The Death Paneling of the American Body Politic

Mad Dog Greene resigned from Congress this week sighting irreconcilable differences with the Orange Caricature. So many pundits have been losing their minds over WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR MAGA, TRUMP, OR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?!!1!?

We’ve seen this before. Sarah “The Quitter” Palin quit the governorship of Alaska halfway through her term so she could go work for America, read that as too much work, not enough grift. And, the VP run whetted her appetite for more. Those are pretty big shoes to fill, but I think Mad Dog Greene is up to giving The Quitter a bit of competition in the race to obscurity and irrelevance.

Here’s what I think. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments.

The Long Game of MTG

What does the social media response to the MTG Gazpacho police malaprop say about the threat to our democracy?
What the #Resistance, Gazpacho Police, and Mad Dog Greene says about the Threat to Our Democracy

Mad Dog is playing a very long game. It started back in 2017 as Q-Anon took off and a twig snapped in her head. Not only was Q-Anon fun, she could ride that wave to fame and fortune if she played her cards right.

Who hasn’t thought about running for office? It’s like writing a novel or running a marathon. It’s one of those things that many people think about, but few of us do. I figure the thing that pushed Mad Dog over the edge was what we saw earlier this week: the five-year Congressional retirement benefits window.

Just like Orange Finger, she realized that there was gold in them thar elected offices! The hard part was getting elected the first time. Incumbency is hard to beat, especially in Greene’s district. She had it wired:

  • Get into office
  • Stay in Trump’s good graces
  • Fuck around for five years
  • Clean up on insider trading
  • Retire with the golden Congressional benefits package

That makes the most sense to me. When has Mad Dog Greene ever been serious about her office? She’s been willing to do vaudeville slapstick on the national stage to entertain the stooges of MAGA and Q-Anon. She has no more self-respect than Trump or any of the other personality disordered hangers on that he’s attracted. It’s all. self-serving, all the time, baby,

This was the MTG five-year plan.

The Even Longer Game of MTG

Trump 2.0: Telling the Useful Idiots From Those Doing the Real Damage

Somewhere on her way to a grifting empire, something else occurred to her: Trump is gonna die soon, and he’ll be gone from national politics one way or another. When that happens there’s going to be a vacuum and an ugly fight to fill it. What she needs is to separate herself from Trump and the pack. She needs to distinguish herself in the eyes of the base.

Let’s face it Mad Dog, you are the ultimate useful idiot. You were a fierce Trump defender and constant Trump promoter, but you were never respected, trusted, or an insider. And, you were never going to be. You had too many strikes against you:

  • First, you are a woman.
  • Second, you are not Trump’s type.
  • And third, she doesn’t bring anything to the table other than minor popularity and a willingness to humiliate herself in the grossest way possible on the world’s stage. Something Trump recognizes as the mark of a desperate loser.

The Future of Mad Dog Greene

Her time in Congress showed her that success was possible for her. Watching Trump showed her that grift and corruption at the highest levels were possible. And, somewhere along the way to the conclusion of her first five-year plan, came another. She could slide right into Trump’s lifts.

Obviously, America neither needs or wants a serious president. She wouldn’t have to do anything other than she’s doing now: insider trading and self-dealing. What could be easier or more profitable for her?

So, what do you think? What is Mad Dog Greene really up to? It can’t be that she is. moved by the plight of hapless American’s as inflation creeps up and health insurance premiums skyrocket. I mean, this is Jewish Space Lasers and Gazpacho Police that we’re dealing with.
