Everyone knows that there is never a shortage of morons around, however one defines morons. So right now there are two easily defined moronic women from Georgia who seem to be quite happy in revealing their lack of common sense let alone intelligence or understanding. Marjorie Taylor Greene (although I believe she is soon to be just Marjorie Taylor since her husband filed for divorce) is always ready to show what a bad education she endured in addition to causing incredulity at the lack of any comprehension of the Constitution in all remarks she broadcasts, whether those are garbled ideas from some online forum or responses to questions. Emily Kohrs, who served as the foreperson of the special grand jury questioning the "stop the steal" endeavors of Trump and company, is from the other side of the political spectrum as far as anyone can tell, but she doesn't stand above MTG in her inanity and inappropriate remarks.
After the shenanigans they each got up to this week with MTG not only advocating what would amount to a civil disruption of US structure and governance (her divorce to separate red from blue states not her divorce from her own husband) but also demanding that states be prohibited from allowing newly arrived transplants to vote in any and all elections. "Idiotic" doesn't begin to describe how poorly these ideas were presented let alone how unconstitutional they both are, but MTG was not alone in proving that Georgia schools are clearly falling down on the job because Emily Kohrs has been on her own "I can say anything dumber than you can" tour of various newsrooms to add what can only be headaches to Fani Willis' job in investigating and possibly charging those who tried to overturn a duly certified election.
Can we please bring back civics education? Of course if the same morons who taught these women are in the classroom nothing will change and if some of the people who have been filmed disrupting school board meetings in Georgia are given the chance to write the curriculum, things can only get worse.
Thanks for your fair and balanced comments today, I agree with you! Hope your quilting is going well. Anne
ReplyDeleteI always try to be fair and balanced.
ReplyDeleteI must confess that frustration during the past 7 years has had me contemplating how much nicer life might be if we could shove the crazies out of our lives and with MTG latest comments I've been reminded of the old saying "don't let the door hit you on the way out."
ReplyDeleteI don't know how we change the hearts and minds of 30% of the population but we are stuck with them...and they with us.
As to Miss Emily, I'm inclined to cut her more slack as an unsophisticated woman who doesn't realize how much trouble and hurt social media, not to mention the professional media, will likely cause her.
Poor Miss Emily is over thirty years old with a job as a legal transcription expert. Nothing she did is illegal but practically everything she did subsequent to the special grand jury disbanding is discouraged for obvious reasons and ill-advised for someone who did know better. From my point of view that is equal if not worse than MTG who clearly does not know better about pretty much everything.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing and crying at the same time!
