I don't think even she is so stupid that she is just now realizing that the Republican Party is....full of Republicans.
“Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk. Will that be good enough for you then?” she wrote
Sounds like she’s just discovered the “find out” part of “fuck around” might possibly apply to her, so she’s out.
She bailed exactly as her pension matured. She's gonna try for a presidential run as a third party outsider.
Good. The more the Republican voting block is fractured the better.
More likely governor.
“I have been trying tell all you ‘men’ that our kitchen pantry is empty with spider webs, our house has been ransacked, the windows and doors are broken and busted, and the greedy rich bastards have twisted your minds into a sick state that you all continue in the two party toxic political system that acts like college football playoffs yet is burying you and your children and their children and their children in a pine box in a shallow grave,” Greene continued.
Hmm. There's a degree to which it feels like she's shoving canned goods from the pantry out of sight into her purse while she's saying this, but I do agree with her basic point here. Especially the way parties are treated like football teams.
I seriously wish a whole lot more conservatives and "moderates" and "independents" would pay more attention to sportsball instead of voting for Republicans for culture war reasons. They definitely treat culture war/wedge issues like sportsball...
I mostly remember her screaming at a man who survived a school shooting that he was a crisis actor.
And screaming “you lie” at Joe Biden at his SOTU for no obvious reason.
Maybe people would listen to her if she didn’t act like an unhinged lunatic grifter.
I hate it when this happens
Shirley, you know someone worse.
There's always Ted Cruz, and don't call me Shirley.
Please don't call me Shirley
pls call me shirley senpai uwu
"Two party toxic political system"
Maybe she really is going to run with Musk's party
“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,” she said.
But the current President is one of those rich powerful men raping the trafficked. What did she expect would happen?
For anyone trying to figure out what the angle is, MTG is trying to become the face of the American TERF movement. She's going to milk that for years (if it catches on). Expect a book about the horrors she endured as a brave woman in the Magasphere.
I don't know if right-wing radical feminism in America is necessarily going to be trans-exclusive. Transmedicalist if it isn't, for sure, but there are plenty of right wing grifters who also happen to be trans women.
The mainstream facist right already have transphobia cornered as a brand, so being trans-inclusive might be key to turning some discontent into a real political movement.
lol how could right-wing TERFs possibly be trans-inclusive
This photo just gets more unsettling the more one looks at it.
She's resigning exactly two days after her pension kicks in.
In fairness, we would all do it this way. Would you stop a week short? Fuck no, I worked for that.
I don't like her and I don't like nearly everything she's done, but this is the most honest way people in congress make their money. I'd be more angry about most of the other ways.
She’s also worth 21 million dollars now, when she entered congress she was worth less than half a million. Her stock trading game has rivaled Nancy Pelosi’s since she entered office. This should be the bigger scandal. It’s not because it bipartisan.
Honestly, —assuming there’s no fuckery here, which in fairness is a bold assumption— I kind of respect the resignation. She fucked us, got her bag, and fucked off. That’s far better than her becoming a fixture of Washington for the next 50 years.
Even your tiny modicum of respect for her behavior is exactly what's wrong with everything right now.
This acceptance of institutional raiding for the sake of individual material gain has completely eroded any sort of civic reprisal. These actions are inherently antisocial and yet we have people praising folks who "got their bag".
America deserves what it's getting.
Her stock trading game has rivaled Nancy Pelosi’s
I don't know how Pelosi became this issues poster child, other than normal Republican boogie-man creators. She's bad, don't get me wrong, but far from the worst.
Here's a look at the top 10 for 2024:
David Rouzer (R-N.C.), Representative, +149.0%
Debbie Schultz (D-Fla.), Representative, +142.3%
Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Senator, +123.8%
Roger Williams (R-Texas), Representative, +111.2%
Morgan McGarvey (D-Ky.), Representative, +105.8%
Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.), Representative, +98.6%
Pete Sessions (R-Texas), Representative, +77.5%
Susan Collins (R-Maine), Senator, +77.5%
David Kustoff (R-Tenn.), Representative, +71.5%
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Representative, +70.9%
I can't tell if her grift got bigger, or if she realized the people serving her kool-aid aren't drinking it.
Probably both.
Woman experiences leopards eating her face while live streaming it.
Not really, I think shes just trying to save face.
Oh, now those are problems.
They’re only rhetorical problems. When it comes to taking steps to address them, anyone affected needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
"Typical of Republican men telling a woman to ‘shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat."
Wait, so as far as I understand she wants the sexism removed from republican party but wants all the other stuff like racism and bigotry to remain? I am sorry dear, they come as a package, drown in the shit hole that you fought so hard to protect.
Wait til you hear what the Latino republicans want, and the gay republicans… Turns out the bigotry party has bigots of all flavors
Ive got a (out) gay republican racist cousin. They sure are something.
She does seem to genuinely believe in protecting kids… But she has an extremely warped idea of what that entails. The Epstein thing has been an obvious wedge between her and Trump, because it’s one thing she has dug her heels in and refused to drop. Because (again) she does at least seem to care about protecting kids. And she sees the Epstein stuff as an obvious “if you protect the files, you’re protecting pedos” signal flare. Broken clocks, I suppose. At least she has shown that she hasn’t been willing to budge on this one specific issue.
So far this schadenfreude is really good.
Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen?
I wish this vile woman would take a long tour of the Acme anvil factory on floor cleaning day.
May rat kings infest her home and plumbing
She's still a racist sack of shit and this is another FAFO. Zero sympathy and get lost.
In recent months, the GOP Congresswoman has publicly broken with her party over the war in Gaza, health care subsidies, and the handling of the Epstein Files.
What exactly led her to choose the Republican party?
She is extremely racist and homophobic
And also not very smart, or good at things. It was an easy choice.
She's good at grifting and stock trading on privileged information
I really hope that she is immediately plunged into irrelevancy when she leaves office. Id prefer to never have to hear her speak or see her over bleached teeth again, if possible.
