USA ONEMarjorie Taylor Greene may not run for reelection
AutoTL;DRThis is the best summary I could come up with:
Flamethrowing GOP representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has suggested she might not defend her seat in Congress next fall after two commanding victories in Georgia’s 14th District.
Following comments by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp—who is reportedly weighing a run for the U.S. Senate in 2026—criticizing recent, disproven assertions by Donald Trump that he won the battleground state in 2020, Greene said she might be willing to challenge Kemp in a GOP primary.
Assuming, of course, Trump doesn’t decide to name her as his running mate after winning the Republican presidential nomination.
After publicly breaking with the far-right Freedom Caucus early this year to support the election of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with Trump’s endorsement, Greene has been in lockstep with the former president.
In addition to Greene, Republicans like New York Representative Elise Stefanik and unsuccessful Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake are seen as top contenders along with Florida Representative Byron Donalds, another close Trump ally and a rising GOP star in the House.
Other possible names include South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, a 2024 presidential candidate who has been largely left unscathed by Trump’s withering attacks on his GOP competitors on the campaign trail.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Flying Squid
HeismeDon’t tempt me with a good time.
I think it goes further than that: She is threatening us with a good time.
ikiddIE: she’s been offered a high-paying job fucking something else up in the private sector, probably to as much of the detriment of the human race as scientifically possible.
She literally thinks she's going to be VP...
I don’t even think Republicans are stupid enough to entertain that notion, but I’ve been sadly wrong before when estimating the stupidity of the GOP.
squibletTrump is likely to pick the most horrible person possible, so I assume that she is a contender.
He values high-profile headline makers, and loyal supporters. She unfortunately checks both of those boxes.
TropicalDingdongBro I can tell you rn lady that being Trumps running mate wont end well.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double entendre for Gallows humor, but here we are.
She thinks she’s going to get the VP nod from Trump. As usual, she’s fucking delusional.
Or she’s under investigation for January 6th, I can hope.
Por que no los dos?
…or something like that. My spanish sucks.
It’s direct just need ¿ at the beginning for optimal pedantry.
And some accent marks + tildas
【J】【u】【s】【t】【Z】Do an umlaut.
She can be delusional, correct, and under investigation all at the same time, and it would be far from the weirdest thing she’s been involved in.
I can see the bumper stickers now: “dumb and dumber 2024”
But how will anyone know which is which?
boydsterSimply look for the witch to know which is which!
Just include the faces randomly over each when you mail them out. It’ll be like a fortune cookie as to which one’s going to win at idiocy that day.
Waking up each day wondering which it will be on that day is half the fun.
I could see it.
I thought Sarah Palin was extreme. Greene makes her look like a Democrat.
gabe [he/him]Don’t threaten me with a good time
Yeah, but the reason is even worse. She thinks she’s going to be VP! AAAAAHHHHHHH!
That is like Gomer Pyle being Secretary of Defense
How DARE you insult Gomer Pyle like that!
You apologize RIGHT NOW!!
How did that work out for Sarah Palin?
She’s been on TV a few times, both political commentary and reality TV, and has run for a few elections (and lost them all).
Prolly getting paid more than any average American, all for being a pile of garbage.
Whiskey Pickle“I can see Russia from my house!”
It would make me pine for someone smart and competent like Dan Quayle
Good. Remember when misspelling potato fucker up your chance of political office?
Good times (only sorta).
I recall when Howard Dean destroyed his political career by making one awkward hoot...
finthechatClickbait title much? It's because she's considering a Senate run or being Trump's VP.
The summary bot has Georgia governor (primary anyway).
Brawler YukonThat’s a misread of the article/summary. It’s saying that Kemp (the current GA governor) is talking about a Senate run and MTG would challenge him in a primary for the GOP Senate nomination.
Yeah, somehow I don’t think she’s actually stupid enough to run for governor where she’d actually have to handle anything significant or within this realm of reality. Congressional troll is a better fit for her.
Goddamn I hope she runs for gov.
Kemp is term-limited. He has to sit out from the office for the next term before he can run again, which means he'll probably seek some other office in the meantime.
People talk about GA being a swing state, but it fucking isn't. MAGA doesn't do great statewide, but the GOP has near total control with little contest.
MTG on the ticket is EXACTLY what the GA Dems need to make some serious inroads in statewide elections.
“Swing state” is such a misnomer for any of them. They have one drunk Tuesday and never live it down.
Because pence wasn't bad enough, now the dumb and dumber goblin needs a go.
At least Pence had the decency to stand up to Trump and finalize the votes. I mean he drew the line in the sand just before committing treason, but he at least drew it somewhere. Can’t say the same for a lot of other Republicans right now.
Didn't he already crumble and bend over again?
He’s been helping the investigation and running against Trump. I would say no.
If she goes the VP route, hopefully she ends up a political nobody like that dink from alaska
I don’t think that’s clickbait. I assumed running for a different office was by far the most likely reason before even clicking.
I think it’s going to be Stefanik. Trump doesn’t need help from the right, he needs to pull in the moderate Republicans.
And I think he’s actually too racist to pick Scott. He might phrase it more like “he doesn’t look straight out of Central casting” but that sort of thing is important to him.
I’m still guessing he’ll do a “coalition” ticket with RFK Jr. Everyone behind RFK Jr. is a Trump ally.
Trump was forced to pick up Pence on this same logic. What makes you think he'd let that happen again?
He did win that election.
This presumes rationality that is not there. He's a being of pure emotion. He's not going to repeat the process that brought him a VP that ended up failing the loyalty test.
The Australian rugby association offered her 100k to use here rugby ball shaped head.
TimeSquirrelWhile I despise her as well, you can find plenty of other stuff to make fun of instead of someone's looks. That's an immutable trait.
If her personality is rotted to the core I think it’s okay. It’s not like she’s a nice person. She can take a brick to the face and end up looking better.
It's Maddie!Makes sense, while she’s here, who’s running hell?
iAmTheTotI chuckled.
NeatoSatan's insulted. She's not competent enough to run a wheelbarrow race let alone the largest jobs program in the realms.
Maybe. On the other hand, can you imagine being middle management in her department of hell? That’s a punishment all on its own.
