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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cesSRfXqS1Q 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] DontMakeMoreBabies@kbin.social 28 points 2 years ago (1 child) Have we checked all the voters for hookworm? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) What are you, some kind of socialist?
