Agreed: Swamp “Idiocy” Is Bipartisan

Is it true “hardly anyone will notice” if an already stay-at home gov’t shuts down & the eviction of a House Speaker won’t change much since 8 crazies on both sides of the aisle (16 in all) are calling most policy shots anyway?

As WSJ columnist Dan Henninger waxed, “Let’s make [federal workers’] absence from Washington permanent … Guess what? [DC’s bureaucratic offices are already empty]. Of the nearly 300,000 federal workers in Washington, most aren’t bothering to show up these days at those great stone buildings that people think of as ‘Washington.’” Meanwhile, fellow columnist Gerard Baker reminded us that “Jamaal Bowman & Matt Gaetz Are Alarmingly Similar” in that, though on opposite sides, “both play the same game of extremism & self-promotion.” Indeed, the radicals who supposedly hate one another TEAMED UP to narrowly help get rid of Speaker McCarthy whom they mutually despise BECAUSE HE WORKED WITH POLITICAL OPPONENTS TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. But, hey, doesn’t that irrational if artful animus also describe the 7 other extreme Republicans (The Hardest of the Hard Right) & 7 other extreme Democrats (The Death Squad) that are running riot over Congress?

Exactly how many times have we heard news reports, including by the WSJ, about how a“mainstream” DC politician (all the way up to POTUS) made a policy vote or decision based on “fear” that either or both of those mini-minority groups would be ”unhappy” with them? As Mr. Baker lamented: There’s now "abundant evidence that both parties are in thrall to extremists with identical aspirations – to achieve absolutely nothing except the satisfaction of their own self-promotion. The idiocy, at least, is bipartisan.”
