Anyway... what are the actual policies she stands for, besides Trump worship?

Owning the libs.

Apparently crazy lady was playing hide the weenie with several men including a porn star, "family values". 

That was reported by the Daily Mail.  Unless it's confirmed by a reputable source I'm not giving it much credence.

WTF is a Polyamorous Tantric Sex Guru?

I dunno, but if you change Guru to Dude, it would be PTSD.

MTG is a deranged, mean, cruel individual.

To her base, these are features, not bugs.

So, let's see...in the past week she's called a fellow member of Congress Representative Mussolini, and stated that Guam isn't part of the United States.

Democrats called Trump Mussolini many times...

And Guam is not part of the United States. The problem with what she said was listing Guam with a bunch of foreign not-so-friendly countries.

What?

It's an unincorporated territory, and thus is not formally a part of the United States, even if it is subject to American jurisdiction.

People born in Guam are U.S. citizens.

Any chance it passes? I doubt it.

A 2/3 vote is required, so no.  Although if it was a secret ballot it would have a decent chance.

While technically, she's right, she (nor anyone else) should be able to hide behind HIPPA to be able to infect people on purpose, which is what she's trying to do.

Nope.  You and MTG are both misunderstanding what HIPAA (not HIPPA) constrains.  It prevents health care providers and ancillary entities such as bill processors or IT companies from releasing your health information without consent.  It in no way precludes a person from revealing their own information, or the media or another person from asking about it.  Of course the person may refuse to answer, but if so they need to own up to the fact that they don't want to reveal it, not try to incorrectly hide behind HIPAA.

Why in the world do you think MTG  does not actually understand that?

I think it's more likely than not that she does understand it, although I'm not 100% certain; she seems quite obtuse at times.  But I'll stand by the sentence as written; it's just that MTF may be willfully misunderstanding it, or pretending to misunderstand it.  (This is not meant to suggest that NYE was doing the same thing; I'm certain his was an honest misunderstanding of the law, which is quite common.)

Greene's joint fundraising tour with Matt Gaetz is a flop:

At the height of the controversy surrounding Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and the revelations that he’s under investigation for sex trafficking, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) bet big on a nationwide joint fundraising tour with her embattled colleague. But new campaign filings show that not only did the gamble not pay off, but that the much-maligned Republicans actually spent four times as much as they raised.
...
Since Gaetz and Greene kicked off their joint fundraising committee with a May 7 event at The Villages in central Florida, their campaigns and joint fundraising committee have posted a combined loss of $342,000. And according to recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, that joint fundraising effort, “Put America First,” reported only $59,345.54 in contributions.

That sort of meager haul would be fine for a dinner or one-time event, but Gaetz and Greene have repeatedly held high-profile events and spent a whopping $287,036.19 to hold them—meaning they’re in the hole by more than $225,000.

I am fully convinced that she genuinely has mental problems and needs psychiatric help. Sane people do not act like this.

Untreated schizophrenia masquerading as staunch conservatism. That's the Trump era GOP in a nutshell.

There are undoubtedly some distinctions among the crazy cohort.  This is how I currently size them up:

Excessively stupid - Gohmert
True MAGA fanatic - Boebert
Cynical, pretend MAGA believer - Cawthorn, Gaetz
Genuinely insane - Greene, Gosar

Here's a slightly different angle:

It's reportedly Rep. Troy Nehls.
