The House will eventually work its way through the “leadership” and the members until they get to, like, the deputy assistant vice custodian pro tem, who is actually an unpaid intern from a local community college.
“Say, kid, wanna be Squeaker?”
“Naw, I’d rather swab terlets. Less shit involved.”
It’s kind of a shame that Emmer wasn’t noble enough for the Shambler of the House. He’s the only one that I had a beer or two or a few more with long ago in some alleged scholastic environment. Although his politics may be a bit different than mine, at least one time in the past he had the hockey balls to deny mangoman his support.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the RNC watching this pre-pubescent schoolyard buffoonery, dereliction of duty, and abject abrogation of legislative responsibility play out in the public eye …. for so long ….. with no end apparently in sight. It’s a good thing there are no major national and/or global issues that need their attention (HINT: immigration, Ukraine, Gaza, etc.)…. at least until the next Congressionally self-generated/self-inflicted “government shutdown” deadline begins to yet again attract attention.
Oops …. wait a minute ….. these debacles are probably bringing more $$$$ into the RNC coffers, eh? 🙂
And yes, the latest Gallup poll on “Trust in Institutions” has Congress at the bottom yet again with a whopping 8% (up from 7% at this time last year ….. so an “annual 14% improvement”). 🙂
Should have added “Are there Las Vegas odds or an over/under line out there somewhere for wagering?”
Since politics is a “contact sport”, if there isn’t, there should be, eh? Just like for the NCAA “amateur” sports …. where your Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) could now be worth $$$$$$$.
Next up for Meadows might be a plea deal down in Georgia. Once you’ve sung one chorus for an audience, the second chorus for another audience is so much easier.
Just think: There was a time when we thought Nixon was as bad as it could ever get.
I want to hear some cell doors slamming, and soon. Not just on the little dummies in their Tonka tanks and Fallujah cosplay costumes from the Army-Navy store, but on the big boys in the custom suits and flag lapel pins. It will be music to my ears.
Meanwhile, anyone else notice that the dwindling list of Squeaker candidates presently draws solely from the old Confederacy?
Well, he is a conservative Christian, so he follows the commandment, “thy shalt not bear false witness, provided your career is already over and you have been promised no consequences.”
Republicans were growing increasingly frustrated with the spectacle of their own chaos. Late Tuesday afternoon, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky suggested that the only way to bridge the party’s divisions was to get everyone drunk.
“I think they’re going to have to bring alcohol in there to solve this,” he said. “There’s some angry drunks that can fight it out. There’s some friendly drunks like me. But I don’t see this happening without alcohol.”
Man, I think it will take something stronger than beer to straighten this lot out.
Hemlock, maybe?
Meanwhile, Carl Hulse at the NYT is having a high old time providing analysis, basically a reminder that Repuglicans argue the government does not work, and once elected, set about proving it.
The copy desk is missing a lot of silly stuff lately. Here’s the lede from a sidebar to the Acapulco hurricane story:
Hurricane Otis interrupted tropical vacations for some visitors and put a stop to a mining convention in Acapulco, Mexico, as the storm beared down on the city early Wednesday. (Emphasis mine.)
Maybe they sacked all the editors who worked on the initial writeup on the Gaza hospital blast.
The hurricane sider is a lame piece of shit that reminds me of the fabled National Lampoon newspaper parody, The Dacron Republican-Democrat, which bore the headline “Two Dacron Women Feared Missing in Volcanic Disaster,” with the subhed, “Japan Destroyed.”

The puppet master was not pleased with tommy.

And now Mark Meadows is said to be singing a merry little tune (after first acquiring immunity from prosecution).
Hey, he may be a lying scumbag, but he’s not entirely dim.
Next up for Meadows might be a plea deal down in Georgia. Once you’ve sung one chorus for an audience, the second chorus for another audience is so much easier.

And finally, the Quote of the Day, from the NYT:
Get six repugs to drink enough barley pops to elect Hakeem speaker. Ya think?
Man, I think it will take something stronger than beer to straighten this lot out.
Hemlock, maybe?

I don’t think he will make it, because this chaos is intentional on the part of the maga bunch. Just following instructions, heh?
Win or lose, I gotta go with Ol’ Will here:
Well, he won with the blessing of the puppet master. So, we are in a tight spot!
NYT piece on Fanni Willis:
“It remains to be seen whether her will win any convictions at trial.”
Her will win?
Is that bad copy or AI?
Cuz I can’t open the Times without seeing weird mistakes like that.
