Marjorie Traitor Greene feels strong enough to take on McConnell

1. Freshman member of congress goes toe to toe with McConnell, a Senate leader.

She is either quite foolish, or she knows something we don't.

[TwilightZone]

5. The former.

She has no idea what she's doing or getting herself into. McConnell may be in the other chamber, but he has the connections to make her life a living hell.

I think she's a one-termer and that was probably the plan all along. Act like a psycho for a couple of years, then tour the right-wing media circuit for the next couple decades.

[lame54]

11. No - they all want to hold onto their seats

[TwilightZone]

16. I'm not so sure.

I think she might be trying to get kicked out but the GOP won't agree to get rid of her.

[Blue_true]

29. I am not sure about her. She seems to love being an asshole.

More money in that outside of Congress, like the poster said, going on the rightwing firebrand circuit, visiting big rodeos and gun shows, and of course, setting up a money grift on social media.

[Rebl2]

52. What she

loves is being in the spotlight and getting all of the attention. Had a friend like that in my past.

[Blue_true]

55. Your friend wasn't named Trump by any chance?

[Rebl2]

61. 🤣🤣🤣

Nope a woman in a midwestern red state-oh wait. Most midwestern states are red. Can you guess where I live?

[Blue_true]

62. Indiana? nt

[Irish_Dem]

15. She is quite wealthy, but loves attention and the spotlight.

She is one of those people who thinks she is smarter than every one else.
Everything was handed to her in her life, rich daddy. But she thinks she did it all on her own.
She may not even believe the crap she spouts. She just likes the power and attention.

But yes, she has no idea what McConnell could and would do to her.
No idea at all. She is not like Liz Cheney with connections and friends in high places.

McConnell cannot like the idea of her in congress or on the media circuit for a decade.
We shall see what happens.

[theneworiginal]

21. Just. Like. Trump.

All of it. Your whole post. Plus, she is wielding power she doesn't deserve and she has people catering to her in ways that defy rational politics. Just. Like. Trump.

She is 1st chair Trumpette.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Right, the exact same personality, mental illness, and history.

It worked for Trump. So Margie assumes it will work for her.

[birdographer]

67. Think again, Margie nt

[luvtheGWN]

72. Guessing you must be a band or orchestra member!

Or at least a former one

[dalton99a]

25. Yep, a Trump in heels

[Blue_true]

33. That is the question that I had about her.

She once said that her staff made some type of a social media post, before she even ran. That made me wonder whether she was well off. If she is, hoes to show that money can’t buy class.

[Irish_Dem]

37. Her father had a large construction company.

She lived in Atlanta suburbs and sent her kids to very expensive private schools.
Then she moved to the GA boondocks and ran for office.
It is said she self funded her campaign. After receiving a large Covid handout for PPE.
Then she started a gym and the rumors about her personal behavior show her to be a spoiled rich kid.
Who gets what she wants when she wants it.

Right, she is a trashy Ivanka.

[Blue_true]

44. A large construction company in Atlanta would be significant.

Yes, doubt that she has had to work hard for anything. So living in a fantasy world wouldn’t have the drawbacks that it would for a poor or middle class person.

[Irish_Dem]

48. Exactly, she has been immune from the harsh realities of life.

Daddy handed her everything but she thinks she has accomplished so much.

Edit to add: If any regular person spouted all this crazy talk at work, we would not have jobs.

[niyad]

58. Aren't the last two words redundant?

[Irish_Dem]

60. I stand corrected! She is an Ivanka.

An Ivanka who runs her mouth 24/7.

[WA-03 Democrat]

17. This

She fits the media’s (Facebook/Twitter/Cable News) need for a freak.
Mitch has more much more power in Congress then she will ever have and he will get her in a box.

The fact that MTG supported the attack of Congress makes nothing shocking now.

[Irish_Dem]

41. Right, insurrection, overthrowing the government, terrorizing MOC are now the new normal.

[LudwigPastorius]

77. I don't think people like her, and Trump, have a plan other than to wake up each day and...

spread their assholishness as far and wide as they can.

She's just like her orange idol; narcissistic, head-poundingly stupid, mean, and traitorous.

[Irish_Dem]

79. The similarities with Trump are remarkable.

Yes you could be right.
They have no long term plan other than to be adored and in the spotlight.
And avoid real work as much as possible,

[Bev54]

70. I am wondering if McConnell and some other rep senators

are quietly supporting Nancy and the dems in the house to remove her from the committees.

[Iliyah]

2. Oh well . . .

[theneworiginal]

82. MTG--All sizzle, no steak.

She is all bluster. What has she accomplished for all of her dipshit tirades? She's created a convenient distraction while Joe B crushes it on every level where it really matters--Covid, dismissing Trump loyalists and policies out of hand, public confidence. And what does he say about MTG's committee seats or Trump's Impeachment? Nothing. Won't dignify either. They are irrelevant to the task at hand.

"Talk amongst yourselves while I get this country back together."

MTG has done jack shit. The R's will grow tired of her game as they continue to be outshone by Biden's class and professionalism. Their poll numbers, Trump's numbers and party registrations are in freefall. MTG is the wrong place for them to put their chips.

[Initech]

83. I've got the beer!

[Walleye]

3. I was brought up to believe that losing gracefully is all a part of the game

I mean how does she want him to lose?

[Irish_Dem]

43. She likes to see people fighting and killing when they don't get their way.

You are supposed to get your gun out and start terrorizing, threatening people to make them give you what you want.

[Walleye]

49. I keep thinking if Trump had just conceded Brian Sicknick would still be alive

I can’t imagine how his family must feel.

[Irish_Dem]

50. Yes he would still be alive now. So would the others who died that day.

His family must be crushed. Such a needless death.

[Walleye]

56. That means that trump was directly responsible for those violent deaths

And the worst thing is trump either doesn’t admit to himself he was at fault, or doesn’t care about those peoples lives or both

[Irish_Dem]

57. He simply doesn't care if he causes deaths. It is collateral damage in his quest for power and money

Like the rest of the GOP.

[Walleye]

59. And not a single thought about their grieving families

[dalton99a]

4. She is calling McConnell a cancer

[TwilightZone]

7. That's because he called her ideas a cancer on the party.

She can't even be original with her insults. Most of the time, she just coughs up Trumpisms.

[Cha]

22. Greene thing is Projecting herself

onto mitch.

P.S. they both are.

[WA-03 Democrat]

6. Hey New York Times

Please file this under “Republicans in Disarray!”

[crickets]

35. cc: Politico. nt

[NJCher]

8. Proceed, Congresswoman

eom

[grumpyduck]

9. For once I'm rooting for Moscow Mitch.

[uponit7771]

14. I"m not, I want the republican party ripped apart at the seams. At minimum their leadership has show

... shown America they're not interested in liberal democracy and every eligible person being able to vote ... they can't scream any louder that they're against that very thing.

Screw up, let that party of anti American a-holes die

[grumpyduck]

24. I agree with you, but if he can help get rid of her,

I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[uponit7771]

45. 👍

[Blue_true]

36. Feels strange doesn't it? Both are vipers, so keep your whole body clear. nt

[lame54]

10. She'll rip his shell off

[SMC22307]

65. McConnell's survived DC since the Ford admin.

I'm not convinced Klan of Greene Gables is going to best him.

[Vivienne235729]

84. Klan of Green Gables. I literally laughed out.

[SMC22307]

85. LOL, I did the same when I first saw it on Twitter.

So many clever hashtags for the loony freshman Republicans.

[uponit7771]

12. We should egg her on!!! RIP ... THEM ... APART !!!

[empedocles]

20. Ok with that

[Under The Radar]

13. The party hasn't hit bottom yet, but it is coming rapidly

She will get a primary opponent that is well funded, she will likely get help from Trump and Bannon to raise funds for her.

[dhol82]

32. She had a legitimate opponent. Her electorate decided they liked her better.

[FrankBooth]

38. Her opponent Democratic dropped out of the race in Septermber

She probably would have won anyway in that district, but she basically ran unopposed.

of the race in Septermber

[dhol82]

40. Then I'm thinking of somebody else.

Who was the candidate that had a conservative ophthalmologist (no, not Rand Paul) as her primary opponent?

[subterranean]

66. Her opponent in the primaries was a neurosurgeon.

Staunch conservative and outspoken Trump supporter, but I guess he wasn't extreme enough for the voters there.

[Ohio Joe]

18. Mitch is a snake with venom and malice...

He is not going to get into an online feud. He will quietly stab her in the back as is his MO.

Watching repugs slaughter eachother amuses me

[JDC]

34. McConnell will quietly grind her to dust

She is in for a surprise I think.

[Chainfire]

19. I like to see them squabbling to, but that old gal is working harder at self destruction than anyone

in recent memory. If the Republican party had a soul they would be in a battle for it.

[empedocles]

23. Shalt not interfere too much with her own self imposed self destruction

[theneworiginal]

71. We said the exact same thing about Trump.

Then the cult fell into line.

Kinda what's happening here.

[Andy823]

27. She is doing what trump wants

He is trying to divide the party, and she is helping him. She is being used by trump to piss off anyone who doesn't want him around anymore. This is just the beginning, and it will get worse for the republican party.

In 2022 there will be the Republican Party candidates in the primary running against the trump bat shit crazy candidates, and we will see who wins those primaries. Mitch and the rest of the republicans in DC created the trump monster, and now the monster is coming back to destroy them.

Their civil war should help Democrats, so that's one good thing to look forward to.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. Now that I've (almost) stopped laughing... Release the Big Turtle!

Moscow Mitch may be recalculating the value of Rancid Greene Margarine right this moment.

[marlakay]

30. Mitch will let the democrats take her down

While pretending to be for her.

[Blue_true]

39. I believe you are right.

Mitch and McCarthy want Democrats doing the dirty work of neutralizing that idiot. Then they will turn around an blame Democrats, while winking at each other.

[SharonClark]

74. Exactly!

[ananda]

31. The GOP is seriously imploding...

I can't imagine it surviving as one
viable party.

[Blue_true]

42. We said that when the tea party was in full swing.

There is no free pass, we are going to have to paper over our differences and stay united so that we can slay that monster, else it will live on and morph into something worse.

[ananda]

46. This is different.

Really.

[Blue_true]

47. I hope so, but my defenses will stay up. nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

51. She doesn't give a flying shit about the job of Congressperson

She's got daddy's money. She is not there for any reason but attention and a platform to spew her hate.

[Aviation Pro]

53. This will not end well....

...Republicants are so fucked up. Reminds of a Warren Zevon song.

[Autumn]

54. This is what McConnell had nourished and suckled at his breast. It's his party.

[theneworiginal]

78. I just threw up in my mouth.

Mitch's man boobs, suckling, OMFG!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

63. Coming up after the break, Coup Coup Qruz gives Radical Rubio a wedgie

Margarine Turned Greene will be back as soon as she claws her way out from under The Grim Reaper Turtle's shell.

[CentralMass]

64. McConnell owns every bit of this clusterfuck.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

68. Mitch will probably drink her blood, QAnon-style, with...

... his turtle-beak eventually.

[orangecrush]

76. OMG

[Phoenix61]

69. Wonder how long it will take Twitler to throw

her under the bus because you know he will. At some point in time she will outlive her usefulness to him and under the bus she will go.

[iluvtennis]

73. Like trumpty dumpty, the Q-Anon woman (dubbed by Claire McCaskill)t hinks she is untouchable.

I'll be so happy tomorrow when she is voted off of the Education and Budget committees.

[orangecrush]

75. Good luck with that

Imbecile.

[dlk]

80. Mitch has many powerful connections

And Mrs. McConnell has a few of her own. Greene has no clue what she’s just charged into.

[gldstwmn]

81. They are biding their time with her.
