Marjorie Taylor Greene is in the news again, and no, it’s not because she did something useful for the first time in her life. Turns out, the freshman Congresswoman from Georgia has been suspended by Twitter for the second time in three weeks.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t for comparing mask mandates to the holocaust or encouraging people to shoot vaccine volunteers. It was for spreading more casual misinformation about Covid which, adding up everything that has come out of her mouth in the past six months, is what we’d call a slow-pitch swing and a miss.
The comparisons to baseball are appropriate, considering Twitter has a five-strikes rule (which is about as harsh as a Seth Rogan weed law). But since this happens to be Greene’s fourth strike, the Twitter stands are going wild, with the crowd sitting at the edge of their seats waiting for the next swing of Greene’s batty tongue.
Greene, for her part, is convinced the liberal media is working in tandem to censor her using a Communist-style attack, saying, “Twitter, Facebook, and the rest of the Silicon Valley Cartel are working hand in hand with the White House to censor Americans.” Which makes total sense, until you think about how much noise the world makes every second of existence thanks to social media.
So what will happen if Greene gets one more strike? She’ll have to peddle her horseshit the old-fashioned way, from the back of a truck as it rolls just ahead of a swarm of angry protestors. Or she could build her following on the MyPillow Guy’s super-not-batshit-crazy social media platform, Frank.
In the meantime, as she continues to collect conspiracy theories like seashells at the beach (while cursing angrily at the ceiling after every burpee), she’ll be missing out on all the wonderful things people have to say about her below. Sorry MTJ, at least you have friends in low places.
One more lie and Marjorie Taylor Greene is banned from Twitter for life. She muttered, "It's just like what happened with the PTA, Costco, the car wash, the waiting room at the free clinic, my daughter's wedding and that spinning class which I thought was open carry" pic.twitter.com/DWktLzc99b

Marjorie Taylor Greene is one Twitter violation away from a permanent ban.
Any bets on what month that will happen?
My money is on October.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been temporarily suspended due to her Covid-19 vaccine DISINFORMATION TWEET.
This is her fourth strike, meaning a fifth will permanently ban her completely.
There are three strikes in baseball.
Strike her out, Jack.
