Cause for disgust

Using an old movie line, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” I’m not mad at the inhabitant of the White House. He long ago revealed his true colors. It’s disgust I feel.

I’m mad at the GOP members of Congress – both Senate and House. I’ve lived under 14 presidents. Never before have we seen such a sorry bunch as now serve under the Capital dome. There isn’t enough spine in any of them to stand erect unaided.

In the Senate, Mitch McConnell has sold his soul to become obscenely wealthy at taxpayer expense. He clearly cares nothing about the country or the Constitution he’s sworn to serve. The rest of the GOP sycophants in the Senate should buy case lots of lip balm for all the kissing they’ve done of a certain posterior.

The House isn’t much better. Case in point – on the 13th and 14th of July a Twitter storm of racist rhetoric explodes from the White House. Only four members of the GOP had the intestinal fortitude to vote in favor of censoring Trump on this obscene behavior.

This congressional kakistocracy of ineptitude and spinelessness must end. Senator John McCain is spinning in his grave.
