I think it goes further than that: she is threatening us with a good time.
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.
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?
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.
I thought Sarah Palin was extreme. Greene makes her look like a Democrat.
I could see it.
It’s like nobody ready the article. It says she’s considering challenging Kemp in a primary for Georgia Governor because he’s not defending Trump.
Edit: apparently I can read better - she wants to run against Kemp in the primary when he runs for Senate, not Governor.
But Kemp's serving his second term as Governor. He can't run again unless he waits 4 years after he's out of office. Which will be in 2026. EmptyG would have a whole another term as a congresswoman before we vote on the governor
I also didn't read the article, but are you sure that's what it said?
Ah, I slightly misread - she wants to run against him in the primary when he runs for Senate. I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out.
It's all good. I think the bot kind of messed up the summary too.
If he does run for senate, I'll do my best to keep him out. We've got two great senators right now, I don't think he can beat either one. But who knows, it's all going to come down to messaging.
This woman deserves to be indicted for her participation in Jan 6.
We never did find out about the tours or the pipe bombs.
Remember when MTG stood for Magic: The Gathering? I 'member.
Well, if she's no longer elected, then it can still be.
Can you elaborate?
Clickbait title much? It's because she's considering a Senate run or being Trump's VP.
~~The summary bot has Georgia governor (primary anyway).~~ apparently wrong.
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. And whatever he runs for he's almost certain to get.
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.
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.
The headline made me think this was going to be good news.
Hopefully she goes away forever
It’s a clickbate headline. She’s considering running for a higher office.
She won't. Trump said we'd never hear from again if he lost the election. They crave the spotlight.
IE: 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...
Did her state introduce a literacy test she can't pass?
Or will she refuse because reading all those erotic stories would be a sin.
She's eyeing the vp for Trump
Trunt.
This 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!
Time to cash in
she may run for the border and not stop til she hits Ecuador
Oh God, stop teasing me like this 🥵
Makes sense, while she's here, who's running hell?
I chuckled.
Satan'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.
This makes me feel sick. I really do think I might expatriate is she somehow becomes VP
