It's sad that the conduct of the Republican extremists in congress has reduced the language of American political discourse to the level of scribblings on a shit house wall, but here we are. So taking up the theme of the GOP's fecal performance as a political force, I just want to mention that If these MAGA Morons don't get their heads out of their asses, the shit sandwiches they're intent on feeding to the American people are likely to be served on burnt toast. Unbeknownst to them, there is such a phenomenon as climate change, as well as many other urgent matters that require astute governance on the part of the so called representatives of the people, but these loose stools are oblivious to reality in their quest to constipate the legislative process on behalf of the God of their despicable misunderstanding, the Tangerine Turd himself, Donald J. Trump. Yes, folks, there are some peanuts in this poop that indicate a diet designed to cause serious anal fissures and other catastrophic health outcomes for the body politic if curative measures aren't deployed soon. To stretch this vulgar metaphor one step further, the only thing to do in the midst of all this feculence is to flush the toilet and pray that toxic residue doesn't back up in the bowl.

That's very good, Stewart.

Our only hope is to get out the plunger of democracy - er, vote - in 2024 and force these sinkers back to the plumbing pipes of their hometowns.

Ah, so colorful. The toxic residue is going straight into the Potomac, bypassing the water filtration department

Well done, sir! Exceptional command of all feculent language and ass-ociated metaphors.

Chuckles and guffaws abound!

As one who will lose my OPM retirement check, I am mortified. Not only for me but for all of us. They have done more damage than the berg did to the Titanic.

BTW, Frank Luntz was a major player in the rise of the “shitshow” faction. So he can just STFU. Or use some of his stupendous word power to wave a magic wand over these MAGAts, chump most of all.

Matt Gaetz is enjoying his short day in the Sun of the media spotlight. He loves the attention and emboldenment. Can’t wait for him to rally the Confederates and descend upon NYC from Trump’s Golden Elevator. His reign will be short

And New Yorkers know just what to do with his ilk! They have detested the tangerine monster knowing too well what an empty piece of garbage

He is and has been all along.

It's hard to watch toddlers having fall-on-the-floor-and-swivel-madly tantrums, which is what McCarthy and other bystanders have been reduced to, helpless to swoop them up and take them to a time-out room. These fools will never, never make America great again because they are the cause of our losses. Dog, I'm glad I'm old.

Granted, I'm no constitutional expert, but how the hell can a sitting president so easily be investigated and impeached and we can't seem to do diddly squat about a handful of obstructionists who are holding the entire country hostage in support of their indicted master? They just managed to find a way around Tuberville to fill critical positions so why can't they find a way around these fascists?

In the Senate, the "go around" was engineered by a Democrat who has brains. In the House, the guy "in charge in name only" is Qevin, and....

McCarthy is such a loser…how can the voters in his Congressional district be so stupid as to elect this schmuck to represent them in Congress…oh, wait, they’re Republicans…I answered my own question. Ah, yes…America is ready to fall off a fiscal cliff yet again and the GOP toddlers are fighting over who gets to drive the bus off of said cliff. We certainly live in interesting times…

The current crop of miscreants, elected to their office by other miscreants, appears to be totally ignorant (or noncaring) of public perception of their behavior. Boebert's public foreplay seems to be just a tip of the iceberg - none of them have a lick of sense or self control and they most certainly are lacking in the IQ department. If they were students, they'd all be sent to "alternative schools" for the rest of the semester.

Love her or hate her, Nancy Pelosi kept all the factions of the Democratc House in line. Some of them squealed a bit, but they squealed harder as she tightened her grip on their, um, appendages, to get the votes needed to pass programs beneficial to all of us. Poor old Sam Rayburn must be throwing up his hands in horror at what his fellow Texans are doing these days!

It is mind-blowing to watch and definitely cringe-worthy as well, but the Republicans in the House are doing just what many in the Democratic Party predicted would happen when they took power..... While the MAGA crowd will no doubt applaud as the House "owns the libs", there are millions of people, independents and more moderate voters, looking at the 3-ring circus we have in the House and saying "not on my watch....." They are truly sowing the wind.....

Catastrophe? Tuesday.

On that journey into history, I suggest that we reluctant passengers will make their travel short-lived. They may not live to reap whatever advantage they thought they would profit from. Thanks for starting the list, TC.
