It's so bad when you can't work with the president and maintain your integrity so you have to resign. Our government is pure chaos thanks to the Cheeto in Chief.

My H’s grandma who is on a steady diet of Fox News told H yesterday that because we sent all the troops to the border, we stopped the invasion. So, congrats guys. We defeated ISIS and stopped an invasion all in one month. Winning. 🙄 She also apparently watched some panel of young democrats on her local PBS channel (the remote must have been lost) and said she was impressed and like what they were saying. She said she’s “beginning to wonder about this Trump guy”. 😳 H has been telling her for years to only watch local news and not cable news. Maybe if she would listen we could have a liberal on our hands in a couple weeks. 🤣 As long as her local news isn't Sinclair owned

This might make for an interesting discussion. Congresswoman Castor (6 termer from Florida) was put in charge of the revived climate committee. In one of her first decisions, she is not barring congresspeople who have accepted fossil fuel money, saying it may be a violation of first amendment rights (an argument also made by Exxon). Congressman Khanna is saying it’s not a violation of free speech but rather political reform. The article in the tweet provides some more context. Cool, cool, more Dem infighting. I'll be in my bunker.

I mean if you're going to ban anyone who has taken any money from fossil fuel industries, you're banning all Republicans, anyone from TX, WV, MI, OK, etc, and really, probably a lot of people who have ever served in Congress This bit sums up my reasoning:

McConnell blames it on Dems but then he basically kicks the potato back to the GOP House.

Senate has dismissed until Thursday. You know he's going to go to Mar-A-Lago now. The thought of Senators getting to go home and him not going to his dumb club is going to be too much for that baby man.

I want to be as intoxicated as mb3 was last night. I completely forgot about the crappiness that is happening in the world until I woke up today! I was apparently a real treat last night- ran back into our living room, in front of our babysitter, insisting that I had left my phone in the Lyft and H needed to “chase it down”; my phone was in my jeans pocket, as we learned when he called it. 🤦🏽♀️ I also insisted H go get me a cheeseburger at McDonalds and then ate it sitting in bed despite him asking me not to. And the mystery of the gremlin comment is solved because apparently he called me a gremlin regarding the cheeseburger discussion and I growled at him and hid under the covers. 🤣🤣 That vodka man. No Butinas on the rocks for me I think. 🤷🏻♀️

Oh and every text I sent last night was a gif. There are a surprising number of pea and cheeseburger GIFs out there.

So 45 is tossing around the idea of firing the Federal Reserve Chairmen. Senate GOP trying to talk him out of it.

I'm listening to this week's RS pod and Ben Wittes just made an excellent point: there was no logical basis for a Brexit referendum. UKIP failed, repeatedly, to win elections and build coalitions but they somehow annoyed everyone enough that they gained power.
I think that's exactly what the "Freedom Caucus 🙄" have done in the US. They have hijacked our government by being sufficiently annoying.

I was thinking yesterday about the election investigation in NC 9. So much has been going on that the story got buried. I looked up some info and it doesn't look like there has been much progress toward a solution.
It's literally one disaster after another and it's hard to keep up. It also keeps the people dangerously distracted.

Also talking about not holding a primary. WTF
