Even a stopped, racist, idiotic, conspiratorial clock…
From the article:
In a rare rebuke, the Republican congresswoman has broken ranks to suggest the administration was losing its base.
“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” she wrote in a lengthy post on X.
Ms Taylor Greene, one of the loudest voices of the Maga movement, said she was “frustrated” with the direction of the administration, claiming it was not delivering promises she had campaigned on.
She said: “When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.”
Ms Taylor Greene compared the signing of the Ukrainian minerals deal to the invasion of Iraq, and questioned why Mr Trump’s team had not pulled approvals for the Covid vaccine, which she claimed “does not stop people from catching Covid”.
She added: “I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.
“And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral rights in Ukraine, in order to pay us back for the hundreds of billions of dollars that we gave Ukraine.
“Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”
Fuck her, and fuck everything she stands for.
the vaccine does not stop you from getting covid. but that’s not a reason to pull it’s approval. in fact, it’s a reason to mask and still make effort to avoid being around people shedding virus
Ah, the twisted logic here is that since it doesn’t “cure” COVID it’s “FAKE”. (since REAL vaccines cure and/or perfectly prevent the targeted disease, without any side effects)
Let me guess, they weren’t acting insane enough for her tastes.
You just ain’t fuckable Marge. You lost the blowie job to that plastic surgery monstrosity Laura Loomer.
Go gracefully back to the swamp from whence you emerged.
I haven’t heard anything recently about Loomer. Is she even still alive? Still swallowing Cheeto juice?!
Reading between the lines, it sounds like she may have been expecting a job offer that never came.
Imagine being too unqualified for a kakistocracy.
Thanks for the vocab lesson!
Seriously i’ve never seen that word before today either
Sounds like she’s going to run for president.
Please tell me no one here is dumb enough to believe this headline
I can tell you, but I’d be lying.
I mean, it’s true to an extent. I’m sure some people might read too much into it, but she threw out a bunch of significant criticisms of current policy which is super unlike her or almost anyone in her sycophantic party.
Her positions more or less all suck, but the fact that she’s being so critical is…unexpected.
Should be pretty obvious she’s not trump’s type.
She’s like 51 or 52, so about 40 years too old for tRump.
“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” she wrote in a lengthy post on X.
what an entitled piece of shit. After what she did to that british journalist no media should give her any attention
The basic interpretation of this is a narcissist is afraid they won’t get re-elected because the base is dissatisfied.
This cannot involve any self criticism because narcissism but it’s important to remember a narcissist is always and only concerned about themselves.
Being a horse’s ass, especially to a foreigner, is a feature when it comes to the qanon nutcases like Marjorie Trailer Queen and her fan base.
It’s because he made a deal with Ukraine instead of mining national parks and “on the verge of war” with Iran. Also she thinks Covid vaccines should be pulled. In other words, he’s not awful enough for her.
Elon Musk’s grandfather left Canada for South Africa because of his admiration for Apartheid. He was extremely critical of Hitler for not being anti-semitic enough.
Also she thinks Covid vaccines should be pulled.
Fuck this stupid harpy.
I HATE this kind of performative bullshit from these assholes. She either really believes that bullshit, or doesn’t. Either way, it’s a way for her to cause even more misery and death.
As is tradition for the MAGAts
I thought you were being hyperbolic, but no. She’s losing support and she thinks it’s because trump isn’t extreme enough.
Performative.
So liberals can see conservative performative politics but not that from your own party?
I really should get around to blocking .ml. You people have nothing new to say.
You just don’t like to hear it. It triggers cognitive dissonance.
::yawn::
Downvotes and silence from Liberals. The usual.
I’m no liberal. I downvoted you both for being off-topic and whining.
Performative.
Like a child
Why are you guys getting so personally triggered by a one-word comment? They said it’s performative. Yes, the liberals do it too. Is this a sports game? Are we keeping scores? Is your team winning?
When Liberals do it they are met with joy and praise. If anyone makes it a team sport it is not us.
Had folks gleefully quoting Kamala her performative speeches yesterday as an “argument”.
That’s certainly what your propaganda would like you to think. In reality, most of us are sick of our elected politicians and the political theatre. We don’t worship politicians the way people on the right do.
You may be tired of it, but keep going back for more. That’s how the party of people like Carter are now the party of people dog whistling to Republicans
Liberals do worship their politicians to the level where there is NO accountability. They may whine about their actions, but will willingly, and without question, vote for their reelection.
Liberals chided Trump for saying he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single voter while voting for Biden after helping slaughter Palestinian children. Liberals overlook Obama denying due process to 75% of those he deported, while screaming that Trump is doing that.
Edit, I guess mods around here are filtering words in posts?
I included the word bi*tch and it auto edits to removed
willingly, and without question, vote for their reelection.
That’s such an unnuanced take it’s impressive
lmao you think there are actual liberals in the party/or supporters, they dont even make up majority of voters. you are thinking like a conservative would, you’re no better than they are.
Liberals most definitely worship their politicians in the exact same way the MAGA crowd does.
Really? Where are all the signs, the flags, the people getting tattooed. People are calling Trump God, building him statues. If you look at the MAGA cult and say the other side is the same, turn you’re detached from reality my guy.
If that were true, Al Franken would still be a sitting Senator. We’d still have Rod Blagojevich, Anthony Weiner, and Bob Menendez.
How so? Which politicians do leftists worship?
Keep up that performance, boy.
When did conservatives invade lemmy?
They’ve always been here. They call themselves Communists, but they’re nothing but a bunch of authoritarian bootlickers, also known as “tankies”.
If I were you I’d just block hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml, and lemmy.ml. That stops the vast majority of tankies from invading your feed with their ignorant bullshit.
Those tankies are out there. They can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with, they don’t feel pity, or remorse, or boredom, and they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are annoyed.
Well at least .world already blocks 2 of those, so that’s good. It’s hit or miss with .ml, so for now i find it better to block individual users
Virtue signaling from the right

“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,”
Such a conceited statement. But probably accurate. They are all sharing like 3 braincells, her and her entire electorate.
3?
They stole the one from the orange cats.
Inflation
Rounding error.
This gonna be good.
She said: “When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.”
It’s funny that Marge has not figured out that she will be one of the ones that will be “DEI’ed” out of a job, too, because she does not have the right kind of genitals.
That’s right Marge - they’ll come for your face, too. Time to take off those socks and shoes and get in the kitchen…it’s what you wanted, after all.
Someone do the math for me, I genuinely have no idea what she’s implying.
It sounds like she’s declaring herself the successor to Trump, or at least the kingmaker
No base + no trump = socialism? I think that’s about the level of numeracy on the far right?
It’s not wrong. If every conservative dropped dead tomorrow we could actually fix all the problems they make, which would typically require the government doing stuff. It might even do lots of stuff.
She is right about one thing. Trump plans on being president past January 2029, and if he manages it he won’t need to be on any ballot to do it…
