    It’s fun to watch the implosion, but I’d really like a government that fucking works. This shit is getting old… too old even for Gaetz to be interested in.

    The disaffected lefty in me is loving the shit show on the right, but my inner pragmatist who’s aware of history is on edge. Gaetz is a shitgibbon of the lowest order, who only exists to create chaos because he thinks he can ride it to the top. It’s fun to watch the other guy’s weasel get loose, but now there’s a fucking weasel loose. Last time this happened, we elected the weasel to the highest office.

      You’ve got a way with words. I think the difference in this case is that the blue guy let the weasel loose - it didn’t get loose on its own like in 2016. I’d hope the one who let him loose did the math on this one.
