The far-right congresswoman has increasingly broken ranks with the MAGA movement, leading even Donald Trump to wonder ‘What’s going on with Marjorie?’
Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at her fellow Republicans for “doing nothing” about rising food and healthcare costs in her latest breach with the Trump administration.
In an interview with the conservative broadcaster Real America’s Voice on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman warned that letting Joe Biden’s Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of the year would “crush” Americans’ finances.
Those subsidies are now at the heart of a government shutdown that’s lasted 15 days and counting. Senate Democrats are demanding the subsidies be extended as a condition of reopening the government while Republicans are refusing to budge.
They aren’t “doing nothing”. They’re collecting the profits.
The more I hear from this woman, the more I feel like there might actually be a decent heart deep down inside who wants to better her country, but is being hindered by an incredibly stupid brain that is calling the shots.
I hope that’s true. The cynic in me thinks she’s playing the long game and plans to make a presidental run, which means breaking away from MAGA to be more palatable to reublican, neoliberal, and independent voters. The cynic in me also thinks that she’s pissed she didn’t get a cabinet spot, so she’s breaking with the party to throw a metaphoric tantrum. All speculation; I really hope she’s come to her senses.
She is a grifter. She will gather the clout with correct statements to prevent Republicans from moving to an actual alternative.
Idk. She hasn’t done anything nearly as grifter-y as a typical Republican, especially the QAnon type. She was into QAnon back when it was an obscure movement and hasn’t really grifted people with it through the usual currency exchange scams, crypto tokens, etc. I think she’s a true believer in her principles, it’s just that she’s an incredibly stupid and incompetent person and those principles are stupid as well. I don’t know if someone who is incredibly stupid and easily swayed who actually has principles is better or worse than someone who is actually competent but has no principles and is only driven by greed and personal gain.
Somehow she always finds a way to blame antifa and not daddy Trump in the end.
Again, that is completely aligned with her principles displayed so far. She thinks he’s a messianic figure who fights the depe state from the shadows. I’m not saying it’s right or smart, but it’s consistent.
That’s the good in you, believing there could be good in even her.
I think a lot of people who do evil things don’t see themselves as evil.
I think the Bushes were evil people who did evil things and I’ll never forgive them.for all the damage they caused. But I also don’t think they were unpatriotic. They believed in what they did and thought they were making society better.
I think MTG is the really stupid, slightly more evil version of that. She really wants to make things better, but not for everyone. But when she clearly sees that the people she does care about (uaully right-wing racist trash) are being hurt, she wants to make things better for them.
A broken clock is right twice a day, and it looks like it’s 11:32 on the dot.
The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but I will always high five someone when they’re doing the right thing. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Trust however… trust is earned.
I don’t trust her; she’s still a terrible Christian nationalist. I do agree on some of her more reasonable takes lately, but she still has an angle to stay in power.
Like keep saying things to challenge the bastards, but I’ll never support her.
MTG’s approach to politics is to say the most outrageous shit to gain attention and clout. She has no principles at all, other than “Any publicity is good publicity”.
Right now, she’s being crowded out by all the other Republicans like Nancy Mace, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem etc. being just as crazy as she is. She can’t go any crazier without losing support, so she has to pivot in the opposite direction in order to stand out and get the media’s attention like she used to.
It’s working, by the way. Until she started saying this stuff, did you see anything from MTG? I didn’t.
She’s got someone in her ear. No way she’s coming up with this on her own volition.
This is like the third time I’ve agreed with her in the last month or two wtf is going on
This is the really loud rat that slept in the wall right next to your head and pissed you off every night!
Now the ship is on fire. That loud, annoying rat is loudly abandoning ship. She may act dumb, but she’s making some smart decisions (for her own preservation) right now.
I think her being the “smart” one should tell us something about the rest of the Republicans. She’s not the smart one. The rest of them are confident in the fascists ability to hold power through state violence. She appears smart because she’s reacting to the unfavorable view most people have of the administration (while remaining loyal to Trump and never calling him out by name).
She’s not being fed talking points now; so she actually is just defaulting to a somewhat reasonable position from shit she sees as popular.
She’s not a part of the main leadership and she has only ever made a name for herself by being “more radical”. Well, the Democrats are limp dicks and the Republicans are rounding up people and putting them in labor camps. The only move she has is to literally just say reasonable shit to remain relevant.
That describes a person smarter than I ever gave her credit for being.
She reminds of the people who are so astronomically stupid they actually believe that conservative politics will help the average person. Her entire ideology is falling apart in front of her eyes and, too her very likited credit, she’s standing up for the people she represents.
If only she wasn’t a massive piece of garbage in countless other ways and so utterly stupid I’m amazed her last braincell can even fire in semi regular intervals with burning up like a 20 year old CPU being asked to run some unoptimized AAA junk at 4k.
She recently was on Tim Dillon podcast and my impression of the situation: She’s a duplicitous lip-server. Shes delusional enough to rationalize the impending healthcare disaster the dems point to as actually “lapses in Obamacare”, not at all because the BBB bill just passed by her party. Also, she is just protesting with dems where convenient because she is capitalizing on some popularity internal to MAGA. It’s easy to hold her party leaders to account and follow through on promises if that means getting some leverage later on.
You’re probably just becoming more like her surely she would never change lol
Weirdest ally ever.
But people should make no mistake this woman is no friend to liberals or liberal ideas she is a populist. She goes with what she thinks is popular. Not unlike Trump.
She is also an entrenched homophobic antisemitic racist. So, there’s that.
Shit has hit the fan when normal Americans agree with MTG. She used to love the Nazi’s, but I think she is seeing that she may also end up in prison for fascist crimes.
She’s a hateful…hateful…person. But she’s not stupid.
She knows that when the public turns on Trump/Maga, they’ll likely be reactionary and look to his most vocal detractors for leadership. She wants in on that when the orange fuckwit finally eats the last burger that clogs his aorta for the last time.
That’s Gavin Newsom’s play as well. Setting themselves up to the be faces of a post Trump America by being as vocal as possible now, banking on the hope that with Trump gone, MAGA will devolve into internecine chaos followed by nuremberg trials for Miller, Vance, Bondi and the entire gang of chucklefucks.
Vance and Miller on the other handing, are on every news station in America hoping to be the face of MAGA itself, hoping that they have the rizz to wrangle the movement and prevent the above mentioned internecine chaos.
Thank fuck that when you think of lacking rizz JD Vance and Steven Miller spring immediately to mind
how many of these do you think JD owns
The headline gets it wrong. She’s not breaking ranks with MAGA. She’s beginning to lead it.
She’s breaking ranks with Trump.
She’s breaking ranks with Trump.
“The House is not in session, which I think is inexcusable. Mike Johnson should be calling us back. Because we should be working, not only on our appropriations but building an offramp off of Obamacare for the American people… and passing president Trump’s agenda and executive orders.”
Can’t help but feel like she’s not so much breaking ranks with Trump - but instead she has said one or two things that the media has spun up to make it sound that way for clickbait headlines.
Magic The Gathering
She would def be one of those cards that only does bad things to you because you’re supposed to give control of it to your opponent somehow.
I wouldn’t tap that
Because he lied to get elected, MTG. That’s why.
