This news story begins:

Quote:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for bombing raids in Mexico to curtail illegal drug trafficking

The Georgia Republican revived a plan floated by Donald Trump, based accounts written in books by former defense secretary Mark Esper and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, to conduct targeted missile strikes against Mexican drug cartels.

Ughhh....

I have to ask: Is she being paid by Russia to try to turn Mexico into America's Ukraine?

Not saying this is necessarily the case, but I do wonder.

In any case, what she is advocating is not just inhumane but total foolishness in terms of U.S. national security strategy. We need Mexico to be our friend, not our enemy.

I've been asking myself this very same question about every GOP politician who openly sides with Russia.

I'm really starting to believe that some of our leaders have basically sold us out to our enemies in Russia (and China too) which is why these same leaders are trying to encourage instability.

Being paid or not, she's proposing exactly what Putin would love: the West getting into internal fights and chaos, so Russia can swallow smaller states with no one to stop it.

greene, gates, boebert, trump, that new guy that told 1000 lies on his resume etc - how do any of these clowns get elected in the first place? :?

I mean, of course they're to blame for their words and actions.. but some blame falls on the people foolish enough to elect them into office.

Like.. how ? :? It's mind boggling that voters don't just laugh these goofs out of the running in the first few days of their campaigns vs. vote them into positions of authority. W in the actual F? This is all some serious twilight zone stuff.

At least our politicians have to lie better to us and are mostly civil and just do regular corrupt stuff like enriching themselves and their friends, none of this q-mango cult stuff.

Honestly I really don't get it either... I have met Americans in both Georgia and Florida who openly support these clowns so I know it's unfortunately not an exaggeration that the people vote for them and support them.

Maybe it's just time to accept the fact that many Americans themselves are getting exactly what they have been voting for? Our government is turning into a hot mess. :|

Some of them have been fooled and don't want to/can't admit it or might not even realize. But others have been convinced by these nutters that they Should vote for people to destroy their system of government because it hasn't worked perfectly for them so tear it all down.. and they don't seem bright enough to see how terrible an idea this is because the people they're electing to tear things don't aren't exactly the types of intellectuals required to form a better system of government that will improve the lives of those they convinced to elect them. They're just wrecking balls with no real plan but to boost their own egos as little dictators who managed to overthrow the US gov't and stick it to the libs - after that there is no plan.. much like wanting to repeal Obamacare and having nothing to replace it with.

I think it is safe to say at this point that we are turning into a literal kakistocracy...

Greene needs to keep reminding us how she's the biggest idiot in government today, lest we forget.

The fact that there are others like her in our government is terrifying though.

I just Hope that some stupid thing she's said is incriminating enough to get her charged and convicted of something so she can't be in any sort of position of authority/leadership/governance.
