I can’t stand it. I really can’t. Just when we are able to get rid of one of the certifiable morons in Congress (Jamaal Bowman), others reminds us just how incompetent they are, and in doing so, just how unfit to vote so many of our fellow citizens are as well.
Rep. Greene really and truly sent out that tweet on the Fourth of July. She is a classic Dunning-Kruger case. She thinks she’s smart: I would bet on Fredo beating her in a game of Scrabble, and that’s even after he was shot in the head. She sent this out into cyber-space, and didn’t even have the sense to check her “facts.” How stupid is that?
It would have taken maybe three minutes on Google for Greene to find out that her list of signers of the Declaration is wildly wrong. I know I’ve posted this before, but it’s too on point not to highlight again, the Bob and Ray skit about the longshoreman who has written a history of the United States. Greene could take the part of the hilariously ignorant “historian” without missing a beat. Greene thinks Paul Revere signed the Declaration of Independence? That’s in the same league as thinking Barbara Fritchie signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
The GOP will never shake its reputation as “The Stupid Party” if it keeps running embarrassingly unqualified narcissists and wackos like George Santos, Lauren Boebert and Greene for Congressional seats. I don’t know if Greene is the dumbest member of Congress or not, but at her abysmal level of competence, the question is academic. She makes her party, Congress and democracy itself look bad, as well as our educational system.
Let’s see where she went to college…Oh! The University of Georgia! Well, there’s a school whose graduates I would recommend avoiding when your company is hiring. It managed to graduate someone who can’t read, doesn’t know how to research a topic, lacks critical thinking skills, and is laboring under the delusion that she has something of value to say to her fellow citizens when she doesn’t.
On top of that, she obviously couldn’t follow the plot of “1776.”
What an idiot.

You’ve got George Santos twice in this sentence:
“The GOP will never shake its reputation as “The Stupid Party” if it keeps running embarrassingly unqualified narcissists and wackos like George Santos, Lauren Boebert and George Santos for Congressional seats.”
Yeah, well he’s twice the embarrassment of the others….(fixed)
This may be an ad hominem assault on an entire region of the state, and I’m sure it’s an unfair slander of some residing there, but it should be noted that Rep. Greene’s congressional district includes the part of Georgia where the novel and film Deliverance was set.
Noting that I may have learned disdain toward that area in my childhood; I was born and raised an “S.o.B.” in Charleston, S.C. (It stands for residents “South of Broad” St., Jack) which is the oldest and snootiest part of a city that famously looks down on the less refined. There’s a description of Charleston as “the Boston of the South”, but a Charlestonian would clarify that Boston is “the Charleston of the North”.
I did not know that! So she has the idiot-savant banjo prodigy bloc, then…
The perspiration caused by the sexual activity of area residents has been referred to as relative humidity…

Too busy perfecting her form doing power cleans to fact check her list!
The thing about the Republicans is that they don’t seem to have any imagination beyond winning the election. The election is the metaphorical car the Republican dogs have been chasing. They have no idea what they would do once they caught the car, should they ever catch the car.
With Biden determined to stay in the game, with the Democratic party descending into chaos over Biden’s newly-revealed dementia, it should be a cakewalk for the Republicans to sweep into the White House and control of both House and Senate. The only obstacle that remains that could possibly defeat a red-wave is the Republican party.
I think this is pretty much correct. There might have been a brief diversion from that in the days of the “Contract with America” – where at least the GOP attempted to lay out a platform – but even that was when it was the party out-of-power in the Executive branch.
It’s been my observation (like yours, I suppose) that Republicans in Congress do not know how to lead from the majority or with a Republican President. They seem to be terrible at it, and are only marginally better when in the minority.
I’ve got 20 bucks that says she wouldn’t get your Aristophanes reference, either.
Ya think? No, I’m not taking that bet.
Ah, the South. Fire away when ready, of course, Yankees.
But having gone to college in upstate New York, lived in Massachusetts for a year (Can you say “Southy” boys and girls? Sure you can.) and attended law school back home in Indiana (Gomer Pyle?), I’ve decided to coin a term for the denizens of those sorts of areas who would be called rednecks if they resided south of the Mason Dixon Line and, I don’t know, east of western Arkansas: “Morons of the North.” And “morons” is pronounced “MOE-ronz.” That way we can talk about the guys bombing around in their rusted out twenty-, thirty- or even forty-year-old Camaros, when they’re not overdosing on fentanyl.
