Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced on Friday that she is resigning from her seat, following weeks of clashing with Donald Trump.
“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,” Greene said in a statement posted to social media.
So i guess she wasn’t committed to being a better person
Hopefully they strip her of her pension like she stripped people of their benefits.
Her quitting makes no sense unless she was secretly visited by Trump related minions whose threats caused her genuine fear.
It makes perfect sense if she wants to start focusing on her senate/presidential plans. And she is. And she will run.
She was. She talked about that last week.
Wonder if it has anything to do with the Jan6 capital bombing attempt.
How are the chances that Trump pissed off enough people in Georgia that a Democrat could take over?
Georgia’s 14th district has a Cook Partisan Voting Index is R+19. That means that if the Republican candidate for President gets 45% nationwide, then the vote is expected to be 64% in that district.
Normally, an R+19 district would be untouchable for Democrats. Probably wouldn’t even run a candidate, and if they do, it’d be a strategic move to force the GOP to spend money on what should be a gimme. I met a woman once who ran in a race like that, and it ain’t a fun job.
That said, Democrats overperformed in the recent elections to close to that number, so it’s not out of reach.
And then the democrats lost every single shred of support by caving on the shutdown.
dear klanmom, why wait?
sincerely, humanity
LOL I think this is MTG playing the game like Trump - this is a tantrum, a threat, like a girlfriend who threatens to break up with you. It gets your attention - that is the true objective of this. She ain’t done with politics. She’s making a move here.
She’s got that BPD cunning, like a ferret or a raccoon. Dumb as a bag of hammers but with an innate knack for manipulation and scheming nature, willing to shred or set fire to anything in her path to get whatever shiny trinket she wants.
What does ‘BPD cunning’ mean? Are you referring to bipolar disorder?
Sorry, borderline personality disorder
When you suddenly realize how disposable you are to the cult if you dispute the word of their deity…
I’m sure it’s to go make more money being awful elsewhere.
You thinking Fox or our America news?
She’ll just go independent on YouTube trying to ride the same wave Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are cruising.
I was thinking consultant for some shit corporation that she helped give tax breaks to while in office.
Yeah, she has superpac evil energy is spades.
The suddenness, her “excuse” about not being liked, and feuding with Trump?
I dunno. I smell one of two scenarios:
- She was in it for the grift and can’t go any further for the work it takes.
- Her life is being threatened.
Edit: if someone was in her position and TRULY cared about the American people, she would fight for them and against Trump’s team. That’s why I think choice 2 is what is really happening.
#2 is obviously the case, we knew several days ago when Trump’s comments about her resulted in a drastic increase in threats.

Yes, exactly. The whole spending more time with family line seems like she’s trying to hint at this.
She could be running for president, or getting a job as a pundit somewhere.
We’re still 3 years out from a presidential election. Her current position goes through the end of next year. Leaving a public position in the middle of a term this far out is not a helpful move for a presidential run. She had wanted to run for Senate, but PEDOnald said no
it could be both, really.
That she’s in it for the grift AND is being threatened.
Por que no los dos
I have the impression she either realized or was told/shown how the Trump admin plans to stay in power forever, plus all the economic lies, and this disheartened her to a great extent.
On top of that the pushback from trump, and most likely her receiving covert threats to stay out of the way, is what also made her come to this decision.
I am curious if her stepping down will stick in the long run.
It’s number 1.
She’s ridden the ride long enough to do speaking engagements and political commentary for as long as she can remain entertaining. Also book deals, but that depends if she can scare up a ghostwriter who’s willing to attach their name to her.
The whole point of ghost writing is the don’t need to have the name attached lol
There’s more to this story. There is some information we don’t know about yet.
Or she’s going to try to run for Senate and wants to lie low for a bit to cool down emotions
She’s definitely angling for something bigger, maybe president.
maybe president.
jesus h that would be a bad timeline
Empress of the World would be my guess.
“I have information that will lead to the resignation of Majorie Taylor Greene”
Yeah this makes little to no sense right now. Whatever we do t know is much more than whatever we do know.
If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans,
Wait til she realizes MAGA was always a grift by elites to get votes and support and they never cared for the “Real Americans™.”
I thought it was strange that she didn’t consider MAGA to be neocons.
This is because DEMOCRATS are so VIOLENT!
One thing I know by now, no one in power in the House or Senate (or SCOTUS, etc) ever willingly relinquishes that power, only leaves by death or threat of death – there are very very few cases for other reasons and those only by people who have the ability to overcome their ego and see it as the right thing to do, which is not the case here.
A lot of the old-school repubs who were driven out when MAGA took over the GOP, pretended like they chose to not run again for various reasons, but some of them later revealed they feared for their lives. This regime doesn’t fuck around, cross the Don(ald) and you’re out, try to defy that order and you’re told what will happen to you and/or your family if you do.
A bit of a performative flounce this. If resigning, resign. Instead she gets to play the martyr role just in time for the religious season.
From elsewhere, I’ve heard she’ll be fully vested in congressional retirement at the exact date she’s resigning.
2 days before her resignation date she becomes eligible.
Yeah, this smells
Are there still mods here? There like 4 or 5 these posts posts today alone.
