The thing to remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene says the occasional sensible or decent thing these days is that she's demonstrating that she's been capable of being sensible and decent all along, but was deliberately choosing not to be.

She also made her 3rd term as Rep, assuring lifetime Federal pension -- pd frm taxes & MUCH higher than any #SS retirement checks❗️ 🤮😭
@mattblaze leopards never change their spots but will paint over to win more votes so they look like the least threatening one in the leopards eating people's face party.
@mattblaze So I know the Wyoming Cheneys really well. I'm from Wyoming and grew-up around a number of them and I've heard that MGT is 100% showman. She does the Jerry Springer shock thing, because Trump is shocking, and she gets away with it. But she started realizing that all this reality television show make believe she was creating was having very real world effects on people. Very bad effects. It has consequences. Dangerous ones. She's pretending. Trump is not pretending. So the about face.
@mattblaze Is it possible le her eyes were opened by exposure to the discussions that went on around her in Congress? She may have beenhonestly ignorant and stuck in an info bubble, but the Epstein coverup was the pin that popped it.
Saving face, not switching sides....
@mattblaze I've said it before. She's a savvy politician who has some plan up her sleeve to gain more power.
Remember who she was being funded by...

#MadMarjorie was & is still a Koch Network funded disinformation chaos operative.

@mattblaze I think she’s an actual antisemite, not a “I think killing children is bad, actually” one.
She’s only making sense cuz the world is so mad with evil right now, and that isn’t a good thing…
@mattblaze Has political good horse sense which means she could run for presidency and get plurality voters to support her to be the first female president.
Sorry Kamala & Hillary
@mattblaze What's the sense in occasionally saying sensible or decent things once you got whacked by your buddies, but having been the arsehole all the time before?
Decency or opportunism?
Yeah but will it last longer than her campaign ...
@mattblaze Broken (analog) clock syndrome.
@mattblaze It's very hard to forget her harassment of David Hogg as a young survivor of the MSD school shooting. The way she trolled him (in person!) was reprehensible!
@mattblaze What's her angle for acting like a normal person for a change? What's the grift? Because I don't a trust a word she says, even if I agree with them.
@mattblaze or perhaps we have been so desensitized by the torrents of abhorrent behavior that something innocuous now seems like a ray of sunshine.
@mattblaze She's just a MAGA, they'll say anything to cling to power. Trump 86'd her from the cult so she's suddenly changed her tune. It's not that she's saying simple and decent things because they are in her. She's saying them because she's a parasite and that's now her best chance for fnding a new host to latch on to. Compare and contrast with what she's said about Paul Pelosi, David Hogg, or dozens of other survivers of violence.
@mattblaze It's also possible that it's the old "broken clock is right twice a day" adage.
I've constantly gone back and forth over the last 10 years. Which is worse:
The MAGA true believer
VS
The craven power hungry spineless MAGA sellout
And the thing is, they feed on one another in an ever escalating loop
@mattblaze
@mattblaze I’m sure she has 25 million reasons for doing it too…
What I've not heard from Greene is any actual repudiation of her own past awfulness, which should be an absolute prerequisite for rejoining normal, reality-based society.
@mattblaze the minimal pre-req
@mattblaze I welcome what she's said and done recently, even if it is woefully insufficient. My most charitable view is that she has earned a right to fade away into obscurity, and not one bit more. But given her personality and lack of impulse control, I doubt she'll take advantage of even that. She's probably just lining up the next grift.
