A Republican Congresswoman who has been “missing” for the past six months has finally been found.

Rep. Kay Granger has served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.

However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.

A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.
[…]

We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.

The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility.

    To be fair, dementia is not much of a hindrance for making GOP policies.

      It’s not cognitive dissonance if you can’t remember what your values were to begin with.

      It’s not a hindrance for either party. Did you watch the first presidential debate?

        I’m not sure if the people downvoting you didn’t watch the debate or are so tribal that they’re offended by legitimate criticism of Biden

          It’s not even criticism, really.

          It’s just an observation, no different than looking up and saying the sky is blue.

          Truthfully, though, this is a criticism of both parties. Trump is clearly brain-damaged too, and he showed is several times during the campaign. The difference is he’s still able to behave as expected, more-or-less, where Biden is not.

            It appears like angry and demented is sustainable branding. You can keep getting paid as a politician long after your mental acuity has flown the coop.

          Don’t get mad at me. I’m not the one who fielded a brain-damaged presidential candidate.

              TBH, me neither.

              Gotta love that a functioning brain is no longer a requirement to be president.
