MAGA Grifter Majorie Taylor Greene to Resign Mid-Term, Imperiling Republican Majority

She's resigning in January 2026 -- not January 2027, when her term ends -- and her seat will be filled by a special election, which may or may not go the GOP way, and whose timing depends on Trump opponent Gov. Brian Kemp to schedule.

Many note that the date of her resignation just happens to coincide with the date required to secure her five-year Congressional pension.

Although Super-Trumper MAGA Queen Marjorie Taylor-Green claims she began opposing MAGA to support True MAGA, and began opposing Trump to... save Trump from himself or something, Scott Jennings offered a more plausible explanation for the flakey grifter going on CNN and The View to trash MAGA.

She went on Bill Maher a couple of weeks ago to modify and soften her prior support of the theory that deadly fires were caused by a solar laser controlled by the (Jewish) Rothschild banking family.

And this Super-MAGA Trump Queen did this to position herself better with her new constituency, leftwing Trump haters and Groypers.

Republican US House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she believes in demons, surmising that they might be aliens who fell from heaven, and claims to have been unaware that key figures in the antisemitic space lasers conspiracy she floated were Jewish.
She made those bizarre remarks as a guest on Friday on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher after winning some fans among Democrats who once loathed her -- yet had come to appreciate how the far-right Georgia representative had recently broken with Republicans on various issues. Those include healthcare, Gaza, the federal government shutdown that began on 1 October and the handling of documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Donald Trump before the latter man won two presidencies.
Greene's appearance on Maher's show perhaps made evident the ideological distance between the congresswoman -- who has conspicuously avoided directly criticizing Trump himself -- and some of her newer, cross-aisle admirers.

Attacking Trump's positions without mentioning Trump himself is a patented Tucker Carlson move.

...
At another point in the show, Maher invited Greene to revisit her infamous 2018 social media screed positing that wildfires that had devastated California were ignited by a laser beam from space under the control of the Rothschild banking dynasty.
The progressive watchdog Media Matters uncovered that post weeks into Greene's first congressional term. And her colleagues at the time voted to remove her from her House committee assignments, with the Rothschild family having repeatedly been subjected to antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Greene on Friday declared to Maher that she initially "didn't even know the Rothschilds were Jewish".
"Before politics ... I [did] not know much of any of this stuff," Greene said. "I never even said the word 'Jewish' in the ... post."
Maher pointed out that "'Rothschild', to a lot of people, is almost synonymous with the word 'Jewish'".
Greene replied: "I had no idea ... Now I know it's Jewish."
Amid laughter and applause, Maher retorted: "Right. Well, now we know ... That's what I'm here for -- to make sure that people in Congress know what the fuck you're talking about."

I don't think I've mentioned that on the blog before because I try not to dogpile on people allegedly "on our side" unless necessary. I did not consider her to be such an important figure that I had to criticize her.

There's a whole contingent of idiot self-appointed ideological enforcement operatives -- not you guys, I mean like largely-foreign "MAGA influencers" on X, or the astroturf Groyper brigades that occasionally infest this site when I mention their Fey Fuhrer -- who demand not just that people keep quiet about nutters like Greene, but that we must defend this conspiracy-addled idiot flake. As if we're all in some army and we are oath-sworn to "defend our superior officers." And Greene, I guess, is my superior officer?

Really? In what sense? I don't even live in her district and even if I did, she is not a superior officer in the MAGA Army.

And these idiot Woke Nazis somehow imagine that they are my superior officers, too, and can give me orders from the Groyper Central Command.

Anyway, there's an entire astroturf army of online authoritarian supposedly "America First" speech-police -- again, mostly foreign, as I'm sure you heard and which I'll post about later -- that is either paid to insist that people support their fellow-travelers, or else are just foreign MAGA grifters who get good engagement by demanding that people support Groyper-type people. These foreign bot commanders make a few thousand American dollars per month just tweeting nonsense. Nice work if you can grift it.

A few thousand American dollars a month goes a long, long way in Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan, or India. America First, baby.

So, was this conspiracy-added grifter who I was demanded to defend really Super-MAGA and Ultra-Trump like she claimed?

Ah, no. Not at all. She is a low-IQ opportunist nutball peddling snake oil to a crowd that has a fever and the only cure is more snake oil.

Via FaceBook. I have no idea if this account is actually associated with Trump. It does quote Jennings accurately.

Donald Trump For President

SCOTT JENNINGS: TRUMP SAVED MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE FROM HUMILIATION
"I did see the president today actually, and we discussed the Marjorie Taylor Greene issue a little bit.
What happened with her is very simple. She wanted to run statewide in Georgia.
He privately and discreetly sent her a copy of a poll that he had seen, and she was way down.
It was not gonna work out.
He actually did her a favor by saving her from a humiliation.
But ever since that moment, she's opposed him on bombing the Houthi rebels, on bombing Iran, on deportation, and she's gone on TV shows and attacked him.
Because he betrayed her in her mind on that political moment, she's become an opponent on this other stuff."

So this moron thought she could be a governor and was upset that Trump wasn't going to make another bad Trump endorsement and support her in a losing effort.

But she was "MAGA All the Way" and more pro-Trump than Trump himself. She said so, after all. She said this to people who wanted her to say she was MAGA All the Way and more pro-Trump than Trump himself.

She said what people wanted to hear. That makes it true, right?

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stunned Republicans on Friday, announcing she will leave Congress next year after a blistering, very public fallout with President Trump. In a statement released Friday, Greene said she will step down on January 5, 2026, ending a tumultuous tenure that turned her into a national figure but increasingly put her at odds with the movement she once claimed to champion.
Her decision drops exactly one week after Trump withdrew his support, saying he was finished dealing with a congresswoman he viewed as endlessly absorbed in drama instead of helping advance the mission he's fighting to deliver. Trump blasted her on Truth Social, noting that while he's focused on "Record Achievements for our Country," Greene would just "COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!"
Greene's relationship with Trump has frayed for weeks as she broke with him on a series of policy fronts. She was also one of only four GOP members to force a vote on the Epstein files -- a move Republicans say fed Democrat distractions, even as Trump backed the vote just to move past it. And as she kept elevating it, Trump ramped up his attacks, posting that "Wacky Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown... is working overtime to try and portray herself as a victim when... she is the cause of all of her own problems," adding that "nobody cares about this Traitor to our Country."
Greene admitted the break was decisive. She said Trump's call for a primary challenger ahead of 2026 helped push her toward resignation, claiming she didn't want to drag her district through what she described as a pointless fight. "I have too much self-respect and dignity... and do not want my sweet district to endure a hurtful and hateful primary."
In her closing statement, Greene insisted she'd "never changed" and argued that disagreements over immigration policy, tech regulation, long-term mortgages, and foreign entanglements were proof she was simply "voting her conscience." But Republicans note her rhetoric has increasingly turned inward, challenging her own party as Trump works to unite conservatives behind him heading into the 2026 midterms.
Greene, 51, has represented northwest Georgia since 2021. Her departure narrows the GOP's already thin majority and removes one of the most polarizing figures in Congress.

If I sound like I'm pissed off: I am. I'm so tired of the "More MAGA Than Thou" bullshit from grifters and flakes who turn out to be, surprise surprise, opportunists attaching themselves to a political movement for personal benefit.

And who largely turn out to be dirty foreigners, too.

Looking forward to Marjorie Taylor-Greene's next media venture, The MAGA Muscle Mommy Work-Out Plan. Whatever the next grift is. I'm sure it will be stupid.

Anyway. Hello! Are you ready for a short week and then an early dinner?

46 I rewatched "Fall of Eagles" recently, and found myself admiring Lenin's ironclad discipline if not his politics. He preferred to purge the Mensheviks and have a smaller movement rather than have their numbers. Given that the Mensheviks opposed all his strategies that led to him (violently) seizing control of Russia. He was right.

The right has a problem that anyone who sounds moderately non-retarded suddenly becomes cool (see recent Charlie Sheen interviews for the latest 'redpilled celebrity'). But this means that the movement is constantly being distracted by what these hangers on want rather than what will achieve the movement success. Some sort of puring mechanism must be built into the structure. The Dims had it for decades (until DEI types like Jasmine Ratchet found a way to avoid any accountability).

69 but the general Argument -- This is the more Trumpy person or position, therefore, you must support it -- is really stupid and really old and I'm tired of it. A lot of the "More Trumpy Than Thou" people are now turning on Trump, saying that he has abandoned America First (or America Only, as they now prefer).

And now THAT'S the Trumpier position, opposing Trump.

It was always the stupidest, lowest-IQ possible "argument" and I'm glad it's being exposed.

Greene is a crackpot, but she's been one for her whole political career and that was fine with MAGA. This whole thing started because of Epstein.

Meh. It's a tool and financial transaction like 100s of others. Of all the things in trading and finance that should be illegal or restricted, stock buy-backs are not one of them.

Initially stock was to support corporate ventures too expensive for one person, and then the profits were split - sort of like a dividend stock.

But that importance of stock dividend has dropped over time and now we have a whole range of esoteric stock investments that have little to do with original idea of a joint stock company.

Not arguing its good or bad but it is definitely different.

A lot of them are pretty stupid. At least very pliable. Without a scripted set of replies to scripted questions very few politicians can "speak" coherently about the subject at hand.

Their stupidity makes them prime choices for those actually running things.

Barring some major controversy around Vance, he's the presumptive nominee and heir apparent. His only actual competition is Rubio, and Rubio keeps saying, outright, that Vance is probably going to be the nominee.

Trump will probably endorse him in 2027 and just short circuit the entire process.

There is not going to be any kind of real primary for 2028. Trump is going to treat 2028 like a CEO bringing a chosen successor to a Board of Directors.

Barring some major controversy around Vance, he's the presumptive nominee and heir apparent. His only actual competition is Rubio, and Rubio keeps saying, outright, that Vance is probably going to be the nominee.

Trump will probably endorse him in 2027 and just short circuit the entire process.

There is not going to be any kind of real primary for 2028. Trump is going to treat 2028 like a CEO bringing a chosen successor to a Board of Directors.

245 Marjorie Taylor-Greene says she is resigning from Congress in January, citing death threats and constant attacks from Trump: “I refuse to be a battered wife hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

Notice how she didnt get death threats until going against Trump. she also didn’t care about death threats stemming from Trump’s violent rhetoric until she was the victim

The MAGA movement is based on conspiracy theories, lies and hatred, can’t hold that together for long. All fascist movements are bad but I suspect this one may have been one of the most idiotic to boot.

She made her millions on the insider trading so yeah, retire. She went from 700k to 25 million. Not a bad haul.

After everything she's done, she has the nerve to play the victim. Give me a break. What a weakling. She "fought" for all of a few weeks before tapping out.

She is going to run for the open Georgia governor seat in 2026 as an anti-MAGA candidate in what will be a blue tsunami lanfslide election.

How convenient - January 5th! The anniversary of the night she planted a fucking pipe bomb or two five years ago. We all know it was her. Come on!

GOPe derailed Kemp along with saddling him with Bob Dole in 1996 same as Palin with McCain.

GOPe ran a classic splitter primary strategy in 2008 to give McCain the nomination on purpose.

306 LOL, so the clown judges don't realize they just killed the interim appointments act?

Because there's nothing in the Constitution that permits the Legislative to limit interim appointments to the artificial 120 days.

the "advise and consent" still requires timely action by the Senate; Congress can't shirk its duty while preventing the Executive from fulfilling his.

And this is not a SCOTUS that will craft a middle-ground for the left, something like, "interim until the nominee is approved or rejected."
They're going full repeal of the law:
Interim until a nominee is approved--if the Senate doesn't like that, they can approve a nominee.

369 345 She's apparently not very smart or even sincere in her purposes. If she were, if she were quasi-astute about politics or Donald Trump, she would have gone about trying to leverage influence in far different and more artful way. Trying to out-populist Donald Trump, and rather screechingly to boot, could not be more obviously maladroit.

Yep. One of the problems with new folks that do not have any firm commitments being elected to office is that they pinball around positions and stances trying to catch a breeze.

It was one of the concerns about Trump to some degree and his uneven first term showed it. But in 2016, he was better than the best of GOPe in the primaries and better by far than Killary.

Trump tends to mouth off a lot to triangulate for his long term purposes which pisses ideologues off (constant whines about betrayals, etc.) but his actions are often much more cautious than his words. I have learned to wait and see about his actions rather than fretting about his words on occasion one time or another.

Because the GOPe never fights the opposition like the Democrats do. Since the GOPe is mostly part of the Democrat opposition anyway.

In addition, Obama had the entire establishment and Deep State supporting him, not to mention every institution in the country (media, social media, schools, Hollywood, sports leagues, etc.).

He could have ordered the assassinations of every single Republican in the federal government and no one would have done a thing about it.

I think people tend to struggle with the notion that elections are rigged.

I mean, we talk about it, come up with real evidence, but then, in the end people tend to WANT to believe election results are legit.

So other excuses are used. During the Governor's race, when everyone in Lake's camp, including Charlie Kirk, were swearing she'd pull it out because of how the ballots were coming in, and the data they had showed her path to victory.

And then it didn't. All those guys were SURE she was going to win. And when she didn't, that's when the "she was a bad candidate" arguments started.

398 Could someone educate me as to why stock buy-backs are "bad" and if its true that they were once "illegal"?

Yes, that's essentially true in the United States — until 1982.

Before 1982, the SEC considered large-scale open-market stock repurchases to be potential stock-price manipulation under Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Companies that wanted to repurchase their own shares usually had to do it through tender offers (fixed-price offers to shareholders) with heavy disclosure requirements, or very carefully structured open-market programs to avoid looking manipulative.

In 1982, the SEC adopted Rule 10b-18, which created a “safe harbor.” If a company stays within daily volume limits, price limits, uses only one broker per day, and buys only during certain times of the day, the SEC will not treat the buybacks as manipulation. This rule effectively legalized large-scale open-market repurchases for the first time.

So buybacks weren’t formally “illegal” everywhere and forever, but from the 1930s until 1982 they were legally risky enough that almost no public company did big open-market programs.

405 Bottom Line

Buybacks were effectively legalized in 1982 by Rule 10b-18. Whether they are “bad” depends on your priors:

If you believe corporate managers are generally good stewards of capital and markets price stocks reasonably well → buybacks are fine or even desirable.

If you believe executives are short-termist and markets are often wrong → buybacks look like looting.

Both sides have some evidence and plenty of anecdotes. The truth is probably in the middle: buybacks are a tool -- useful when the stock is cheap, destructive when companies overpay or lever up recklessly. The explosion in volume since 1982 is largely explained by (1) the 1982 safe harbor, (2) the shift to stock-based compensation, and (3) decades of high profits with relatively few domestic reinvestment opportunities for many large firms.

Actually yes--Trump is batting well above average in Scotus and this particular appeal will go to the 4th Circuit, not DC.

Much of the bullshit initial lawfare results have been quietly reported as having been reversed on appeal. That is the ultimately the same thing that happened to the first massive resistance (against desegregation in the South). Initial wins on home courts eventually overturned on appeal.

Actually, we are almost undefeated on appeal. You of course can't win them all.

They are theoretically good, but most executives have massive incentive to boost share price because they own a lot of options.

I say that buybacks should be ruled insider manipulation unless the executives and board making the decisions do not own any options. Or, reset their price to adjust for the boost from a buyback.

======

Every political party in a free or near-free country has plenty of such types. In fact, if a party doesn't have a significant number of hustlers, thieves, and machers, that party will never achieve a national power base. MAGA is a movement, not a party, and a popular one at the moment.

Recent News: Shutting Down Anti-Orbán Media Operations in Hungary

Your mention of Lake's involvement in Hungary is spot-on and refers to a high-profile action from early November 2025. On November 6, 2025, Lake, as Acting CEO, notified Congress that USAGM (U.S. Agency for Global Media) was terminating funding for Szabad Európa, the Hungarian-language service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) — a USAGM-funded outlet often critical of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government. This effectively shut down the service's operations in Hungary, redirecting funds to other regions.
