PMT: MTG Fails to Oust Mike Johnson
Yesterday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene failed to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson in a battle between to far-right characters. A staunch pro-Russian Republican legislator (yeah, that's where we are-- there are lots of pro-Russian US legislators), she was mad at Johnson because he pushed through a bill that aided Ukraine. In a historic first, Johnson saved his post because the House Democrats voted for him along with most Republicans-- if they had voted against him, he would have been out.
The House is a messy place these days. The last time I was in DC (last month), I popped into Rep. Ayanna Pressley's office, which is across from MTG's, and I took the photo above of the obnoxious sign outside her door. My favorite part? "Trust the science." Um... don't you mean "Trust the Scientologists?" or something like that? Because science actually tells us that gender can be pretty complicated....

Apparently the concept of evolution and Darwin are lost on her. Perhaps the schools in her Georgia district need to fund science and civics.
And maybe a trip to Russia with a trace of pot in her suitcase will show her what Russia is really like.

I woulda been extremely tempted to punch that sign like Alex Karras punches that horse in "Blazing Saddles."
