It is difficult to feel bad for Elongated Mush. He spent three hundred million dollars on electing a convicted felon and all he got was that "Dark Maga Hat." Well, the hat and he briefly gained access to every American's personal data. Now that he's on the outs with the Dear Leader, he'll have to go back to blowing up rockets and trying to sell them fancy electric cars that nobody wants. Which will probably be fine, unless Dear Leader follows through on his threats to deport him.
The late, great Martin Mull once suggested that, "Hollywood is like high school with money." If this is true, taking this notion and stretching it to fit over the thunderdome called Washington D.C. might suggest that our nation's capital is like Ridgemont High. This might explain the extreme cliquishness and the seemingly impossible depravity that goes on during the business of trying to run a country. Leaving aside for a moment the plight of the poor little rich boy who couldn't buy himself a president, we find Thomas Massie and Brian Fitzpatrick. If you don't recognize those names, they should be remembered as the two Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted against the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill." Laura Loomer, the crazy girl who would really like to be the First Mistress was quick to throw out the threat: “Good luck against President Trump’s wrath and his current $1.4 billion 2026 war chest,” she posted without any sense of irony on the site formerly known as Twitter.
And good luck getting a date to the prom.
Even though the bill passed and was signed into law, these two gentlemen will most likely lose their jobs for voting the way they felt their constituents would want them to. That's the "representative" part. Unfortunately that is not how things are getting done in Washington D.C. these days. The big fat version of James Spader in Pretty In Pink runs things and he won't have anyone messing up his version of the way things would be.
Especially not public opinion. Two thirds of those polled had an unfavorable view of the "BBB," in spite of all the lies and obfuscation surrounding its contents.
All of which makes you think that maybe it's a time for a change in Washington. Which is exactly what (checks notes) a certain South African billionaire is suggesting. Yes, Elongated Mush is now suggesting that he will spend his next hundred million dollars creating a new party. His newly minted "America Party" is his answer to the bully who kicked him to the curb. So, will it be the pasty nerd with exploding rockets or the adjudicated rapist? The Democrats had better find their own billionaire sociopath to front their party if they want to keep up.
