Maybe he thinks the skyscrapers provide Manhatten ballast.

[SE Mom]

Turns out (after busting a gut laughing over this) the congressman is seriously ill with hepatitis - lost 30 pounds recently and is not well. So....now it’s not quite as funny.

[BCW]

“...the congressman is concerned the influx of military personnel will overwhelm the island’s infrastructure and ecosystem.”

I don’t think so - his hand gestures indicate that he was indeed indicating that the island would in fact tip over - I love how these aids run to the door to explain in a poor way what their bass was in fact saying...

[politicalmerc]

Let’s hope this guy has an OPPONENT for November.

In his district it won't do any good.

[Rate_Determining_Step]

i.....am.....in.....tears!!!

How did he graduate from Law School? How did he pass the bar? How did he serve as a judge for 10 years? I know we talk about affirmative action, but I’ve never really thought it could take someone who was completely clueless and make them pass the Bar.

[penelopesire]

Yep, I heard that and yes, it’s sad. We are all sorry for his health troubles, but he needs to go if he can’t think straight anymore. The very idea that Pelosi would let him keep a committee appointment, while his mind is failing, just shows us that that woman doesn’t give one whit what happens to this country(as if we even needed more proof).

"Turns out (after busting a gut laughing over this) the congressman is seriously ill with hepatitis - lost 30 pounds recently and is not well. So....now it’s not quite as funny."

Being sick and losing 30 pounds does not explain stupidity. What's not quite so funny is if he is now mentally deranged from his illness is that Nazi Pelosi keeps him on a very important committee. If he can't handle the job, he needs to step down.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I think all of this talk about him being sick with hepatitus is just to excuse his idiocy. He clearly believes that islands can tip over. You can see it in his hand gestures. He wasn't trying to be funny or anything. They were in a serious discussion about Marines relocating from Okinawa to Guam.

It is hard to believe that someone this stupid could be in the United States Congress. Its one thing to battle your ardent enemies. No one is going to say that Nazi Pelosi is stupid, she's just a shrewed power hungry statist. But, how do you battle stupid?

I wanted to ping you to this video earlier but there were so many threads going I figured you'd probably have seen it already. It is a jaw-dropping watch.

So glad you saw it. Great graphic. lol.

[dead]

It’s my new favorite video! It’s a “flag on Mars” moment.

[AnnaZ]

It's a WTF moment like I haven't experienced in a good long while. (Well, actually, not long enough with this gang in power.)

[ShorelineMike]

Not something that people mentally incapicatated or village idiots should be working on.

Or Members of Congress. But we repeat ourselves.</sarcasm>

Looking back, I never realized how good we had it during the Clinton Administration.

As long as you weren't a former business partner or a Serbian, Clinton wasn't likely to kill you.

He was prevented from screwing up the economy and he didn't really care all that passionately about anything to fight for it. All he wanted to do was get laid, hide from his wife, and pocket mountains of money.

Compared to this country-destroying gang of leftist psychos, life was pretty sweet back then.

[Mr. Mojo]

I thought there was no way he could’ve been serious. .....UNTIL I watched the vid you posted. Frightening.

[SandRat]

You are so dumb Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA).

[Popman]

I find it very hard to believe any rational person can believe Guam can tip over.

Obviously, he has become mentally impaired for some reason.

The voters in his district should ask the House leadership to ask him to resign or recall him for incompetence.

I'm sure even democrats think they deserve better than a mentally deficient representative

[Caipirabob]

I mean eye, not mouth. He did a tell, rubbing under his eye.

I would have had to stick my finger in my eye to keep from laughing at the old fool.

[Madame Dufarge]

From some of the comments here, it does seem as if he's suffering from a debilitating medical condition.

I suppose the Democrats see this as a plus since he's probably easily manipulated by them, though I doubt he'd ever stray from the herd anyway.

Looks like another Woodrow Wilson moment for them, sans Colonel House and Edith.
