Another day, another Republican spurns the Monkey House. Wisconsin’s Mike Gallagher, once considered a young rising star, is abandoning the Republican Party by voluntarily giving up his Congressional seat. And he’s doing it at just the right time to twist the knife and kick the trash cans over on his way out the door. Gallagher announced his departure just inches over the limit for a new election. Thus, taking a safe Republican vote out of play for the remainder of the session. Reducing the Republican majority to a single seat.
Add in the Katzenjammer kids of Marge Traitor Greene and Lauren Beetle Juice Boebert and you can see the problem. Why are these wealthy men leaving a soft and prestigious job? It took a lot of time and money to get there. A lot of people were counting on them. People went door to door and signed petitions. And would one so abandon this desire so easily? A life ambition making it to Congress and then you arrive only to shout; “Oh Fuck No! Get me out of here!” And then quit like a fry cook at Burger King.
You’ve moved from Lompoc or Peoria, and you’ve got a nice little apartment in Washington D.C. You’re living the dream! Next stop the Senate, and after that, maybe the big house at the end of the street. You’ve been dreaming about it since boyhood. Any boy? Say, that could be me! Ever since that first speech for student council back in middle school. How bad must it be on the inside? When we only get the made for TV version and don’t get the unsanitized inside edition or the blooper reel.
Marge Traitor Greene the Trailer Park Red Queen shouts. “Off with his head, off with his head!” Unhappy that House Speaker Mike (Penile Euphemism) Johnson signed a budget deal averting a costly government shutdown. Greene screams, he violated our Conservative principles by making a deal and accomplishing something. The red queen wants no deals. She wants fire and invective. She wants to burn it all down! Let them eat shit! You ain’t the boss of me. I’ll do what I want!
Greene is maneuvering for a leadership role (Yes, I know. It is insane.) Greene shouts, “Who’s with me here?” and is greeted by crickets. Greene is presenting herself to a TV audience as a mover and shaker and a serious voice in the Party who is generally ignored. One of the Matt Gaetz marauding morons of the Free Dumb Caucus. Dedicated to the proposition of Obstructionism Uber Allis.
Shut down the government and blame Joe Biden. Fire speaker McCarthy because he worked with Joe Biden. Start an impeachment inquiry of…you guessed it, Joe Biden. Starve our allies of war materials and blame Joe Biden. Foment a phony crisis at the border that has been going on for over a hundred years and then blame Joe Biden. And now; Mike Johnson is a marked man. He’ll suffer the wrath of the Red Queen on low IQ theater.
They must really, really, hate each other! Most all of us have suffered through difficult coworkers in our past but this is Congress, for Pete’s sake! Good wages and great benefits and it doesn’t hurt with the ladies either. You’re a big shot and a job at the bank or an insurance company just isn’t going to replace that prestige. By stepping aside, it almost certainly ends any future political aspirations. Permeated with an air of undependability and letting down the side.
Why contribute to a candidate who might not finish out his term? When the going gets tough, the Republican tough get going! Right out of Congress. Repeatedly the Republican escapees like Ken Buck described the experience as toxic. But toxic how? Toxic what? Toxic who?
The question which needs no answer, the Monkey House is Trump country. Let’s investigate Hunter Biden. Then let’s impeach Joe! “Let’s work on the budget.” No, we don’t want to! No, no, a thousand times no! No to everything! No, to stuff you guys haven’t even thought up yet. No, damn it, Never! Take that, Joe Biden!
You might have noticed an unseasonable frostiness between the Republican Monkey House and Mitch McConnell. Senate Republicans pretending not to know those guys. Yes, Mitch is resigning the leadership but that is to be expected anyway. Mitch is an old, old man. His time has passed in any case.
This is the foundation that Donald Trump will run for office on. A political Party at war with itself over the issue of “I ended Roe” Donald Trump. “Criminal” Donald Trump. “Crazy,” Donald Trump. A Senate that remains quiet and a house that won’t shut up.
Donald Trump goes on his Twuth Social network to tell his brain slug chimpsters, he has $500 million hanging loose in drawers around his house. Right after his attorneys just got finished telling the Judge he didn’t have it. Of course, Trump doesn’t really have the money. If he did, why all the “Nobody will Bond us pity party?” Poor mouthing to the judge, while bragging to the simian simpletons.
Can you read the tea leaves and see the future here? These people seriously dislike each other. To the point where they will abandon lifetime career goals just to escape the madness. The red queen shouting, “Off with his head” every time, she’s startled. Playing to the low Q urchins and penny stinkers “Look at me! Look at me!” Creating a stand off and a nuclear firing squad.
Donald Trump will ruin Republican chances of holding control of Congress, while Congress will ruin Donald Trump’s chances at the White House.
It’s five minutes to twelve and at midnight on November 5th Trumperella turns back into a turd. Play the video backwards, he’s going up the stairs this time. All done, and all over and leaving the Republican Party ideologically broken and shattered to matchsticks.
