(No court case theme this time - it's back to "Saltwater Croc v Triceratops" or something...)
We've all probably discussed this political feud between President Trump and Congresswoman (till Jan 5th, '26) Marjorie Taylor Greene, (R-Georgia). It's old news now, but at least the dust has settled, and there's still much to rant about. We'll start with the "he said, she said" stuff that would be appropriate for People magazine.
From what I read after the fact, the memo that Trump wrote to MTG that started this feud, "advice" of some sort that she shouldn't run for US Senator from Georgia based on polls saying she'd lose badly, was sent to her non-publicly. That's a first for Trump, well, as far as we know. What was the point of that? I don't really see one.* Mrs Greene, as we greatly enjoyed noticing** is one of the very few hard-core loyalists AND someone who was very loyal to Trump.
MTG may just have had enough of Trump's inappreciativeness of her in general, as he bitched about her votes against warmongering, and pushed for release of the Epstein files, something he obviously has wanted to drop, big campaign promises notwithstanding.
Let's digress a tad toward this Epstein deal in the context of Trump v MTG. As opposed to his standard issue boastful bullshitting, or (to be generous) forgetful lying by omission (see Trump, you lie!), it was Trump's blowing off of his promise to release (what's left of) the Epstein files that was an ugly display of real standard-issue political lying by the man. See Jeff Epstein's Fantasy Island: clients, personnel, and the point for the video and commentary. OTOH, as MTG has pushed the Epstein issue, to the great ire of President Trump, she has made it all about the girls. That's not what it's about.
Face it, these girls were not 10 y/o’s. They weren’t exactly kidnapped, were they?. As much as they shouldn’t have been let to get into any of this by their parents, sorry, but I’m not that bent out of shape about the girls. The big story is how much blackmail was going on and by (you know) whom? Yes, that’s assuming the info has not all been trashed. Now, is MTG naive about this? I think it's rather that she's making the story about the girls to goad the Regime Media into being on her side and, per Unz Review commenter Hypnotoad666 here:
No one can call her a conspiracy theory anti-Semite while she’s standing in front of these poor victims. (Even though, let’s face it, they are really just a bunch of middle-aged former (hopefully) prostitutes who got rich off their services plus the huge NDA payments that followed — notice that essentially none of them are naming names or talking specifics — because that would violate their big dollar hush-money contracts.Good point. Right now, the Epstein Files is a card game of redaction reaction now, with each side's sleaziest and most blackmailed high officials having their files "lost" as quickly as possible by their team. Then, with all cards played, it's time to show the players' hands, and the one with the most "Trump" (haha) cards showing loses.
Back to the feud, as MTG publicly showed her annoyance at Trump's disloyalty to her with his advice for her future, he then, like the Drama Queen he can be, promised to work against her as she campaigned for her Congressional seat in '26. That was as low and vindictive as his stupidity with -45 A/G Jeff Sessions back in '17-'18. Trump could have politely "let Mr. Sessions go" due to the latter's "family issues" rather than publicly feuding with him via tweets about "Sleepy Jeff" for a couple of YEARS! The worst and most stupid part of that story was Trump's (also) working against Mr. Sessions, the immigration-invasion A+ rated politician he was, in Mr. Sessions big for the GOP primary for his possible return to the US Senate from Alabama.
It's not like I've been keeping up with The View show with great anticipation (you'd have to threaten me in some manner to get me to watch that), but Mrs. Greene had had enough of Trump's 14-y/o-school-girl-style vendetta against her to push back by hanging with the useful idiots of the ctrl-left. Was that just to push the Epstein release forward? I don't know. It IS going forward, unless Trump has lied about it yet again.
At about that point in the internal MAGA drama, I read the ZeroHedge story written from MTG's side, 'I Refuse To Be A Battered Wife' - Marjorie Taylor Green Abandoning House Seat.
From that post, here is MTG's goodbye video, directed at her Georgia District 14 constituents but also to America:
I don't think Congress should be a lifelong career, or an assisted-living facility.. LOL! and Thanks, MTG. To comply with the Internet Fairness Doctrine, Peak Stupidity will excerpt Trump's side here. Fair warning: It makes him sound like an asshole:
Marjorie "Traitor" Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it "quits." Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he votes against the Republican Party (and really good legislation!), did not help her. For some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD. Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country! President DJTMaybe not an asshole but El Caudillo Yanqui, is what it makes him sound like.
Though I don't like the way she's played up the "poor girls!" angle*** on the Epstein story, and I surely don't agree with her stance on Government healthcare she touted in the video above, MTG has been more MAGA than Trump-47, even with the latter's surprisingly good work on Job #1. On Job #1, while Trump has used administrative action to cut down H1B Visas drastically - that is, if he follows through, MTG had brought up a bill to eliminate the program. I can see both sides. MTG would likely have gone nowhere with the bill among the UniParty without big support from Trump. His ego, however, would not put up with supporting someone else's idea. OTOH, his way may have been the only realistic way on this. Come a ctrl-left administration, it all changes back though.
Should MTG have stood with the President on everything, right or wrong, on the BBB and the rest? I do understand having to make compromises to get, for example a couple of hundred Billion dollars for serious border control and deportations. The budget is a bust anyway, so we may as well get 'er done with it, Job #1 that is. Some other disagreements should not have meant that she's not loyal to him. He's not King, after all, and she's not on the Board of his Real Estate company.
MTG is against the US warmongering, a Trump broken promise - second take. She's stood up against AIPAC. She's attempted to censure Ilhan Omar, (D-SO) on the House floor for treason. (MTG v IOU) She's MAGA all the way. Now, the vindictive Drama Queen Donald Trump has pushed her to say "Fuck this shit!" I don't blame her. Here's hoping Marjorie Taylor Greene comes back into politics at a later date. Who wins Trump v MTG? I'd say they've both lost.
* After all, were MTG to lose said race and not be able to keep her House seat (not sure why she couldn't anyway), Trump could have appointed this most loyal MAGA lady to a useful position in his Administration. Really, he could and should have already done that. If she's got the integrity to not vote for Ukraine war funding, AIPAC wishes, etc, why not appoint her to some useful position?
** More here - - here, and here.
*** It reminds me very much of Fentanyl, Fentanyl, Fentanyl! and MOAR Vetting!!. Both are angles for political purposes, not the root problems.

PS
It is interesting to view this rift expansively, beyond politics. It reminds me of the conundrum a parent faces when his offspring behaves in a way that the parent disapproves. The parent’s conundrum is to try to heal the rift, or, even take the nihilistic route of “you’re not my daughter anymore.” Trump could have quietly sat down with advisers and said “We need to talk about Marjorie.”*
Maybe he did…I wonder. And if he did, what did they say?
*Of course my phrase borrows from the movie “We need to talk about Kevin.” The phrase entered the language after the movie, although I haven’t heard it used recently.

PS: I guess you're on the other side of The Pond for now, Alarmist. You may want to come back to Florida soon before you miss the whole winter.
Happy Thursday, then, in that case.
I had to look up Mothra:
"She is typically portrayed as a colossal sentient larva (caterpillar) or imago, accompanied by two miniature fairies speaking on her behalf. Unlike several other Toho monsters, Mothra is a largely heroic character, having been variously portrayed as a protector of her own island culture,"
I'm for Mothra then, against Godzilla, but I don't know all the facts on the ground... errr, silver screen.
Would Trump be Godzilla and MTG Mothra, would you say?

How about Godzilla v. Mothra?
Happy Thanksgiving, or as they say over here, Happy Thursday, y’all.

I have reviews of both the book and the movie on this site, SafeNow.
One wonders if Trump's advisors, had he even talked to them, would have tried to get him to think strategically and not be so emotional about this.
For Trump, it's now "I have no (MAGA) daughter."
