For real what if she ends up doing a complete 180 and becomes a decent human being

She is in a very safe district, so I doubt voters will elect anyone else.

Or maybe she just wants to not be re-elected, so she can get a high paying tv job somewhere.

She is going to run for president 2028.

I figure she's QAnon first and MAGA second and really wants the Epstein files released.

I have a hard time distinguishing them. They're like QMAGnon

King Joffrey of Westeros blames the US government shutdown on Republicans. Calls the Republican party a "bunch of sick fucks, who gets pleasure out of torturing their citizens."

And get 1% in the first primary, drop out and get a job on Fox.

Senpai didn't notice her, so she's pissed.

Who is this person and what has she done with the real mtg. She actually sounded sensible here. Although she definitely contributed to the dividedness that she harped on.

Yea she sounded cool, calm, and collected. Answered all questions... normally, like wtf? ???

Idk who the fuck she is but I know shes right

It's like Taco in the League when he quits weed

I'd be really happy I was wrong and this was the start of them truly turning on each other, but hasn't this type of stuff happened a bunch? One of them would break script, people would think "omg have they finally got common sense/human decency?" and it turns out they were just mad at each other and wanted to rock the boat a little without anything actually big coming from it

MTG being the closest we're getting to a reverse Fetterman. Hell must really have frozen over.

Shes probably likegenuinely smart, just evil and plays the part of extreme QAnon MAGAt because she realizes her constituents are morons and thatll keep her in power and rich.

Or Trump finally went so far overboard that her brain snapped back into reality

She won't. She's only complaining for wholly selfish reasons because it would mean her children's health insurance sky rocketing. She's right that it's republicans fault, but fuck her because she only cares about her self and will 10000% still side with the shit canoes destroying our country.

Ever since her sexism and boys club post she has kinda been acting strange.

I wouldn't take anything she has to say like it has staying value cause I think she would definitely side with damn near all the other awful things about Republicans.

After Trump ....this is a possibility

And holy shit...she actually sounds honest

This should be an actual term lol

Primitive-brained Cro- uh, QMAGnons

Yes. I can admit when someone is right even if I don't like them or believe they have the right to complain.

She needs to go on NewsMax and Fox News saying this. CNN's audience isn't hearing anything new.

I think she, like the podcast bros seem to think Trump is poised to fail in his dictatorship and are positioning themselves for that inevitable "I was never really a Trump guy" and "I only supported him because he threatened me" kind of talk, she's still insane, she's still evil and she's still stupid, Republicans at their core are self interested first and foremost and seeing how insanely right wing they all are Green probably realized this is the ceiling for her, being a congressmen of a backwoods deep red area is not enough for her ambitions she wants to be a senator.

She was on a right wing network a few days ago prior to this yelling about how social media influences should be forced to show that they're being paid for by certain groups thinking that would only apply to the leftists who are apart of Chorus a group that's involved with Brian Tyler Cohen, David Pakman and Mediastouch network, either unaware that what she's calling for should be applied to politicians like herself as well who are just covered in private citizen donations, private investment group donations and of course AiPAC donations.

I liken her to Ted Cruz and Candace Owens just a few who were out their running defense for Jimmy Kimmel because if Trump can be successful in getting rid of him it means he can do it to right wingers as well who aren't a legit insane and loyal enough to commit crimes for him, they wanna grift and make money not risk jail time. Remember, Cruz was one of the first in the wake of the attempted coup to immediately still question the election results and Texas re-elected him anyway.

The bars just that low.

It's still a "she's almost there" thing because a lot of what she's saying is true but then she keeps holding Trump specifically blameless for everything.

She says she blames the shutdown on Republican leaders in Congress and not Trump even though we've seen Trump can direct Congressional Republicans to vote for whatever legislation and they will. MTG herself voted for the continuing resolution because Trump told her to. She also blames people giving Trump bad advice, but that advice is from his advisors that he chose. If he picked and continues to listen to bad advisors that's on him.

I think the space lasers hit her brain tbh

No, it's simple. It's literally because it is impacting her and her family. This isn't some big shocker of her suddenly getting a conscious and wanting to do good. No, she is still 10000% Donnie MAGA and 10000% selfish.

Im not putting the blame on the president, Greene (R-Ga.) said in an interview on CNNs The Situation Room. Im actually putting the blame on the speaker and Leader [John] Thune in the Senate. This should not be happening.

People really need to stop looking deeper than surface level any time a republican says something "agreeable." It's ALWAYS for the wrong reasons.

A new video featuring Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will reportedly play at airports across the U.S. as the Trump administration seeks to cast blame for the lapse in government funding on Democrats.

The short video, first reported by Fox News, shows Noem warning viewers about possible changes to airport operations due to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers not receiving pay since the shutdown entered its second week.

It is TSAs top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience possible while we keep you safe, the DHS chief said in the video. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted and most of our TSA employees are working without pay.

We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact you, she continued. Our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.

A. This is wrong.
B. This is illegal.

Mike Johnson readying for the longest shutdown

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5552958-mike-johnson-government-shutdown/

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Monday the government shutdown is on its way to being one of the longest in history unless Democrats accept the House-passed, GOP-crafted stopgap bill to reopen the government.

Were barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history, unless Democrats dropped their partisan demands and passed a clean, no-strings-attached budget to reopen the government and pay our federal workers, Johnson said in a press conference on the 13th day of the government shutdown.

Congressional leaders have been locked in a standoff over government funding as Democrats demand that Republicans make concessions on health care, notably Affordable Care Act tax credits that are expiring at the end of the year. Republican leaders have refused to negotiate on health care during a shutdown, arguing that that Democrats must accept the clean funding stopgap the House passed in September and which has failed to advance in the Senate seven times.
The shutdown, 13 days and counting, already marks one of the longest federal government funding lapses in modern history.

The longest government shutdown, which was also the last time a federal funding lapse occurred, was from 2018 to 2019 during President Trumps first term, lasting 35 days.
The second-longest shutdown under former President Clinton lasted 21 days, while funding lapses under former President Obama in 2013 and former President Carter in 1978 lasted 17 days.

Republicans are eager to return to the actual negotiating table to finish out full-year appropriations and do work on all the other matters before us, but we wont negotiate in smoke-filled back rooms, and we wont negotiate as hostages, Johnson said Monday. The Speaker has kept the House in an extended recess during the shutdown, canceling weeks of previously scheduled votes as Republicans aim to pressure Senate Democrats into accepting their stopgap funding measure.

Some Republicans have voiced discontent with that tactic, arguing that the chamber could work on measures like regular full-year appropriations bills and other legislation even during a shutdown. Johnson, though, defended the move. You can poll individual House Republicans, maybe you should, and 98.7 percent of them will tell you that this is the right thing, Johnson said.

We are working on appropriations, Johnson said. The next package of bills is being prepared.
I dont know what the Democrats are doing, but the House Republicans have been very busy. Theyre doing some of their best work in the district, helping their constituents navigate this crisis thats been created by [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] and the Democrats. The Schumer Shutdown, it causes real pain for real people, veterans, the elderly people who rely upon these services, Johnson added.

If theres one thing Republicans do, its not learn lessons.

Tickle me and rub my belly

15 min video and you know the first 8 posts didn't watch none of it lol.

She might sound "normal" with the way she talks but she said within the first 5 mins that she supports President Trump still and doesn't blame her party for the shut down because she sees it differently than Americans. Then she brags about how Trump has her phone number and has called her many times with a huge smile on her face. She's acting like she's sincere, nothing more. This boozo can't even get her words right without stuttering and mixing them up.

She's ready to go full bat shit insane anytime the situation calls for it.

Post 33 was the only one to actually watch and comment on the video.

Broken clock situation. At the end of the day, she still supports Trump and finds him blameless.

That being said. Enemy of my enemy situation. Im not saying to call her a great person or sing her praise. But definitely use her to our advantage.

you know things are fucked when some of the worst people you know actually have a point... lol

Mike Johnson is handing this shutdown, which polls suggest Republicans are rightly being blamed for, as if hes unworried about it hurting his party at the polls next year.

That makes a lot of sense. If she has her eye on running for governor of Georgia or for a Senate seat then that's a lot different than winning a House seat in a deep red district and requires her to adopt a much different tone.
