You know, the thought occurred to me that anyone blasting the racist and and lunatic conspiracy theories and false contrition that Marjorie Taylor Green has done would be fired from any Walmart or Burger King job, never mind a corporate professional job. So sad this nutcase got elected by their (must be somewhat addled) constituency. See below.
Here is a great article about One Fresh Pillow which was founded in 2017. ( Hogg is forming a different company).
One Fresh Pillow is a very small company and decided to donate some pillows for the National Guard Troops sleeping at the capitol. Twitter found out and now pre -orders have exceeds all sales for 2020. They have a very fun Twitter feed.
Yes, one could call it a " pillow fight".
Thanks @saibh for mentioning One Fresh Pillow
@isabelle, I am not sure weather to be happy or sad that he is not testifying.. Its obviously best for him because he can't tell the truth to save his sole. But the entertainment value is both very disturbing, and vaguely satisfying, and at the same time if I ever here that mans voice again I just might loose it in an uncontrolled rant. Its best he sit this one out in Florida. ?
For anyone who needs a laugh, here is Randy Rainbow totally outdoing himself on Majorie Taylor Greene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ8ldD9wKmY
@jeanne-mayell, gotta love Randy! Thank you for that. I laughed like hell over the Bachman remark.

You are totally right and it's something I've been thinking about because of a local election we are having near me in which one disingenuous candidate who lacks the education and skills required to manage a town, and like Trump, doesn't know what she doesn't know, is likely to win the highest position in the town just because she's a fast talker.
That's the rub about elected officials-- because they are elected and elections are the foundation of democracy, they don't go by the same rules as people hired by a corporation. They are entitled to their elected office because they were elected and our democratic process has to be careful about stripping a duly elected person of their position. But Taylor crossed a line, as did all of the Stop the Steel people. It would have been so much better if her own party had removed her instead of forcing the democrats to set this dangerous precedent.
One of you asked what lies ahead for Marjorie Taylor Green. I happen to throw cards on that yesterday. It's an interesting spread of events.
Bottom line: She hobbles along the rest of the year, excited and happy to get attention riling up her base with hate on the weekends, but miserable when she returns to work on Monday morning because, well, she doesn't have much to do. She can show up for roll calls but that's it.
None of her Congressional colleagues are interested in hobnobbing with her, or creating alliances. They may have given her a standing ovation after the democrats censured her but they are going to censure her in a different way - by keeping distance. She has little political capital because she's radioactive for other Republicans. And of course, no democrats will talk to someone who is openly anti-semitic, suggested that Nancy Pelosi be killed, and suggested violence for the Squad.
So with nothing to do as a Congresswoman, she can only post to her various social media followers and try to increase her base. She'd like to do rallies like Trump. But as a Congresswoman, she is now a lame duck with no power.
After the summer recess, she returns to some bad turn of events for her. It appears she no longer has any support from her colleagues. I think her boss, Kevin McCarthy, has decided to cut ties with her. By late January 2022, it seems to be over for her. I am wondering if the Georgia Republicans are going to gerrymander her out of any chance of winning her 2022 primary.
I saw something else while reading her - she is addicted to conspiracy theories. She doesn't have any political capital other than riling up hatred. Very much like Trump only more so. She knows she will be censured in her "job" as a Congresswoman if she keeps spouting conspiracy theories, but she doesn't have any other way to attract attention than hate.
She ends out living a small quiet life with her husband.
I hadn't known a thing about this woman until yesterday, but as soon as I threw a card, I saw she is addicted to attention. Like Trump. And she gets her attention by going even darker than he did.
