Funny how she was hated for years by the left and she was fine. Hated by the right for a few days and she felt the need to hire security and then resign.

Obviously it’s because the far left terrorist antifa are so insidious they make their death threats silently, so that no one else even knows. Only the brave and courageous MAGA warn the actual victim.
She wasn't "hated by the right for a few days", her life and her family were threatened. She hired more security and still doesn't feel safe now that maga freaks are against her. For all its faults, that's the difference between Democrats and Republicans...
I think that's their point
Indeed, you have grasped the salient point.
She announced her resignation (just ever so conveniently) a couple days after her pension ability kicked in, and after she'd made millions in stock trades.
But also after she wanted to run for Senate but Trump said "no," so I don't think this was all about cashing in on a government pension and quitting or she wouldn't have had those aspirations.
This is likely because she supported the release of the Epstein files and Trump wasn't happy. He's already called her a traitor because of this.
She also burned Trump by championing the Epstein file release. Her voting base has rebelled and she knows there is no re-election in her future no matter where she goes. As much as I do not like her and her politics she literally sacrificed herself before leaving. It was a grand show to likely hide your point that she just passed the pension cut off. But it was one hella of a way to go. MAGA is in shambles.
Whatever her reasons for doing so, she was calling out Trump for some of his bullshit, and that was getting the arguments on Fox "News", which meant a few MAGA were hearing it, possibly for the first time. That was good.
I can only imagine the pressure put on her to quit. It's no surprise she caved.
She got rich so...
Right? Boo hoo.
These mfers get a pension after five years? And they keep it if they quit? Like why aren't more of them giving up early access to information for stock trades?
Is she stepping back to run for a different office? Did the death threats get to her? Did she make enough money and contacts she doesn't need to do this shit anymore? Only time will tell since you can't trust them to be honest!
She made 22mil, retirement time
In reality, most people dont stop once they reach "retirement money."
People have retirement money?
People say that, but I moved to China immediately when I had retirement money and haven't worked since
I know it does happen some but it seems rare. Also anecdotal but most of the people I know who had it made like that had gotten their money as salespeople and/or at a tech startup and just kept on chasing that rabbit. Likely just a different cross-section of people who are more ambitious (or greedy.)
I'd love to see an actual study of it, especially comparing vocations.
I plan to stop as soon as o have retirement money. I’ll be close to 90 then but I’ll stop
She made her money, that's all. The rest is just theatre.
I was just starting to warm up to her. I mean, she's still a vile human being, don't get me wrong, but she was at LONG LAST asking the correct questions, only to be immediately shut down. I hope MAGA takes note of this.
Oh, who am I kidding. Trump could personally rape their kids and they'd still defend him.
. . . on Saturday morning, Trump dubbed Greene “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown.”
Geez he really is losing it. That's weak.
All the kids were saying Perjury Traitor Greed six years ago.
She's up to something.
What a loss. Oh the humanity!
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Bye, bitch.
May she feel, every minute of every day, the same existential fear for her safety and life that she's made a career of making every minority and woman in America feel.
She's going to get some kind of cushy book tour from the #NeverTrump Republicans and cash in on her "I'm in the president's party but I don't like him" the same way Ron Paul dined out as an anti-Bush Republican for over a decade.
Nothing bad ever actually happens to these people, with the special exception of Charlie Kirk
So what is the local election likely for the state? Was it close last time? Are there good potential progressives or at least a dem who could win? Does this potentially tip the Senate a bit?
Well the AP chose to quote the county republiQan chairman as to the next steps to fill her seat.
Which probably was on purpose. Even though it's going to be an open special election so hey - Social Democrats of . . . wherever in Georgia - now's the time
It temporarily narrows the House majority even further. It's a very red district, so the next rep will almost certainly be a Republican unfortunately
Is this necessary? Is there a mandatory resignation period? Wish it would happen faster.
She criticized the party too loudly and too often. Bet she got told to leave. Wonder what compromising material they have on her to force her out.
Came here to post this, but you beat me to it.
