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?
