> [@Moriarty](#): > > Rather, members of Congress are by tradition deemed inherently trustworthy by dint of the offices they hold Yeah. Unfortunately, that’s not working out. But considering the previous POTUS (a traitorous insurrectionist) and current SCOTUS (more money please, constitution be dammed), it seems we are screwed. The Founding Fathers never, ever, thought that 1/3 of the country would turn into morons that would follow any illusive carrot that was hung before them. ---

Well, honestly, they might have. They had a pretty dim view of “the masses.” They just neve thought we’d allow them to vote. ---

Yes, for centuries democratic ideology has held that the Framers underestimated the ability of the common people to rationally participate in in politics. Lately it’s seemed like maybe they were right and their only error was in assuming that rich white men could do any better. ☹ ---

After watching a couple of clips from MTG at today’s hearings, I’m going to take the bold step of modifying a considered opinion. I heard (NYT columnist, author) David Brooks once say that, while he had never interviewed MTG, personally, he knew lots of people who had, and that she “knows what she’s doing.” I’m inclined to agree. I become more and more convinced that she is far more evil than stupid (though, perhaps, still shockingly the latter as well). It’s just the apotheosis of cynicism. Everything that came out of her maw in the two clips that I watched (the one that @Moriarty posted and one I’ll link to below) was a fusillade of logical fallacies, factual inaccuracies, and just generalized RWNJ blather. But – as always – 110% lost on _her_ audience. It’s vile marketing genius, the kind I always believed TFG has in spades. Sickening, but – even more so – shameful that it’s effective. And we shouldn’t ever deceive ourselves. It is. [**OTHER YOUTUBE LINK – 8:21 (and painfully slow)**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_x72Sjrflo) ---

Thus GOP leadership will probably _ **not** _ greatly displease GOP voters by occasionally ‘putting her in her place.’ It kind of goes with the brand. ---

MTG just discovered that porn is a thing on the internet, and it’s all Hunter Biden’s fault: > **[Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Learned About ’Pornography Sex Websites’](https://uproxx.com/viral/marjorie-taylor-greene-adult-websites-ban/)** > > Marjorie Taylor Greene’s rant was inspired by Hunter Biden, because of course it was. > “Here’s what I found out this week,” she said at the Putnam County Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner over the weekend, [via Raw Story](https://www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-ban-websites/). “There is a website, you may or may not have heard about it, called Pornhub.
