This headline is easy to read wrong -- my brain grouped the subject of this headline the other way at first. I read, "Marjorie rages at (Mike and calls to fund government)" rather than "Marjorie (rages at Mike) and (calls to fund government)."
Something smells fucky. She's in a gerrymandered district so re-election isn't a concerned. Presumably Trump is in too much of a froth to realize this might be a political mistake and would love the theatrically of it. It will fire up the base and keep immigration central in the election discourse.
I don't quite get it. But my speculation is that this is an early volley and positioning to try to get rid of Johnson soon by 1) calling him out and making him look weak, 2) forcing him to capitulate to the democrats "just like she said he would," and 3) or he doesn't work with the dems, and then she's tied him more concretely to the government shutdown. Following this, I assume the crazy crew will start undermining him in the media, and then they'll eventually vote to try to get him removed and install one of the crazy crew.
She is absolutely too rabid to be doing this for civic-minded reasons, so something has to be going on.
She is playing a post-Trump game and knows a looming power vacuum when she sees one.
Now is the time Dems must insist on border security bill and negating presidential immunity as a must for passing the budget
How the hell did MTG start sounding reasonable. What alternate universe have we entered.
The Darkest Timeline, or hear me out… they were swapped with their Mirror Universe counterpart.
BBBB Broke ranks? Unbelievable
Selfish snake switches sides when her own side starts to lose pressure. Nothing strange here
OK, I'm selling everything and moving to a cave in the mountains, because if MTG is going to act sane for 5 minutes in a row, then some serious shit is coming down
Like a rat fleeing a sinking ship.
I genuinely hope this is due to therapy and/or medication. I'm willing to wipe the slate for someone putting in real effort who just needs some sort.
But should she burn any fucking bridges after this...
