For the sake of you mental health, avert your eyes. Pay no attention to the Republican 🤡 show opening in Congress today. R agenda for 2 years: 1. Pointless investigations of stupid shit. 2. Loud shouting about somebody’s laptop. 3. Publicized demonization of Joe Biden, Democrats, urbanites, educators, blacks, gays, trans, non-fundamentalist non-Christians, etc. 4. Repeated attempts to prevent governance from occurring in the US.
