Today is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) 50th birthday, and for some reason she decided it’d be a good idea to celebrate by sharing a photo of herself wearing a bikini on social media.
Many people go into their 50th birthday thinking it’s a bad thing, but I truly feel it’s wonderful and I’m so excited and grateful God let me live 50 years and do so many things.
From being the first person to graduate college in my family, to carrying 3 babies in my womb and the absolute miracle of 3 childbirths, to raising my children and teaching them about God’s creation and man’s dangers, to running successful businesses and carrying the weight of the responsibility, being a member of congress, running, cycling, swimming, competing, training, reading, always learning, creating, building, skiing, surfing, hiking, making mistakes, learning lessons, and most importantly God’s grace that I don’t deserve but am thankful for beyond words, my 50 years have been an incredible journey that I’m thrilled to be on.
And God willing, I’ll passionately continue each step following Him wherever the road leads.
Today I turned 50!

But if Greene was expecting compliments for her photo, she didn’t get many of those. Instead, most of the responses were extremely critical and often hilarious.
Wait what? Your husband recently left you after your repeated affairs, you are known for being the dumbest politician and you were just dragged publicly for having that “bleach blond, bad built, butch body,” maybe celebrate in quiet this year. 🥴

Even though she easily won the Republican primary in Georgia yesterday, there are some major “red flags” that suggest Georgia GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is vulnerable and could well lose in November’s general election.
That’s what noted political experts told Newsweek, noting that if Greene faces a challenge from a Democrat who can raise the necessary campaign funds the controversial Republican could find herself looking for work in 2025.
T.J. McCormack, a Republican strategist and commentator, “Given Greene’s recent bizarre behavior, this might have been an opportunity to steal a win.”
Among the biggest concerns for Greene are her campaign finance reports, which show that she doesn’t have as much cash on hand as an incumbent should this close to November.
Denny Salas, a political strategist and senior vice president at New York-based Gotham Government Relations, said there are indeed some “red flags” for Greene, who has raised $5 million but only has about $1 million left with six months until the election.
“Her high spending rate, or ‘burn rate,’ could allow a Democratic opponent to defeat her in November’s general election,” Salas said. “While raising $5 million is impressive, blowing through most of it already is concerning.
“So, while not having any Republican opponents made her primary easy, her massive campaign spending suggests she may be vulnerable if Democrats find a well-funded candidate to run against her.”
Former president Donald Trump could also wind up dragging down Greene and other Republicans seeking reelection. Or vice versa, Jay Oliver, LI News radio host and political commentator warned.
“Republicans are in a tough spot whether to go against her with supporter Donald Trump by her side or join other Democrats with total condemnation.” “In a Republican redrawn district to favor the GOP, how much control of this ‘loose cannon’ will be meaningful to help Trump in November? That will be the key.”
Greene’s latest bizarre accusation is that President Joe Biden and the Justice Department wanted to assassinate Trump when they raided his Mar-a-Lago resort to search for classified documents he failed to return upon leaving the White House.
According to Greene, the fact that FBI agents had the authorization to use lethal force during the raid is proof that Biden wanted Trump eliminated, The Independent reports.
“The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate [president] Trump and gave the green light,” the Georgia representative wrote on X Tuesday evening.
The FBI quickly promptly swatted down Greene’s absurd conspiracy theory in an official statement.
“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force,” the statement read.
“No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter,” it added.
What will become of Greene? That remains unclear, but the entire county would be better off if she goes down to defeat come November. After all, we already have enough morons in Congress.
When it comes to the internet and social media, it’s not always easy to figure out why some things go viral while others languish in the outer reaches of the ether.
However, other items are destined for greatness from the get-go, either because they mock someone who is almost universally despised or they manage to tickle the collective funny bone in a manner that makes it irresistible.
And that’s the case with a photo/meme of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) that was shared on Twitter by singer and actor Bette Midler.
As Newsweek explains, Greene’s hat is an echo of a new slogan that was briefly used by failed former president Donald Trump.
In late 2022, when Trump announced plans to run for another term in the White House, he introduced a play on MAGA known as MAGAGA—an acronym for “Make America Great and Glorious Again.” Trump’s official website shows that he has continued use of “Make America Great Again” for his 2024 campaign.
Others on Twitter then joined the fun.
This is inaccurate because she has too many toes

This Marjorie looks like it's actually doing something. The other one just complains.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo chastized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for “creating chaos” in Congress when Greene appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures,” suggesting that she had no actual plan for how to oust Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Bartiromo began by asking Greene, “You’re getting criticized on the left, on the right, in the media … a lot of people are criticizing you. And the reason that they are is because they’re saying that you’re creating drama during this election year. How is this leading to reelecting President Trump? How is this leading to the American people believing that the Republicans can govern? People are saying, ‘Look, she’s creating chaos. She’s making the entire party look like it’s disrupted.’ Your reaction and response to those criticisms?”
“Those that are calling this drama are the very people that are responsible for the drama that the American people are having to live through every single day,” Greene replied. “Those on the left, those on the right, the uniparty that’s in control of our government are the ones that have inflicted the American people with nearly $35 trillion in debt, ripped our border wide open.”
Greene said those criticizing her weren’t actually Americans.
“Yeah, those that are calling this drama are the very people that are responsible for the drama that the American people are having to live through every single day. Speaker Johnson refuses to use his power as Speaker of the House to do any type of negotiating to secure the southern border and stop the madness in our country.”
“The people criticizing me are not the American people,” she added. “The American people agree with me, and I’ve talked to them, and I’ve seen it all over. They are outraged.”
That led Bartiromo to inquire of Greene, “OK Congresswoman, you wanted Mike Johnson out,” Bartiromo said. “What is your alternative plan?”
“Our plan is this: We have to give the American people a reason to trust us and fight for us. The American people are supporting President Trump to be the next President of the United States because they’ve seen him in action. He fought against the Democrat agenda. He put America first. They desperately want him to lead this country again because they trust him and they know he will do that.
“Mike Johnson has betrayed America. He’s betrayed Republican voters. Under his leadership, he’s passed the Democrat agenda, passed the Biden administration’s policies, and fully funded them. We’re going to fight in Congress to do everything we can to stop this type of uniparty leadership. Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated.”
The Fox host pushed back at Greene.
“With all due respect, you didn’t give me a plan for the speaker’s role,” Bartiromo said. “And again, does this mean you are going to file that motion at some point?”
Greene: “It’s coming, regardless of what Mike Johnson decides to do. And we have three more Republicans joining us for the special elections coming up very soon. So people need to know this can happen.”
Like all of the extreme right-wing bomb-throwers in Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene has no actual ideas, no plans, and no understanding of how to govern. She just wants to promote herself and kiss Trump’s fat ass every chance she gets. She’s a cancer on the Congress and this country.
It’s safe to say that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is the most despised member of Congress on either side of the aisle, with both Democrats and Republicans agreeing that all the Georgia GOPer wants is attention and headlines.
At the moment, Greene is trying to push Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) out of his post simply because he’s moving foreign aid legislation forward in the lower chamber of Congress.
All of this led Dulcé Sloan of “The Daily Show” to give Greene the perfect nickname that’s likely to follow the congresswoman for months to come.
According to HuffPost, Sloan began her remarks by noting Greene has “the strongest Karen energy I have ever seen.”
“Damn,” Sloan continued. “Last time I saw a white lady that pissed about a bill, she was getting kicked out of a Chili’s. I don’t know if she’s going to get Mike Johnson fired, but she’s definitely getting store credit for something.”
Then came the nickname.
“The crazy thing is if Capitol Hill Karen does get the speaker fired, that’ll be the second time in six months. If you’re constantly firing speakers, maybe the problem is with you.”
Capitol Hill Karen suits Margie to a T. So do a few other nicknames that can’t be shared in polite company.
