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.
MTG finally realizing that the “do nothings” aren’t the democrats, but her own party… I did not have that on my bingo card.
Isn’t it obvious? She’s positioning herself for a presidential run in 2028 by pointing out issues she has with the current administration, and where she would make improvements.
She’s going to run for president in 2028. Which also means not all MAGAs aren’t on board with a permanent Trump presidency. They’re all jackals, they want a bite at the prey, too.
They aren’t “doing nothing”. They’re collecting the profits.
Ew Jesus Christ can we get some kind of blur on pictures of this absolute meathead? It’s like getting flashbanged when this leering simian head pops into my feed 😂
Anyway, whatever this dipshit is saying, she’s a racist, the loudest moron in the room, and a Christian nationalist. Fuck that. She’s still the enemy.
A broken clock is right twice a day, and it looks like it’s 11:32 on the dot.
New Title: Local Republican in denial about what being a Republican means shocked to discover truth about Republicans
forgot to finish it with “decided to continue being republican”
She may switch to that group of Republicans in denial about being Republicans that are known as Libertarians.
But see, now, it’s ruining the wrong people’s lives.
Yep, we have now reached the point in the clownworld timeline where Marjorie Taylor Green, the Jewish Space Lasers lady who did campaign ads by just shooting a physical representation of ‘socialism’ with a 50 cal anti materiel rifle… this woman is seemingly a ‘moderate Republican’, a ‘voice of reason’ within the party, to use the mainstream political vernacular of roughly 10 years ago.
Go back 10 years, and if you told anyone that anything like this was even possible, much less probable, likely, you would be called insane.
And that’s not a hypothetical, because I did, and I was.
What that shows you is how immensely brainwashed and politically illiterate and/or disingenuous almost everyone, on all sides, was, institutional or citizen, political news junkie / official wonk or couldn’t care less.
Yay
American Exceptionalism is now well and truly dead.
I mean, it was really never a thing.
List of American achievements that made them a super power:
- Didn’t get their country blown to sit during WWII
end list
I mean ‘American Exceptionalism’ not as being literally true in any sense, I mean it in the actual Political Science / Sociological sense of attempting to differentiate various democracies and their behaviors from each other.
‘American Exceptionalism’ is … or was, basically our national ethos, a kind of shared, secular religion, a subtext that was basically always present, referred back to often, but not as often just directly stated.
We did, for quite a long time, just quite arrogantly think we were special, basically magically so, immune from or indifferent to many things that all societies have to grapple with.
So, now our core cultural identity has been revealed to be entirely bullshit, and as a result, basically everyone is having a psychotic break / existential crisis / nihlistic withdrawal …all the time.
But anyway, yes, I totally agree with you that in the 20th century, it really all does just boil down to not having our own territory being literally blown to oblivion in WW2, and then misinterpreting that obviously leading to roughly one generation of massively abnormal economic gains… as proof that we are just magically amazing, the ‘indespensible nation’ that was leading the world to the ‘end of history’, all that bullshit.
EDIT:
As an addendum to that last paragraph…
The Boomers are the worst thing that has ever happened to this country, they lived in the literal best economic boom anywhere in the world, in the entire 20th century, at least if you simplify down to capitalist economies…
… and they think that was all them, and they had it tough actually.
No, they are the luckiest and most spoiled and delusional generation in American history.
And they continuously voted to destroy everything that underpinned their own opulence from possibly carrying forward onto other subsequent generatioms.
Only to be replaced by an even more extreme version of American Superiority Complex.
Closely followed by American Victim Complex.
I think at this point its just American Schizophrenia:
Anytime you go outside, assume anyone or everyone could be schizophrenic, and yeah that’s basically America right now.
Followed by American Pyscho
I’m stuck in american clown complex and my arteries are full of tallow
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.
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.
I was thinking the same thing. The MAGA base is financially liberal and socially conservative, she’s pitching herself to those people for a promotion
No. Shes nothing more than a bilge rat that senses the ship sinking and is dutifully scurrying to higher decks to save her own ass.
Don’t trust this bimbo.
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.
You do kind of have to admire her seeming to stick to her principles. It’s just a shame that those principles are usually deranged.
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.
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.
I never ever thought I’d agree with anything MTG had to say, but here we are.
Yeah. Its like I admire that she is consistent.
She’s got someone in her ear. No way she’s coming up with this on her own volition.
She’s always been known to listen to her rural Georgia constituents, and her demands have been dumb because her dumb hick constituents are dumb.
They must really be feeling the inflation and tariffs, and letting her know. She used to perform for an audience of one, now she seems to actually be doing her job.
This actually fits with her. Like she is crazy but she also cares about people, so long as they aren’t Jewish or brown.
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.
The real reverse fetterman
