Ah, the Democratic Party—a gift that keeps on giving. And by “giving,” I mean delivering some of the most mind-numbingly dumb moments in political history. Today’s episode of “How Are These People in Power?” takes us back to 2010, when Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) graced us with one of the most legendary moments of congressional brilliance.
Yes, folks, this is the guy who actually asked if Guam would “tip over and capsize” due to an influx of U.S. troops. No, this is not satire. No, this is not a skit from Saturday Night Live. This is a real-life, elected official who thought an island—a landmass—could flip over like a cheap patio table in a windstorm. And here’s the kicker: He is STILL in Congress.
Hank Johnson: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Let’s set the scene. Admiral Robert Willard, then-commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, was testifying before the House Armed Services Committee about plans to relocate U.S. Marines to Guam. Now, most people would be concerned about logistics, local infrastructure, or maybe how the locals felt about it. But not Hank. No, sir. Hank was worried about the laws of physics being rewritten before his very eyes.
Johnson, in all seriousness, said:
“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”
And what did the good admiral do? Well, being a professional, he somehow managed to keep a straight face and respond with a diplomatic, “We don’t anticipate that.” You can practically hear his inner voice screaming: Oh dear Lord, give me strength.
Hank Johnson: Maxine Waters 2.0
If there’s a Mount Rushmore of Democrat nonsense, Hank Johnson has his spot chiseled in stone right next to Maxine Waters. You know, the same Maxine who once told people to “push back” on Trump administration officials in public spaces. The same Maxine who claimed that Russia invaded Korea (wrong Korea, Maxine). These two must be in a secret competition for who can make the most embarrassing public statement. It’s like watching two toddlers argue over quantum mechanics.
And yet, here we are, in 2025, and Johnson is still in Congress, making decisions that affect your taxes, your military, and your livelihood.
The Democratic Hall of Fame of Stupidity
But let’s be honest—Hank isn’t the only one on the roster of Democratic intellectual heavyweights. Let’s do a quick roll call:
- Joe Biden: Who once asked a man in a wheelchair to “stand up.”
- Kamala Harris: Who gives speeches so incoherent they make Miss Teen South Carolina sound like a Nobel laureate.
- Nancy Pelosi: Who thought “we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it” was a solid legislative strategy.
- AOC: Who genuinely believes the world is ending in a few years because of cow farts.
Final Thoughts
It would be funny if it weren’t so terrifying. The fact that these people are making policies that affect your paycheck, your security, and your basic freedoms should be a national emergency. And yet, their constituents keep voting them in—probably because their main campaign strategy is “free stuff for everyone!”
So, here’s a reminder: elections have consequences. Keep voting for clowns, and you’ll keep getting a circus.
Thank Goodness Trump is Back!
