Worst. Congress. Ever.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

By Dana Milbank

A year ago, I assigned myself to the Capitol to cover the new House Republican majority, suspecting that this erratic crowd of lawmakers would provide some lively material.

They did not disappoint. What I could not have known then, however, was that this would turn out to be the most ineffective session of Congress in nearly a century — and quite possibly in all of American history.

The year began with chaos and incompetence. It ended with chaos and incompetence. In between were self-created crises and shocking moments of fratricide — interspersed with more chaos and incompetence.

“This will go down as ... the least productive Congress since the Great Depression,” Rep. Joe Neguse, Democrat of Colorado, observed this week as the Rules Committee marked up plans for an impeachment inquiry into President Biden for imaginary crimes.

1. I'm in awe of Millbank's piece.

Beyond excellent.

2. Problem is, they don't WANT govt to work

He governs best who governs least, as the saying goes. But I bet at least some regret that they look like such idiotic jerks while they’re busy not helping the country.

3. That was their intenet all along...

Make sure that government did not work for the people... their self fulfilling prophecy/fallacy.
