In a political climate that has become more akin to an absurdist play than a functioning republic, we arrive at the latest installment of “What will they come up with next?” courtesy of Marjorie Taylor Greene. Folks, it’s like a plot twist in the trashiest of soap operas, but instead of being penned by an overworked writer on their fifth espresso shot, it’s actually happening in the head-spinning circus of Capitol Hill.
Our beloved Greene has suggested – without a whiff of irony, mind you – that the dastardly Dems are concocting a plot fit for a Shakespearean tragedy: to have none other than Donald Trump murdered in the big house. Before our collective jaws hit the floor, let’s dive into the spectacle with abject horror and a pinch of bemused sarcasm.
The Breakdown
- Bizarre Plot Twists Are So In Season
- Say what you will, but Greene’s imagination is giving George R.R. Martin a run for his money. A death plot as a political strategy is so outrageous, so melodramatic, that I nearly checked to see if I was accidentally streaming “House of Cards”.

- Conspiracy Theories: The New National Pastime
- Baseball is out, guys, and conspiracy theories are in. Forget home runs; let’s talk about homegrown plots. Interestingly, Greene’s batting average for accuracy remains astonishingly low, but who’s counting when the field is this entertaining?

- A Dash of Paranoia Keeps The Doctor Away
- Who needs apples? For some, paranoia is the daily vitamin that fuels every bewildered glance over the shoulder. Are the Dems concocting a murderous plot, or did someone just forget to refill Marjorie’s prescription for reality?

- Orange Is The New Black – Or Dead, According to Greene
- With Trump’s potential jumpsuit fitting on the horizon, Greene is less worried about fashion faux pas and more concerned that he won’t live long enough to step out in seasonal prison chic.

- And The Oscar For Best Drama Goes To…
- Keep it up, and MTG might just be in the running for an Academy Award – if there was a category for best performance in a political theater. I’d ask for an encore, but I’m afraid of what comes next.

The Counter
- Massive Misunderstandings Make For Great Policy, Right?
- Forget reading bills or drafting legislation; the real political prowess is found in wildly misinterpreting situations. Greene’s acute misunderstanding of both her colleagues’ ethics and the law is, frankly, a master class in misinforming the public.

- If You Can’t Beat Them, Accuse Them of Murder
- When policy discussions get tough, the go-to strategy now seems to be accusing the other side of something nefarious. Next week, I’m expecting accusations that Nancy Pelosi is actually an alien overlord. Stay tuned.

- World’s Worst Game of Clue
- In this round of political Clue, it was the Democrats, in the jailhouse, with the… nothing, because it’s all baseless. But don’t worry, the game is already rigged for the next round of fantasy.

- Just Add Water For Instant Conspiracy Soup
- Is “Instant Conspiracy” the new flavor hitting the shelves? Just add water, a pinch of paranoia, and you’ve got yourself a Greene-certified special that leaves a taste of confusion and hysteria.

- Historical Reference or Hysterical Nonsense?
- With all the talk of murderous schemes, it’s like we’re revisiting the Ides of March. But instead of Julius Caesar, it’s the GOP’s beloved Caesar dressing mascot, and instead of Brutus, it’s every Democrat, apparently.

The Hot Take
Look, in this comedy of errors that we call modern-day politics, maybe the real solution isn’t a liberal or conservative one – maybe it’s a sanity one. The fix could be as simple as choosing reality over fiction, fact-checking over fear-mongering, and maybe, just maybe, leading with the kind of integrity that deserves our vote instead of a facepalm.
And if MTG wants to avoid such alleged dire endings, how about we focus on fostering an atmosphere of cooperation rather than turning the Capitol into the latest season of a murder mystery? I’d call that a plot twist worth pursuing.
