I mean, what's a circus without balloons?

However this circus has no ringleaders, they turned on McCarthy, their fascist messiah is going to prison, and McConnell appears to be suffering from strokes on the regular.

At this rate, we're going to have a government shutdown in November when the temporary funding expires, but the GOP won't have anyone to blame but themselves. Now, if only their voters will see that...

It's frustrating when only one party cares about reality and consequences. Anyone still voting Republican must be either incredibly ignorant, (they believe the GOP leadership when they openly lie,) or malevolent, (they are aware of what they are doing, implementing christofascism, trying to end democracy, and they like it.)
