As to why it (IMO) qualifies:

"My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future," Greene wrote. "And their future and their entire generation's future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR."

Hence, she feels her support is threatening her kids.

"MTG getting her face eaten" was not on my 2025 bingo card, though she is in the early stage of face eating.

I still read it as Magic The Gathering every single time

Hasbro/WotC needs to send the Pinkertons after her to end this confusion

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder if she plays?

Probably not...

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Probably cheats with duplicate cards in Commander. On the upside, she keeps duplicating One With Nothing, so nobody calls her out.

Trump comes out with a Tweet calling out "Horse Face Marjorie" and she falls right back into line licking his boots in 3... 2... 1

This reality practically writes itself

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Since she's not running for Senate again, she has a lot of political cover to do what she wants TBH.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So she'll vote to impeach our mad king in the face of this betrayal, to support world peace, save countless lives, and... nope. She, like every single Republican (and many Democrats) voted not to impeach Trump.

Sure, the senate wouldn't actually convict and remove him from office, and maybe the timing could be better from a strategic standpoint... But to do nothing? When people are already disillusioned and politically disengaged!? Especially for people like Greene, who aren't even running again, which is historically the only time Republicans show any semblance of a spine. Trump is emboldened to do absolutely whatever he feels like because there are no consequences! Republicans are a disease...

If he comes out saying "beach blonde, bad built, butch body" I will lose my mind.

Also: Fight! Fight! Fight!

Why would magic the gathering do this?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hasbro is evil itself

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

She's so fucking dumb. 🤦‍♂️

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

OMG, she bred! We're doomed.

[–] db2@lemmy.world -5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm still in shock that she's a she, biologically.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, even homo erectus had females of their species. We should be honored to be in the presence of such a living fossil.

I just found out is Greene is not running for Senate in 2026, per her announcement in May:

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-declines-2026-senate-bid-wishes-ossoff-good-luck

"We all know how these elite retreats work," Greene wrote. "Many of the attendees hate Trump, backed DeSantis, look down on MAGA, and refused to fight when our election was stolen in 2020."

Basically she's saying she's dissatisfied with the Republican establishment, so this new statement is actually in line with recent ones. It's not hurting her that much.

It kinda weakens my "Leopards Ate My Face" justification (as politically she can do whatever she wants), hence I'm wondering if I should delete or move this post?

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To clarify she is currently in the House, not the Senate. So her declining to run in the Senate has nothing to do with her staying and running to stay in the House.

Also this statement is from May, and her complaints are that people aren't supporting Trump enough. Now in June, she isn't supporting Trump. That sounds Leopard to me.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah I got confused there.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

she sampled her own bullshit so much she believes it now.

🤣

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Anyone else a little confused that this is their line in the sand? Not injecting bleach?

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It’s actually a core tenant of actual “maga” not just “trump supporters” maga is extremely isolationist, a lot of them have experienced the Iraq war or had a child who did, it’s been maybe one of the very few consistent stances from maga from the start, they are staunchly against foreign war, “America first” is an explicitly isolationist slogan

This being so important to maga was actually one of the things I thought about first when I read about the Iran strikes, he’s absolutely abandoning a big chunk of the true believers and the thing about cults is it often only takes one thing to “shatter the glass” so to speak for some members, it just has to be the right thing to trigger it… there might be some serious fall out for him here at home over this

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's not really, MTG was already leaving the Senate and bashing the party/Senate before this, basically for not being conservative enough and too neoliberal.

My post is misleading TBH, I'm close to deleting it.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nono, that was a joke. This is important because Drumpf is supposed to punish more brown people, not less.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

She is an actual Nazi. Her ideal scenario is Israel and Iran killing each other off, and that won't happen with an American invasion of Iran.

[–] NeonNight@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

I’m guessing they see the writing on the wall with Trump losing more of his base, and want to vie for the favor of the people leaving that cult. There are a lot of voters that are gonna want another Trump-like persona to replace him.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She wouldn't care if it didn't affect her kids.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

I also would genuinely feel completely unthreatened by her shrill, impotent harpy-like posturing, even if I was an arthritic, evil scientist who had her children bound and suspended above a complicated device designed to extract their freedoms to power my Jewish space laser, and she'd just broken in to my hideout.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Even a stopped clock can be right for the wrong reasons.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

She, along with all other Republicans, voted to table Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution over the attack on Iran, so she’s failed the “put up or shut up” test.
