House GOP In Total And Utter Chaos
“The GOP-controlled House left town yesterday with no path forward on government funding and a shutdown looming when the fiscal year ends a week from tomorrow.”
I think we can all agree the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury is something we can kick to the curb with very few consequences.
Apparently.

Can’t decide the worst part of the Brooks tweet. How out of touch he is, the fact that he spent $60 on airport booze, or that he took all the good stuff off the hamberder.
3 ketchups, and no toppings? That’s a sign he’s a trump cultist.

Yet another reason for me to despise the Republican Party.
The Republican-led Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression, or Eats, Act aims to end the authority of states and localities to set animal welfare and food safety standards. If passed, it could also jeopardize more than 1,000 state and local health and safety laws that set food-quality requirements and stop the spread of invasive species and zoonotic diseases like avian flu. Experts say that legislation this extreme would ordinarily be unlikely to pass, but its supporters are pushing the Eats Act as part of this year’s critical package of agriculture policies known as the farm bill, so there’s a greater possibility of it becoming law.
If the Eats Act were to pass, it essentially would mean “anything goes” when it comes to regulating animal agriculture.

Brooks gets dissed a lot for his vapid brand of middlebrow conservatism but it’s good to see he’s finally been caught committing the act common to the entire Conservative species: bare-assed lying.

Thomas has ALWAYS felt like he was ‘entitled’ to screw over the USA…from his ‘high tech lynching’ comments to his marriage to Ginny…

Know what’s shameful? To think that Clarence Thomas filled the seat of the great Thurgood Marshall.

One paragraph in this legislation mandates illegal immigrants are given at least an hour per day of outdoor exercise before they’re harvested for their internal organs.

Amen. Never forget who did this to our country: George H.W. Bush.

Back when I was in grad school we had a phrase for folks like David Brooks: Lying sack of shit. And since I have a PhD in Statistics, I know how to do simple math: at $17.78 for a burger, fries, and a double shot of whiskey and with a total tab of $78.00, Our Mr Brooks had at least 4 of those D. Brooks Specials (and tipped his server half a sawbuck–cheapskate), or he had a whole bunch more than 4 double whiskeys on that bar tab.
Now, I’m not a particularly big drinker, so 4 double whiskeys (12 ounces or 17.6 deciliters) would leave me in a condition where I’d have be wheeled onto the plane. I would suggest that Mr. Brooks might have a binge drinking problem?

It’s sad that Smoke House is telling David Brooks that he can’t beat their meat at the Newark Airport.

We think so, too. And we do call him schnauzer cat now.
Our grandson saw him via FaceTime last Sunday on my Happy B-day Grandad call, and said, “What did you do to Darius???”
BTW, he is one of those cats with a perpetual scowl. He was purring when I took that picture, possibly because he likes usurping my work chair.

Someone tied your cat in knots. And turned your Puppy into a cat. Or vice versa.
The very “diabolical symphony in league with forces that threaten to shatter the very fabric of reality and sow chaos in our perception of the truth” of which you speak.

Why on earth would David Brooks be so cavalier with what’s left of his credibility?
80% of $78 = $62.40
$78 - $62.40 = $15.60 for a burger and fries.
That’s actually not much worse than Burger King.
