Bear in mind again in November when the pink tsunami Republicans had boasted about evaporated into skinny blue air? Properly, they’re at it once more. And after beginning the brand new yr with a bang — as in a protracted week of 15 ballots simply to elect a Speaker whereas embracing sociopaths like George Anthony Devolver Kitara Ravache George Castanza Santos — they’re absolutely on track to ship a repeat efficiency in 2024.

To proceed their efforts, February begins with many Republican Congressfolk eschewing their American flag pins, as soon as proudly worn on their lapels, changing the patriotic badges with tiny cartoon-like rifles that will look smarter on Elmer Fudd’s brown burlap coat.

It’s nice that Republicans are maintaining with their new custom of sinking the final three elections in a row with unpatriotic acts. It absolutely makes for sensational political theater that their constituents will bear in mind — and that Democrats will secretly applaud.
