration.

Suffice it to say, the comments didn’t go in her favor. At all. In fact, the American people gave MTG all the Hell she deserves, and then some:
Who did you file them with dear? Your imaginary friend? Q?
