‘Kidney Shot Heard Round the World’ Hilarious Take Off From Lincoln Project On McCarthy/Burchett

What a cast of characters we have doing political theater in both the upper and lower chambers of Congress this session. My Gawd. If it can get any stranger than this, I hope I don’t live to see it. Unless you were in a cave for the first three days of this week and are now just emerging into the sunlight, you know that fists and elbows were either thrown, or threatened in both the House and Senate.

The lack of civility in our nation has reached a new low. Of that there is no question. And the rationale for this is disturbing as well. Most pundits weigh in on the side of the normalization of violence in our culture — on the part of the GOP, let us make sure to stipulate here — as being a sign of support for their Nazi sloganeer standard bearer, Donald Trump. That is sobering. Which makes it all the more welcome that we have this bit of comic relief.

No, it was not the season finale — except for George Santos. That spin off show looks to be canceled, finally. It’s intriguing how that isn’t a bigger news piece today, but what I think is happening there, is that people are so disgusted with the fact that Santos hung on for so long, when he was so obviously guilty and corrupt, that we’ve all become jaded. Yes, it is a relief that Santos will soon be gone, but on a certain level, people are almost afraid to believe it. It’s simply because we have been through so much.

Speaking of what we’ve been through, here’s a trip down memory lane. Do you remember this one?

And while we’re walking down Memory Lane, how about this?

When I heard his voice this morning on MJ I'm like I've heard that voice before. I wonder if he got to the bottom of that other thing dang nabbit https://t.co/25epCjbABd

So, let’s review now, shall we? The UFO guy got elbowed by the used car salesman and this was because the UFO guy voted out the car salesman and voted in the dinosaur/ark guy. Whut? That’s the size of it, believe me. That’s the gravamen of the dispute, right there, the fact that Burchett didn’t want McCarthy anymore but he did want Johnson. And it makes perfect sense. UFO guys and dinosaur guys go together. Do we have a flat earther in Congress? We need a flat earther. Maybe Louie Gohmert knows somebody. Paul Gosar almost assuredly does.

2/Am I the only one that has noticed a degradation of humanity and ethics since the FG came down the escalator? Are we really so weak, that we have to look up to that "person". A man who thinks groping women, and punching political opponents, is perfectly normal and encouraged?

The GOP is that weak, yes. Trump is their standard bearer. That's the best that they could do is put him and Pence on the top of their ticket. And the rest, unfortunately, is history.

What a clown show. What a zoo. This is what’s left of the GOP. And as Hakeem Jeffries said, it’s not over yet. There are many more spectacles to come. Heaven help us.
