Welcome to the United States of Stupid.
Rep. Harriet Hageman, who was elected to Congress by the people in Wyoming just because she isn’t Liz Cheney, needs to crack open a geography book.
During a House rules committee meeting Tuesday, Hageman, last seen in these pages being yelled at by constituents, spoke in favor of President Donald J. Felon’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

Her justification for making the change was, “For over 40 years, the country of Mexico has been dumping raw sewage into the area near San Diego, California,” according to Mass Live.
George Santos Hageman further said that it was an “environmental catastrophe” that Mexico refuses to address.
The problem for the congresswoman is that neither San Diego nor the state of California is on the Gulf of Mexico.
Her testimony — laughable as it is — will likely not effect the passage of The Gulf of America Act which aims to codify the grifter-in-chief’s executive order.
Looks like Sen. Tommy Tuberville has some stiff competition for stupidest elected official on Capitol Hill. Remember: He said the government’s three branches were “the House, the Senate, and the executive.”

Maggie Haberman of the New York Times doesn’t think the adjudicated rapist in the Oval Office knows what he wants from all the trade negotiations.
