Good Lord, what a Yoho!

There’s a guy, who when other Yohos look at him, say, “There goes a real Yoho!”

Have at it!!

The House of Representatives is expressly authorized to censure within the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 5, clause 2). In the House of Representatives, censure is essentially a form of public humiliation carried out on the House floor .

Poor, sad Ted. He was having such a good time with his asshole buddies vandalizing the country. Then the “fucking bitches” took away their majority. No fun at all, now. Too hard. Had to quit. Sad.

Petty little GOP acting out when they finally get their due. Deservedly driven from power by honest and respectable people who have had to here with their bullshit and corruption.

God tells them everything they think and feel is righteous because He has promised every one of them the Presidency.

That’s why they can’t disagree with each other.

If Yoho is that stupid, think about the level of stupidity among those who elected him. That should give us all pause.

Here in Pennsylvania, the local police would consider this type of verbal assault, “harassment,” bordering on “terroristic threats.” Both misdemeanors, but at least YOHO would be held accountable for his stupid attack on AOC.

Think about the most average person you know. Half the population is dumber than that.

Perhaps he feels liberated by his retiring from Congress.

He’s a large animal veterinarian, so I suppose he wants to spend more time with his udders.

More likely: some sort of wingnut welfare lined up.

I pledge to any cow I ever own that I will not let Ted Yoho anywhere near her. I owe my future cow that much at least.
