The "moron" faction is holding Congress hostage

Two former Members of Congress from Virginia spoke at an event in Charlottesville Friday where they decried the current do-nothing Congress.

L. F. Payne, Democrat, who represented Virginia's 5th District 1988 - 1997, and Barbara Comstock, Republican, who represented the 10th District 2015-2019, both now members of the Former Members of Congress organization, were quite vocal as to the reason for the do-nothing Congress.

“In the last Congress, I think there were over 500 pieces of legislation that were passed,” Payne said, adding that’s on track with recent history. “This Congress by comparison, now three-fourths of the way through, has passed 69 pieces of legislation. So it is clearly by many measurements dysfunctional.”

Now serving as president of Former Members of Congress, or FMC, a bipartisan nonprofit group, part of Payne’s job is to help remedy that dysfunction. But it’s a tall order.

Comstock singled out Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom she called a “moron” and an “embarrassment.” She faulted the media for focusing on figures such as Greene instead of those who have a track record of policy-making.

“Then the next idiot knows, ‘Great, I’ll get coverage. I can raise money if I say something even more stupid than what Marjorie said.’ Unfortunately, that’s what’s rewarded in the press,” Comstock said.

With Moscow Marjie leading the charge, who can resist calling them what they are?

I smell DEFEAT come November for many of the House MAGAts in districts Biden won in 2020 as well as those Democrats performed very well in in 2022. These people are wasting taxpayer's money by their incessant bickering.
