This is actually a new one. Seriously. It’s nothing new that the Republicans have a unified government but still can’t govern. History is rife with examples of that. But it is brand new that they control both chambers of Congress and the White House — but claim that they’re not in control. Who is in control, then, Mikey? We see you holding the gavel and standing at the podium, so we’re going to take that as our first clue as to who is in charge. Because if you’re telling us Hakeem is really in charge, that’s swell. That’s beyond swell. Hand him the gavel and sit the phuque down, you pathetic excuse for a statesman.

Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

Only hearing it with your own ears is believing right? And even then it beggars acceptance, it’s so far off the walls. What Johnson is REALLY saying is that he’s not in charge. And there’s a lot of truth in that. Johnson is in so far over his head that the only image which does him justice as Speaker is that of the apes staring at the Monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey. That’s how mismatched Johnson is for the role he’s currently playing on the world stage.

Speaking of which, listen to the latest rambling of the Imbecile In Chief — to a stone dead audience. Morticians routinely play to a livlier crowd than this.

Gone. Forget going going going, he’s already gone. Now if this was real, it would have gotten a reaction. But it’s not, so it didn’t.

Trump's fakes numbers keep increasing: "$17 trillion but it's gonna be $20, $21 trillion, and that's numbers that have never been heard of before."

Now is that the money Trump just “found” or is that the amount of foreign investment that he believes that Europe is making (I’m sure you recall a stone faced Ursula Von Der Leyen listening to this nonsense) or what is Trump going on about?

First things first. Let’s see if the government shutdown — that’s the unified Republican government shutdown we’re speaking of, there is no other — breaks a record. If that happens, it will happen within the next week, after Day 34. Let’s see if the military gets paid, let’s see what happens to SNAP payments, let’s see some very grassroots things take place or not take place.

I predict a major GOP capitulation because they know they cannot allow health insurance premiums to go up 400% and blame it on the Democrats. That’s the gamble that they’re setting up right now, but it’s not going to be doable to blame Biden or the Democrats for that. But know that as the midnight oil burns on Capitol Hill, there is no other discussion.
