U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said on Saturday that she once gave up her vote "because my President asked me to," but she "will not do it again."
Greene, a steadfast ally to Donald Trump, said on Friday that she was "frustrated" by Republicans and the direction they are heading.
"I represent the base and when Im frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy. I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran," she said. "I dont think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."
She doubled down on those complaints over the weekend, and then called out Trump specifically.
"I gave my vote for a Biden/Democrat funding and policy CR once because my President asked me to, but I will not do it again," the lawmaker wrote on X. "Going forward, earning my vote for funding and policies will be defined by these issues." ....................

(1,250 posts)What "disrespect" to the Republican Fuhrer! What insolence! What public insubordination to the Fuhrer! Obviously, the Party cannot abide by this. You aren't going to "take" this, are you, Herr Turd? As you know, Ernst Julius Günther Röhm had to be "punished." What would Kim Jong un do when something like this occurs? Think, Turd. Think hard, Turd.

(1,250 posts)Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton are mind-controlling Ms. Barge now. The communists, the socialists and the leftist radicals have gotten to her -- she no longer follows the Party line. Better have the ICE Gestapo pick her up and render her to El Salvador -- for her own safety and good since she now is a danger to herself with her unpatriotic "anti-war" talk.

I've read a little about the "deal" Krasnov made with Zelensky.
Ukraine will pay for weapons going forward and owes nothing for past supplies. So that being the case there will be no more taxes spent on the support of Ukraine.
CDC is being significantly impacted by job cuts and Krasnov further directing more cuts to the budget. And with RFK jr she doesn't have to worry about vaccines being forced on anyone.
She says she won't vote for one that raises taxes on hard working business owners, but yet the Krasnov tariffs will be enough to destroy businesses.
She wants to include no tax on tips. But many warn it may enable employers to pay even less an hour.

No tax on overtime. Project 2025's plan is to eliminate overtime definition as we have known it. Allowing employers to adjust hours to avoid it or paid time off in ileui of wages.Hence no overtime pay no taxes on overtime.
And no tax on social security sounds like a wonderful thing and it would be great for our house however I am only finding how this would increase the US debt. Report is that 1.5 trillion would be lost in revenue over 10 years. Maybe don't eliminate the taxes but send the rax money from social security back to social security.

It's very early in the morning so I may have read this wrong. I'll have another cup of coffee and re-read and edit if necessary.
