She can do one good thing in her life if she just completely fractures the Republican party.
Who would join her? She's a island
She's closer to the great pacific garbage patch, but I get your point
Great analogy, because even that is getting smaller.
Edit: add link
Do you mean in a “it’s dissolving and leaving the ocean to populate our bloodstream” way? Or are we actually reducing ocean plastic waste?
Not true:
Greene is one of four Republicans, alongside Reps. Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert to have signed on to a discharge petition to force the release of files related to Epstein.
That's four, and there are undoubtedly others who are too cowardly to speak up, but will switch sides when the numbers start to add up.
Though I hate having to support MTG, I think we actually should, just for the moment. Strange bed fellows for sure, but just try to keep it together for a minute. If she can pull enough maga away for maga and the GOP to fall to pieces, I think it's a good day for everyone
Also, she's one of the few in that crowd to stick to her guns and it and not flip to the party narrative.
Even if she's generally a terrible person, is doing it for shitty reasons, or hasn't done it in the past. It's actually a good thing that it's happening at right now and should be encouraged.
Yeah, broken clock and all that. I think she genuinely cares about protecting kids, but has an extremely warped idea of what that entails.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least for a moment. We even allied with fucking STALIN to fight the Nazis.
So let's encourage Empty G and Boobert, and the rest of crazier-than-normal wing of MAGA in their revolt. Well-timed remarks like "Are you going to let him say that about you?" should help a lot.
Ugh... I hate myself for supporting Jewish Space lazers trash Nazi here.
We can agree with the contextual sentiment without needing to support the person.
After all you can have a whole spectrum of opinions on something but to specifics al it boils down to is a binary pro/contra
By calling MGTs choice a “very hostile act”, Trump is threatening MGT with hostility. She better not be swayed by Trumps threats. She isn’t alone. Most Americans are with her on this.
I am with MTG on this.
[nearly throws up a little]
It really goes to show you how fucking dumb she is though. Yeah, good, she's sticking to her principles here (that or her check hasn't come through yet), but she actually believes all the bullshit she's been peddling for these years. If she isn't corrupt, she's just a complete fucking imbecile.
She's both.
It's entirely kayfabe guys. Please read up on it, understand that our entire future of politics and social discourse is going to be kayfabe. The sooner we can digest and accept this fact the sooner we can use this as a tool instead of trying to "take the higher road" which our population has broadly forgotten about.
I am sad that so many progressives and leftists are not seeing this for what it is.
I hate it here.
TFW you realize you're rooting for the worst people you know
They told her all the democrats were pedophiles and she believed it. She still thinks releasing the Epstein files will result in a bloodbath on the left and the arrests of every Democrat congressman ever. She's an idiot.
If you sat her down and explained to her that this will be bad for Republicans because they are the people in the Epstein files she would never be able to connect those dots. She's not out to get trump, she's still after Obama, Clinton, and Biden.
A useful idiot is still useful, despite being an idiot.
This is a really good thing because we need a maga split from within to get out of this mess
This [FPTP] is the weapon of the enemy, we do NOT (need to) USE it.
Any Condorcet method would yield a significant improvement in representation accuracy, but it would trigger one heck of a party re-alignment.
how many other high profile republicans are there aside from MTG who have broken from trump on this? I bet you can count the names on one hand.
I’m not really talking about corrupt government officials I’m talking about the maga sheep who seem to be out there killing eachother all of a sudden. We know that they’re violent extremist but they might be waking up to the fact they were conned by pedo Don
they aren't.
I still think she's insane, but I wish we had more progressive, D congresspersons that had this attitude of serving The People instead of the DNC.
Aren't the progressives all on board with forcing the files to be released?
On this particular issue, yes. But I think they're talking about other things that the Democratic party supports but that are bad for their constituents.
Remind me who this is again, please?
Marjorie Taylor Green or the guy in the picture?
The latter

Cheers
The Long Knives are sharpening for the Night...
If she doesn't work for Trump and she doesn't work for her constituents, who does she work for?
So, technically, is she a terrorist now?
The rats are leaving the sinking ship
That’s what this feels like. It’s not like these people were standing around smelling diapers for the love of the game. They want the power he wields and eventually they will come take it.
I can't decide if I'll feel sorry for her or not when she gets Epstein'd or Kirk'd
Maybe the leopards will come up with something new for here when they finally fully turn on the once useful idiot.
I take it back, I won't feel sorry for her. She's just finding out that she's going to win a very stupid price from all those fascist games she's been playing.
the only time someone criticizing Israel or Epstein is actually antisemetic
Never did I expect to root for this troll
well, she won't be in office for much longer. The democrats already think she's a fucking idiot and now she's angered der fuhrer.
Either she had an epiphany and saw what she is doing will end her up in prison and probably hell if it exists in her world.
Maybe she is starting to understand she is going to be held accountable in a few years and doesnt want to end up in the concentration camps they send immigrants to.
No, she wants power games and shitting on people. She’s just not ok with Trump playing power games and shitting on her. She’s a terrible person, and I’m all for a battle of idiots between her and Trump.
She's now realizing that Mafia are real.
