Ah, for a second there, I thought that the mo-rons in the Free-dumb Caucus think that if they succeed in impeaching Biden (such a thing won’t survive the House, let alone a conviction in the Senate, but play along with me here) that their Fat Orange God would be immediately restored to the Presidency.

They understand that’s not how this works, right? They will have bought themselves President Kamala Harris if they succeed. Do they actually believe they will be able to impeach and remove the President AND the Vice President? Plus, once Harris becomes President, she gets to appoint her own VP.

And so on and so on and so on.

There dimwits are not exactly long-range thinkers. Look! Squirrel!

Has there been an expedition launched yet to find Kevin McCarthy's spine?

Can we please not mention Marjorie Taylor Greene's "box"? I have nightmares as it is.

Is Ken Buck still stunned that Robert Mueller had to tell him twice in the same Congressional hearing that a former President CAN be Indicted when he leaves Office? It's still out there on the Utubes.

But hey, "no collusion" (allegedly).

Nope. No collusion. Now, conspiracy, on the other hand...

"Rightwing House members have made clear to McCarthy that they must shut down the government if they can’t repeal all legislation Joe Biden has ever had on his desk, or at least eliminate all funding for the DOJ’s prosecution of Donald Trump."

Yeah, too bad they can't do jack shit about the state trials on the horizon.

Jacketless Gym Jordan has already sent sniffy letters to Fani Willis. Hilarity will ensue.

“It’s not as if the investigators won’t be considered necessary or essential personnel,” said Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., - they are neither, now, in the future or in whatever alternate reality these paste eaters live in when they’re not busy fucking up the country and making everything worse.

“… saying if you don’t get this continuing resolution passed, we won’t be able to pursue the impeachment inquiry,” Rosendale said in a Monday interview on Fox News. “That’s nonsense.” - THAT’s nonsense?! 🤯

"paste eaters" really got me good. Thanks!

Thanks! ☺️

You know, I'm no politician, and I don't speak politicalspeak that good, but, if the Speaker has the authority to keep the investigations running during shutdown as essential, and the Speaker's saying that a shutdown will stop the investigations, doesn't that mean...

Squeaker of the House li’l Kevin better be careful. He skated dangerously close to the point. 😬 Can never let facts get in the way after all ...

I just like the idea of the visual: Granny and Gramps MAGA are sitting in their double-wide, eating Alpo out of the can in lieu of food purchased with their SS checks, while Empty G sashays around in her white fur "Real Housewives" pelt in the well of the House.

If we have to fund the Government in order to keep the Hunter Biden investigations going why then I guess we will! Thank goodness these Con House members are so selfless, wtf would we do without em?

Expand full comment

Yeah, and the part about "this would hurt the American people" doesn't even register for them. Who cares about those people?!

Having Ken Buck as your Representative is like having no representation at all.

Worse...some sort of anti-representation...

Republicans only exist to impede and cause harm. They never deal with reality. Speaking of which, Mitch McTurtle had another scary frozen brain episode, and clearly is ready for soft music, a crackling fire, and retirement. What’s with these 80+ year old politicians who insist they work until they die in office? And despite Joe Biden remaining lucid and capable, they insist the two are exactly alike medically. Except, ever the hypocrites, they are mostly saying Mitch is “fine” and was just a teensy lightheaded. I hope he’s fine, but retire for Pete’s sake. Diane F too. Come on guys.

Expand full comment

It isn't ageist in Mitch's case because he has appeared to need immediate medical attention twice on TV in the last few months. And fuck that guy, retire from ruining the country with your Klangaroo court.

Maybe he wants to hold on to retire as Senate President. You know, ego.

Expand full comment

Weird. He’s going to return to the soil before too long and all that matters is that he burdened America with unpopular policies that do not serve the majority of us. My brain tells me to have empathy for his struggles, he’s a human being. But he’s so vile and sinister that my heart is being stingy in his case.

I hope he has to wait 100+ years before the GOP is in charge of the Senate again, but I take your point.

among that crowd of smoothbrains the one who can furrow his brow is their intellectual leader.

Do these people truly believe Uncle Joe did anything in the same hemisphere as an impeachable offense? Have they not noticed they have nothing, nada, remotely resembling hard evidence? I don’t know and don’t care what’s in Kevin McCarthy’s shriveled, venal heart, but the rest of them - do they even take themselves seriously?

Expand full comment

in their world, evidence is just some wussy lawyers' thing, not worthy of the attention of the Real True Patriots, who know what they know and refuse to be distracted by facts.

Trump is demanding an impeachment. They want to even the score .

They at least need a “perfect phone call” to justify this shitshow.

2024 primaries are coming up, and they don't want the base pissed at them. Trump's wishes are not to be slighted.

What choice do they have? If any of them had even a soupcon of intelligence, ethics, or morals, they wouldn't be in this ugly little corner to begin with.

I know the GOP primaries are a contest between clownfuck and bugfuck but they have to realize that it will be pretty unpopular among the general electorate?

"Have to"? Can you make them, huh huh huh?
