I have been watching and writing about the 180 turn by conservative firebrand, Georgia’s MTG….and new over the weekend has come with a bit of surprise.

MTG and Uncle Don have been sniping at each other for about a month and now he, Donny, may soon be rid of the thorn in his butt.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a once-loyal supporter of President Trump who has become a critic, said Friday she is resigning from Congress in January. Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she’s “always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in.” Greene’s resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, reports the AP, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care.
Trump branded her a “traitor” and “wacky” and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she ran for reelection next year.

Greene said her last day would be Jan. 5, 2026. The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday night. Greene had been closely tied to the Republican president since she launched her political career in 2020. In her video, she underscored her longtime loyalty to Trump except on a few issues, and said it was “unfair and wrong” that he attacked her for disagreeing. “Loyalty should be a two-way street and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district’s interest, because our job title is literally ‘representative,'” she said.

Greene swept to office at the forefront of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement and swiftly became a lightning rod on Capitol Hill for her often beyond-mainstream views. As she embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory and appeared with white supremacists, Greene was opposed by party leaders but welcomed by Trump. He called her “a real WINNER!” Yet over time she proved a deft legislator, having aligned herself with then-GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, who would go on to become House speaker. She was a trusted voice on the right flank, until McCarthy was ousted in 2023.

I will be sorry to see her go for she was the only thing in the GOP that was interesting.

I seldom agreed with her on much but at least she took a stand and it has cost her.

She could have been the voice of reason (I know it is hard to say that) maybe even led the anti-Trump movement….

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump acolyte-turned-nemesis who bested him over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, stunned the political establishment again. In what should have been her hour of triumph, the Maga star abruptly announced that she was quitting the House of Representatives.

Everyone seemed surprised but one man was very happy. “I think it’s great news for the country,” Trump told ABC News. “It’s great.”

It was also great news for a president having the worst month of his second term. Trump’s approval rating is in freefall. Democrats romped to victory in elections. Unthinkably, even the Republican party is finding a spine, defying him on the Epstein files, Senate filibuster and congressional redistricting in Indiana.

They know that every day takes Trump a little further away from his epic comeback victory in 2024 and a little closer to the status of a lame duck. Watching the limelight and cameras shift from the Oval Office to his would-be successors may be too much for him to bear.

But Greene’s departure shows all that may be wishful thinking for now. In one timeline, she could have used the Epstein win as the foundation of an anti-Trump resistance in the Republican ranks. The party has spent the past decade demonstrating that cowardice is contagious; perhaps the courage to reassert congressional autonomy would be too.

After her ‘come to Jesus’ moment and decided that Donny was not all that she decided to resign…..but why?

Greene resigned for various reasons, but in her lengthy statement, she cited Trump’s recent attacks against her, the recent 43-day government shutdown and the failure of both parties to lower the rising costs of living in America behind her decision to step down.

“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” Greene wrote, in part. “And in turn, be expected to defend the president against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.”

She continued, “No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman. The debt goes higher. Corporate and global interests remain Washington’s sweethearts. American jobs continue to be replaced, whether it’s by illegal labor or legal labor by visas or just shipped overseas. Small businesses continue to be swallowed by big corporations. Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign interests.”

Forgive me but I am not buying this excuse….there is something more to this situation than we know….but what is it?

I am not saying I disagree with her statement….just why did it take so long to come to that decision?

There is something more afoot with this….could it be a presidential aspiration?

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise decision to leave Congress in January has prompted an obvious question: So what’s next? In her announcement video, the Georgia congresswoman insisted her decision is all about her disillusionment with politics and is not a “4-D chess game,” per the Georgia Recorder. Not everybody is so sure.

• Time, quoting five sources, reports Greene has told allies she is considering a presidential run in 2028. Two of the unnamed sources say Greene has spoken to them directly about it.
• It’s way too early to suss out her prospects, but the story suggests she could follow the model of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the last campaign: “a candidate capable of siphoning off votes from the GOP nominee, positioning her to leverage that political capital into a possible role within a future Republican administration.”
• Greene’s move comes after her very public rift with President Trump, whom she has accused of betraying his base on a range of issues. Though the president publicly disowned Greene and called her “wacky,” he sounded a somewhat different note on Saturday. Trump told NBC News he would “love” to see Greene revive her political career after January, though he added that “it’s not going to be easy for her.” In the meantime, he said, “she’s got to take a little rest.”
• Some Democrats see a 2028 Greene run as a realistic possibility as a post-Trump Republican party begins to take shape. “If you’d asked me three months ago, I would have said JD Vance is going to be the nominee of the Republican Party, and now, I think, it could be Marjorie Taylor Greene and it could be Marco Rubio and it could be someone we aren’t even talking about,” Rep. Ro Khanna tells the New York Times. “They have gone from a consolidation around Trump to a serious consideration of a post-Trump future.”
• Vanity Fair was wondering about Greene’s future days before her resignation announcement. Greene was asked directly three times in the interview whether she was planning a 2028 candidacy. She provided indirect answers the first two times, including, “I have never said I was running for president.” Asked the third time, she responded, “Uh, I am not considering running for president. I’m literally trying with every soul in my body to just do this current job.” That will no longer be a concern in two months.

MTG has generated more press  lately than she has over her tenure of hateful politics…..

I still think there is more shoes to fall.

Thoughts?
