In reply to the discussion: Alyssa Milano: An Open Letter to Marjorie Taylor Greene [View all]gfarber
(168 posts)22. Piss on MTG
A congresswoman once took the lead,
In boosting a bold MAGA creed.
But the tide turned one day,
When her hero looked away
And she learned what her backing had bred.
Shed long praised a man as her star,
Claiming loyaltys what made him jar.
But when arrows she faced,
By his own hand displaced,
She saw how illusions can scar.
Shed nurtured a movement so bright,
Ignoring its cracks in plain sight.
But when chaos drew near,
And the blame shifted here
She found she was part of the plight.
Now she calls for concern from the crowd,
As the figure she boosted grows loud.
Yet the truth, hard to take,
Is the role she did make
In the storm thats enveloped her now.
There once was a rep from GA,
Who cheered every wild MAGA play.
But when Trump turned around
And declared her unsound,
She learned monsters dont always obey.
Shed sworn he was loyal and grand,
The most stable of men in the land.
But with one random post,
He declared her the most!
Which sounds nice till you learn what he planned.
She helped build a movement quite loud,
One that always drew quite the odd crowd.
But when drama arose
And it snapped at her toes,
She said, WaitI didnt approve this! (Out loud.)
Now shes shocked that the chaos she stirred
Has decided to turn on its herd.
But you cant bake a pie
Made of nonsense and lies
And complain when the outcomes absurd.
She once called him a genius, a star,
Said his instincts were golden by far.
But the moment he spit
At herjust a bit
She yelled, WHO KNEW things could go this bizarre?!

I get her righteous anger... But so much of MTG is performative that I'm just content to let her fade away...

2 days after her pension is vested? Ha! I hadn't heard that. Makes sense for her.

Her pension is probably only about 12-15k a yr. And she cant get it for another 11yrs

I think it is more than that, more like $40-$45 and she doesn't need the money because she

You must serve 5yrs & its based on 1.7% of your highest 3 yrs; so not close to 40k
