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.

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

I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.

They have already said that they would: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/democrats-house-speaker-mike-johnson-motion-to-vacate-b2537337.html

She's just spewing shit, as always.

He is terrible, but he's better than any replacement, he's shown a willingness to work with Dems, and most importantly, if he ever breaks any promises, the Dems can sick him to the wolves.

They’d save him. He’s the least awful among a menagerie of traitors.

Who could they possibly replace him with who wouldn’t also be a dumpster fire?

It's basically political fanfiction but imagine if what you say happens but the Democrats also expand the Supreme Court and pass new voting rights laws. They could guarantee Republicans lose and it wouldn't even be unfair.

They won't touch abortion. It is too useful for their elections at the moment. 😭

Please let this happen.

Abortion protections will get blocked in the Senate, so the Dems will still have the issue to run on either way.

She tried to introduce an amendment about Hungarians in Ukraine not being allowed to speak their native language.

It's an extremely obscure conspiracy theory that happens to be one of Putin's big talking points. He brought it up in the Tucker Carlson interview. How the fuck does MTG know anything about ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia and what language they speak? She can barely string a sentence together herself.
