Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.

      In all seriousness, it seems like a disproportionate chunk of the time that I see a House member doing something wacky, its from Georgia.

      Some years back, I remember discussions about the US reinforcing the Guam garrison, and Hank Johnson in Congressional hearings saying that he was worried that Guam was going to tip over and capsize.

      He’s still in office up there, but he’s at least pretty laid back. He replaced Cynthia McKinney, who was definitely not laid back and infamous for her own brand of conspiracy craziness (other end of the political spectrum from Marjorie Taylor Greene, but wacky as well).

      There has got to be something in the water in northern Georgia, because the “House Representative going bonkers” quota is pretty disproportionately represented in the news that I’ve seen out of there.

      And it’s not because I’m in Georgia or thereabouts and just seeing local political spatting – this is stuff that makes national news.

          What are you, some kind of socialist? If we start giving people free tests, they’ll be asking for free treatment next!

        Hank was a good guy overall, but the tipping over thing remains possibly the absolute stupidest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say. Its just so damn stupid.

        Yeah: go back to the nineties and the man arguably most responsible for the hyper-partisanship in modern politics was also a rep in Georgia…Newt Filthypigfucker Gingrich

      She barely won her seat during a year that Republicans were going to “win big”. No way she holds on in 2024.

        I think you are thinking of Boebert in Colorado. I think Greene is in a very safe seat.

          Boebert … Greene

          Wait, aren’t those the same person who occasionally dons glasses and changes her wig/nametag?

            Bimboert will give you a handy for a vote though. That’s a tempting offer.

        There’s no Republican challenger, so it’s between her and a Democrat in a sparsely populated Republican district. Don’t hold your breath.

          Was it Green or another psycho that won because their supporters harassed the opponent so badly that it ruined his marriage and he dropped out?

        I have not checked, is there a viable candidate running against her? Any candidate running against her? Isn’t her district insanely red?
