I can't stand her and i've written that on many occasions.
HOWEVER,,,,
Just a tidbit for the 1% thinking population out there that understands, you sacrifice pawns to get to the Kings and Queens.
MTG has started to speak against Trump, *partially* because - LIKE I'VE SAID ---many "Red" districts - are poorer.
Trump is threatening retaliation.
And many times he gets it, succeeds, punishes the miscreant and reminds other Repubs: Fall in behind Trump, or else.
NOW.....
Imagine if DEMOCRATS, yes, people like YOU ----out loud and proud said "we support MTG". Send in $20 checks. Promise that MTG will NOT have a Democrat challenger and do all you can to help her win.
Boom.
If you truly are worried about "democracy"! You just showed OTHER congressmen and Senators that there *is* life after Trump.
Or, keep doing it your way. Which ain't that bad. Look, soon you'll win back the White House and some Red State Senator will guide your agenda for you. Sound familiar?
"No Kings" is all Sheeple bullshit for losers who don't want results, but want to jerk each other off online.
What i am suggesting - is a full frontal defense of democracy, and offense against forces arrayed against said democracy.
I don't believe there will be one taker :) So, i return you to status quo

She, and some other GOP sorts are chafing at Trump trying to keep his involvement with Epstein covered up too.
Will MAGA realize they have been played by yet another rich guy, whose primary interest is taking from them, to enrich himself?

Didn't the switch happen after she and her kids visited? She probably had been listening to it, read the room of her constituency and altered course for a bigger base and different office. Now she needs seasoning. She's using Ken Sorbo as an advisor.

All sorts of chatter floating around. Boebert's personal talking to, in the "situation room" by the AG and FBI head. Reportedly, Nancy Mace has been ducking Trump's phone calls. Trump is desperate to keep his involvement under wraps. But he's ordering a wider investigation, by having the DoJ go after the Dems that were involved. Trump could be so self centered that he doesn't realize he was just another stupid horn-dog that got caught in a Mossad honey pot. His wider investigation could expose the entire operation. Watch carefully for Trump to, suddenly, drop the investigation of his enemy's involvement, if anyone dares tell him what was really going on. Maybe a secure phone call from his great buddy "Bibi"? ("listen, you dumb cluck. you're investigation may blow the cover off a decades long Israeli intelligence operation. trust me. you don't want to do that")
Oh, speaking of "Bibi", someone was wondering why there has been no more reporting about Gaza. A few days ago, the Beeb reported that satellite photos show about 1500 more buildings in Gaza, have been destroyed since the "cease fire" started.

Trump rescinds support for Marjorie Taylor Greene, marking major political breakup
President Donald Trump announced Friday he is officially rescinding his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and attacked her in personal terms, while the congresswoman countered that Trump was trying to make an example of her to prevent the release of files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Trump said in a post to social media, adding that Greene, who is running for reelection in 2026, has “gone Far Left.”
He added: “She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/trum...Lots more at the link.

The MTG thing is about her Senate run. Georgia has *2* democrat Senators, neither particularly noteworthy, and both are vulnerable for GOP pickups.
MTG wants one of those seats.
Trump wants a reasonable ally in the Senate and not another Rand Paul or equivalent grandstander.
There's nothing more beyond it than that. MTG's lane is the rabble-rousing attack dog. She's trying to learn the art of rebranding when you want the next higher level job but she's out over her skis a bit.

Tip: When you write or say "Democrat Senators" or "Democrat Party", you sound like you are childishly mimicking the nitwit-fleecing bloviators who dominate right-wing media.
To be fair, though, you also sound like that when you don't write or say those things.

Addressing a gathering of Michigan Republicans in 1889, New Hampshire Republican Congressman Jacob H. Gallinger said:
The great Democrat party, laying down the sceptre of power in 1860, after ruling this country under free trade for a quarter of a century, left our treasury bankrupt, and gave as a legacy to the Republican party, a gigantic rebellion and a treasury without a single dollar of money in it.[21]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet)#19th_century

Lambo i've said it and i repeat:
If the he/him Coastal Yelp moms aren't in charge of the Democrats and the nominee is a Clintonesque or even obama type platform - i'm in.
But in the meantime, i'm just saying that if people aren't just writers on line and truly want to "help democracy", part of that is giving aid and comfort to defectors. And - make an example for future defectors that their seats, money, influence, won't be toast.

So, a four way split: the "all for the "JCs"" Repubs, vs the "antisemitic goober" Repubs, vs the "all for the "JCs"" Dems, vs the "democratic socialist" Dems?

Your conclusion, and you have every right to:
"I'm not willing to endorse a harmless idiot, help her win, so that others might be emboldened to rebel against Trump.....this way i'm willing to help Trump have an easier time build his ballroom and shit on the Capitol. Jewish space lasers are more important to me than beating Trump and i've done a good job so far, i helped the man win twice"
I disagree, but i salute and respect your opinion.
ALL I'M SAYING- pretend --- Trump is in his golf cart right now, with you peoiple funding his trip and his security. And he gets on his Truth Social and sees that MTG got a 100% guarantee of Democrat support. And now Ted Cruz is jumping ship also. And 2 unamed GOP Senators are close to doing the same" - -- Trump would shit eggrolls on his own golf course.
But, he's got Liberals protecting him.....he'll shit in his gold toilets instead.

MTG only served a purpose for the MSM and the ProGlibs if she could say or do something eccentric (albeit irrelevant in any meaningful way)which would then be assigned to Trump as part of the MSM/Dem political psyops program.
Since they have essentially renounced each other, that tactic is no longer available. Thus MTG no longer serves any purpose to the MSM and Dems. Going forward she will be getting little if any Dem or MSM attention, since she never did anything substantively newsworthy in the first place, and is unlikely to do so in the future.

Thus MTG no longer serves any purpose to the MSM and Dems. She can represent the Christian fanatic, antisemitic, wing of the party, vs Trump's performative Christianity and all-in pro-Israel stance. Trump had a hard time walking that line between the two factions on the last go around.

Steve,
Your obsession with the worldwide Jewish/Israel/Mossad conspiracy cause you to miss my point entirely, which is: Now that MTG cannot be tied to Trump, since he has disowned her, MTG serves no purpose to the MSM or the Democrat Party.
The MSM and Democrats don't need MTG to bolster their virulently anti-Semitic base.
They have plenty of Hamas-loving apologists, they don't need MTG.
