    I thought I already saw an article saying she lost. Did they jump the gun?

    Good, now she can start doing porn. I have a feeling this is where it’s all leading any way.

    She might need a backup career now. I hear she’s quite fond of musical theater…

    I hate to say it, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is starting to look like a genius for getting out before the collapse.

      I don’t think she was a genius for backing away. She didn’t exit because she didn’t like current policies. She literally got death threats from the cult.

        Marjy skipped taking the next batch of Kool aid and realized that they were driving full speed to a cliff. Warning the others only upset the flock.

        My bet is in a few years she’ll slink on back to office claiming to be one of the “good” Republicans.

          MTG was and is a true believer of the cult. She got out because she realized the rest of them were just grifters

            Exactly. I can’t even look at her without thinking about “Jewish space lasers” and the way she treated David Hogg and the other Parkland school survivors.

            And these choices were 100% her own: no one made her screech at the State of the Union address, for example, or say whatever vicious, lowbrow thing she felt like saying that she thought would get her attention. She made those choices, and it worked: she definitely got our attention. She’s not going to be able to shuck it now.

            For anyone of conscience who’s been paying attention at all, her antics are not forgettable, and not in a good way.

              Directed energy weapons from space are a real thing, and Israel is right in with the US. So piss off, I didn’t read past that part.

                Except that’s not what she was talking about. It is amazing to me that any sentient person would try to sanewash that particular rant. What she referenced, specifically, were space lasers directed by the Rothschilds, among others, to cause the California wildfires in 2018. This is the original post. You should have fun reading it again, unbroken text bloick and all, as you’re so determined to defend it:

                You also, in a breathtaking show of ignorance, insist:

                Israel is right in with the US.

                So you haven’t read the news this week either, apparently. We just had a national referendum on Israel, among other things. We are trying to oust both Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries from Congressional leadership positions BECAUSE of their Israeli ties. Even Jabba the Trump said he’s cutting off Israeli aid.

                So if you could be so kind as to bring yourself to the present and refresh your information on how Israel is “right in with the US” today, you could save yourself future embarrassment. It is anything but.

                But I won’t hold my breath, because as is becoming very obvious, there are many, many people personally and emotionally invested in things exactly the way that they were. I’m not one of them. Thus your final suggestion will be most perfectly and accurately self-applied.

                  I am well aware. I’m also well aware that the attacks on her about this are clickbaitey trash, jewish space lasers, ha ha!

                  Yet she is against genocide now, personally called out the biggest bullies on the planet. She is against geo-engineering, against the Iran War, for Universal Healthcare. By my estimation, she is more progressive than almost the entire democratic party.

                  So, you are a partizan windbag.

                  Edit: Plus she is for justice for epstein’s victims. Unlike most of the democrats in truth.

      I’m not sure Bobo had an alternative grift. Her shooter’s grill closed. Not sure what grift MTG has secured. Her and Bobo had a falling out a while ago, so whatever grift Marj has Bobo is not likely to be cut in.

      Marjorie was a true believer that came to realize she was wrong, and as such she deserves our help, our protection, and esteem. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, they are working off ideas fed to them by people that want to stop us from stopping the establishment. You better believe it.

        Agreed.

        and as such she deserves our help, our protection, and esteem

        Fuck that. Marge is still a shitheel con who wants exactly what most of the GOP wants minus pedos. Good on her and all for realizing that child rapists are bad people, but she’s still a giant piece of shit.

          Don’t let a handful of half wits in agreement fool you into thinking you are correct, you are tooling for the president in fact.

          You didn’t answer my point either, she’s more progressive than almost ALL of the democratic party now, for starters. Then there is the fact we can’t win without people now with the republicans.

          What you are doing, is dividing us so the moderates, and republicans, continue to rule. Get a fcking clue, you and your half wit supporters, excepting the bots voting with you because the oligarchy knows just how fucking stupid people are.

            How? Does she suddenly repudiate corporate money? Does she want more funding for schools or social safety nets? She’s still a con POS.

    Has she tried vaping and performing sex acts in theaters with children nearby? Of course she has, that’s her one move…

      I think that’s rather unfair. It’s quite possible she’s committed sex acts at several other types of venues without getting caught. Hopefully she can get out of DC and move the show out to the truckstops
