She's still a nasty mean-girl. But she realized she got on the wrong side of a more powerful bully. There was no way she could pull off an about-face on Epstein. Her son's life was threatened. When Trump's gone, she'll be back like a bad penny.
I don't get a lot of poetry, but Gary has hit this particular nail right on the head. His poesy has hit me right square between wherever things like this hit people.
Ta, Gary. We own mementos of Marjorie Taylor Greene's insanity: Dissent Pins! They say Secret Jewish Space Laser Corps -- Mazel Tough. My husband and I each own one. When antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric started leaking into NYC, beloved Meccalopolis asked me to take mine, along with my rainbow gay pride button, off my jacket. I complied; he was, as always, protecting me. I treasure him, and our Dissent Pins.
Someone more clever than I described Marge's departure as "The devil went BACK down to Georgia", but sadly, she's probably still skulking around DC. Her boyfran is there, after all.
For all that preening toughness, she proved to be a marshmallow as soon as she started to get crosswise with the leadership of her party. Unlike AOC, Omar or the others, Greene folded under the first hint of pressure. That tends to happen when you combine the utter lack of a sustainable, coherent belief system with bad overall character.
Also members of the squad were well-informed, educated, and focused. By her own admission, Greene -- along with Lauren Boebert -- was a completely ignorant ditz when she chose to run for office. She just didn't know anything and congressing turns out to be, well, work. There's stuff to read. Things to know. I don't think she accomplished anything of note legislatively and spent her two terms mostly talking insane conspiracy theories and stirring shit. She'll probably be replaced by someone equally or more nuts, but it is rural Georgia. They get the representation they deserve.

Squats in the morning
What is blonde? What is orange?
The sun on red dirt
Oh go fuck off Marge
The adults are in charge and
You've done nothing worthy to note
You've disgraced the chamber
Yet will be remembered
Less trustworthy than a stoat
Insider trading to keep you afloat
Your existence, just MAGA bloat.
(Apologies to proper poets; I'm exhausted, and there may have been Mount Gay rum involved this evening).

Who’s Marjorie Taylor Greene?
I think she used to be in Congress.
Adieu. We may no longer have each other in Congress, but we'll always have the Musée des Confluences in Lyon.
Kthnxbye piggy
“slip off into history’s mists with barely a Madison Cawthorn-shaped ripple”. Brilliant!
Read that out loud in a Dolemite voice

The sooner we'll stop hearing from/about her, the better.
Who?
(....or would it be 'whom?')
This is Boobert's time to shine!
No beetle left unjuiced!
Well when she dropped a dime on the Jewish space lasers you knew her days were limited.
