Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Empty G is still full blown MAGA, she just recognizes that Trump is heading for the exit soon, and as in all Cults of Personality, there is no #2. She's angling to be the new MAGA leader, attracting those who have soured on Trump, as well as weak-willed Trad Dems, to give her an edge over those that only draw from MAGA.
Don't fall for it, she's still the same psychopath she's always been. Hating Trump is a low bar, she's going to have to do better than that.
I don't think it's all that nefarious.
I think she was a true believer up until she started forcefully being exposed to all the info and having good reason to pay attention to it.
And it's not hard to figure out that it's all bullshit.
Regardless, she's still the "Jewish Space Lasers" person, and I don't see why Democrats would be tempted to trust her on anything.
Greene just doesn't care about holding her job enough to carry Trump's bullshit once she recognizes it as bullshit. That's why she's going to be out of politics like every other Republican who wouldn't carry Trump's bullshit and therefore are no longer in office.
Nah, she's STILL a true believer, she's just separated MAGA from Trump, which is something very few politicians have done publicly, and very, very few voters have done.
It's going to backfire. If MAGAs can't vote for Trump, they're going to want to vote for whoever Trump endorses, and it ain't gonna be her.
It'll be easy to prove me wrong. I just don't think she's that ambitious. She's already got hers, right? I, personally, gave her thousands of dollars (sold index funds as she bought on insider knowledge), and she has healthcare for life.
Yeah, well said
