Probably, but I'm not interested in telling her she's not welcome here. She apologized for supporting Trump's rhetoric, good.

In the same CNN interview in which she apologized, Marjorie T. Greene told the interviewer that it would be a good idea to interview Nick Fuentes, rabid racist and proud antisemite.

Look, if want to tally the positives and negatives and ultimately decide she’s more trouble than she’s worth, fine. We need people like you too.

What a load of bollocks.

From that eminent pundit David Brooks? Surely not.

It's his specialty. I guess everybody's got their gifts, eh?

He's fairly intelligent, but often his approach to topics is facile and less than honest. He's willing to push talking points that I'm pretty sure he knows are bollocks. A very mild and refined smirk will appear on his face at times that's a sort of tell I think. A recent Brooks classic, the '$78 burger and fries.'

Unsurprisingly, I missed that. Mrs. Joe had to fill me in on the Trump blew Bubba thing, so I guess I'm not in the right bubble.

But, I did check out the post you linked to. I wonder how much a double bourbon costs at an airport.

Mrs Joe recently had a $12 beer at O'Hare - worth it for flying during the shutdown.

If MTG wants to turn, let her.

Turn to what? Do you think she'd seriously consider defecting from MAGA? Yes, she's got herself on the outs with the decompensating fecal bomber for the moment. That's not a new story with the Trumpists though. She's supported a heretical idea or two recently but she's still essentially aligned with the cult. She'll return to the fold at some point in my opinion.

I get the distinct impression that you're not a fan!
Perhaps MTG feels the hot breath of the voting public on the back of her neck?

To everything (Turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (Turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (Turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (Turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything (Turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (Turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracin'
To everything (Turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (Turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Beats me, but she's oughta there!

After break with Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene will resign

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who rose to prominence as one of President Trump's biggest defenders and recently became one of his biggest critics, is leaving Congress.

Greene's announcement late Friday that she would resign effective Jan. 5, 2026, is the latest escalation of months of clashes with the president over his second term agenda – including the release of the Epstein files.

In this file photo, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) speaks alongside President Trump at a campaign event when he was a presidential candidate, in Rome, Georgia, on March 9, 2024.

The Epstein files are just the latest fracture in Trump's MAGA coalition
"Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for," Greene wrote in a lengthy statement shared online.

The third-term Congresswoman also said it would not be fair to her northwest Georgia district, one of the most conservative in the country, to have them "endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for" while noting that "Republicans will likely lose the midterms."

Didn't she know, Trump turns on all his friends at some point?

[Brian Peacock]

Poor MTG. She sincerely believed Trump was a white hat nonce.

[Tero]

Who knew? MTG becomes a feminist:
“Typical of Republican men telling a woman to ‘shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat.’ F*** you in the sweetest most southern drawl I can enunciate,” she wrote.

[Joe]

Funny that she was responding to Mike Cernovich. Dunno about feminism, but she's laying out some hardcore class warfare populism.

[Brian Peacock]

Ah, the famed crackpot to communist pipeline in action.

[pErvinalia]

She's gone so far right she's come round the other side.

[macdoc]

Well thats anarchy and the US is heading there.

If you're going to wag your finger at Americans, and you actually want things to get better, you should also acknowledge the incitement of hatred is the point.
