“… in the conservatory with a candlestick…” made me spit out my coffee, and a hearty belly laugh is all you can ask for in these times. Thanks, Roy.

Gohmert's just mad 'cause they wouldn't let him wear his Grand Wizard regalia on the floor of the House (but not as mad as Gym Jordan 'cause they made him wear a jacket)

Yeah, this was great, especially the endlessly mockable Louie Gohmert, Padishah Emperor For Life of the Crazy People (h/t CPP). What was sadly pathetic of the Impeachment Vote was that almost none of the Republicans actually defended Trump the person, much less what he actually did. It was, as it has been from the beginning, all about the "process".

This is almost as incoherently stupid as the things the Republicans said on the Floor of the House yesterday. I was on a long drive with little else to listen to, trying to keep track of how many times they said "Democrat" as an adjective (without the option of drinking) but I had to quit when some backwoods inbred brought up Obama's pedophilia. Which they didn't impeach him for! Because they respect something, something, Hillary, crimes, argle bargle.

The Repulican response was all garbled up assholes. One right after the other. Who organized that? Not the garbled up assholes. The garbling gets in the way of any real planning. Was it Trump? He's admittedly the King GUA. But doesn't his garbledness preclude any kind of organizing? I mean W was garbled AF,but everybody figured it didn't matter because Rove and Cheny were really calling the shots for the Kochs and the Mercers. Who calls the shots for this bunch of yahoos? Pascale? That creepy fuck? Somebodys going to figure out he hasn't registered with local law enforcement or lives too close to an elementary school or such the like and his skeevy ass is gone.

I bet it's Elaine Chao.

That makes sense actually.

There's this weird hive-mind phenomenon among conservatives. We used to joke about how everyone got their talking points sent by FAX every day, but it's really Fox News and a network of rightwing websites. They read and hear the newest talking points in the morning before they go to work, and they hear the replacement ones at lunch, and another fresh set on the drive home. And they're disciplined/brainwashed so that everyone repeats everything the same at the same time.

Meanwhile, with liberals, it's like the old saying goes for Jews: Two liberals. three opinions.

GUA. That's a good name for their new party. Or GUAN - Nazis.

History will repeat this farce, the second time as ultra-farce-so-farcical-your-thymus-explodes.
