Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene supported a bill compelling the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files by the DOJ, putting her on the bad side of President Trump.

      Some people did.

      Greene’s resignation from her seat could set the stage for her to seek to replace Trump in the White House in the 2028 election, and possibly become the next leader of the MAGA movement once he exits political life.

        Cincinnatus was a Roman leader who was famous for stepping away from power and going to live a simple life. Many leaders after him played the game of stepping away in public, while working behind the scenes to stage a big comeback when the people ‘demanded’ their return.

          Keeping in mind his “simple life” was owning a slave plantation.

            Were there Romans who could afford slaves but didn’t own any?

            Yes, you discovered history the same way Columbus discovered America.

              The fact that you think this is an appropriate response is why basic facts need to be pointed out to you.

        If she can pull off enough of the crazies then more power to her. Well no power her because she is a nut. I think she wants a GA senate seat but you might be right. She might be going for the WH.

          She’s listening to her advisors. Trump can’t do that. That makes her a strong candidate for Trump 2.0. Whatever part she ends up playing.

            Yeah she can go hide for a while and then come out with a redemption arc. American loves a redemption arc that is for sure.

              Oh she’s not going to hide. She’s just getting off the bus before the final stop at the bottom of the cliff where all the money is not at.
