Fear and Loathing in Congress: Why a Shutdown is Inevitable

You could feel the fear in the room during the House impeachment inquiry hearing as Republicans repeated the same old lies and accusations hoping they would suddenly become true.

Little chance of that happening. The House MAGA minions were so afraid of Trump that they willingly put their careers (and honor) in jeopardy trying to defend him with debunked accusations against President Biden and son Hunter.

As Democrats skillfully parried their accusations you could see the desperation and fear growing in the room as each realized they were getting crushed because they had no evidence. Not that they ever did. 

Instead, GOP members like Marjorie Taylor Greene were showing pornography, or getting fact checked by the Democrats for lying.

How could anyone take people like Lauren Boebert (caught sexually fondling her boyfriend in a public place) seriously? It's impossible if you look at her stunts in Congress and public places.

You could feel the loathing in Rep. Pramila Jayapal's speech as she described all the constituents that would be affected by a government shutdown. 

Greene interrupted her and said she was lying but was immediately fact checked by Jayapal who produced documents showing who would be affected by not funding government programs for the poor and low income in Greene's district.

No one watching the hearing will come away thinking it had any merit and was more important than dealing with a government shutdown.

How could anyone watching take the Republicans seriously? Many of the members had already decided to shut the government down, and that this clown act was good PR for their crazy creds. 

They want to burn the House down. They are cult members seeking a government of one...Trump. And they don't even deny it when publicly confronted!  

As it stands, today's charade is just a prelude to what McCarthy and his dysfunctional members plan on doing to please their master, the Orange Disaster!
