Highlights: The U.S. government stands as a mockery to its intentions, and the disease that was formerly in the White House now runs wild in Congress.

When Trump was president, we focused on the disease in one human. Now, we have to deal with the likes of George Santos running down the hallway screaming at imaginary foes.

House Republicans have apparently lashed themselves to the mooring of their sinking ship, floundering in a storm of their own making. They are not unlike toddlers sloshing back and forth in the bathtub and crying about the results.

The rambunctious, impetuous and chronically underachieving Republicans, eager to blame everyone else for everything while accepting responsibility for nothing, are busy destroying themselves in public for at least the third time since they took over the House barely nine months ago.

    I’m not all that much of a sailor, but I’m pretty sure lashing yourself to a mooring is absolutely the wrong metaphor here. A mooring is a solid point you tie your ship to while (for instance) in dock. They’re like those metal cleats you throw your ropes around. A ship lashed to a mooring is safe (ish).

    What I think they meant is that they lashed themselves to the mast or the wheel. Both of those are metaphors for wanting to go down with the sinking ship.

      Or maybe the Republicans are like a ship that is so broken that is is sinking even while it is docked.

      Mooring is also the ropes or chains you use to attach your boat to the dock so if you tie yourself to then you’re going down with the boat.

        A mooring is an anchor (or giant block) with a line attached to a floating thing. You grab the floating thing and tie your ‘mooring line’ to it and then you are ‘moored’. If you were at a dock you could use the same rope and it would be called a ‘dock line’ and then you are ‘docked’

        Yes, nomenclature is a pain in the ass.

    We should be applauding GOP for constantly pushing the envelope to what low can really look like

    And they’ll blame Biden for inflation and “Independents” and “Libertarians” will vote GOP as usual.

    Republicans are GREATLY emboldened and buoyed by the 70 Million Americans who voted for Trump.

    They are ignorant of all of this idiocy and wish to remain so.
