I am not sure why Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG, in the modern parlance, is called "Large Marge" sometimes. Is this because she's a body-builder (and extreme endurance sports) type? I don't know why else, because she's in good shape. Maybe it's just her height or is it her political stature. She's got a LARGE personality, which is a good thing, so let's chalk it up to that.
I was going to update our last post with its shorter video clip, but I can see enough additions, with one correction to my comments in reply to Dieter Kief, to warrant this one.
The clip from the New York Post - usually on our side, BTW - used the term "rage" erroneously and cut out a prior 45 seconds of the Q&A with MTG. That's important. As with a lot of viral videos, only the part people want to go viral go viral. The death of the violent black reprobate druggie George Floyd is the best example of this that I know of.
Here in this post is the whole thing, at least from when the British lady "reporter", one Emily Maitlis, starts questioning MTG:
One can see here lots more of the personality of MTG. My impression, as usual, is very favorable. She is ebullient from the "Super Tuesday" Trump "big smashhhh" (picture Trump speaking this), of course. I see her here speaking very logically and honestly about Trump's possible VP pick. She is modest for herself.*
Now, you can see that Mrs. Greene was glad to talk to Miss Maitlis for a spell, but she didn't appreciate being hounded on the Jewish space laser issue just to be made fun of.
Finally, about the Jewish space laser errrr, issue, I speculated about what the deal was in the comments under the last post based only on the writing of commenters under that previous clip on youtube. I read on this one that this silliness was about the wildfires in California. I don't care. It's not Peak Stupidity's job to track down 100% of all world stupidity, at least not in our current organizational structure. But, look:
1) Strange things ARE happening these days.
2) No, I don't think that particular conspiracy theory makes any sense.
3) Yes, MTG and any politician, even the few smart ones, can be made fun of for numerous gaffes.
4) MTG is NOT an evil destroyer of the American nation. She's very much the opposite.
I think (4) makes up for all the rest, don't you? So, yeah, Emily Maitlis, why don't you fuck off?
* I'd never even thought about this, but since Miss Maitlis put the idea into our heads, Marjorie Taylor Greene as the VP candidate would be BRILLIANT, and not just in the modern British meaning! Holy crap - you'd have the entire ctrl-left worried about President Trump's health for 4 years and more! Unfortunately, Donald Trump's ego would never let him choose such a smart, outspoken, fun, and hard-charging woman like MTG. It'd draw away the spotlight from Trump, a big no-no for him.

I like women just a little on the trashy side.

PS: As far as Miss Maitlis goes, I didn't even feel like looking her up to find anything out about her marital state or anything else.

PS: Yep, I did see your post regarding the pundits that are out for fame or fortune rather than the best of reasons. I'll write back in those other comments, Mr. Hail.
As for your 2nd comment her, yes, I knew MTG had been divorced recently. This isn't the National Enquirer, yahoo.com or Gateway Pundit, for that matter, but my speculation is that it's tough to be married to a famous or infamous, depending, well-known politician wife. As much as MTG is a Conservative, the family life would surely suffer.
You are right however, that I should keep "Mrs." in there since she's BEEN married. I hadn't thought about the usages for widows or divorcees. What you say is common practice and makes sense. I'll change that in a couple of minutes.
I shun "Ms." completely due to its history of being a modern feminist word. Otherwise, it would be pretty handy, I gotta say...

RE: Miss Greene
I was surprised you used the word "Miss," given that the woman has children and all, so I assumed that she was married.
I learn that a certain Miss Taylor married a Mr. Greene in 1995, both then in their early-twenties; in the style of the time for some, the newlywed young woman turned herself into "Marjorie Taylor Greene" (not sure how often a hyphen was used there, if ever).
It seems that Mr. Greene divorced his Congresswoman wife in 2022, for uncertain reasons. (We seldom get the full story in the no-fault divorce era, as we would when courts made it their business to investigate and determine fault, "breach of contract" in the marriage-contract, with one party must being at fault in most legal-systems, some always looser than others. The Congresswoman is now said to be in a relationship with a man described as a "right-wing media man.")
But the real purpose of this comment is:
If a Miss Taylor becomes a Mrs Taylor-Greene, but later divorces: Does she become a Miss Taylor-Greene? That for me signals that she is a young woman never married. The Congresswoman's daughter could be called that name. Would it fit best in a cosmic sense to revert her to Miss Taylor (dropping the divorce party's name)?
Or would it be better to let her stay a Mrs Taylor-Greene? What is the purpose and staying-power of the honorific "Mrs"?
Does a woman really lose it from divorce, to revert to "Miss"? It seems hard to go along with that, but I have no comprehensive solution. In the event of death of the husband, a woman doesn't get striped of her "Mrs" just because she's not technically married any more. So maybe the "Mrs" could be a permanent honorific for a woman unless and until she remarries.
(I deliberately avoid "Ms." here, to make it a discussion of traditional uses of these terms.)

I'm guessing you mean MTG, but that could be the Brit too...
