Greene: "I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president...I refuse to be a battered wife hoping it all goes away and gets better...There is no plan to save the world or a 4D chess game being played."

She is absolutely right about the battered wife issue. The Dem party would all benefit from advice about how to handle spousal abuse syndrome. I’ve been wondering if she might be a survivor of sexual abuse. And the Epstein issue may have really gotten to her and changed her attitude toward Trump.

@jhfield.bsky.social

Yes, the GOP has been bullying it for quite a long time. Dems need to get out of constantly defending itself. And ironically, congressional Republicans, while still feeling free to abuse and gaslight Dems, are suffering from narcissistic, or spousal—whichever one wants to call it—from Trump.

Before the end of January we will find out what she is doing next. She might be going the way of Eric Cantor, or she might be running for higher office, but for sure, she has parlayed he exposure and insider trading into something she values more than her seat in Congress

@trengerkaffe.bsky.social

I don't. Those that thought there was a drain the swamp behind all this, but realize this is the oposite, and now are trying to correct it from within will be pushed out (or worse). She might already have done and said things that broke with her ethics that she thought was for the greater good.

Jill Sapphire Goldberg
@jilllsapphire.bsky.social

Yes, payback's a bitch, but the fact is, democracy needs dissent. While I personally oppose most everything MTG has ever expressed, her words have actually clarified others' views & red lines. Obviously, MTG can do as she chooses, but I'll go out on a limb & say I'd prefer her constituents choose.

Sqeaky
@sqeakyismad.bsky.social

She's a racist bigot who wanted to hurt innocent people. She's a bad person. She was chosen by her constituents and that makes them bad people. MTG and people like her aren't the problem with Democracy.

Jill Sapphire Goldberg
@jilllsapphire.bsky.social

May I ask what you think is the problem with democracy? When I think of Trump, I’m careful to remember he’s just one (despicable) person—his millions of supporters are the real problem. I’m therefore curious how MTG & co. aren’t the problem. And I agree, she’s a bigot, among other things.

Jill Sapphire Goldberg
@jilllsapphire.bsky.social

Totally agree, and was very quickly, very tempted to take down my comment. I only left it for the sake of discussion, but as I recalled some of the crap she'd said, gestures she made as a member of Congress, well, I cannot abide by her.

Good-enough citizen
@lampshadeoh.bsky.social

She is likening herself to a battered wife…. Which is an insult to battered women. She may be escaping her “husband” but in this scenario, she’s leaving the kids with him. She’s as chickenshit as the rest of them. She doesn’t care about her constituents and she’s not willing to fight for them.

MAGA is conducting a purge. Whomever useful idiots that bought into the shin of ideology and notices they have been part of creating a monster have to be removed. Only the monster remain. This happens in all dictatorships.

"Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States of America, whom I fought for."

Biased Curation
@biasedcuration.bsky.social

I bet he’s got some Lindsey-Graham-level secret dirt on her that he threatened to release if she didn’t step down. Her recent stance against against him fractured the base, so in getting rid of her, he believes he brings it back together. Someday, all the truth will be known I hope.

blinkndash.bsky.social
@blinkndash.bsky.social

That is very surprising. I really thought she was playing with voters since his approval numbers and she wanted to be re-elected. Maybe she learned something or two about being the bullied instead of the one doing the bullying. I also wonder how much speaking with the Epstein victims taught her.

nrredbird.bsky.social
@nrredbird.bsky.social

First, she decided against running for the Senate. Then she decided she would not run for Governor. Now, she's resigning from Congress? Is she running scared? Of what? Did Trump threaten her? With what? Or did his rabid supporters scare her with their threats? Lie down with dogs, MTG.

stardust1618.bsky.social
@stardust1618.bsky.social

Then Marjorie should not have "married" the orange abuser of women. She knew who Trump was and didn't care until he came for her. She is a lying, manipulative, ignorant narcissist who is trying to save her career from anti Maga backlash.

Paul Shoffner
@pondwarrior.bsky.social

Nah, she is doing a whole lot more than I would have given her credit for, earlier. She is reading the wind (or someone is likely doing that for her) and plotting a realistic course beyond this really nasty process of ridding ourselves of the orange Caligula.

garyoldham.bsky.social
@garyoldham.bsky.social

I think she was going to do that anyway. This way she doesn't get tainted by the fall-out from what is going to happen in the mid-terms. Even without The Epstein Files inflation is at record highs and job numbers are at record lows and that doesn't make for good election results.

Matt
@mattrcollins.bsky.social

If that was her actual plan, resigning in January wouldn't make much sense. She's already rich and probably didn't want to keep getting flamed from her own side.

Gabe KP
@emg8.bsky.social

She was going to run for Elon’s 3rd party I’m sure. But maybe seeing Elon at Trumps dinner with Saudi crown prince this past week has her upset, maybe realized she got played by both Elon & Trump.

@k1da1983.bsky.social

Indeed. But in toto we shouldn't be losing to people from MAGA world anyway. We need to present better ideas and to communicate them as well as execute better. They all need tightening up if we as liberals/leftists/democrats are going to stop the clown show on the right from having any appeal.

Bahhhb
@americanbahhb.bsky.social

She's got basic cleverness like a fox, if no actual intelligence. I think threats would have been implied in Trump's posts about Epstein etc after her passionately demanding those be released. No phone call needed. 99% sure there was no deal.

@nickt1023.bsky.social

The fact that she uses the “battered wife” analogy tells me that battered wives are a common thing in her culture, but not as common as “common Americans”. Did anyone count how many times she said “common Americans”?

Damo
@fplclemfandango.bsky.social

She was one of the few Republican politicians that didn’t know it was all a grift, and actually believed, like the MAGA masses that Trump was for the American people. The realisation it was all bollocks has hit her hard. Almost feel sad for her.

Wilhelmina Jenkins
@wilhelminaj.bsky.social

It wasn’t close at all. Her constituents love her. The rest of the state does not. I think that she’s is making herself more acceptable to the rest of the state to aim for statewide office, possibly Ossoff’s seat next year but more likely Warnock’s seat in 2028. Styling herself after Gov. Kemp.

Wilhelmina Jenkins
@wilhelminaj.bsky.social

Contrary to general opinion, she is not stupid. She is an opportunist. She’s taking herself out of the backlash that will come from Trump’s disastrous policies and positioning herself as non-Trump but still deep red like Gov. Kemp. She grew up much closer to Atlanta than her current district.

Glaucous
@glaucousness.bsky.social

In the same way Mitch McConnell went quiet and faded out, MTG is going to do the same. MAGA is exhausting and relentless. They created and sustained this monster, and now it wants to devour them.

@jiji-love.bsky.social

I’m probably going to get torn apart for saying this, but I’m kind of enjoying the new MTG. I HATED the old MTG with every ounce of my being - but hear me out! She is our useful idiot. She is breaking through to so many people on the right, they are waking up and I’m all in!

Annie 🐸🐸🐸
@clarksky.bsky.social

Maybe you’re right but I don’t see that. I think she was a true believer & her faith is being destroyed. Some, like Lindsey Graham, are opportunists but I always thought she believed the crap she spewed.

Melissa
@mam4music.bsky.social

I can agree with the idiot part! She’s an opportunist. She’s collecting all the MAGA rats jumping ship and going to start a media company with that boyfriend (who just pronounced his love for her on social media) and then a presidential run. God help us all. I’m afraid she’s not going away.

You know, I haven't followed MTG through the years or DJT's various campaigns, so don't know all the things she's said or done, for which she is disliked. But, I admire her standing w/the Epstein victims, not caving to pressure to block the release of the documents & what she says in this video.

Maybe but how often do independents gain enough $$ to win any seat? Especially at a national level. We need to break free from the chains of the two-party entrapment! Republicans also need to kick out Trumplicans who hijacked their party & “take it back”, so the cult can exist (& die) on its own

She wanted to run for Senator but Rump told her no, he would primary her. That’s how this feud between them started. I’m guessing about running for Governor. He has less sway that way.

Raygun Mike
@raygunmike.bsky.social

I think she sees MAGA as a sinking ship. Leaving MAGA on her own terms makes her look strong and Trump look weak. Distancing herself from MAGA now may help her get elected to a future political office. I wonder what dirt-bag Gov Kemp will appoint to fill the vacancy she left.

Let me paint you a picture. Story is that in high school, the cool kids had a big party that she was not invited to, so she called the cops on them. My take is that the orange ogre did not take her political ambitions seriously (quite the opposite), nor did anyone else in the party, so, freelancing.

Maybe she was offered a job from a conservative PAC: more 💰, less stress & not as dangerous, especially given the volatile atmosphere right now.
