Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigning

@#5 ... Did MTG see some polling in her own district ...

Found this ...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene voters say they're sticking with her, despite the Trump feud
www.nbcnews.com

... What hasn't happened may be the most noteworthy part of the drama: Greene's voters don't appear to have repudiated her even though she's now a target of Trump's ire. ...

@#6

I still hold my opinion, that she may be looking for a higher office than Representative. At first I had thought maybe a Senator of Georgia or the Governor of Georgia.

But, I cannot shake the feeling that she is looking nationally ...

#6 #7 Thanks. Good food for thought. Much appreciated.

#7 My nephew was interested in pursuing a career in sports broadcasting, preferably in front of a camera.

When he found out that, across this great land, there are just a small number of on-air sports broadcasters in the smaller markets, and an even smaller number in the mid- to large-sized television markets, he changed majors.

He ended up pursuing a career behind the camera, instead.

MTG may have national political aspirations, but the field is narrow, very, very narrow.

And, national political aspirations allow for the most minimum of mistakes along the way to be successful.

Which is why, nationally, the number of positions to which someone may aspire is small, and the number of successful candidates along the way even smaller.

Very small.

I cannot shake the feeling that she is looking nationally ...

First woman Republican President? Some strong headwinds there.

@#9 .. MTG may have national political aspirations, but the field is narrow, very, very narrow. ..

A good analogy regarding your nephew. I wish him the best in his career behind the camera.

But yeah, national political aspirations are always fraught with a rapidly diminishing field of candidates.

At this point, I am more of the "time will tell" opinion.

... and I'm stocking up on popcorn ...

YMMV.

Could she be resigning to flip the seat blue?? Just curious.

#11 Orville Redenbacher and I are sympatico with you, vis-a-vis stocking up on popcorn.

Plus, we're pulling an extra tug on our seatbelts... rough seas and potholes and wind shear ahead.

#12 Not very likely, but one can always dream! :-) Feeling a bit Don Quijote these days, Laura.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
A late (1969) Flower Power 60's rebellion genre English hit. Produced by Pete Townshend of The Who, who also played bass guitar on the recording. ...

[Verse 1]
Call out the instigators
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here,
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Hand out the arms and ammo
We're gonna blast our way through here
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Wow, that was pretty extreme, even for the late 1960's. But the Country survived n spite of that British tune.

#15 One of favs. It was the ending song for the movie "The Magic Christian".

... On November 21st, 1942, Keyboardist Andy "Thunderclap" Newman was born in Isleworth, Middlesex, England. Together with Speedy Keen on vocals and drums and Jimmy McCulloch on guitar, Newman made up the band Thunderclap Newman. They are best known for their hit song, "Something In the Air". ...

Happy Birthday Andy "Thunderclap" Newman. And thank-you for that great tune. R.I.P.

She can go back to her old job of being Dog the bounty hunters stunt double.

The MAGA't civil war is staring to be delicious.

@#18 ... the MAGA't civil war ...

I disagree.

imo, it is not a civil war at this point.

It is a political war.

And how might that political war wind up?

Too soon to tell, imo.

The voters seem to be having regrets about the votes they have cast in 2024 (that could be an understatement). The 2025 election results seems to show that, in spades.

Will that regret carry on to November 2026?

imo, too soon to tell.

But stay tuned ...

3-toed Sloth Quits Before Assassination.

She isn't the only GOP Rep doing this. I could suggest three or four reasons for this, but the primary one is that the rank and file now perceive that:

1) The Epstein files talk about that thirteen-year-old girl Trump raped

2) Trump's efforts to fix the 2026 elections won't work, and there will be MAGA blood an inch deep in the streets next November

3) That they want to preserve their future chances for a career, political or otherwise.

4) I wish I could say that these people at last found their souls, but I am afraid that ship sailed.

I guess that I did provide three or four reasons after all. If this Trum/MAGA nightmare is ever finally over, the people of the United States are going to have to take a good and hard look at themselves and decide why it was so damned easy to let their dark side out the way they did. The way the Germans did after World War II.

What Donald Trump is was always so obvious. I don't think that it was simple ignorance that let this man have power. It was something a lot more fetid than that.

But I get ahead of myself. There may still be a Trump Gotterdamerung stage. I hope that we are at least smart enough and good enough to avoid that.

the people of the United States are going to have to take a good and hard look at themselves

I don't see that happening.

Sorry to be a pessimist, but people capable of self reflection and being able to blame themselves rightly for their own failures...

Don't vote for a demagogue you can see from space 2-3 times.

Was she credibly threatened with Violence or Death?

Trump supporters ARE Violent.

She was starting to grow as a person. She renounced the lockstep "Support" for Israel. Made Enemies in high places by doing so.

She was in favor of Universal Health care.

I never liked her but this is a strange development.

She's actually not just a Toad.

MAGA is Imploding.

Trumps Death would be a Blessing for humanity and the world.

From AOC...
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1"2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

She was reviled by the left for years and felt perfectly safe.

Then she was hated by the right for a few days and she had to hire extra security because of all the threats and then quit congress.

"A logical candidate would be the prolific far-right ---------- Laura Loomer, who, when not undergoing plastic surgery to resemble a Guy Fawkes mask, has been locked in a battle royal with Marge for Donald Trump's affections. Not since Betty and Veronica vied for Archie's heart have blonde and brunette cartoon characters fought so viciously over someone orange."

How long until Trump starts locking up former Allies?

The Counter Revolution is just getting started.

Trump's power base is Narrow. Mostly fellow travelers.

If they stop seeing him as the big JuJu?

He will become the lamest of lame ducks.

A Dead Duck.

And most Americans won't Care.

May even be Relieved.

-She's going to by running against Ted Cruz and Shady JD for President in 2028... if there's even an Election.

She has to raise a lot of money. Not sure any of the sugar daddies want anything to do with her.

Trump won't live forever.

What Then?

That's the problem with All cults of Personality.

Succession.

MAGA will Eat itself.

Congress is better off without it her.

From AOC...
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1 - 2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

MTG Wealth: "I Got Mine, Suckers, GFY!"

I trust this young divorcee will live long enough to enjoy her generous congressional pension and $20 million dollars.

"That's the problem with All cults of Personality." - EFFORTTRAITOR

Yet, you support Vlad the Mass Murderer over Ukraine's right to a democracy? You write with forked tongue.

I think it's possible that MTG got a threat from the top after she threatened to spill all the names on the House floor. She should probably stay away from upper floor windows and stairwells for awhile.

She's pretty tough.

They better send the Big Boys if they try that.

She might put Them out the window.

She's picked January 5th, two days after she'd eligible to collect her pension and lifetime health insurance benefits.

Not exactly a principled resignation, is it?

I'll admit her resigning wasn't on my Bingo card. My $$ is she's thinking a couple moves ahead on the Who Wears The Crown When Epstein Eats The King? MAGA lottery, and covers her tracks playing the Canary in the Coal Mine to "normalize" her 4/8chan worldview.

Sporkfoot heads for the hills after getting death threats from MAGA filth. What courage.

Sporkfoot? I've never heard her be called that before. It sounds kinda funny.

Death threats aren't part of the job description.

Especially after she was a faithful supporter for years and her votes showed it.

MAGA is eating its own.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

Trump accepts NO criticism or independence of thought.

It will be his Undoing.

When MAGA turns on him he will be Cescescued.

A Prediction.

Trump has Unleashed forces he can't control.

He's not the first.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
This Paul McCartney-esque ballad was released as the final single off of the band's sophomore album. The track features gospel-inspired organs as lead singer Tony Scalzo sings about a past relationship, and how he's stupid for doing "bad things" during it. The song was a moderate hit, charting at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The track is most notable in recent years for Huston rapper Machine Gun Kelly's song "Bad Things", whose chorus interpolates this song's chorus, sung by former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello. In a recent interview with Billboard, Scalzo reacted positively towards the use of the sample.

[Verse]
Sometimes I feel like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of possibility, however it may roll
Give it a spin, see if you can somehow factor in
You know there's always more than one way
To say exactly what you mean to say

[Chorus]
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find

Don't matter what I say, only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
So quiet, but I finally woke up
If you're sad, then it's time you spoke up, too
...
