Jeff Tiedrich - a shutdown, but with morons

the third government shutdown of the Mad King’s reign is now a week old, and shows no sign of ending any time soon.

this spiffy new shutdown is dumbfuckier than the previous two, and here’s why: back in 2018 and 2019, there were still a few adults in the Republican party smart enough to eventually realize they were holding a losing hand, and that it was time to bring that shit to an end.

this time, the adults are all gone. the Republican party is morons all the way down — and they’re too fucking stupid to realize that once again, they’re holding a losing hand.

hey, want to see what happens when you take a fake-diet-pill-pushing grifter, put him in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, and then ask him to explain why insurance premiums are about to spike?
