The House Republicans have begun announcing committee assignments today.
Of course, the Really Big Announcement was that McCarthy has assigned Marjorie Traitor Goon to the Homeland Security Committee. Talk about welcoming the fox into the henhouse! Why not have an actual National Threat guide the committee tasked with defending the country? Maybe they’ll finally find out how George Soros launched those Jewish Space Lasers into orbit and what new nefarious attacks from the Soros Space Force we can expect. Yes, that sounds (deliberately) loony - do you think it’s too loony for everybody’s favorite Confederate Potato Face? We can now expect the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas any week.
Since it wasn’t enough to just put her there, McCarthy also assigned her to the House Oversight Committee, the committee with the assignment to chase Democrats wherever they are discovered to be hiding. In addition to Marjorie Traitor Goon, her favorite congressman with whom to appear at White Supremacists conferences held by Actual Nazis, Paul Gosar, is also a newly-seated member of the committee. And just to make sure there’s plenty of grist for Comedy Central and Steven Colbert, these two Nazi-loving scum are going to be seated as the committee’s dias along with Representative Scott Perry, who is actually under investigation by the Special Counsel for his role in the fake electors conspiracy and for introducing Jeffrey Clark to Trump. Anna Paulina Luna, whose real name is Anna Paulina Mayerhofer, who got elected from Florida as a “Mexican-American” on the basis of her meth-addict mother’s maiden name and despite the fact she was raised “Anglo” until she made this choice; topped off by the fact politically she was better-known as a die-hard “Obama-lover” (her term of choice” and the fact she wrote on her TikTok page last year that she didn’t really know what a “conservative” is (not that she’ll have to worry, none of these unreconstructed fascist scum are anywhere in the same universe with being “conservative”). But she loves Donald Trump and that’s enough. Florida’s Byron Donalds, who brings his own unique definition to an ugly term originally invented by the slaves who worked in the fields for the slaves who loved their "Ol’ Massa” and life in the big house (first word is five letters starting with “H” and the second is six letters starting with “N”), joins the committee. And none of them, I promise, will be outdone by the last - but far from least - addition, professional juvenile delinquent and statutory rape enthusiast Lauren Boebert.
Talk about “Who are the worst possible people we could possibly imagine?” to place on one of the most important House committees. You’re going to need the Large Economy Six bucket of popcorn for this collection of clucks.
But that’s not all!!
The CHAIRMAN of this committee is none other than Professional Trump Ass-Kisser and Boot-Licker, top election denyer Mark Green of Tennessee. The list of his crimes is too long to run here before Substack says “this post is long enough.”
Everybody’s favorite Fraternity Freddy and professinal interstate sex trafficker Matt Gaetz remains on the “Judiciary” committee, now Number Two to Assistant Wrestling Coach in charge of seeing nothing while his athletes were raped Jungle Gym Jordan, now the Chairman of this committee and a dedicated dispenser of “Kangaroo Justice.”
House Freedom Caucus true believers in pushing the country into default, Representatives Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Michael Cloud of Texas will serve on Appropriations, the committee tasked with resolving the debt limit crisis. HFC seditionists Donalds and Andy Ogles of Tennessee will be on Financial Services (my bank account feels more secure already).
To be continued….
More:
Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, who flipped to McCarthy on the 13th ballot, will continue to serve on the Appropriations panel. Harris, a physician, will be the chairman of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration subcommittee.
“Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, who was nominated to run against McCarthy for speaker and flipped to him on the 12th ballot, was named by McCarthy as the ‘speaker’s designee’ on the influential Steering Committee, which decides which lawmakers get committee gavels and seats. In other words, a fox is in charge of deciding which fox is placed in what chicken coop. Donalds also won a coveted spot on the Financial Services Committee, a top panel known on Capitol Hill as an ‘A’ committee.”
Freshman Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona, who voted ‘present’ on the 15th ballot, will serve on the Homeland Security Committee. This guy is proud to tell you he was one of those outside the capitol on January 6. So we have an actual domestic white terrorist/seditionist supervising the agency responsible for dealing with domestic white terrorists/seditionists.
I’m sure the List of Despicables will continue.
And just in case you think there really are any “good Republicans” in the House of Representatives, all 18 of the “Biden District Republicans” voted along with every other Republican, to approve ALL these committee assignments.

The Gang of 8--the House and Senate leaders, intelligence, and foreign relations chairs (and maybe I'm missing some) get intelligence briefings from the administration. I would refuse to give briefings with republicans in the room.
Here’s another one, TC.Santos has been appointed to the House, Science and Space Tech Committee. Perhaps because his “biz” is located (and recently relocated from a penthouse condo in my neighborhood to a mail-services store )here on the Space Coast??
