I’ve been seeing some rumors that Don and Kimberly split up. I don’t know if it’s confirmed, but I can’t wait to know who dumped who. I wouldn’t have either of them, so it’s a real head scratcher. ---

There is a dividing line where Reactionary Wacko Traitor (RWT) shades into simple lunatic. She apparently found that line and charged right across it with all mouths spewing. This doesn’t make the HFC any less reactionary wacko traitor. It just means they think lunacy too large for even their supporters to ignore will hurt their own chances to enact RWT legislation and get more RWT legislators elected. ---

I don’t think she is too extreme for them – she’s too supportive of Qevin, and she had a public spat with another member. Of the two, the Qevin support is probably the bigger deal. ---

From the article: > When asked about the vote, Greene did not directly address her status with the HFC but said in a statement to ABC News that she serves her constituents – “no group in Washington.” I wonder how the constituents who have actually contacted her office feel about this - is her office responsive or she too busy showboating to care how things are going there? > Greene, who was first elected to the House in 2020 and has since been at the center of multiple controversies for her history of provocative behavior, also claimed that her “America First credentials” were “forged in steel, seared into my character, and will never change” and she said her focus is on making sure former President Trump wins in 2024 and “nothing else.” This would seem to contradict what she said in the paragraph just above. If she’s spending all her time on assuring Agent Orange’s ascendence, that doesn’t leave much time for those constituent concerns. ---

“_I concluded that the GA B.A.R. was heavily infiltrated and led by Freemasons and other secret society members_”. Freemasons?! That’s _so_ 1933 Germany. Get with it, man!

Actually no, I haven’t forgotten that. I’m thinking more about the people who contact her office for help with mundane issues regarding stuff like federal benefits (casework). Do they feel like they’ve been served effectively? Of course, if any of them are hoping Margie’s quest on behalf of the Orange One will help them with their January 6 court cases, I suspect they’ll be waiting a long time. ---

Of the two, the Qevin support is probably the bigger deal. I think it’s this exactly. She’s an apostate because she’s not extreme enough, not where it counts. Unless you’re a full-fledged bomb-throwing, hostage-taking fanatic, you’re a RINO. Get in a cat fight with a member of the tribe? Whatever. Give full-throated support to raising the debt ceiling?
