Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress? Oh you mean Marjorie!
It reads to me that this had been building up for a while, with the whole Epstein affair being the straw that broke the camel's back. First, she was teased with being named as the veep pick and then not getting the nod (probably perceiving that it was because she's a woman), and then being dismissed so often once he was in office (probably perceiving that it was because she's a woman). Her perception might well be true, given what we know of the man. Regardless, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially an entitled one who feels like she's on a mission from God. Then, she saw how the Trump/Epstein rape victims were being treated, and the whole house of cards she'd constructed in her mind fell apart.

Oh, thereโs no doubt in my mind that she's still hanging onto her prejudices. And, yeah, that applies to the couple of people she reminded me of, but I do think the Trump spell has been broken for a lot of these folks. They remembered the good economy Trump inherited (and took credit for) and that things hadn't completely fallen off the rails (because there were still some adults in the room), but this go-around, they've finally begun to see him in a different light. That said, I don't hold any illusions that they'll suddenly start voting for Democrats or give up some of their conspiracies, but some of them are absolutely done with Trump after less than a year of his shit. Looks like she's shooting daggers at the wildlife photographer who just walked in on her taking a dump in her nook of the cave.

Yeah, pretty much this. Go read the NYTimes Magazine profile on her I just posted in the MTG thread. She still believes in MAGA/America First, but the light finally dawned on her that maybe this Trump guy isn't on the up-and-up, afterall.

Not sure if anyone has the appetite to read such a long piece, but while this profile of MTG -- based on a couple of interviews and some really candid quotes from her -- doesn't exactly put her in a new light, it certainly answers a few questions. It's possible I'm a fool, but her decision to part with Trump over the last several months seems genuine after reading this. It also confirms my impression that she accurately reflects the views of well-off, middle-aged white women with Fox News Brain from culturally conservative small towns. In other words, she reminds me a whole lot of some I went to high school with and have kept in touch with since: entitled, arrogant, ignorant, conspiratorial-minded, but ultimately honest about who she is and what she (wrongly) believes in. While I loathe the shit that she's said and done, and therefore I'm unsympathetic to her being cast from Trump's good graces, she sounds oh-so-familiar to some of the conservative people I know who've lived their adult lives in the Fox News bubble, blindly believing everything the teevee bobbleheads have told her for the past 30 years. It's no wonder these people are always so angry and confused about shit when all they're told (and willingly listening to) is that "those people" are to blame for everything. And now that she's actually been exposed to trying to work with Trump -- as opposed to just fawning over him from afar -- the scales have fallen from her eyes, and she sees him for who he really is: a corrupt, self-serving asshole who's only loyal to himself. I think she may be a good, real-time reflection of the erosion in support we (Surly posters) have been observing anecdotally among our families and in our social circles. @atomheartbevo You've discussed this in several posts lately, so I'd like to hear your thoughts after you read it. No rush, though, because it is pretty long and worth stewing over for a bit. Definitely worth a read to get a better understanding of some of the turmoil going on within MAGA. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/magazine/marjorie-taylor-greene-trump-maga-split.html https://archive.is/zTlk0

Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
We're at 38F right now 300 miles northwest of you, but getting some light flurries nonetheless. Nothing's sticking, though. The forecast calls for 76F this Friday. Weird shit.
