Marjorie Taylor Greene may not run for reelection
(www.newsweek.com)
Don’t tempt me with a good time.
I think it goes further than that: she is threatening us with a good time.
She thinks she’s going to get the VP nod from Trump. As usual, she’s fucking delusional.
Or she's under investigation for January 6th, I can hope.
Por que no los dos?
...or something like that. My spanish sucks.
It's correct, just need ¿ at the beginning for optimal pedantry.
And some accent marks + tildas
Do an umlaut.

I can see the bumper stickers now: "dumb and dumber 2024"
But how will anyone know which is which?

I thought Sarah Palin was extreme. Greene makes her look like a Democrat.

It’s like nobody ready the article. It says she’s considering challenging Kemp in a primary for Georgia Governor because he’s not defending Trump.
Edit: apparently I can read better - she wants to run against Kemp in the primary when he runs for Senate, not Governor.
What a crappy headline... Poorly executed click-bait that misinforms more than it informs.
But Kemp's serving his second term as Governor. He can't run again unless he waits 4 years after he's out of office. Which will be in 2026. EmptyG would have a whole another term as a congresswoman before we vote on the governor
I also didn't read the article, but are you sure that's what it said?
Ah, I slightly misread - she wants to run against him in the primary when he runs for Senate. I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out.

Bro I can tell you rn lady that being Trumps running mate wont end well.
I don't think I've ever seen a double entendre for Gallows humor, but here we are.
Remember when MTG stood for Magic: The Gathering? I 'member.
Well, if she's no longer elected, then it can still be.

Clickbait title much? It's because she's considering a Senate run or being Trump's VP.
~~The summary bot has Georgia governor (primary anyway).~~ apparently wrong.
Goddamn I hope she runs for gov.
Kemp is term-limited. He has to sit out from the office for the next term before he can run again, which means he'll probably seek some other office in the meantime. And whatever he runs for he's almost certain to get.
People talk about GA being a swing state, but it fucking isn't. MAGA doesn't do great statewide, but the GOP has near total control with little contest.
MTG on the ticket is EXACTLY what the GA Dems need to make some serious inroads in statewide elections.

That's a misread of the article/summary. It's saying that Kemp (the current GA governor) is talking about a Senate run and MTG would challenge him in a primary for the GOP Senate nomination.

Did her state introduce a literacy test she can't pass?
Or will she refuse because reading all those erotic stories would be a sin.
IE: she's been offered a high-paying job fucking something else up in the private sector, probably to as much of the detriment of the human race as scientifically possible.
She literally thinks she's going to be VP...
I don't even think Republicans are stupid enough to entertain that notion, but I've been sadly wrong before when estimating the stupidity of the GOP.
Trump is likely to pick the most horrible person possible, so I assume that she is a contender.
The headline made me think this was going to be good news.
Hopefully she goes away forever
It’s a clickbate headline. She’s considering running for a higher office.
She won't. Trump said we'd never hear from again if he lost the election. They crave the spotlight.
She's eyeing the vp for Trump
Yeah, but the reason is even worse. She thinks she's going to be VP! AAAAAHHHHHHH!
It would make me pine for someone smart and competent like Dan Quayle
God. Remember when misspelling potato fucked up your chance of political office?
Good times (only sorta).

Time to cash in
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Flamethrowing GOP representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has suggested she might not defend her seat in Congress next fall after two commanding victories in Georgia's 14th District.
Following comments by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp—who is reportedly weighing a run for the U.S. Senate in 2026—criticizing recent, disproven assertions by Donald Trump that he won the battleground state in 2020, Greene said she might be willing to challenge Kemp in a GOP primary.
Assuming, of course, Trump doesn't decide to name her as his running mate after winning the Republican presidential nomination.
After publicly breaking with the far-right Freedom Caucus early this year to support the election of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with Trump's endorsement, Greene has been in lockstep with the former president.
In addition to Greene, Republicans like New York Representative Elise Stefanik and unsuccessful Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake are seen as top contenders along with Florida Representative Byron Donalds, another close Trump ally and a rising GOP star in the House.
Other possible names include South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, a 2024 presidential candidate who has been largely left unscathed by Trump's withering attacks on his GOP competitors on the campaign trail.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Trunt.
Makes sense, while she's here, who's running hell?
