Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The Georgia representative's revelation comes after Trump rescinded his support and suggested he would back a primary challenger against her.

"I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. The man I supported and helped get elected," Greene wrote in a post on X on Saturday.

In recent days, Greene and three other Republican House lawmakers faced pressure from the White House to remove their names from a House petition that will force a floor vote on a measure calling for the Justice Department to release files it has related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Greene has doubled down on her support for releasing the files, writing in her social media post about the new threats she's receiving that, "I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel."

Person who plays with fire is surprised to learn that she is in danger of being burned.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 41 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Alternatively, leopards and faces.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 16 points 4 days ago

Alternatively, bulls and feces.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

She should have learned history.

[–] phaedrus@piefed.world 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I hope she keeps pushing, I'm willing to risk her life for this

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

~~Some~~ One of ~~you~~ her might die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 65 points 4 days ago

Must be that Radical Left Antifa

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is why nobody wants to speak out against him - he pardoned like 1000 people willing to commit violence in his name.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Isn't the entire military people willing to commit violence in the President's name?

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago

Well, that's typical MAGA. Call in some death threats. She should know this by now.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago

Seems Donnie Blowhard is scared.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Conservatives are terrorists.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

According to the FBI’s own website, this might qualify.

It most definitely fits that definition when I read it, but I'm sure someone could try to argue it not being in court

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

Ah, she's experiencing the life of the average American now.

[–] khepri@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh? And how many random people have gotten death threats because of your unhinged rhetoric in the past Marge? You got to eat your share of faces, now the worm has turned ya psycho.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Lay with pigs.

[–] mereo@piefed.ca 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's good that she's against Trump. Now that she has been betrayed by MAGA, she will become their biggest opponent.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

She’s probably trying to get ahead of the administration collapsing on itself. The entirety of this stint is for her own gain, so don’t be surprised if she turns on a dime if it suits her aims.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago

I suspect you're right, but I also suspect she actually does care about pedophilia. That's a big part of what she ran on, and at least she's following through even when it turns out the people she was supporting are actually the people involved. I don't like the woman, but she seems to have more moral determination than most politicians. She's just incredibly stupid and gullible.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 days ago

She’s still all-in on MAGA — just not Trump.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Did she meet her own constituents?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ok, honestly though, it wouldn't be that surprising if MTG got charlie kirked

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 15 points 4 days ago

I dunno about that. The Charlie Kirk assassin had a lot of messaging similar to Nick Fuentes and his Groyper followers but we're not allowed to talk about that. And MTG has some connections to Nick Fuentes.

Then again, that was a few years ago, and again, we're not allowed to talk about any of that because of American Censorship.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah no shit, this is how they operate.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

This is the least shocking thing about their squabble.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

There’s an old saying about that… “You made your bed, now you have to lay in it”

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

“I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.”

Surprised she has the self awareness to realize that her experiences still don't really compare to being sex trafficked.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If they’re spelled correctly, we know they’re not from Trump himself.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Please use quotation marks and cite your source. She’s a congress critter. Show some respect.

Suddenly...and it ain't the evil DemoncRats!!!

Oh, they'll find a completely nonsensical way to twist things so it still is in their minds just so they can avoid every having to admit fault or error.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago
[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Duh. She's a woman. maga freaks hate women and minorities.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Tokens get spent

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

They fucked up by letting her in and then pissing her off, she’s a special kind of spiteful and stubborn.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

What do you know. All it took was a speck of empathy.

[–] DeICEAmerica@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Trump supporters probably make what do you think folks, 1000+ death threats a day? What's the over / under ?

They make them to democrats and anyone that even suggests Trump follow our laws. These are the people that will need reeducation when this is all over. The USA minus Trump equals several million fucktards still left that get to vote who should be incarcerated in the same jails ICE has filled instead.

i've had two legitimate death threats when i lived in "liberal" states. i've lost count of how many i got when i lived in republican states. seemed to be part of standard conversation there.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 8 points 4 days ago

I doubt it. MTG has always been a true believer in QAnon and MAGA; her principles are horrible dogshit, but unlike Trump and co they are principles.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Oh no .... anyway.

[–] IEatDaFeesh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"... fueled and egged..."

egg

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Sounds like she's getting what she gives. This should be fun.

Hell, if she puts the same effort into releasing the files and getting that asshole locked up, I'd....be very grateful.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

If the redneck psycho of Rome was not getting death threats at any point in her political asylum jaunt, I would be very surprised.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Not shocking knowing MAGA.
