President Donald Trump's United States of America

Look, even bad people can do some good things. Her pushing to release the Epstein files does not make her a "profile in courage" when her entire career was basically defined by her being his toadie.

It is not just her stance on the Epstein files; MTG has come out hard against Israel and the genocide in Gaza (which she has called a genocide). MTG has called for ending all US funding of Israel, which she always makes a point of referring to as NUCLEAR-ARMED Israel, and she has called for AIPAC to register as a foreign agent under FARA. If you don't understand why MTG's stance qualifies her for a JFK profile in courage award, then you must not understand the basic reality of American politics that AIPAC has bought off most American politicians. You must not understand the seismic shift that is taking place right now, as leading voices in America are coming out against American support of Israel.

Or, they saw evidence of horrific things and changed their tune, without the need for us to psychoanalyze women in the way you're trying to.

It goes for men, too, as per my point about first noticing this oddly stunted pattern with regard to the Ford family.

I think we just might wind up seeing a *lot* of "scared straight" cases out there--a prototype being onetime doctrinaire Teabagger Joe Walsh (the politician-turned-commentator, not the musician). And it *might* be of note that for all of their "weirdness", MTG/Boebert/Mace have *not* sought to take on the more macabre excesses of Mar-a-Lago face.

And incidentally, as the initial armchair-psychoanalysis I quoted was courtesy of Rebecca Solnit, here's her piece on, well, big tents and MAGAs being scared sorta-straight and well-meaning people still wanting to slam doors in their faces and all of that...

How Big Should Your Tent Be?

It's striking to me that a lot of people want politics to be about their personal feelings, in which case they're not engaged in politics, though they may be engaged in the sabotage of politics. This is why I declared that "voting is a chess move, not a valentine," all

OK.
She also, in no particular order: promoted Trump's false claims of stolen election, decertification of Georgia State election results, fought against all COVID-19 restrictions which likely led to extra deaths in the USA, consistently promotes Russian propaganda about Ukraine, constantly promotes violent rhetoric about Democrats, and not to mention the countless conspiracy theories like Democratic satanists that traffick children, Pizzagate, QAnon, Sandy Hook was a false flag attack, September 11th inside job, various White Genocide conspiracies, etc.

This is the lady you are lionizing? Really?
She is an embarrassment.

Like I said, bad people sometimes do good things. What you just said about her position on Israel doesn't absolve her of everything else.

Yesterday she said:
"He called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong, and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger," said Greene.

"I think America needs to come together and end all the toxic, dangerous rhetoric and divide, and I'm leading the way with my own example, and I hope that President Trump can do the same," she told Bash.

It is fucking rich to hear this woman complaining about Trump calling her a traitor. She has been calling various Democrats traitors for years. She never had a problem with violent rhetoric that put people's lives in danger until it was directed at her. She wasn't interested in America coming together when she was calling for executions of political opponents. That's because she isn't some courageous hero, but a coward.
So no, I don't see her as a "profile in courage". She is a horrible person.

As for MTG, she is turning out to be another "profile in courage"

Wow... Coming out in support of unrestricted gun ownership under a dumb pretence of "what if we ever need to topple our government?". Praising MTG, one of the most despicable human beings in the MAGA movement.

I think we can all agree: this is a new low for @EBT

You have to give your enemies a golden bridge over which to retreat. Backing them into a corner makes them fight harder against you.

Look, she can fight to release the files. That's fine and it's good. I won't criticize her for that, because I agree with her goal in this case. You're right that Democrats should be working with her (they may already be, I am not sure) on the issue to pressure the government.

But there is a difference between that and embarking on a campaign to turn her into something she is not.

Ultimately, if anyone can "turn her into something she is not", it's herself--not unlike how George Wallace's final stint as Alabama Governor was, in effect, defined by atonement for his earlier sins.

But let's not jump the gun by proclaiming that she *is* at that stage already.
 
I wouldn't trust her or endorse her as far as I can throw her. And if that. But if her objectives align with mine, she is more than welcome to go first.

Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files

'We have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on Truth Social, after previously fighting a proposal to make more of the Epstein files public.

Only after demanding the prosecution of Bill Clinton and others listed in the files. Which of course, makes the files evidence in an ongoing investigation and not subject to public disclosure.
