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"?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.

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
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."

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.
Well someone in MAGA world finally has the balls to call a spade a spade. It appears she doesn't fear Trump's reprisals and retributions, knowing full well what a thin-skinned insecure tiny hand man he is.
Although, if she hasn't already, she would be advised to step up her security, by a lot. Taco might not do something directly, but stochastic terrorism doesn't need him to do anything directly.
In addition, even if he doesn't employ a bunch of rhetoric pointed at her, we all know how deranged that base is, and how much they demand unquestioning fealty to donnie dumbass. A whole lot of them are armed to the teeth, in need of mental care, and don't need much of a rationale to get violent. Her being a woman only adds to the problem...
Her and her family probably own a bunch of guns and are friendly with their neighbors who also own a bunch of guns, so she probably feels pretty safe because of that.
I don’t think she understands how easy it is for the CIA or some well trained private mercenaries to torch your house like what happened to that judge.
But at least she’s speaking out. So good for her. Let’s hope it helps.
I'm glad she's speaking up.
Yeah, no amount of security is going to do much against state actors, that is for sure. If there really was a "deep state" that was hell-bent on doing something to someone, even a sitting President of the U.S. would not have enough security to do anything about that. The people seeking to do property damage or murder only have to be successful once.
It’s crazy to me how a majority of congress cedes their power to the president. I get why, that way they don’t have to take responsibility but I put more responsibility for giving up their power. I know there is more to it but basically the office of President and the Supreme Court exist because of Acts of Congress. I know we are supposed to have checks on governmental powers between the three “co equal” branches but congress has gridlocked itself into towering the president so what ever they want.
I keep reading articles that claim that “behind the scenes even Republincan Congress members have problems with what Trump is doing”. If that’s the case, I wish more had the guts to say it rather than toeing the party line.
Bunch of scared, greedy, assholes, just waiting for their next Lobbyist handout.
I really hope that's it. Maybe her boyfriend started slipping her some meds in the morning. I still don't trust her any further than I could throw her, nobody should. This feels like yet another ploy to lure in and weaken voters. Divide the opposition and the Republicans will remain the powerhouse newxy election, same shit Jill Stein was doing...
Good to see from MTG.
