What have we done to deserve Marjorie Taylor Greene?

The 118th Congress — who is responsible for this train wreck of a legislative body?

Is it them or is it us? Because to quote Erykah Badu, I think we “made a wrong turn back there somewhere.”

How is it possible that the same caucus that drove Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) out of office is thinking of a sequel because their hand-picked replacement in the speaker’s chair, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), is daring to try to govern? It’s as if they expected him to just obstruct until November, while the nation’s business ground to a halt. “No compromise” might be a powerful slogan on the campaign trail, but democracy by definition is compromise.

Yet here we are, with the far-right fringe of the House GOP back to shut down the government if that’s what it takes to get everything they want. Even after we’ve all seen what happens when the Matt Gaetzes actually get what they want.

She opens her yap, spews out drivel, & the rubes open their wallets. That's why she's there. She's the rodeo clown of the GOP.
