Fuck You, GOP

...of course government on any level bigger than the Junior Women's Club is not made up of real people that you may know and live amongst but are instead a faceless, nameless phantasm of evil, socialist energy that will merely be forced into some backroom to shake it's fists at the sky "damn you, freedom, you've beaten me THIS time!!!" and rub it's hands with glee at the prospect of coming back again and trying to destroy America as if in some Spy vs. Spy cartoon or Jerry muttering "Newman!!" through clenched teeth. - XMASTIME

A brilliant article makes the same point today re: please quit sending idiots to Washington:

"Let's disrupt Washington," Bush told Fox News's Sean Hannity. “Let's create a little bit of a recession in Washington, D.C., so that we can have economic prosperity outside of Washington." Washington, D.C., is filled with hundreds of thousands of actual American citizens, including me. But Jeb Bush can get away with his lighthearted call for economic suffering for a major U.S. city because the "Washington" of Americans' fevered imaginations is somehow to blame for all their problems. They hate Washington.

Well guess what? We hate you more.

Election after election, districts all over America send their village idiots to Congress to rule over us, to write our laws and to spend trillions of our dollars. Some of the people they elect aren't qualified to spoon food into their own mouths, let alone serve in Congress.

At this moment, Republicans can't figure out who should be the next speaker of the House, one of the most powerful jobs in the government, because they can't find someone who will break the government enough. The 40 members of the House Freedom Caucus – the only members of Congress who love freedom, I guess – want someone who will shut down the government unless President Obama orders a nuclear strike on Planned Parenthood clinics across America. (I think I have that right.) And they're holding the process hostage until they find someone to satisfy their hunger for chaos.

After breaking the government, they'll go home to their constituents to join their complaints about how government just doesn't work. It's that dang Washington, D.C.! If only we could fix it!
