Defaults and Shutdowns

Bingo! The New York Times, “Despite Mr. McCarthy’s prominent role in fund-raising and delivering the House to Republicans and his backing among most in the party ranks, about 20 Republicans refused to support him and for the first time in a century forced repeated rounds of voting for the speakership. … The paralysis underscored the dilemma facing House Republicans: No matter the concessions made to some of those on the far right, they simply will not relent and join their colleagues even if it is for the greater good of their party, and perhaps the nation. They consider themselves conservative purists who cannot be placated unless all their demands are met — and maybe not even then. Their agenda is mostly to defund, disrupt and dismantle government, not to participate in it.”

So, how will RepubliKKKlans govern and manage the House if they can’t get their shit together? They aren’t! They want to burn the fucking country down. They are going to hold the budget hostage, which means there will be government shutdowns. They’ll fail to raise the debt ceiling, which means America will default on its debt. All of this weakens and hurts America, and this will be precisely what people voted for because they are too fucking stupid to safeguard their own democracy. They elected the QAnon kooks and crazies to govern, and they will soon rue the consequences. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America! We are definitely dumber today than yesterday; it’s the American way. I fucking can’t. I just can’t!
