It started out silly.
Tricorner hats with teabags on the fringe and political conventions.
We had crazies with yellow snake flags and six shooters in thigh holsters at political rallies with actual candidates within shooting range.
We had crazies doing stunt filibusters in the Senate.
We have the Fucking Speaker of the Fucking House inviting a man who has NEVER seen a possible war he didn't want the US to fight for him to speak to our Congress. Without telling the White House. Two weeks before the Israeli Prime Minister was hoping to be reelected.
Now we have some pipsqueak fucking looney from some backwater part of Dumbfuckistan elected by the ill informed haters from Dumb Fuck Nation going over the head of the White House and the entire diplomatic apparatus of the United States and showing to the entire world just how fucking stupid is the fringe right of this country.
What is out of hand is just how far these motherfuckers will go in undercutting everything in their path as the run toward . . . . . what, exactly?
I'll tell you what that "what" is.
It is NOTHING. These fuckers don't really have ANY agenda apart from being more and more outrageous in entertaining the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging Dumbfuckistanians who elected them to office.
Where and how does this even end? The scary bit is that they're growing in number in the OFFICIAL halls of government.

Downright damned frustrating as all hell!!!

(21,946 posts)pay the piper for a change. No apologies to them for calling a spade a spade. An investigation on who is behind all this and mark my words, there is money behind it then bring the hammer down on them for trying to undermine the executive branch of the government.

Been a while since I have seen you post hope all is well.

(36,063 posts)It's a political demolition derby to see who can destroy the greatest number of regulations and laws to achieve total dysfunction at the federal level.
They've found a way to kill the federal government without having to wait until it shrinks enough to drown it.

(86,920 posts)they want a civil war here and will keep pushing until they get it.
I am absolutely convinced that the TP are the sovereign citizens, only in suits and roaming freely in the hall of our legislative body. The beatings will continue until WE make it stop.

(19,569 posts)Not you specifically, but all of us in general. That's what we need to be asking ourselves. Look at the districts/states these mouth breathing idiots are in and form a workable plan.
We need to be sabotaging their plans for our country, not the other way around.

(24,654 posts)The demonization of public governance includes the Tea Party decrying taxation in an effort to "starve the beast" coupled with dumbfuck behavior on the part of elected officials to prove their fallacious point. That corporations are by definition better for us than government.
It will take someone a lot of work to convince me I am wrong.

Then we'll see what all the entertainment was for.
The U.S. will be the first, second and only nation to use nuclear weapons.
