So true. Easy to throw rocks at the other side until they bounce off the wall of truth and hit you.
A question. How is it that she makes $175k and a millionaire on the side, yet her kids need Obamacare to help paying health insurance? That very same program, she and her goons have used to shutdown the govt. Phony, phony, phony.
Too late! They have no room to govern when they're ALL holding two guns pointing at two of their "allies!" All it'll take for the Treasonous Gop to collapse is for Bunkerboy to pass. Hopefully before Christmas.
I believe Americans will stop supporting the president when it hurts them directly. MTG is only speaking out because this hurts her family directly. Unfortunately, some people don't care or support others, which makes this all really sad. He is a horrible president; I can't wait for his followers to finally open up their eyes and get their heads out of the sand.
Remember when T said military was suckers and losers. Bet he had his fingers crossed thinking it was really all those useful idiots licking his shoes. Bet when he took the big loans that later went bankrupt, he was thinking the same toward those who held the notes. If you are dumb enough to give me your money, you deserve to lose it. What I do not understand... no matter how much he loses there are always those that come running to give him more. What idiot buys DJT stock or his kleptocoins?
My husband supports the man. He doesn't know the truth about that man, and he won't hear anything negative about him. I am sure it is the same with all the other people who still support him, even giving him their last dollar. It doesn't make sense to me. Luckily, I handle the money, so at least I don't have red hats and flags around. But if they lose their health care, and the prices at the stores keep going up, there is no one else to blame. They won't be able to blame Biden if our economy crashes.
What you describe is all too common. It is hard to believe a country with 330 million, half eligible to vote, the election was decided by less than 2%. Makes no sense. In reality we could have saved billions and just decided it with a coin toss. Leaving the future of our country to the whim of insincere voters may have fatal consequences.
As you note, when the pain threshold crosses some point reason would say cooler heads will prevail. I am not that optimistic. Once damage is done, putting Humpty Dumpty back together again may not be possible if the winners hold all the cards. I am not sure who the winners are. One that comes to mind is China. They seem to grow stronger each day. Meanwhile we cannot keep our government running.
As for the financial support he is getting, that is most suspicious. I highly suspect it is NOT grannies cheating on cookie money. Who exactly is benefiting from this chaos? Trump may be getting a billion here and there. But losing trillions smacks of his bankruptcy theory.
I truly believe the damage being done now, which I am sure we have no idea how bad it is, will take years, maybe a decade, to correct. As it happened to President Biden, people don't understand that it takes years to correct the economy after another President destroys it. We were on an upward swing after COVID, but they blamed Biden, and they were so wrong. The first term was bad; this term will be even worse. (In case you haven't noticed, I try not to use that man's name.)
Populists and progressives are definitely of a different stripe, but in this case it seems like our interests are aligned and so we should come together to fend off fascism and cronyism from destroying this country. If I knew Marjorie Taylor Greene myself, I would say I think your QAnon stuff and you’re racist stuff and all that is deplorable, but we seem to be viewing the most important things similarly so let us break bread together. It’s not as easy of a case as with Adam Kinzinger, obviously he is simpatico with good values and a proper vision for this country. But I will take Marjorie Taylor Greene over no one!
A history lesson here. We thought the same love and respect would work with Russia and China. Be nice, share our technology, invest and build up their economies. What could go wrong? Well we see how that turned out. China's nuke scientist was educated in the US. Both countries stole our secrets and with Iran and North Korea are using it against us.
MTG will turn on a dime, the second it suits her, so do not get your hopes too high. Zebras do not change their stripes. Repubs have totally lost all their integrity. We are seeing them for what they are with the shutdown.
How is it that civil servants do not get paid and congress does during shutdowns?
I hope someone from the DNC is reading your piece, and takes action on it -- offer progressive democrats to mainstream media shows (especially Fox News) to talk about and further expose the hypocrisy of republicans' policy, words, and actions, and the damage it causes. Talk is cheap, I'm not ready to put my faith in Greene until she consistently votes against Trump.
As with so many, once it happens to YOU or someone you love, then you finally get it!! Too bad she didn’t have the same compassion for her constituents.
You are propping up MTG while ignoring the most contentious Governor race in the country, VA's election is in 2 weeks. David, Fox News is the only media company covering the race and controlling the narrative. David, we have the ability to stop the Trump takeover, one state-at-a-time. Please give Abigail Spanberger some air time.
I'm on SSDI and have just begun to pay rent. When my fortunes pick up again I will consider joining. David I have learned so much from you about how things work, I will continue to stay subscribed. I appreciate you so much 💓.
Eventually, simplistic ideologies turn themselves inside out, and fall apart due to their own internal contradictions. The problem is that a lot of people are hurt, a lot of damage is done, while waiting for the end to come. We cannot wait any longer. We have the "No Kings" protest in a few days, and local/state elections in a few weeks. We should resist any and all efforts to stall the inevitable. Tell your federal, state and local officials that this is D-Day, and any elected official who does not take a stand for the rights of ALL Americans will feel the pain.
And if MTG'S own kids were not having a huge premium increase, would she care? My bet is no she wouldn't.
So true. Easy to throw rocks at the other side until they bounce off the wall of truth and hit you.

May they all turn on one another and cause the demise of this hell they've put us under for years now.

I think where she broke rank was the Epstein coverup. Perhaps there's more to her personal story than we know, and she had to send up for women.
Seriously, don't hear her supporting Planned Parenthood or giving rights to women to have abortions.
Yup, that might be a REALLY big change....
She's making sense because, currently, it serves her "brand" and her situation.

lol. MTG has become the right’s very own nightmare.
Yes, and it's a nightmare of their own creation.
You have got to be kidding. She's a MAGA grifter
.. Lenin must have had her in mind when he spoke of "useful idiots" 🥸🤔😂🧐
Listening to and acting on her constituents issues, that's the job.

Very well put! I love the comment about the rhetorical invite to brunch!!
