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.

        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.

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