    This is a good start. I still hope she leaves office and is never heard from again, but maybe her doing this will open the door for some more maga to find there way out of the cult.

    Seriously.

    I feel like i’m about to be put in a padded room. What the fuck is happening to my reality. what kind of weirdo alternate reality have I woken up to, where MTG of all people is being sane and rational… and has been that way for at least a month or three now.

    Do I go outside and start flinging my hands at neighbors and screaming fireball, in the hopes this weird new world I have apparently found myself in has magic?

    She doesn’t expect Trump to be around much longer. Also, Vice President Couch Farker is going to need his own Vice President when that happens. She’s dialing down the crazy so she can get the VP slot.

      No she’s gearing up for a Senate run. Trying to clean up her image so she’s more appealing to the voters in her state and not just the backwards assholes that she represents in backwater Georgia.

    Remember when MTG screamed at an 18 year old David Hogg that he was funded by George Soros? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    She’s on the oversight committee and has seen the unredacted Epstein files. She’s in survival mode and that means distancing from orange Shittler right now. Nothing more.

    Nah.

    This bitch doesn’t get to do that.

    If she starts voting with Democrats every single time, I might consider forgiveness.

      She isn’t looking for your vote, she’s looking for my parent’s vote and I’m guessing my mom is already campaigning for her. The midwest thinks things have gotten too nasty. I’ll ignore the irony of that being what they voted for time and again, but a softer (yet sterner America First) leader, well that’s in tune.

    So did she apologize for pushing stupid rhetorics, or misleading her followers. Or even admitting she got conned?!?

        Senate. She wants a Senate seat, and Trump wouldn’t endorse her due to the fact she’s been constantly wanting to release the Epstein files.

        Granted, I don’t think she believed that Trump was in the files, until he went ape shit about it.

        She worshiped Trump, and still holds all the ridiculous and evil beliefs from before, but now her god has betrayed her.

        And I say good.

        Trump is likely going down, with or without her, so I say without.

        I just saw a quote from Michelle Obama, along the lines of the US isn’t ready for a woman president. MO might be correct, so yeah let’s have MTG run for pres. to dilute the GOP votes.

          Probably just making excuses for why the awful candidate her husband helped force onto the ballot failed at the most winnable presidential election since the two previous ones.

        Hey dont push it, a Greene-Fuentes ticket probably would beat Newsom-Buttigieg, definitely would win against Harris and whatever cursed soul she picks as a running mate

      And if the Dems don’t mount a REALLY effective campaign and candidate, she might be the leading bet for who’s gonna win.

      She is the ONLY one left who captures even a sliver of Trump’s base. But she also has the appeal of people thinking they’re making a “liberal” choice with her. And make no mistake, most of the country does not follow politics or drama and know zilch about her, only that she sounds “down home country” the way she talks and she don’t wanna associate wit dat there Trump fellow after he diddled dem kids.

      When media and interviews turn their eyes to her and start grilling her on the batshit things she said like jewish space lasers and so on, it will only serve to launch her higher in viewership and attention. Trump won on this tactic and Dems still worry about a “perfect candidate” who will preserve the status quo that nobody cares about outside their dusty halls of ancient pageantry and old money.

      We are SO fucked.

        I think enough of the MAGA base is incapable of voting for a woman that she starts in a pretty deep hole even within her party. I don’t see her getting the nomination, and if she does I see her struggling to inspire turnout in the general. Sexism impacted both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, and will be even harder for a GOP candidate to overcome.

          What with the hypocrisy and shifting goalposts for MAGA/GOP types, a female Trump 2.0 would seem quite plausible to my eyes. These types don’t care for conserving anything in particular nor for standing up afor any fixed set of values. They are, quite literally going along with the flow.

          If that is what you think, you are 40years and 2 steps behind. Misogynistic rhetoric hasn’t been en vogue since the 80’s, and if you think Hillary or Kamala lost only because they were women, you really don’t have anything useful to say and instead are leaning on the trope of “common wisdom.”

    She was okay less than 6 months ago, of her voters getting tased at a town hall, and was laughing at them. She is evil and playing a game right now.

    Humbly, go fuck yourself.

    Reflection and repentance is important, but it doesn’t immediately absolve you of all the shit you did to get to this point, and those you hurt and stepped on to get there.

      Unfortunately, we got like, a good 50/50 chance of her actually being elected president in a few years with the current state of both parties unless something big changes.

          GOP would know that any woman they put against AOC would get murdered in primaries alone. They would pick the most overtly misogynistic piece of monster-shit they can find, and sadly, it would probably work.
