People Bring the Awkward Receipts After QAnon Congresswoman Brags She Was Elected With 74% of the Vote

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has become infamous across the nation despite only serving for three months so far.

Greene was stripped of her committee assignments by the House for her deranged belief in the QAnon conspiracy theory and expressing support for delusions that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton murders children and drinks their blood, that devastating wildfires in California were due to Rothschild-owned space lasers, and that school shootings were false flags coordinated by Democrats.


Since being removed from committees, the Congresswoman has looked to make a splash any way she can, most recently by beginning every House session motioning to adjourn, forcing a roll call vote that delays the passage of legislation.

With even some of her Republican colleagues express annoyance at her antics, Greene has scrambled to defend them.

She most recently attempted to do so by pointing out that she overwhelmingly won her election in Georgia's deep red 14th District.

The Congresswoman boasted that she was "elected with 74.7% of the vote."

What Greene didn't mention was that her Democratic opponent—Kevin Van Ausdal—abruptly withdrew from the race two months before the election due to personal issues and threats from Greene's supporters.

Therefore, Greene ran unopposed and still didn't meet the percentage of the Republican elected to the seat before her, former Congressman Tom Graves, who won with around 76.5% of the vote.

"Unopposed" began to trend after Twitter users reminded Greene that she'd run with no opposition.






Greene's stunts have earned her nationwide ire, and many want her expelled from Congress.



Her expulsion is unlikely to happen, but there's growing speculation that a primary opponent could defeat her in GA-14 if voters there are ashamed enough of the coverage she's gotten.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
