I wonder if they really think it's funny

Happened to flip by a couple of minutes of Tapper's show on CNN to get the vibe. It was very fake, with everyone yucking it up at how "wild" the repug house is. Can you believe this? Can you believe that? And of course, it all means nothing because, according to them no one will be held accountable. Hysterical.

Tapper's eyes were sparkling and I haven't seen him this excited since Biden withdrew from Afghanistan and he sensed blood.

They hate America, they hate democracy and government, so they make a mockery of it. They think being a loud, disruptive, asshole is funny.

So no biggie if Republicans go on a rampage to destroy those programs. Going to be wild! Then they'll figure out a way to "both sides" the resultant chaos, and sell even more ads. Don't worry about Jake and his pals; they'll be fine.

I got his number long ago. Few things excite him more than teachers' unions (if he can bash them) or any change both sides whatever no matter how contrived. But yeah, they should be talking about social spending cuts, and the fact that they aren't is very telling.
