I suppose so; it’s how they find truffles after all. I was thinking ‘pig’ fit MTG better but on reflection ‘squirrel’ would have worked as well.
“Anosmic pig” as a description of MTG sounds good to me.
Wasn’t she chairbeast of the “DOGE” subcommittee?
MTG has no nose.
How does she smell?
TERRIBLE.
I’m dyin’ here.
And yes, how popular and influential is DOGE right now (
) - or rather, being the head of what’s currently a scapegoat while Trump stays safe is more of a con than a pro. Thus, she must grab the attention / headlines / power she craves.
Welp, MTG is warning us that she’s in the crosshairs of evil forces, probably because of her attempts to get the Epstein files released.
Gotta be the Zionists.
Maybe for safety she should have her house painted blue (to ward off the DEW threat), or move to Moscow, to a dee-luxe apartment in the sky.
Sounds like a great way to accidentally fall out of a window.
Nah, if the Zionists wanted her, they would just use their space lasers.
MTG was on Tucker Carlson’s show on Tuesday.
And here is what she said:
Discussing the GOP on Tucker’s show on Tuesday Greene said: “Americans got to the point where electing Donald Trump was a referendum on the Republican Party. And I very much feel that, because many times I hate my own party, and I blame Republicans for many of the problems that we have today.”
She continued: “I blame them for being so America last to the point where they are literally slaves to all the big industries in Washington, the military industrial complex, big pharma, health insurance industries, you name it. They are literally slaves to them, and they love foreign war so much.”
Greene also took aim at prominent Republican politicians commenting: “These people are so fake. The only reason that they kiss up to Donald Trump, our president, the only reason they kiss up to him, is because they’re terrified of a Truth Social post, because they’re terrified of their own constituents that fully support MAGA, that fully support America First and fully support everything that Donald Trump has laid out now for years and years.”
MAGA Republicans have gone too far to the right for Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson, for fuck’s sake. To say nothing of the late John McCain or the still-living Mitt Romney.
Some Republicans are considering a primary challenge.
Can they find someone crazier than her?
Unfortunately, yes. Hell, I was one of the first to ring warning bells on MTG. I was the OP of this thread! And she’s recently become one of the more reasonable Republicans. She wants the ACA subsidies to be renewed. She was one of a very few members of her party to vote yes on the Epstein discharge petition.
She’s still crazy, but she’s no longer wrong about absolutely everything. And Jesus Christ, the Republicans have a phenomenal history of scraping the bottom of the barrel just when you think they can’t go any lower. Reagan was bad, Dubya was arguably worse in some respects, Trump is much worse than Dubya, and Vance is even WORSE than Trump.
I just saw something that would explain why Greene is teetering on the edge of normalcy lately.
Per AOC (of all people), Greene wanted to run for senate in Georgia, but Trump told her no. So she has been on a revenge tour, and that’s why she’s no longer beholden to the Republican Party.
I read earlier today that she wants to run for the presidency in 2028.
The current, less insane version of Greene would actually be an improvement over Trump, and I’d certainly take her over Vance, who might actually be worse than Trump, if that’s possible.
It’s got to hurt knowing the man whose life sized cardboard cutout you publicly fondled doesn’t reciprocate those strong emotions. I was a little surprised when MTG seemed to turn against Trump. Does she actually have principles? Crazy though she might be, I thought the answer might be yes. But it seems little more likely she’s come to the realization that many Trump supporters have come to. He doesn’t give a damn about you. Any relationship you think you have with him is entirely transactional for his benefit.
I think it’s more that she’s a True Believer who’s just figured out that the Republican leadership aren’t.
I think Ted Cruz recently said we shouldn’t pay attention to her because she’s become “liberal.” I couldn’t help but laugh. If you’re not a part of Donnie’s cult of personality, you’re a RINO.
ISTR some years back seeing a Democratic congressman (Swalwell, maybe?) describe how he’d been using the men’s room in the Capitol when Cruz walked up to the urinal next to him, congratulated him on a speech he’d given recently, and told him he was doing good stuff, as if he hadn’t been on Fox News the night before calling him an evil socialist who wants to destroy America.
For Cruz and a lot of people like him (including WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump), partisan politics is kayfabe. He’s playing a character as if he were in WWE. What he says doesn’t matter as long as the marks keep buying what he’s selling. MTG is the mark who thought wrestling was real and then just saw Macho Man and Jake the Snake Roberts sharing a cigarette behind the arena after the show.
The problem is that the Republicans keep jumping into the audience and beating them with folding chairs.
