The beltway farce

Do you have any idea what's going on in the so-called lame duck congressional session in Washington? I don't. Been very busy so haven't been tracking the blow-by-blow, but this is what seems to be happening:

The compromise tax bill that the Comrade put together with McConnell and Boehner I believe failed in the House. Pazzo and crackpot Vermont socialist Sanders were just outraged that even the Comrade had agreed to stop plundering the "rich" (very loosely defined). I thought the bill failed. I could be wrong.

Apparently there's a similar bill in the Senate -- stopping the massive tax increase, etc. But I thought I also heard somewhere that some senators were stuffing it full of pork. Or maybe the pork thing is in the House. Or, quite likely it's in both chambers. I mean let's face it, the blockheads inside the beltway have forgotten how to legislate without dangling juicy little bits of over-priced and generally useless public works projects in front of each other.

And the real kicker is the Comrade uncrating Can't-Keep-It-Zipped Bill Clinton from mothballs in upstate New York and getting Clinton to explain to the press how a pivot works. Clinton heaved himself from side-to-side at the podium and hinted at the huge benefits he'd be gaining via the compromise tax bill, since he makes so much money now. And the Comrade had to leave -- apparently Michelle was having a Christmas party. Or maybe Kwanzaa or Festivus?

Anyone else beginning to get a little nauseous at these antics?

I don't find Clinton endearing or reassuring. I was absolutely astounded -- and bitterly disillusioned in the American public -- when that buffoon was re-elected.

And, hey, Comrade, ever try making your own decisions? I mean, really, why was this jerk elected?

This is all really a disgrace. It's appalling. Just appalling.

Who are these idiots?

Save the Republic.
