Greene rebukes Trump administration's multibillion-dollar bailout for Argentina

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) sharply criticized the Trump administration on Thursday for seeking to provide as much as $40 billion in financing for Argentina to help the Latin American ally stabilize its turbulent financial markets.

Greene — a staunch Trump ally who’s bucked her party on numerous issues in recent weeks — argued Argentina should not benefit from taxpayer dollars while Americans are struggling back at home. She said that’s antithetical to the “America First” agenda.

“Americans are getting decimated with high cost of living and skyrocketing insurance costs. Many of them have zero savings and some are maxing out credit cards to survive,” Greene wrote in a post on the social platform X.

“Tell me how it’s America First to bailout a foreign country with $20 [billion] or even $40 BILLION taxpayer dollars,” she added.

2. Jeez!!

I never thought that I would EVER agree with MT Greene.

She has, lately, been sticking it to Been A Dick Donald and his toadies, which surprises the shit out of me.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend........for now.

5. I wonder if she sees the writing on the wall...

MTG is a morally bankrupt human being, but she also seems to be a very savvy politician. She seems very in tune with the MAGA mindset in particular, so I can't help but wonder if she is seeing things from an insider perspective that signal a shift in MAGA's approval of Trump. She is sniffing the wind and realizes it's shifting. Because I don't feel she really cares about "America First", she cares about her career.

Perhaps she is the canary in the coal mine for the GOP.

8. That's exactly what I'm thinking.

MT Greene doesn't do anything unless it benefits her.

4. Carving out a space for post-F47 ultranationalist reactionaries with herself at or near the top

She's listening to some solid advice, and could become a formidable opponent in the future if she can recast herself as a serious person rather than a lunatic evil clown (yeah I know, let's call it a "stretch goal" if you like).

9. At this point it's clear that being perceived as a

lunatic evil clown, does not preclude someone from getting elected president in this country.
It may even help.

6. Well, one thing you can say for her is that she seems to have more principles than most contemporary republicans.

7. Well, someone should.

10. Wouldn't it be something if she became so disillusioned with the repig party

that she switched to the Democratic Party and took it to the Repig Party?
A person can dream.

11. Goddamn right! 'America First'?? NO--- they're taking away my food to

send billions to Argentina, and give more money to US billionaires who don't need it---

(but they count on these billionaires for campaign contributions, so
'The Big Horrible Bill' was in fact a form of money laundering--
sending more money to the uber-rich that would come back to the Republican terrorist organization!)
