Been chatting with KB about Marjorie Taylor Greene being appointed to the Homeland Security Committee in the House of Representatives, and ... I'm gonna need to make some popcorn ... this is gonna be good ... Ms. QAnon is now going to be witness to the sausage-making that is National Security... at least through the perspective of the utterly ineffective clown car that is the Dept of Homeland Security! Her worldview is so simplistic and so shallow, she has no idea how data is gathered, how risks are evaluated, or how decisions finally get made and then turned into policy. Here's the fun part: IT'S BORING. And SLOW. She's gonna have a conniption (again) and it's going to be lovely to watch. And/Or, she's going to absolutely dig it. I mean, she's gone DEEP down the QAnon rabbithole, done oodles of research and totally believes that shit. Sorting through hours and hours of difficult to understand coded messaging to come up with "an answer" that she's totally confident of. Which honestly could serve her very well when digging into issues of national security. Fortunately, she's just one idiot on a temporary (2-year) committee assignment with 30 other people in the room, so I could see her just disappearing down this rabbit hole and completely eliminating herself from any meaningful work at all. Plus, anything the Committee comes up with has to be voted on in the House, then voted on in the Senate, then signed by Biden. So ... yeah, she's gonna be sidelined. And then we all win! :-)
I think you are grossly overestimating Marjorie Taylor Green's ability to pay attention. You're talking about a person whose days were fully occupied with pilates for the better part of fifteen years. Thee or me? We'd sit there gobsmacked from dawn to dusk over all the stuff behind the green door but then, we're curious. You don't become Marjorie Taylor Greene without being far more committed to your beliefs about the world than you are to your observations. There's a Venn diagram of "clown show" / "witch hunt" / "sop throwing" / "actual governance" that the Republican House of Representatives will fill in for the next two years. Before Matt Goetz it was lookin' pretty witch hunty. Now? Now my money's on clown show.
