Checking In With That QAnon Rep From Georgia, Who's Feeling Ambushed by Basic Facts

Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to be one of 
Congress' most visible train wrecks. 

 Poor little Marjorie Taylor Greene, that nutjob Congress creature from Georgia who is a big QAnon fan, among other things.   

She's had a rough go of it lately, but she keeps fighting on. So the update:

The latest go arounds started a little over a week ago, when Greene informed us that Guam is a foreign country and demanded we stop sending them damn fereners money.

To put Greene's February 27 quote out there:  "We love our country, we believe our hard-earned tax dollars should just go for America, not for, what, China, Russia, the Middle East, Guam, whatever, whatever. Right?"

Wrong. 

As pretty much everybody else on the planet knows, no matter what you think about overseas spending by America, Guam is part of the United States. Been that way since 1899. Of course, white people are a minority on Guam, so Greene probably figures everybody who's not white is a foreigner. 

I'm sure people in Guam were offended by Greene, but they handled it politely.  A contingent of Guam United States National Guard members stopped by her office, bearing cookies and the message that Guam is indeed, a U.S. territory. 

Greene wasn't there for the Guam National Guard visit.  Later, though, she melted down over the subject. 

As Pacific Daily News reported, Greene sent a letter to the Pentagon saying Guam Del. Michael San Nicolas lead "more than two dozen National Guard troops to ambush my office unannounced."

Ambushed? I suppose if the National Guard opened fire with their service rifles, that would have been a problem. But they brought cookies. If anybody want to ambush me with cookies, please do so! 

A bit of a snowflake comment there, huh Marjorie?

To Greene, cookies really are intimidating. She goes on in her letter describing what she thinks is a "dangerous and troubling trend of our armed forces being used to intimidate civilians harass members of Congress and their staff and attack conservative journalists for expressing their views."

All over a plate of cookies? Jeez!  

Elsewhere this month, the House voted 413-12 to give a Congressional Gold Medal to Capitol Police who fended off the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol building.  A truly bipartisan vote.  Yay!

Greene, of course, was one of the 12 who voted against honoring the police. Why? Because she and the other 11 disliked the fact that the bill to honor the Capitol police called the insurrection, well, an insurrection.

Then what the hell was it, Marjorie?  A cookie bake off? Oh, wait, I forgot. You don't like cookies. Never mind.   

Greene has already gotten herself so unpopular that Democrats want her removed from Congress in part because she "advocated violence against our peers, the speaker and our government."

This after she was kicked off committee assignments earlier this year because she's so awful.

The move to kick Greene out of Congress entirely has little chance of approval. But if that many people don't want to play in the sandbox with you, it might be time to reconsider the way you play.

But I doubt our buddy Marjorie will do that. She's too invested in her own nastiness, conspiratorial thinking and self-centeredness to change.  

If nothing else, she will just remain sort of a train wreck source of entertainment to us political junkies.
