Don’t fall for it. MTG is as ruthless as they come. I would never trust her.

Cathy Cassels's avatar

I completely agree with culling the Dems who aren’t “getting it” . . . and they MUST go for universal healthcare without apology! They have to find a way to counter Republican gaslighting on healthcare being a privilege & that they would be paying for healthcare for undocumented people etc. etc. - it’s all bullshit - get rid of the corporate greed in healthcare & Medicare for All would actually cost LESS!! 💪

I will only believe that MTG has had a real “come to Jesus “ moment if she apologizes to David Hogg for chasing him through DC and calling him a “crisis actor “, which has a snowballs chance in he'll of happening.

All Republican ideologies are the “Oh-kee-doke”. Don’t fall for ANY of it! Thanks Waj!🙌🏼

We have to defeat MAGA White Christian Nationalism

Ralph Hensley's avatar

MAGA White Christian Nationalism is only part of the threat. Ultraright Conservative Evangelicals are gunning for a theocracy. Grindr Mike Johnson is one of this tribe’s members. National Theocracy based on Old Testament law will be the worse theocracy in modern history and it's not that far fetched if the kleptocrats and oligarchs think it'll keep their power in place.

My husband calls folks like MTG “Whiskey Tango” (White Trash) - which was a new one - didn’t know this before - and my husband has relatives in Pulaski, Tennessee, home of the KKK - so you know he knows whereof he speaks. I maintain MTG has resigned from the House so she can run for the Senate.

I'm taking bets: the announcement will come no later than Jan. 6, 2026

Quite the rundown Marc. So if she was really born in Kenya she cannot inherit the throne room (Oval Office) wonderful! One less thing to worry about? Only one because she will continue on her hate campaign because she does know how to change horses in mid side. $5M a year because she got so many perks in Congress. No wonder they get their heads turned! Take the BIG DIRTY MONEY out of politics and those donors will stay out of politics because they can't pay them enough to be compliant to their needs.

Judith Dyer's avatar

How does she make millions from "perks" ....donor corruption money?....like AIPAC?

I avoided learning about politics for 80+ years. I am on a steep earning curve.

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

You're on the right track. But look further. Insider trading. donnie little dick has made it even more user friendly because with his tariff ups and downs he now tells the market how it should perform. He just has to give a heads to MAGA rethugs and so they buy and sell accordingly. When stocks and share prices are low they buy. Then in his much vaunted "two weeks" he changes his stance and alerts his pals before hand then they sell. So they can make a killing on those that will be high cost. There are numerous ways and it's not only the rethugs. Even democrats take money from super pacs, like AIPAC the Israeli fund that gives money to both parties so that whoever is in power has to owe them their loyalty. Which is why I believe big money in politics has to be eliminated and made transparent! Sometimes they give them several amounts claiming it's from different people but those are just shell companies set up to be able to pay more without it becoming obvious that it's all from one donor. I'm not an economics minded person but I do read a lot and I always have. I'm 76 and it's never too late to start becoming informed. As for the politics angle I would suggest you subscribe to MindWars by Jim Stewartson who has spent a decade disseminating truth from fiction. It will surprise you how manipulative politics can be and how connected the tech bros and the church are in establishing people like donnie little dick. To subscribe to MindWars is free to read all that he has found out. You only have to pay if you want to comment. But you can restock with a note and make a comment there if you wish. Sorry I can't explain it more that that Judith.

Judith Dyer's avatar

MindWars by Jim Stewartson....The substack or the podcast or the .net. or?

Hey, I have and pay for so many sources: it keeps me glued to my chair...and so many (50, at least) experts on youtube (paying for no ads; half price in Mexico)

OK: I subscribed. then got all these Download the substack app, which went round and round to email, back, do it again. I have no idea why I need that or if after messing with it, if I even have it.

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

Sorry Judith I don't use apps, utube, twitter or any other media because I don't trust them. I stick with substack because it generally has the latest news without all chitchat. I trust it. I view Jims stuff on substack he has lots of posting so either start at the beginning or start at the most recent. That might be better so you can flip back to his earlier ones for clarification.

Judith Dyer's avatar

Thanks. I will.

Youtube, if they know who you are and what you favor, puts up relevant stuff.

I got started the day of oct7 ...Norman Finkelstein, then Ilan Pappe, Judge Napolitano's guests, Jeffrey Sachs, Katie Halper, Electronic Intifada, Jamarl Thomas, Laith Marouf, Carl Zha, KJ Noh, and on and on. All independent.

Kenji Lopez-Alt for cooking.

No Twitter.

Maybe Crypto money laundering has caught up with her?? 🤔 🤨

Judith Dyer's avatar

OMG!

Another investigation site.

Crypto! I have tried to ignore anything about that shit.

I subscribed to The Coin Laundry so I guess I get to find more ways the big boys, like DJT, are ripping us off.

Judith Wynn's avatar

We all are. Imagine if politics became a participant sport in the USA!

Judith Dyer's avatar

Like, if voting made a difference?

Judith Wynn's avatar

Voting for starters. Donating and volunteering for candidates we have researched and respect. Voting is one of the latter steps, not the only one.

Marc Panaye's avatar

Really Paula?

I did not know that....... although the website of The Onion does mention:

"The Onion now enjoys a daily readership of 4.3 trillion and has grown into the single most powerful and influential organization in human history."

And

" The Onion supports more than 350,000 full- and part-time journalism jobs in its numerous news bureaus and manual labor camps stationed around the world, and members of its editorial board have served with distinction in an advisory capacity for such nations as China, Syria, Somalia, and the former Soviet Union. On top of its journalistic pursuits, The Onion also owns and operates the majority of the world’s transoceanic shipping lanes, stands on the nation’s leading edge on matters of deforestation and strip mining, and proudly conducts tests on millions of animals daily."

So you claim it is satirical?????

Judith Dyer's avatar

Has The Onion gone the way of SNL: stupid?

Colleen Wetteland's avatar

Allison, thank you for all you just said. I totally agree with you! As Robert Reich has said this is not a left right moment it is an up down moment (Waj what you have been saying too, of course) It's the haves and the rest of us! I just read Heather Cox Richardson's letter for yesterday (Nov. 22) and as she says we have been here before (right after the Civil War - Johnson was pres. because of Lincoln's assassination) so proof that we can come out of this dark time and remain a democracy!

SusanK's avatar

yep she was in on the insider training.She had $400,000 to her name and she made millions when the tariffs were announced.. So let's not say MTG is in any way a good person. she's still nasty. If anything she should give that money back to the community. Then maybe I would change my mind.

Suzanne's avatar

I vote as progressive blue as I can (not so many super blue candidates for senate and reps only in urban areas 3 counties of 100 in NC regretfully)

Rachel Uwa's avatar

If you end up voting for whatever dem is backed by capitalists nothing ever changes. US politics needs more nuance, democratic socialists should become their own political party and republicans can be divided as well. Then they can start getting into coalition building like in other countries and behaving more like adults where you actually have to work with other groups to find compromises and not just play the "us or them" game at all costs like spoiled children. TLDR it's time to grow up, America.

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

Margery the TROJAN HORSE is very descriptive. When you and Allison get together we hear the TRUTH, not the democratic party's TRUTH or donnie little dick's TRUTH but the real truth without the spin. I only wish you guys were just not talking about the politicians in our midst but ACTUALLY THOSE PEOPLE! So that the world will be safe for democracy. I say this as a citizen of the UK and we have seen an inordinate amount of propaganda from the States land on our shores. They are demanding the same things trump is demanding. I'm going to vote Green during any election and in the General election because a gay jewish person is also a Social Democrat like Mamdani AND cares about the economy as well as ecology. Our country was doing well for and by immigrants until trumps exports like Musk stuck their dirty little fingers into OUR pie. I curse them every fucking day!

Sadaya's avatar

Every word out of trumps mouth is a lie. Just take his lie and turn it around and there is the truth. 💙🇺🇸💙🥰✌️💋

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

Yep it always has been "projection" of what he's guilty of. What a bonehead. Yet his followers are boneheads so there's that I guess. He only has to convince them of his TRUTH and they all nod their heads like that little toy dog on the dashboard or rear window of your car lol.

Ms. Jodois's avatar

She got too close to the third rail and has been spooked. All that aside, she’s not to be trusted and is as opportunistic as every other grifter in that orbit.

Mark's avatar

I will never vote for a republican again after every thing that has happened.

John Smith's avatar

she was waiting for her retirement account to be vested.

she gets it for the rest of her life. it wasn't for any noble or ideological reason.

yup. she's still trash!

MTG wants Senate spot.

Jools's avatar

According to Elie Mystal, the reason maybe just economical. As of Jan. 5, 2026, MTG officially qualifies for a PHAT Pension. Not to mention the $22 MILLION she benefited (allegedly) from insider trading. MTG is SET for life. 🏦💰💰

Carrie 🇨🇦's avatar

According to MTG's financial disclosure she had $700,000 when she became a congresswoman. According to her most recent financial disclosure she has amassed $25,000,000. She will also have free lifetime healthcare with her pension.

She made out like a thief.!!

Jools's avatar

Holy phqking hell! I knew she made bank. $25M is a nice return. That tracks. I just don’t get how this country is NOT Up in Flames.

Carrie 🇨🇦's avatar

I think everyone needs to pack a bug-out bag, and or have some canned goods, and bottled water/a life-straw/water bottle with a filter.

It's a powder keg ready to go off.

I'm a Canadian. A lot of us are watching and it's ridiculous how corrupt Trump is and how corrupt the Congress is... and having worked in law enforce for 15 years, it's shocking how the police/ICE treat/assault people with little to no accountability.

GW B's avatar

Pic of Mamdani and DJT in front of FDR is hugely amazing accomplishment from the meeting. DJT doesn’t even seem to know why it was humiliating.

Karebear's avatar

How about vice president when JD takes over?? Bannon has been strategizing with her. Then he won't go to prison either.
