Sorry for all of you Georgia folks who live in Rep. Doug Collins district.

It sounds like he's another one of those House Freedom Caucus guys because I barely survived after watching NPR's Judy Woodruff interview him tonight. The questions were generic softballs about the wall, but it wouldn't have made much difference because he wouldn't stay on point with a direct answer anyway.

While asking each of her questions, his smarmy face revealed a hamster wheel a-turning figuring how he could best deliver his Gish Gallop with some kind of redirected, incoherent answer. I may try digging up a transcript to see just how squirrelly his replies really were.

The Newshour this evening, with Judy Woodruff interviewing this
smug Repub asshole. I don’t remember ever seeing him before,
but he was described as being in “leadership”. I yelled at the TV
several times listening to this dissembling asshat. He could give
Kelly Anne real competition for WH spokes-weasel.

She could hardly get a word in, til he came up for air. He wasn't making much sense through the blabbering.

jerk had his idiot recitation teed up and never did answer any of her questions.

what he's really like. I however keep emailing him to tell him why he's wrong and how I want himm to vote.

The most recent email I sent was on Monday night. I heard about Orange man getting network time for a speech, so I told Doug C. that I wasn't going to watch the TV speech because I'm tired hearing nothing but lies and the areas where a wall makes sense already HAS A WALL, and the areas where there is no barrier cannot support one. I don't want ANY money appropriated for Trump's wall, and thaat's how I want him to vote!

I send him emails every time I hear he's got a decision to make. I know he doesn't comply with my requests, but I register my disapproval and this is a very big district so I know I'm not the only complaining constituent, and a time goes on, I'm sure there will be more of us.

We're clear across the country from you with our own set of misfits. Hammering on those folks relentlessly is the only way to make a dent, as futile as it sometimes seems.

Top repub of the House Judiciary Committee went to his head, I think.
