I am watching C-SPAN coverage of the debate about Meadows contempt.

[Atticus]

For those unable to watch, let me give you a description of a screen featuring Jordan screaming at the podium and Representatives Banks and Taylor-Greene sitting behind him: picture a trio of mutant vipers that have just slithered out of a brim-full septic tank.

They writhe compulsively each time a truth is told and try mightily to fling some of the filth that encases them onto anyone near.

That's the visual. I can't tell you what they said because---of course---I had the audio on mute.

1. I was going to give you credit for having a better nervous system...

Than I do - you still do because you watched them. Mute: completely understand

[madamesilverspurs]

2. It's rather remarkable

that the GOPers are putting their worst feet forward. Repeatedly, loudly, each one trying to out-embarrass the others. Sniveling and thin-skinned, a cluster of petulant inadequacy. We might be hearing the death rattle of the republican party.

5. A long-overdue death rattle . .

But bring it the fuck ON!

[electric_blue68]

3. Yup Jim Jordon's 🙄 going on, and on, and... MTG in the background...

[True Blue American]

4. Indiana Congressman says he was maligned by Steny Hoyer! Ruling?

Telling the truth is not maligning!

[AngryOldDem]

6. Watching it now.

Oh my God…Jim Banks saying that the committee has no interest in preventing another Jan. 6. Well, Jim what in the fuck are you and your party doing to prevent it?

What alternate universe are they living in?

[CottonBear]

8. The universe that only gets "news" from Fox & Facebook. NT

7. Thanks for taking one for the DU team.

Traitor-Greene is from my state. She is odious and evil.

[madamesilverspurs]

9. I feel your pain.

Boebert is from my state. She might get primaried, but given the constituency that elected her she could be replaced by someone just as morally hollow but with better social skills.

[CottonBear]

10. Doh! I am so sorry. I feel your pain.

My odious, MAGAT Congressman, Jody Hice ( R-GA) is running for GA Secretary of State, so he can overthrow our state electors in 2024.

[Cha]

11. I'm not watching but

that sounds appropriately descriptive!
