I fear the GOP’s only ruling gear is “clusterfuck.”

This month we’ll confirm Republicans can’t walk and chew gum.

And just because all of this looked too easy…

…Irma is now a Cat 4 with sustained winds of 150mph, well on its way to being a Cat 5.

September is going to be a massive mess.

Not limited to Health Care…

CNN shows it likely tracks straight north through Florida or just east.

Time will tell.

That Bermuda high has been keeping it on a more southerly path, but its starting to get beyond its influence. The jet stream has started retreating, but its probably not strong enough to pull Irma up with it. So the models are starting to converge on some sort of path that look pretty awful for Miami.

Living where I do, I DO NOT want to see this monster get into the Gulf. That’s the sort of scenario that includes 170mph+ winds.

A fish storm however, seems pretty unlikely. Even if it does turn before hitting Miami, its almost certainly going to be pegging something further up the coast like NC/SC.

Thank God for blistering incompetence. If these fools ever get their act together we’re in real trouble.

Wasting the first 8 months of a year has consequences.

GOP issues a statement that gum is now a gateway drug to atheism and Islam and should be immediately outlawed.

This entire administration is all about lowering the bar in every respect.

Congressional Republicans are completely unable to govern but know that they’re facing two potential catastrophes they would own entirely should they occur. I’m going to guess that Pelosi and Schumer will have a lot more say in the final budgets than the Republicans would want them to have. Desperation drives hard bargains.

They been screwing around for so long that even if everyone was working in good faith on the same goals there may not be enough time to get everything done that needs doing. Just getting agreed-on votes through both houses and to the president requires a couple of days. And there are multiple things that need to go through. So the question is more like which deadlines they bust. (And that’s assuming yet another thing doesn’t go wrong, or that the Assh*le Caucus doesn’t decide to derail things for the heck of it.)

Price’s fake smile is the perfect symbol of the Trump administration. Ha ha! Got you.

So confirmation of GOP not being able to walk and to chew gum at the same time is backed up because their processes are in a state of constipation?

Yes, too much blocking for them to tackle anything else.

Remember when Donnie bragged that only he could solve all of these problems?? That was hilarious!!

They have spent the last 8 years being the party of ‘no’ and have not worked on developing any legislation. They have forgotten that they are there to participate in the process… not just block it and watch it die on the vine. They really have been painting themselves into a corner.
