Greene: MAGA 'was all a lie'

(from my local rag, it appears that the original source is the hill)

https://www.kxan.com/top-stories/greene-maga-was-all-a-lie/?tbref=hp

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan was a “lie,” saying his first year back in office was focused on obliging wealthy supporters.

“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.

“The big, big donors that donated all the money and continue to donate to the president’s PACs and donate to the 250th anniversary and are donating to the big ballroom,” she added.

The former Georgia representative recently resigned from Congress, after airing concerns over the future of health care premiums and the war in Gaza, citing fractures within the GOP and falling out with Trump and MAGA, despite years of loyal support for the president.

so in summation, Greene was aokay if it was owning the libs and destroying the poor but now things went to far because it was affecting her, you know, the rich.

Now she's suddenly telling voters what a lot of us have known all along, hoping we'll forget her bad behavior.

she certainly did her part in getting them to where they are today.......backing him and the Republicans every hour, of every day, of every week for over 6? YEARS........Like Cheney, and other awakened Republicans...... if you truly were upset, you would become Democrats, and help overturn the Republican Majority in the House and Senate before it is too late..........

she'd have stayed in office and fought for what she now believes.
She'll run for senate and it will be a complete wild card what she would do now. She had a chance to show the people.

she was pushing the jewish space lasers. now she's making sense. I have a hard time figuring out whether she's a true idiot or a feckless cynic. suppose it could be both.

hopefully it's a plus for Democrats that she's saying this now, assuming she has a significant following that she can bring along with her. If it gets closer to the election and she announces that she'll be voting for the Democrat, or not at all, that's good for democracy.

They fucking served YOU, you used THEM, got elected AND GOT RICH (corruption much?). Now you want more and are mad you have to stay in your lane (on someone elses highway) or hit the next off-ramp. It's the path YOU chose.

or at least make them look ridiculous sooner or later. Of course MTG and the rest of them are self-interested, but what might be credible here is that they don't really understand what they've signed up for or what is in their best interests.

If you believe in space lasers (or think you can get others to believe), you might have missed some critical thinking along the way.

we were taught in school that the problem with democracy is that eventually the poor working class would eventually vote themselves so many benefits that it would bankrupt the country.
LOL.
The real problem with democracy is that eventually the rich will divide the poor working class and set us against each other so that they can strip the country of our assets and roast the goose which laid their golden eggs.
The needs of the working class can be met but the greed of the rich is insatiable.

Trump lacks originality of thought

Trump likes to say he can do whatever he wants because he invented MAGA.

That is pure nonsense.

It was mentioned in an earlier episode of The Simpsons.



How many times in the past has an authoritarian ruler said that they are going to make their country great again.

You blocked every single one of Biden's policies, then gloated about it on Fox News every night. You are 100% complicit in this nightmare we're living in. Sit down and shut up.

Red, White or Blue... it's always Green that's king in the end.

Maybe someday people will figure that out. Politics is a racket. Sorta like war, but more expensive, longer, and with more casualties over time.

You were the biggest effing cheerleader for magat policies, you idgit with your gazpacho police and Jewish space lasers and harassing survivors of one of the worst school shootings in this country.

You will always be a magat- the stench will stick to you and the rest of your party for the rest of your miserable lives. Just go away, go far away, and never come back.
