I think she should stay loyal to here fascist leader so she can sink with him.  Fact of the matter is, she's still who she has been all along.  Odd that some people think she's magically been changed into a little angel.  Don't be fooled or taken with magical thinking.

I think it’s important when we see cracks in support. Especially in *this* world. She sucks, but she’s right and he’s being weird about this. 

Extrapolate this out to broader MAGA. It explains why Trumps support is waning. And it’s important that this ideology loses is concentrated momentum. This is good if you hate fascism. 

I agree... Ultimately, we want the MAGA cultists to see the light, right? As they do, it's not going to help anything to bash them over the heads with what they did. I will personally never find it in myself to take an ex-MAGA seriously, but Dems as a whole have to be willing to be civil to and on some level accepting of the MAGAs who leave the cult.... I feel like they need to be handled like anybody else who escapes a cult. They joined in the first place because they were scared and vulnerable one way or another, and were offered a way to belong. I don't think the best way to deal with such people is to tell them, "fuck you, you idiot, you're irredeemable!" They'll just turn back to the cult, or join a new one. Ex-MAGAs are going to have to be handled delicately if the Dems want to turn shit away from crazy at all. That doesn't mean they have to suddenly like ex-MAGAs or think they're decent people, but they do have to manage them appropriately and play it smart.

The first step to recovery is for the cultists to acknowledge that they were in a cult. Then they need to acknowledge and apologize for the damage they have inflicted on democracy and the ‘Murican people. After that, and this is particularly true of the donors and elected representatives, they need to go sit in the corner facing the wall and reflect on all of it for a good long time. Then and only then may they maybe be redeemed. Folks like Maggie Three Names and all of those MAGA sycophants need to resign from public office, be banned from holding public office and never be heard from again. Kinda like Tonya Harding and Richard Jewell. They’re traitors to the nation and democracy.

The rules have changed and it’s time to start playing by them and not relying on the “norms” and “precedents” that used to act as guardrails. I’m afraid that the damage done is lasting and permanent and that “normal” will not be attainable.

Yeah, but they aren't going to do that (though MTG did just apologize on CNN for participating in the hateful rhetoric). So now what?

Have you seen the price of theater tickets? And how the audiences behave? I’ll rummage through the boxes and find the old 8mm reels and watch the family films of when ‘Murikkka was great. Hope the vacuum tubes and bulbs still work.

And now with all of the assigned seating, you can't even theater hop anymore.

Those seats are so comfortable I’ve fallen asleep the last two times I’m done paying to go and sleep in a crowded theater 🤷‍♂️

MTG is just doing damage control now that she's lost trump and in danger of losing maga. She's looking for a home. a nutjob like that doesn't just "see the light".

DONT LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT! Now, go sit in the corner, face the wall, and think about what you’ve done, what you’ve contributed to and the damage you’ve caused. GOOD RIDDANCE!

Looking forward to CCOOTWH’s scathing tweets to rub it in.

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to resign in January

Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Friday she will be resigning from office in January.

“I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026,” Greene said in a statement.

She made the announcement in a post on social media just days after her public falling out with President Donald Trump. The president had rescinded his support for his one-time staunch ally and said he’d support a primary challenge against her.

this is a miscalculation on her part. she should ride it out. trump is at his worst favorability of all time right now. his endorsement is the kiss of death. she would probably win even if she got primaried.

I gather this wasn't a sudden decision. She's been complaining about the job for months. How nothing in washington gets done, the toxicity (uh, hello?) and all that. This isn't surprising to me. I actually thought she was going to resign last spring.

Resigning with 5 years 2 days of service making her eligible for Congressional pension

Which I wonder what it is as I thought I read the max was 80% of average of previous 3 years and with 25 years of service? Some sort of a sliding scale based on years of service. Regardless, I’m sure it’ll provide well back in the holler.

Her whole family is probably being credibly threatened with death, forcing her to resign for the safety of her loved ones, because that's how MAGA rolls.
