I dunno... in a way, that's representation in its purest form - angry, stupid Republicans have one of their own in office.

People no say Marge smart. MARGE SMASH

Bet you she claims that the history books have been changed by the Demoncrats

Now there's rage? The "jewish space lasers" wasn't a problem??? Need to deport her ass to Russia where she belongs.

I thought she just got caught with a live question. But no, she hand crafted this claim with all the time in the world and still utterly biffed it. What a joke.

The killer bit is apparently she looked up their ages in 1776 and just didn't bother confirming who signed.

From here:

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/signers-factsheet

Yeah, average age was 44.51.
56 people signed it.
Oldest was Ben Franklin at 70.
Youngest were Thomas Lynch Jr. and Edward Ruteledge, both 26.
28 people were under the age of 45.

You guys have to look at it in context. She IS representing her district. She's actually above average around those parts. It's sad and off putting when viewed through your eyes but in her district she is a towering intellect, the likes of which will rarely be repeated in the future. We should all celebrate her efforts to participate in representative government.

Well, you can’t know everything about everything, that’s why you have to collaborate with other experts so you can supplement each others knowledge.

But every job has some reasonable expectations of knowledge and standards because that’s what doing it competently requires.

Why is basic history and civics important for a congressperson? You’re essentially helping right laws and regulations which will impact generations to come, and if you’re uninformed you may be open to being manipulated or mislead. The double danger for anyone in congress is that foreign interests can also mislead or manipulate for malicious reasons, and not just greed reasons.

So expecting basic level of information from a congressperson isn’t elitism, I’d say it’s a matter of homeland and national security.

Yeah, she does strike me as a "Herby Hancock" kind of person.

smart, mentally stable people never get in to politics and instead find enjoyable work they can be proud of.

Every presidential election in my lifetime has had a candidate that has been attacked as "the dumb one" and another that has been attacked as "the smart evil one" (note: the might not be this, but they were attacked as if they were this)

The "dumb one" has won every time.

That would rule out voting for most Republicans, though. I think the Republican brand is all about not appearing smarter than anyone else - or, better yet, actually being quite stupid and not just having to play stupid - because being smart and knowing things is considered "elitist" by the con base.

They have subverted the definition of elitism to carve out exceptions for the actual elitists, to the point where donnie is considered (by them) to be for the little man, while simultaneously supposedly being a business magnate with billions to his name. Nothing elitist about having billions, and being given half a billion by your father, I guess.

It’s going to be an awkward conversation but she is officially off the trivia team. If she thinks I’m switching trains to get to Capital Hill just to lose, she’s got another fact to learn.

That should instantly disqualify her from holding office. You should have a basic understanding of American history in order to govern properly, and it's obvious she doesn't know shit about the history of this country despite arrogantly acting like she does.

It's at a point where I feel sorry for her but the real losers are those that vote for this moron

I thought she would be finished when she was going on about Jewish space lasers. But that is my fault for thinking they would get rid of their jester.

Man, B^6^ is such a goddamn embarrassment
