That moron again? Someone fire her please!

She's a House Representative. As long as the public in her district in, I believe, Georgia, keeps wanting her to be the one to speak for them, she's gonna stay.

checks

Georgia's 14th district.

Stupid bitch would be advocating for ebola parties if there was a vaccine for it.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure they did recently develop a vaccine for Ebola that they are trying to distribute in the affected areas of Africa, but I'm afraid that US governmental funding, the WHO, and American-based NGOs were involved, so who knows if the money exists for the manufacturing and distribution anymore.

Quick, somebody make ~~a placebo~~ an "ebola vaccine" and convince Republican politicians that they're not true Trump supporters unless they have an Ebola Party at the RNC.

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I propose a herpes and SARS party for her.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

When did we start rewarding politicians for being angry and stupid?

[–] dan@lemmy.i.secretponi.es 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Since 1994. When Newt Gingrich first slithered onto the scene to start spreading lies and dumb bullshit. Prior to that it was just lies.
