It’s a Spat, Y’all.
The Republican have a nightmare scenario and it doesn’t involved nuclear weapons.
Three months into the new Congress, some Republicans are fearful that their failure to repeal ObamaCare could spell doom for the rest of President Trump’s legislative agenda.
Some Capitol Hill Republicans have envisioned the nightmare scenario for 2017, and it goes like this: No ObamaCare repeal. No tax reform. No trillion-dollar infrastructure package. No border wall.
See, my nightmare scenario is that a handbag designer gets us into nuclear war.
But, even with that aside, Republicans are fighting so badly among themselves that you’d think it was cheerleader tryouts at the Dallas Cowboys.
And the recriminations among Republicans only seem to be getting nastier.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the head of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, “is a pathological liar who isn’t interested in getting to yes,” one House GOP colleague of Meadows told The Hill in a fit of frustration over the stalled health negotiations.
Then another one blamed Ryan, and then some guy from Idaho claimed other Republican members were trashing each other while hiding behind anonymity. And then some guy from Nebraska claimed his car was nicer than the guy’s from Indiana. Okay, so I’m just making stuff up now but you almost believed it.
We need a new rule: if you can’t organize a damn Easter Egg Hunt, you can’t run the country.
No honor among thieves .
Well Ivanka will be at the Easter Egg Hunt and she’s the only thing that matters to Trump, besides himself.
1The love between father and daughter is truly inspirational as Ivanka unwraps chocolate marshmallow eggs for daddy while sitting on his lap telling him time and again what a great man he is.
The Congressional Repubs have been like this for a long time. It’s just that when Obama was President the Repubs didn’t recognize it. They are now discovering that a policy of blocking everything and accomplishing nothing is not conducive to governing.
2It used to be, the worst people could say about someone is they can’t organize a goat roping. Not being able to organize an Easter egg roll, now that’s something worse.
3Kids can’t find any Easter Eggs.
Republicans can’t find who to blame for their own nightmare scenario and general incompetence.
If only we could shrink Republicans and dip them in chocolate, they might make themselves useful in some small way this weekend. Except, after the first kid found one, the rest of the kids would give up looking. Worst treat ever, even chocolate can’t disguise the mushy b—s— filling.
4The Freedumb Cockups (aka Teaparty) don’t compromise, not even with members of their own party, so no surprises here. They love to hear themselves raging and arguing and feeling dominant, much like the nutjobs who voted for them. Here’s hoping they second amendment themselves into a mass extinction.
5The politest thing I can say about this is “That’s what you get when you fire everybody who knows how it’s done.” which also applies to all the departments of the government you’re supposed to be running.
6Would it surprise anyone to learn that the Freedom Caucus by its own volition is building itself a bigger and bigger funeral pyre? Damn few people like them and those that do live so far away GPS can’t find them. That is one in-house nasty group!
7They organized an easter egg hunt and then tipped off Drumpf’s brats where all the eggs were. Then they feigned surprise that Drumpf’s kids found every egg in one basket in Drumpf tower where no one but Drumpf’s are allowed to go. Then they blamed it on Obama.
8I went to the Whitehouse.gov page for the Easter Egg Roll.
They spend a couple of paragraphs discussing performers from previous years, including: Idina Menzel, Echosmith, Jordin Sparks, Colbie Caillat, Justin Bieber, and the cast of Glee.
This year’s performers: the Martin Family Circus and “a Sesame Street costumed character” and a “stay tuned for updates” message.
9This is another job for Jared Kushner. Being that he”a Jewish, his qualifications and experience with conducting an Easter Egg Roll should be right on par with the qualifications he has for all of his other roles.
10Trump’s main business is running hotels, right? Hotels have big events: parties, conventions, etc. It’s what they do and they have people how know how to do it. They couldn’t find one person from Trump Inc. to pick up the notes from the last fifty years on how to run the Easter Egg Roll and plan the thing. But Trump knows all the best people!
11My Dad’s expression was, “He could screw up a one-car funeral.”
Let’s all run government like a business. That means getting rid of everybody who knows how to run a government. Keep going, folks– you’re just proving to us all what a gang of incompetents you are.
12A guy whose name escapes me used to work for Orange Whore and says he’s illiterate. If so, how does he read the teleprompter, like for SOTU speech?
The question is related to the egg roll. Part of the event includes reading a story to the children. IF he can read, the mental image of Orange Whore with a child or two on his lap while reading a story to them . . . . . er, oops, urp, bathroom!
13Debbo, they use pictures on the teleprompter for our mentally challenged president.
14No time for an Easter Egg Roll – they’re too busy rolling the American people!
Ba-dump-BUMP!
Try the veal.
