And waiting till January gets her a nice fat government pension after a whole 5 years of service.
1. No one with just 5 years in Congress gets what would be a “full” pension. Congressional pensions are prorated by the numbers of years served - Greenes 5 years gets her a much reduced pension.
2. Greenes pension cannot begin till she is at least age 61, which means she’ll have to wait 10 years before it can start.
Well, nobody is going to admit it, but this whole Congress thing is about nothing more than getting rich quick. Not on the salary, because of the connections, public image, and inside information they have access to. It’s obvious.
MTG has always been all about MTG Inc. first and foremost. Just like AOC, she’s done everything possible to elevate her public image and stature as a leader and spokesperson. As Ann Coulter proved, you don’t sell books and make millions without being controversial and taking contrarian stands. Margie has maxxed-out on that and where can she go in Congress now that she pressed her luck and lost the DJT endorsement? Fight like hell for another two years, every two years and end up on the short end of the stick even if she wins now that Trump isn’t on her side.
Far more lucrative to get out now, leverage her public image into punditry and consulting. Her “Why Trump Lost Me” book will probably be worth a $5 million advance and she’s narcissistic enough to think she can become Governor of GA, which she won’t be, but the run will further elevate her image.
All she needs to complete the picture is a 20-something jock on her arm, and the paparazzi in her driveway. Cougar heaven.
Great point. SO sick of MTG and her drama.
