***BREAKING*** Marjorie Taylor says GOP men in Congress are 'weak'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) spent part of last week fielding angry texts from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana).

She posted on social media that the Senate should abolish the 60-vote filibuster threshold so senators can end the government shutdown with just Republican votes. “He told me they can’t do it and it’s math,” Greene said.

As with many things Johnson says these days, Greene disagreed.

“I sent him the article about them doing it yesterday,” she said, referring to the Senate changing its own rules to confirm a large group of nominees on a single vote. “I said, ‘They just did it.’” (Johnson told reporters on Friday that he called her and they had a “good discussion” as “colleagues and friends.”)

I think of the Rolling Stones song 'Monkey Man'.....she's a monkey woman, in every way, shape and form. Never change MTG ya clown. I loathe Mike Johnson and think it's sweet justice he has to deal with her. He deserves that and more.

They won't, even though GOOPers have the clear majority. So that they can "pwn the libs."

“There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women,” Greene said.


Is she positioning (posturing) for a POTUS run?

She’s torching the speaker’s shutdown strategy in cable news interviews, siding with Democrats to call for extensions to health care subsidies, and supporting an effort both Johnson and President Donald Trump oppose to force a vote on releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.


Hell hasn't frozen over by a long shot, but it might be a few degrees cooler these days.

and while some of the nuttier ones might agree with part of what you say, most of them don't want to be associated too closely with anyt lunatic who is not currently occupying the Oval Office.

Bottom line: you
re not a visionary leader, you're just plain nuts.

C'mon Linda McMahon - put together "Madge the ass-kicker" against Mikey "Moses" Johnson - 3 falls out of 5. Make it one of them matches where they can' crawl out of the ring BUT ---

Either one can call on their Gawd to do some smiting! Some biblical smiting!

...if maybe Marjorie has come to understand that the abuse she suffered as a young woman really wasn't her fault and she came to a realization that it is wide spread and wrong. Now, I have no knowledge of her experiencing sexual abuse as a young woman, but statically speaking, it is a good possibility.
This is just me trying to understand a human reaction that, on the outside doesn't seem to make sense.
Whatever the reason for the change I respect her for pushing the truth on Epstein. Do I trust her to continue in politics? Oh hell no. But I'm not going to criticize her for criticizing the GOP . 🤷🏼🌎✌🏼

people can still evolve!

Maybe by getting out into the wider world, she has been exposed to other, great ideas....

One can only hope!

Does that mean that a certain pedo narcissist could evolve too?




Nah!!!

Republicans -- they only go against cuts that affect them personally. Because it would affect them personally is why rethugs won't touch Soc Sec or Medicare willingly, only if their donors force them to.

MTG isn't reasonable. She's not changing at all. She's just a selfish fundamentalist fakeass christian.
