    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?”

    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)

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      I thought you were being hyperbolic, but no. She’s losing support and she thinks it’s because trump isn’t extreme enough.

    What now? Can’t she think of anyone from the other camp who she can blame for whatever with some fantasy stories?

    What a spineless coward this wretched pos is.

    I hope all these disgusting brutes get what they deserve in the end.

    “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.
