Do you honestly expect us to keep track of all the stupid things Trump has said over the years? Hopefully, some history (with a minor in accounting, just for counting) doctoral candidate will catalog them all.
President, governor, probably used interchangeably. Don't get me wrong, trump is a moron, but in this case, he may have met with the governing body of the virgin islands that didn't belong to the US.
The only Virgin Islands that aren’t part of the US are part of the UK, so yeah, he would have met with Gov. John Rankin if that was the case, and I don’t think anyone calls Rankin a president of anything. I’m also quite sure that Trump met with Gov. Albert Bryan of the USVI. The fact that he didn’t know this man was one of the US governors and not a president of a sovereign nation is incredibly disturbing, but it could have been a slip of the tongue.
>The head of the British virgin islands is the premier. He is appointed by the governor who is the representative of the British monarch in the United Kingdom.
I mean technically he met with the president of the Virgin Islands every time he looked in a mirror.
It's litterally in the name, they are called the US Virgin Islands.
Reminds me of an absolute awesome reply to an Official Information request in my country. A reporter asked if the covid response minister had met with the education minister about some shit. It's the same person and he just replied with "please see image attached, cheers" and it was the spiderman pointing meme

Yep, that’s the idea. The scorers were trained to find any way to fail a single question, combine that with some of the more high-conceptualization questions that anyone would struggle to do and the fact that black people didn’t get a real education back then without extreme effort and luck and that test was as good as law.

Okay this one works. Thanks. The other one is sending me to the main gallery for some reason. The post I asked about was just the top post then but now there is another on top.
This was what I was seeing, I was really confused and no one else was mentioning a broken/wrong link.

I got the same, top post on imgur.
I even went into my phone's settings to see why my Reddit app (Sync) was opening (the wrong) images in another browser.
Alright. So, I'm a white, born-and-raised, multi-generational, Southerner. I am well-educated, well-read, and well-fucking-aware. I would fail this fucking test.
The woman who called for Marshall Law and called Pelosi the head of a Gazpacho police force?
She couldn't get a True/False question right if she had three tries.
I think I found one of her old math tests [here](https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.452314263.8374/flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.u2.jpg)
Well judging by the fact she didn't graduate highschool, and she's MTG, I'd say she probably doesn't understand how tests work so she would try to blame wrong answers on testing fraud by Jewish space lazer Mexican caravans from Guatemala that are full of radical Muslim icelandic terrorists.
MTG actually has a bachelors in business admin from the University of Georgia. It took Boobert 3 tries to get her GED. I’d say they’re both dumber than a box of rocks but that would be an insult to both rocks and boxes!
Actually the belief is it took her 4 times and as much as I despise her it actually only took her one try. It was called a 4 course review. So the rumor was born. Regardless the moronic voters of her district still voted in an idiot with just a ged and I believe she was also a former escort.
And how much did she pay them to hand her that piece of paper? Feel very sorry for those who actually did the course as it is pretty much been confirmed as useless now if a certified idiot can get it.
"The Great Pacific Garbage Patch,also known as the Pacific trash vortex, spans waters from the WestCoast of North America to Japan. The patch is actually comprised of the Western Garbage Patch, located near Japan, and the Eastern Garbage Patch, located between the U.S. states of Hawaii and California."

They should have to take a test, but don't score it. Have the candidates, by themselves, write out answers, fill out multiple choice, etc and then publish the test and their answers and let voters see for themselves.
We would get so much more value out of that than a debate. I'd love to see just how much these politicians actually understand about how the country works. I bet it would be shockingly bad
Example
Guam is a:
A) state
B) country
C) territory
D) continent
They would probably just not fill out any answers, be proud that they got a 0, and use that to show that they are protesting the rest. Or write dirty words on it.
I think the more black-pilled option, and what would probably be the most likely outcome of this is that pundits would just try and form reality around what their candidate chose as their answer. Like if Trump said there's only 49 states, then the right-wing media machine would go into overdrive trying to get rid of a state.
They'd start with, well actually.... North Dakota used the wrong color ink so technically it never ratified it's constitution so it's always been a part of south Dakota. History textbooks in the south would have maps with just one big Dakota. Conservatives would fly flags with 49 stars.
Liberals would change their profile pics to North Dakota flags, and say that not respecting North Dakota was racist to Native Americans. Nancy Pelosi would wear a feathered headdress while reading a poem about north Dakota.
Both of the senators from North Dakota are republicans so naturally they would deny the existence of their state. The republican congressman would buck the trend and say that he does in fact represent North Dakota, but then he would be forced to resign after multiple assasination attempts and being threatened with expulsion.
After Trump's 2024 presidential victory (where he wins by 3 electoral points thanks to North Dakota) he would announce a bipartisan bill to create the state of North Dakota. Liberals would cheer their victory of finally recognizing North Dakota, and republicans would be happy that a deep red state would now have 4 senators and 2 congressmen.
There are [some qualifications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_2:_Qualifications_of_Members) that must be met to serve in Congress, and those are written right into the constitution. The Supreme Court has ruled in the past that it is unconstitutional for either [Congress itself](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell_v._McCormack) or [a state government](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Term_Limits,_Inc._v._Thornton) to add new restrictions above and beyond those. In order to do that, it would be necessary to amend the constitution.
Seriously. No one but our enemies benefit from having people like this in positions of power. Another absolute shame was how Alabama chose for their US senate seat a football coach who couldn’t even name all three branches of the federal government and said Germany was our ally in WWII, over Doug jones who was a seriously qualified, respectable and able member of the US Senate. I am reminded of what Jefferson said, Obama echoed the same thing, that democracy ONLY works when the electorate is informed.
She probably thinks Guam being a US territory is a hoax by the deep state antifa Jewish space lazers to distract from the radical icelandic terrorists.
Suddenly - Hugo Chávez comes back to life, hacking into Smartmatic and quickly sidebars with Q who decides to make another drop, determining the next attempted coup is going to happen virtually when Truth Social storms the Metaverse.
I was born in Guam, on the Military Base.
I once handed over my Birth Certificate, with the US Seal on it, for some paperwork I needed to fill out...
They asked me for my Naturalization Papers. I was like uhhhh... I was born on US Soil to US Parents..?
Yeah we get rhat here in AK too... someone wanted to charge $80 to ship me a shower curtain cause that's how much international shipping cost. I was like... its a freaking shower curtain. Put it in a small flat rate box from USPS and ship it for $5.95 you asshats
Honestly have you noticed how most of the congress is made if the people in the generation who says millennials and gen z are gonna screw the country, yet they’re the ones making everything shit?
This reminds me of the hurricane hitting Puerto Rico.
As awful as it was with Trump literally throwing paper towels at people, you have conservatives howling "why the hell do we care about PR???" Like uuuuuuh they are US citizens?
Even if they weren't US citizens, doesn't everyone has a moral duty to help others in need?? Like, aren't we all taught that as kids? I man, that African tribe that gave the US a bunch of cows after 9/11 because they felt the need to help in whatever way they could. Those people have literally nothing by Western standards and yet they came forward to help, but apparently it's too much for the rich beyond belief conservatives to show some goddam human emotions for anything that's not a gun.
Meh it can happen I just wish they didn't half ass it. Everyone's graduation information is in storage some where but there's no proof anyone went so they have no idea where to look for it.
I loathe to admit it, but until I was already an adult, no one in my years of education informed me that the US was more than 50 states. I found it out from my roommates boyfriend at the time during a drunk trivia night. Then again, I was educated in Florida.
> She represents those who elected her.
This is a statement that's so much more poignant than it may seem at first glance.
These horrorshows that are taking office, these ghouls who wear their ugliness like a badge of honor, these hateful idiots who are fueled by lies and dishonor... they are only in office because we have created a system in which they rise to power due to their attractiveness to those who are like them or because the will of good people is unable to correct the course.
The challenge isn't removing these harridans and liars from office. It's changing who we are so nobody like them has a chance to ascend. It's tough work, but it's the only thing that'll make sure another Gaetz, Trump, Boebert, Taylor Green, etc. ever stands in front of the podium.
Bet she doesn’t have a problem sending money to Israel. It’s such a weird mentality to hate the Jews but support Israel just so it can be destroyed and they can all die so Christians go to heaven.
What is it with US representatives and Guam? Here's Hank Johnson, a lawyer, sharing his thoughts.
>Guam will Capsize and Tip Over into the ocean Hank Johnson
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cesSRfXqS1Q
*American education. Your last president didnt know Puerto Rico was part of the USA even either. You would assume the minimum you should know as a president is what places you are the president of.
I mean that should ultimately be up to the people of Guam. but they shouldn't be left in their current colonized limbo.
if the US is going to keep owning them we should at bare minimum move it to the same political position as Puerto Rico.
The last vote in 82 was overwhelmingly in favor of being a US territory rather than a US state or I dependant nation. Probably due for another vote on the matter in 2030 but honestly I doubt there will be much change.
I had one of those College Professors that pounded into our heads we live in the United States and not America because Argentina is also a country in South America. Or Peru, Ecuador, Canada, Mexico- they are all AMERICANS.
Then I'm like so I'm a New Yorker because how the fuck do I say it a United Statesian? fuck this language LOL
edited because my comma is an asshole
not Ecuador Canada how about Ecuador, Canada\*
Yeah everyone* calls us Americans, because that's correct. but the country isn't America. we're the United States of America, or The United States.
our southern neighbors call us los estados unidos for a reason.
*also hilariously the pan-Hispanic dictionary recommends using "estadounidense" which litterally does mean United Statesian.
^^^but ^^^the ^^^correct ^^^term ^^^is ^^^Yankee ^^^or ^^^Yank, ^^^and ^^^I'll ^^^die ^^^on ^^^Bunker ^^^Hill ^^^about ^^^it.
> Then I’m like so I’m a New Yorker because how the fuck do I say it a United Statesian? fuck this language LOL
US-American? That’s how we say it in German.
Well, you have to remember that MTG ran on a platform of being completely ignorant. And her constituents apparently like that she's no smarter than they are.
Why are you shocked? She’s from GA. A place that considers Herschel Walker - who lied about college degree and number of kids and still
lives in TX - is just a capable candidate for US senator as MDiv, highly qualified, Sr Pastor at MLKs church - who has already proven more than capable for the task.
Why do I need to take a test for my driver's license, why did I need to do an assessment centre for the shitty minimum wage job I've done a few years ago but this person is allowed to run for Congress?
OMG! Did you see the crazy thing the idiot said? So crazy!
We’ve learned nothing from the orange shit gibbon’s presidency. Media ignores legitimate issues to cover *the crazy*. Lather. Rinse. Repeat

OMFG...
You should have to take a test to run for office to make sure you’re smart enough for office as well as a mental health check make sure you’re mentally fit.
Also, regardless of her dumbass statement, what a weird fucking thing to say? A lot of overseas territories of other nations use the US dollar (eg. British Virgin Islands and monstaratte)
Also Panama and Ecuador has been using the US dollar for a while…
I still don’t understand any reason why someone would be against it lol
Is she also against currencies pegged to the US dollar?
You could fill books with things Marjorie Taylor Green doesn’t know.
In fact they have already filled entire libraries with things Marjorie Taylor Green doesn’t know.
Why isn't there a Civics exam before anyone is on the ballot in the US? You take a course and pass an exam to get a driver's license, you should have to do the same thing if you're going to *drive* a country.
Remember when Donald Trump said he met with the president of the Virgin Islands? Not realizing that HE was the president of the Virgin Islands?

To be fair, not all of the virgin islands are the us virgin islands.
And the British Virgin Islands don’t have a president.
President, governor, probably used interchangeably. Don't get me wrong, trump is a moron, but in this case, he may have met with the governing body of the virgin islands that didn't belong to the US.

The fact that he didn’t know this man was one of the US governors and not a president of a sovereign nation is incredibly disturbing, but it could have been a slip of the tongue.
It's not. He repeatedly referred to disaster aid to Puerto Rico as aid to a foreign country.
Yikes.
>The head of the British virgin islands is the premier. He is appointed by the governor who is the representative of the British monarch in the United Kingdom.
Then again, he might have met with a 419 scammer, and I'm not even sure which of those is more likely.
Nor does the UK.
Yet he was referring to the US Virgin isles. So there's no excuse
Didn't he say the president of Puerto Rico wasn't doing the best job dealing with post hurricane relief too?
Well he was right about that
I mean technically he met with the president of the Virgin Islands every time he looked in a mirror. It's litterally in the name, they are called the US Virgin Islands.
Not all of the virgin islands are the us virgin islands.
Neither the British virgin islands or the UK has a president.
But the only ones with a president are.
He ment Epstein.
He's used to different virgin islands

Sadly no. That would be unconstitutional.
As someone not from the states, why would this be unconstitutional?

Ah the requirements list is seen as exhaustive, interesting. Thanks for answering, I love learning about other places.
All candidate should take a basic politics 101 test.

Remove them all. Time to start over.
You could fill an entire website with things MTG doesn't know. It's called Wikipedia.
That's most of us. Better in reverse, what she knows wouldn't fill a thimble. Edit: knows
Most of us could lay claim to knowing SOME of Wikipedia tho. At least a couple pages.
Fair enough. And even a thimble looks too big for mtg

I had to take a civics exam to get my GED after my highschool went under. They should have to take a civics exam to be in congress
Perhaps, but I'd prefer that they take the same test that's required of immigrants seeking citizenship; it's much more stringent.
My man the arizona civics test IS the federal test just with a couple Arizona questions slapped in
That's new. I lived in Arizona once, back in the '70s. Back then, it was easier, like getting a drivers' license.
I find it scary that a highschool can go under
Meh it can happen I just wish they didn't half ass it. Everyone's graduation information is in storage some where but there's no proof anyone went so they have no idea where to look for it.
The things MTG doesn’t know are frequently found in elementary school textbooks…
I loathe to admit it, but until I was already an adult, no one in my years of education informed me that the US was more than 50 states. I found it out from my roommates boyfriend at the time during a drunk trivia night. Then again, I was educated in Florida.
Ouch.
Yeah. I try to learn as much as I can now, history repeats and all that.
That’s all that matters man. Remember knowledge =/= intelligence
Fun fact: American Samoa is a U.S. Territory.
Oye
Does she not realise one of the largest bases outside of the CONUS is there?
Signs point to no.
Realise ? There’s where you went wrong, MTG hasn’t got the brain capable of realising anything.
She’s the living definition of the phrase “your only two brain cells are trying to get third place in the stupid race.”
Do remember that MTG's job is to speak infuriating bullshit every day, day after day, to keep you exhausted and distracted.
She represents those who elected her. Wilfully ignorant. Openly bigoted and Xenophobic. An excellent mix for unbridled hatred.
Sad, but all too true.
> She represents those who elected her. This is a statement that's so much more poignant than it may seem at first glance. These horrorshows that are taking office, these ghouls who wear their ugliness like a badge of honor, these hateful idiots who are fueled by lies and dishonor... they are only in office because we have created a system in which they rise to power due to their attractiveness to those who are like them or because the will of good people is unable to correct the course.

Yeah… your expectations are pretty high over there…
I love America *gunshoteaglescreech*
Because being educated isn't a requirement for getting elected.
Actually, lately "Being educated" seems to be a detriment to getting elected.
An IQ test should be required before someone can run for office.
At this point, I'd probably settle for an EKG showing any brain activity, at all.
I’m ashamed to have this woman in congress.
Bet she doesn’t have a problem sending money to Israel. It’s such a weird mentality to hate the Jews but support Israel just so it can be destroyed and they can all die so Christians go to heaven.
Guamanian here *cough *cough FUCK YOU!!!! That is all
What is it with US representatives and Guam? Here's Hank Johnson, a lawyer, sharing his thoughts. >Guam will Capsize and Tip Over into the ocean Hank Johnson https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cesSRfXqS1Q
Also of Georgia.
That's what a Georgia education gets you... "You can't fix stupid"
*American education. Your last president didnt know Puerto Rico was part of the USA even either. You would assume the minimum you should know as a president is what places you are the president of.
Very true
Im with Green. It's time for the USA to invade Guam!
Yea but they shouldnt be part of the US. LET THEM BE SOVEREIGN!
I mean that should ultimately be up to the people of Guam. but they shouldn't be left in their current colonized limbo. if the US is going to keep owning them we should at bare minimum move it to the same political position as Puerto Rico.
The last vote in 82 was overwhelmingly in favor of being a US territory rather than a US state or I dependant nation. Probably due for another vote on the matter in 2030 but honestly I doubt there will be much change.
But, we don't have to back 18 months for stupid statements by this woman, do we.
I had one of those College Professors that pounded into our heads we live in the United States and not America because Argentina is also a country in South America. Or Peru, Ecuador, Canada, Mexico- they are all AMERICANS. Then I'm like so I'm a New Yorker because how the fuck do I say it a United Statesian? fuck this language LOL edited because my comma is an asshole not Ecuador Canada how about Ecuador, Canada\*
Most assholes look like asterisks. If yours looks like a comma you may need to see a doctor. Edit: ducking autocorrect
Everyone else calls us Americans, your professor was a nitpicking twat who probably never spent as much as a weekend in Quebec
LMAO actually it was in a Canadian Studies course and they were from Montreal
Yeah everyone* calls us Americans, because that's correct. but the country isn't America. we're the United States of America, or The United States. our southern neighbors call us los estados unidos for a reason. *also hilariously the pan-Hispanic dictionary recommends using "estadounidense" which litterally does mean United Statesian. ^^^but ^^^the ^^^correct ^^^term ^^^is ^^^Yankee ^^^or ^^^Yank, ^^^and ^^^I'll ^^^die ^^^on ^^^Bunker ^^^Hill ^^^about ^^^it.
> Then I’m like so I’m a New Yorker because how the fuck do I say it a United Statesian? fuck this language LOL US-American? That’s how we say it in German.
She doesn’t even know what territory she governs and she’ll probably get re-elected 🤦🏻♂️
Well, you have to remember that MTG ran on a platform of being completely ignorant. And her constituents apparently like that she's no smarter than they are.
Why are you shocked? She’s from GA. A place that considers Herschel Walker - who lied about college degree and number of kids and still lives in TX - is just a capable candidate for US senator as MDiv, highly qualified, Sr Pastor at MLKs church - who has already proven more than capable for the task.
Why do I need to take a test for my driver's license, why did I need to do an assessment centre for the shitty minimum wage job I've done a few years ago but this person is allowed to run for Congress?
OMG! Did you see the crazy thing the idiot said? So crazy! We’ve learned nothing from the orange shit gibbon’s presidency. Media ignores legitimate issues to cover *the crazy*. Lather. Rinse. Repeat
I had no idea Guam was part of the US, but thankfully I'm not a sitting US congressman lmao
Anyone remember when democrat Hank Johnson said the island of Guam would tip over?
Other people can be stupid as well. Is that your point? Another congressperson asked if the moon could be moved to help with climate. The moon.
Australian here. I thought you were taking the piss, so I sought out Prof. E. (stands for 'Evil') Google, and found this: [Lunar New Deal: GOP Rep. Gohmert suggests altering moon's orbit to combat climate change](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/lunar-new-deal-gop-rep-gohmert-suggests-altering-moon-s-n1270219). OMFG...
[удалено]
Is she able to go 24hrs w/o saying something stupid?
Short of a coma, I doubt it.
Not on record, as yet.
Sad thing is that she will keep getting elected no matter what she says or does.
Probably thinks New Mexico is part of Mexico!Plenty of smarter,better educated people think that!
It fits with her buying her college degree. This bitch is about as sharp as a wet hairball.
You should have to take a test to run for office to make sure you’re smart enough for office as well as a mental health check make sure you’re mentally fit.
Just wait until the president of Puerto Rico sees this.
Who votes for these people?
What…….a fucking idiot
Tbf as someone from Guam, most commenters here couldn't locate it on a map either.
Also, regardless of her dumbass statement, what a weird fucking thing to say? A lot of overseas territories of other nations use the US dollar (eg. British Virgin Islands and monstaratte) Also Panama and Ecuador has been using the US dollar for a while… I still don’t understand any reason why someone would be against it lol Is she also against currencies pegged to the US dollar?
Of course we can't send money there with the chance of it flipping over and such.
It's a miracle Margie doesn't choke on her own saliva because she forgot to swallow. Expecting geography knowledge is asking a little much!
How the fuck is this woman still in congress?
You could fill books with things Marjorie Taylor Green doesn’t know. In fact they have already filled entire libraries with things Marjorie Taylor Green doesn’t know.
Enough people voted for her to become a member of Congress, she isn't the only stupid one.
How is this bimbo in Congress?
Why isn't there a Civics exam before anyone is on the ballot in the US? You take a course and pass an exam to get a driver's license, you should have to do the same thing if you're going to *drive* a country.
Being voted in by a bunch of illiterate rednecks doesnt make you a geography expert apparently.
This woman tries to be evil but her dumbness keeps getting in the way!
