Is Marjorie 'Judas' Greene Betraying Donald Trump?
By Brian C. Joondeph

Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus’s 12 Apostles.

In the Garden of Gethsemane the night before Jesus's crucifixion, Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin who eventually arrested Jesus.

Jesus predicted this betrayal during the Last Supper. In exchange for his treachery, Judas received thirty pieces of silver. Could he have also been threatened? Who knows? The Bible says nothing about that.

Modern day betrayals, particularly of leaders, occur via carrot or stick, reward or kompromat.

For Judas, the price was a pocket of silver coins. For members of Congress, the price may be a do-nothing board seat, a cable news gig, or stock options worth millions.

The stick may be revelations about personal indiscretions, financial, sexual, or otherwise. The same intelligence and law enforcement agencies that spied on candidate and President Donald Trump are almost certainly spying on elected officials, enlisting their support to avoid embarrassment to themselves and their families, or even legal consequences.

Timber Rattler:
No, she's finally learning that loyalty runs only one way with Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene officially 'kicked out' of Freedom Caucus, GOP lawmaker says

Buck: MTG was 'kicked out' of the Freedom Caucus after she 'consistently attacked other members'

WASHINGTON — A member of the House Freedom Caucus confirmed Wednesday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been removed from the conservative group, citing her repeated “attacks” on GOP colleagues.

“She’s not a member of the Freedom Caucus, and she shouldn’t be in the future,” Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., said in an appearance on NBC News' “Meet the Press NOW” in some of the most definitive comments yet about Greene’s status in the group.

Greene, a fundraising powerhouse with an enormous social media following, has been one of former President Donald Trump’s top defenders on Capitol Hill. She is the first lawmaker to be ousted from the Freedom Caucus since it was started in 2015 by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, then-Reps. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and others.

Other members of the ultraconservative group had said a vote was taken June 23 to eject Greene over her altercation with Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and her vocal support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s ultimately successful bid for speaker and his trillion-dollar debt-ceiling deal with President Joe Biden.

Maj. Bill Martin:
So in this analogy, Trump is Jesus.   

The American Stinker strikes again!  :poo:


I think what MTG is doing is self-serving and only hurts/marginalizes conservatism.  That being said, the idea that she is betraying Trump -- even leaving aside the ridiculous Judas comparison -- is bogus.  She has no moral obligation to support a particular Speaker just because Trump does.
