@MidnightRider She's pandering to #Trump for the VP nomination, just as are Noem, DeSantis, etc.
They all know he's toast. They're hoping to be in place when MAGA needs a new savior to con them.
@WordsmithFL You might be exactly right, just when you thought Trump was the floor Marjorie digs a cellar.
@MidnightRider She may play an idiot, but MTG is not an idiot. She knows exactly what she's doing. Her performance art gets her on TV and creates the appearance of more power than she really has.
If #Trump doesn't pick her for VP, I suspect some day she'll run for Georgia governor or U.S. Senate.
@WordsmithFL Certainly she's focused and shrewd, after all look at the position she carved out. But I find other elements of her character incredibly ignorant. Especially when panders to zealots about God's warnings.
@MidnightRider Evangelism is based on blind faith that the Bible is literally true despite the ample evidence to the contrary. That's how #Trump, MTG, and their ilk operate. They prey upon people who have blind faith in them despite the ample evidence to the contrary. MTG is building up a nice fat war chest off these rubes, just as Trump did.
@WordsmithFL The tax free Army, I'm well aware.
@WordsmithFL Wouldn't it just be lovely if they'd all just slaughter each other and get out of everyone else's way?
Woohoo!
More chaos & fighting in the GQP. Perfect for defeating all candidates running in November. Especially 🍊
@LnzyHou This is the consequence of their creating the rule in January 2023 that any one House member could move to vacate the chair.
I commented at the time that it also meant any Democrat could do it. So far, th Dems have been the adults.
It's backfired on the Republicans big-time, and deservedly so. Considering how much crap they spewed over the years about Nancy Pelosi, this not only shows what a joke they are, but what a master she was.
Pelosi is sorely missed.
@WordsmithFL Poor Marjorie Taylor Ghoul isn't getting enough attention.
@WordsmithFL What an absolute pandering dolt she is.
