Senate vote fails again as shutdown becomes one of the longest in US history
The US government shutdown extended into its 20th day on Monday with no resolution in sight, as a prominent Republican lawmaker publicly broke ranks with party leadership over the decision of Mike Johnson, the House speaker, to keep Congress shuttered for weeks.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a representative of Georgia, on Monday morning criticized Johnson’s strategy, calling on the House to return to session immediately.
“The House should be in session working,” Greene wrote on X. “We should be finishing appropriations. Our committees should be working. We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent. I have no respect for the decision to refuse to work.”
Did she suddenly discover she has a gay cousin or something?
Wtf is with this turn-around?
She wants the Epstein files released so she can ride the negative sentiment to a position more prominent in party leadership.
She wants the Epstein files released because she thinks the secret codes to the Jewish space lasers are in there somewhere. I also think antisemitism explains her willingness to call out Israel for genocide (which, like, to be clear, shouldn't be an antisemitic stance at all, but MGT is a dumb hateful removed who thinks every single Jewish person is in on some massive conspiracy to rule the whole world so of course she stupidly folds the real crimes of Israel and Epstein into that bullshit).
No doubt, but how that motivation has separated from the unquestionable support of Trump is what is the most worthy hair. She is certainly the only one so truly and faithfully to stick to her alleged motives of Epstein transparency, and she has certainly the only one currently who has stuck to that, despite how it may be betray Trump’s current agenda.
And that’s why we’re having this conversation. Welcome to now.
She's a true believer, and doesn't understand why all the grifters aren't marching onward with the crusade. She probably legitimately believes the Epstein files exonerate Trump.
I have a graduate degree in psychology, and I still don’t fucking get what motivates this type of person…
Like, I get it, but she is a fucking special case. A very special case.
What the hell is going on here?
I’m afraid that even trying to figure out may, in fact, drive me insane.
She did say she wants to make Trump's EOs law, so she still being a worthless cunt.
She said it herself, her kids' insurance rates will go up. That's money out of her pocket, therefore bad, therefore we should reconvene the house to prevent it.
Guess she should have been born a billionaire like a smart Republican
Yeah, this is weird. Her being one of the most "reasonable" republican even more concerning to me. I know they a screwed up, but when they go so far that she isn't willing to go....
She probably wants to run in a state wide position, and therefore needs to appeal to a broader set of people. I doubt she's had some change of heart.
She positioning herself to run for president in 2028, by distancing herself from certain issues, like the Epstein Files.
The Russian money ran out, probably.
Honestly, it's very possible that someone close to her told her that trump actually sucks.
If someone whose opinion she valued explained why trump was awful, without pivoting to supporting the lesser-evil democrats, she's compelled to listen to reason to avoid becoming the politician that these people hate.
This might come as a shock to you all, but a lot of conservatives are conservative because they recognize the Party of Clintons does not have their interests at hand. Democrats would have better results in elections if they ran more candidates like Bernie Sanders, but they don't want to pay more in taxes so we end up with the Clintons and a culture war.
