Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will be the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in all but name.

[ouch]

It's a theory that I and probably many here in this message board believe that it is one that will become true. Rep McCarthy, if House Speaker, will be highly controlled by extremists on the Right - especially MTG. That MTG will be 'in all but name' the Speaker.

Greene “will be the most powerful Speaker of the House because she will have the opportunity to control what comes out of Kevin’s mouth around the things that matter to that small cadre,” he predicted.

“I just call the thing what it is,” Steele continued.

“You call it shadow, I call it the thing. It’s the job, because what you can’t make that separation, when she is … you’re dragging her to your events and you’re propping her up, telling her we’re going to put you back in committee, we’re going to give you a powerful leadership role. Come on.”

 

[Dans La Lune]

She'll be among the most influential people in McCarthy's powerbase. And since McCarthy is among the most weak-spined people on the planet, I can see a case being made for Greene being the actual agenda-driver. If Greene withdrew her support, where would that leave McCarthy?

Which would mean that a dimwitted, borderline Nazi is controlling the Republican agenda.

This is the hell that McCarthy made for himself.

At least we won't have any more government thugs coming after our Gazpacho.

I KNOW Righties will be rubbing their hands in glee and Lefties will be in panic mode, and what will us Canadians be doing? We will be saying "Let's get on with the show!!"

 

[Cameron]

All I know is I'm happy for the GOP to show how insane they are with control of one house of Congress while we still have control of the other and POTUS. It will only reinforce the public concerns that prevented a red wave this year.

 

[Lisa]

MTG will remain the GOPs dedicated howler monkey that appeals to the toothless base via Twitter and Qanon.

 

[SkyChief]

Michael Steele is full of it.

“[MTG] will be the most powerful Speaker of the House because she will have the opportunity to control what comes out of Kevin’s mouth around the things that matter to that small cadre. I just call the thing what it is. . .

“You call it shadow, I call it the thing. It’s the job, because what you can’t make that separation, when she is … you’re dragging her to your events and you’re propping her up, telling her we’re going to put you back in committee, we’re going to give you a powerful leadership role. Come on.” said Steele on MSNBC Morning Joe yesterday.

Of course this is complete nonsense. Recall that in 2011, Michael Steele was fired as RNC Chairman because of the many goofy things and gaffes he said, and his ties to authorizing payment for a $2000 RNC bill at a sex-themed bar in California.

Steele's wild claim about MTG pulling the strings is just another of his (infamous) attention-getting gaffes. Naturally, MSNBC loves him.

 

[notquiteright]

MTG seems to see herself as the MAGA House King maker.

It will be interesting to see how far she pushes McCarthy on MAGA/investigation issues.

So far all I've heard is talk about investigating everyone but the White House janitorial team but stay tuned on that one...

I don't think this is gonna panic anyone. All we have to do is just sit back and watch them fail.

Hence "the show"

It will insure them of another loss in 24'.

Sounds like MTG.

 

[Binary_Digit]

I think the Rs are....slowly.....starting to trend away from the crazy. Not because they dislike crazy, and not because they dislike threats to American democracy, but because they dislike not getting votes. They're starting to disown Trump because of it, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them not let MTG finish what Trump started for the same reason. Then again, there was a time when I thought they'd never let themselves become what they have today, so what do I know?

 

[SkyChief]

MTG is sorta like the GOP counterpart to AOC of the democrats.

Like AOC, MTG is an extremist/radical, and doesn't really represent the values of her party. The GOP tolerates her silly antics because they kinda have to. . . . just like dems have to tolerate the silly antics of AOC.

maybe if she was on some committees, she wouldn't have all this time on her hands?

 

[Galactic Spin]

Of course this is complete nonsense.

And yet you couldn't seem to fashion any argument as to why. Weird.

 

[rickc]

The representative of the MAGA republican base.

A base republican politicians fear. Damn shame what that Grand Old Party has become. Far from the days of Abraham Lincoln.

[PeacefulWarrior]

Sir, you have insulted the Honor of a Lady, M'Lady AOC.
There are no "silly antics" involved Chief, just a sweet SWEET Socialist talking TRUTH to power!!! And I love her!!
I want to put a sweet Socialist baby in her belly!

 

[notquiteright]

Really??? She will have a platform and a taxpayer microphone to go on inane and insane rants under the guise of asking 'relevant' questions of witnesses...

She wasn't too busy before she was removed from committee chairs. Her removal came from the MAGA rants, so she makes time to be a MAGA moron...

 

[ouch]

If locked away in a cellar without any communication devices - yes, her and imaginary committees in her head might just work.

No, she's not. Only a right wing hack could think the two are equivalent.

Yeah she'd definitely become more sane... Not.
