    There is nothing so wonderful to watch but a messy divorce between MTG and GOP. No punch that hits is wasted.

    Keep the popcorn machine on standby, it’s going to be entertaining.

    There is no harsher enemy than a disappointed lover. MTG and GOP will be a seriously messy divorce, and I’m keeping the popcorn machine on standby. This is going to be FUN.

      I live in her district. I call her office every day pushing the Epstein files. I’m doing my part.

      Wait, didn’t you post almost the exact thing in this same thread just a few hours after this?

      I’m not complaining, I like the comments and I agree with them. I just felt deja vu reading this and when I scrolled back up to see the same username, I was like, “huh, maybe there was a glitch?”

    Trump will reap what he’s sown by having not picked her for a cushy cabinet position. She loved him, dammit!

    This is the problem with social media. Everyone is trying to get worthless internet points by riffing on the popular “The worst person you know…” meme. Meanwhile, no one is talking about the actual robbery that happened in plain sight just a few days ago that she is talking about.

    The Crypto flash crash of October 10th was nothing short of out in the open corruption that vaporised billions of dollars in seconds. A crypto bro, Konstantin Galish killed himself after losing tens of millions that didnt actually belong to him. And all of it was triggered by well timed tweets by the paedo and chef, Donald Drumpf.

    Heres a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23ddxotpMZM

    If I’m giving her the absolute benefit of the doubt, it just feels like she was an uneducated conservative parent who fell for Trump, and only just lately has she actually woken up to what he’s about.

    It’s probably not as good as this though.

      I like to think she was just some lady who got hit on the head by a falling coconut, and that turned her into the cartoon character she was when we all met her, and since then she recently got hit by another coconut and now this is who she is.

        Maybe she’s like a reverse John Fetterman. She was a MAGA fascist but then had a stroke and became a rational person. Opposite of fetterman.

      I think part of it is that she’s like every Confederate ever, on nearly every issue. It’s a trope for a reason - unless it affects them or someone very close to them, they don’t give a fuck. So one of their kids gets pregnant while a teen, or one of their kids comes out, etc…when it comes to the health insurance, it’s because her kids are hitting the 26 years mark.

      If she can see the other stuff, that’s just icing on the cake, and I’ll take it. I mean the tariffs are probably Taco manipulating the market. It sickens me that someone like him can just brazenly enrich himself with the market manipulation, the grifting, and things like crypto. I guess Marj got sick of it, too, although I have to admit I’m surprised about it. My cynical self wonders if it’s because of some similar selfish reason the Confederates are known for. Still, the outcome is the same…

      I think this is the case as well. Hers could be a valuable perspective for helping others to break free of their own trump derangement trance. Hope it spreads far and wide.

      She wants a shitty America that conforms to her way of thinking. Problem is that trump is making it hard for her by making it hard on her constituents, and her ratings have been falling, so maybe this is all just self-preservation.

        Maybe, but I don’t think she is either intelligent enough or disciplined enough to make such a Machiavellian long-term plan. She seems driven by immediate self interests.

        I’m old enough to know that, when your enemy suddenly seems to be on your side, it is extraordinarily rarely out of any sense of altruism. It is almost always motivated by some hidden (or oblique) self interest.

        Now, as others have said here, I acknowledge that it’s completely possible that Marjorie Taylor Greene has performed enough self in analytical calculus that she no longer believes it is worth pursuing Donald Trump’s agenda when it conflicts with her own. However, like the other comments here, I don’t believe it is for any other reason than complete and utter self interest. I’m still not convinced that she is capable of feeling empathy for other people.

        On the other hand, I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong

    Like the Pod guys said - “welcome to the resistance”. LOL. Not that I think she has really come around to complete sanity, but if she’s come to reason on a few issues - fuck it, I’ll take it.

    We just need a whole lot more of people like her to come around on a few issues like this. I hope the seeds shes planting bloom by the millions…

            It’s fun to pontificate on the sidelines about “manufactured consent” and how “neoliberalism leads to fascism” all day long. The reality is all forms of governance that involve some form of democratic participation require vigilance and engagement. If you think the socialist utopia you’re dreaming of is immune to the vicissitudes of man, then you have some life experience to acquire.

            In the meantime people are being snatched off the streets because the candidate Dems proposed wasn’t left enough or something. Whatever.

    Well someone in MAGA world finally has the balls to call a spade a spade. It appears she doesn’t fear Trump’s reprisals and retributions, knowing full well what a thin-skinned insecure tiny hand man he is.

      Although, if she hasn’t already, she would be advised to step up her security, by a lot. Taco might not do something directly, but stochastic terrorism doesn’t need him to do anything directly.

      In addition, even if he doesn’t employ a bunch of rhetoric pointed at her, we all know how deranged that base is, and how much they demand unquestioning fealty to donnie dumbass. A whole lot of them are armed to the teeth, in need of mental care, and don’t need much of a rationale to get violent. Her being a woman only adds to the problem…

      It’s crazy to me how a majority of congress cedes their power to the president. I get why, that way they don’t have to take responsibility but I put more responsibility for giving up their power. I know there is more to it but basically the office of President and the Supreme Court exist because of Acts of Congress. I know we are supposed to have checks on governmental powers between the three “co equal” branches but congress has gridlocked itself into towering the president so what ever they want.

      I keep reading articles that claim that “behind the scenes even Republincan Congress members have problems with what Trump is doing”. If that’s the case, I wish more had the guts to say it rather than toeing the party line.

      Bunch of scared, greedy, assholes, just waiting for their next Lobbyist handout.

      I really hope that’s it. Maybe her boyfriend started slipping her some meds in the morning. I still don’t trust her any further than I could throw her, nobody should. This feels like yet another ploy to lure in and weaken voters. Divide the opposition and the Republicans will remain the powerhouse newxy election, same shit Jill Stein was doing
