Trump will reap what he’s sown by having not picked her for a cushy cabinet position. She loved him, dammit!
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.
She’s not the worst person I know. She’s in the top ten, but not the worst.
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
Man she really didn’t realize he was like this huh? She was just here for racism not the fascism, what a fool
My perverted mind thought this is a dominatrix in the thumbnail
You’ll never know unless you ask. I could believe it.
She’s the sacrificial Republican this time around.
She is likely going to maneuver into Speakership. She knows Trump isn’t lasting and this version of Greene she’s putting out will demolish Vance.
She’s playing to win a longer game.
She drew the short straw
What timeline are we living in where MTG is actually starting to talk sensibly about some of the bull-puckey that Trump is pulling?
Don’t get me wrong - she still is not a good person, in fact she is downright despicable on many levels. But crap, she’s actually talking against Trump on two issues now.
But, honestly, I doubt her sincerity on the tariffs issue. It’s most likely that she’s concerned that the businesses that have been stuffing her pockets for years won’t stuff her pockets anymore.
I think that unlike some others in the maga leadership, she was a true believer. She believed in all the most dubious deep state conspiracy theories. She thought this movement was about purging deep state corruption, and replacing it with some more meritocratic system. A big old dose of racism in there but with her rationalizing it with convenient conspiracy theories.
Now she’s faced with more blatant objective evidence of conspiracies. So she gets turned a bit by the betrayal.
Over a long enough time span, I think MTG is doomed to always, eventually turn against whomever is ostensibly “in charge”. She’ll go for conspiracy theories and of course the people in charge are to blame.
She’s pivoting. The writing is on the wall for trump. She wants to be speaker of the house and run for potus in 28.
She knows two things well: 1: the Trump base and 2: that Trump ain’t lasting much longer.
More than two - Israel, Epstein files, ai regulation, healthcare and influencer transparency before this.
MAGA loves MTG. She’s positioning herself to take over after Trump dies. She basically needs to prepare ammunition to attack other contenders with.
She could always go all out on a wedge issue: Release the Epstein files.
She did exactly that.
She is one of the three Republicans who have signed the discharge petition to force a vote on bill to release the Epstein files. (Bobert is another one, go figure.)
To be fair, she has kept on it, although just a bit quieter the last couple of weeks.
I guess MAGA could enjoy playing Magic The Gathering, though I feel like they usually don’t go for games like that.
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.
na… she’s an opportunist… coconuts have no role in this shit show. she will follow the populist winds to oblivion
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 she’s distancing herself from anything Epstein while she still can.
Right. I think she’s putting her money on Trump failing so she can run for president and say “see, I stood up”
Which is a brilliant move, if project 2025 fails.
If she splits the Vance vote then she will be doing the Lord’s Work
Vance is not running in 2028, it will be Donald Trump Jr. They won’t even need to change the hats.
I cannot actually imagine him doing very well in an election either way.
They will just rig it again.
I bet you would have said the same thing about Trump in 2016 and yet here we are. Attempting to understand the thought process of inherently irrational people is a losing battle.
vance has the appeal of a well fucked couch
What exactly would you describe as appealing about Trump?
Nah, when Trump won the nomination in 2016 I knew we were cooked. Vance doesn’t have the same appeal. He’s got the “owning libs” part down but his humor lacks a broader appeal, unlike Trump.
Vance has “the machine” behind him though. He was Thiel’s pick.
Sorry bud, I knew he was gonna win because Hillary was gonna lose. I did not think he was going to lose in 2020 though—and honestly I wish he won just so we would be done with it all by now. But that revenge project 2025, mixed with 4 years of him aging just killed the whole country.
Hillary won the popular vote. The electoral college should have been abolished after the election was stolen from Gore.
He may not need an election any more than Putin does.
This is the only way Vance stays in power. He’s shit when it’s anything other than someone else’s fully processed thought coming out of his mouth
That is definitely a concern…
Vote?
I think she was a true believer who finally woke up to the fact that Trump and his lackeys are doing everything they can to prevent disclosure of the Epstein files. And that was like her main issue.
Let’s be very clear: she’s a massively racist bootlicker, this is not a new leaf she turned over, it’s fucking around and finding out.
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.
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 she’s simply a true believer, and all the other MAGA politicians are grifters; I think she has closer genuine beliefs to what most civilian MAGAs believe than the others within the government.
I don’t want her in power, but I’d take her over the grifters.
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.
It is so strange to keep stumbling across things this dumb cunt says that I agree with.
Agree
Who else is taking bets that soon a “leftest trans Antifa” will shoot at her with bullets “engraved” with marker that say “anti-anti-crypto” and “anti-anti-pedophile”?
What the hell is even happening now?
Getting a head start on her bid for power since dump is dying.
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.
Neither does trump, he has project 2025 and miller to tell him what to do.
Foreal man, but it’s probably just that MTG is just contrary to people in power. Like it’s her thing, doesn’t matter who
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…
Nah, she is just pushing back because she isn’t personally benefitting and doesn’t want to be dragged down by Epstein and other landmines underneath the white house.
I’d say that’s likely to be true, but, still…I’ll take it.
Those guys are a bunch of neoliberal clowns
So what. I’ll take neoliberal clowns any day over what is happening right now. Goddam Lemmy, how privileged are you guys
When the four horseman of the apocalypse show up and see Marjorie Taylor they check their notes.
"Wait was one of us supposed to be off today? No, ok but how does this make sense then?
points at MTG
the other horsemen shrug in response
“You know what, nevermind whatever Ken you take the day off then.”
