"SNIP......

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told the New York Times that if Republicans win back the majority in the House, she’d have “a lot of power.”

If not, she made a veiled threat to House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Said Greene: “I think that to be the best speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway. And if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it.”

She added: “I think that’s the best way to read that. And that’s not in any way a threat at all. I just think that’s reality.”

1. Sure sounds like a threat to me...

but I'm convinced she's a unique blend of crazy, stupid, and arrogant.

2. Yes, a threat.

3. She's probably not wrong.

She represents the base far more than a jagoff like McCarthy.

It will be a living Hell when these imbeciles take over.

4. I plan on disconnecting from all politics for awhile

if the Republicans take the House. I’m on outrage overload and can’t take much more without a good, long, break.

5. I know. All these talking heads n experts

Foretelling the future complete w/ gloom in n doom gets to be too much. I am interested in the midterms but not the drama n it’s gonna be a great day w/ tfg gets his due. Until then, I wish they’d report the news n not make it.
