As we all know watching the media and politics these are whirlwind, twisted times of flashing, concerning comprehension: Israel at war again in horrifying dimensions, President Trump babbling away like a broken clown doll as he goes down in crime, ripping hurricanes, and a relentless grind of complete dismay as more Americans get slaughtered with assault weapons.
Like any good liberal over the years I have my personal agenda of issues and concerns that I always watch, hope and worry about, but omg I did not see the current House implosion coming this year, if House political dynamics don’t drastically somehow change fast we are looking at a broken institution, the US government will quickly malfunction with immediate disastrous consequences.
This came out of nowhere because the regressing Republicans, amazingly, currently don’t possess base political acumen and actors to run a majority in the House. Never have I seen a House Party that cannot elect a leader, that cannot understand country stewardship, that will not comprehend stupid radical antics can only hurt themselves.
God how I miss Madame Nancy Pelosi, pathetically the House can’t pass a usually sail-through Agriculture appropriations bill, yesterday stupid Republican House quacks attached ridiculous amendments that will never pass the Senate or be signed by the President, she never would have allowed it to happen.
The House quacks are gleefully oblivious this isn’t how Congress works, agriculture subsidies get worked up through committee with procedure and rules, the final votes are supposed to approve the overall end result, not blow it up with ridiculous radical demands. The overall result is kind of important, yes, without it the government and country can’t run!
An alarm klaxon is blaring in the background that the House is on continuing resolution, they already failed and shutdown averted by an extension, the clock ticks louder and louder every second that the House must get its act together but they still wander cluelessly.
Not surprising considering the dismaying quack the Republicans finally elected Speaker in desperate exhaustion, are you kidding me? This disgustingly smug white boy clown of gerrymander and gross theocracy can’t control his own caucus, yes, but he’s also totally clueless on how to guide appropriations past the Senate or President.
House Republicans, in their stinking regression, somehow forgot that a House Majority doesn’t mean they get to run the government. In their rank stupidity they somehow never learned there’s always another day in American politics, you accept current results with hope for future change. They’re clueless that within the constitutional framework allowed this very second they enforce gross inequality, regression and suppression, an alleged desire to blow it all up so unnecessary.
There are completely serious regression consequences for the country, yes, but the deep immediate knifing the Republican Party will take will be a new phenomenon of American political suicide to watch. That’s why I never saw this coming, I never expected the Republican Party to so stupidly knife themselves so quickly. It only makes sense if you’re watching a Party in accelerating regression, not a normal human functional political entity.
Another reason the House implosion is flying under the radar is that for too many times the government played shutdown chicken, which precisely happened three weeks ago, the shouting got louder and louder that disaster was looming and at the last second an extension was granted–again. Little people watching get tired of the game and expect the inevitable result, the sky didn’t fall and life goes on.
I doubt very much the Senate will grant an extension again, at some point the House just has to function. All signs at this point in time show complete House regression and dysfunction, they cannot pass appropriations and the US government will begin to shut down.
There will be immediate harmful economic consequences as US government cash stops flowing. Just as catastrophic will be a smashing hit to US government faith and integrity, our people have to believe in government to make it work, a shutdown will just encourage more regression everywhere in subtle, insidious ways.
How weary already I am of Republican regression, they’ve quacked and wrecked the Supreme Court, the Presidency has been forever despoiled by Trump and is still endangered, they deny climate change and invest in nothing for the future. Now they’ve wrecked the House, god, what’s next?
A really grim holiday season, I’m afraid, all these years we took for granted a functional House, without one we don’t have a functional government, without that we’re going to find out how nasty, brutish and short American life will really become.
