This is revolting. A truly sad day for America. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has appointed Marjory Taylor Greene (MTG) as the new Speaker Pro Tempore. In this position, MTG will stand in for Speaker McCarthy when he is absent.
We have to conclude that this is the best our democratic republic can muster at this time. Of all of the capable people in the land, MTG is elevated into the spot. This venomous imbecile. I’m out of words.

Does that put her second in line for the Presidency?
Just wondering.
The disgust is so great that I may have to wash the taste out with some beer.
Think of her as Speaker McCarthy’s life insurance policy. If, God forbid, something were to happen to him, she would be next in line, after the VP, to become President.
Scary thought. Why do you think George Herbert Walker Bush chose Daniel Quayle to be HIS Vice President? A guarantee that no sensible person would take him out and leave the country to someone who couldn’t even spell potato.
Quale, Groan. I’d forgotten about him.
