Broken News

Speaking For Those Who Should Not Speak

October 24, 2023

Rep. Jim Jordan, the flesh-eating-bacterium of Congress, finally conceded defeat after losing vote after vote after vote, each defeat more humiliating than the last. Given the recent demise of Jordan and likely any hope of the Fascist Party finding a suitable, or even worthless (as is their wont) replacement for the hapless Kevin McQarthy, it is clear that some new blood is called for as the next Speaker of the House.

Speaking of blood, the heated fracas almost came to fisticuffs as Ratpublicans met privately to put the final nail in Jim Jordan’s speakership coffin. They are now at their half-wit’s end as they scrape the bottom of the barrel of monkeys in search of their next soon-to-be-ex-speaker. The barrel is filled nearly to the brim with idiots and assholes who went on the record on January 6, 2021 objecting to the certification of the completely legitimate results of the landslide bashing of Donald “World’s Most Offensive Defendant” Trump by Joe Biden.

While Democrat Hakim Jeffries would likely be an exemplary speaker, there is no chance that the MAGAts will tolerate any kind of compromise, bipartisanship or aptitude of any kind.

As If We Needed More Proof…

The reliably dimwitted fascist EmptyG admitted that her caucus is broken. Unsurprisingly, her reasoning was as disgraceful as it was pathetic. The reason Marge gave for the sorry state of her party was “because Republicans (her word, not mine) worked with Democrats.” And there you have it in a nutjob…I mean nutshell. The problem with the Chaos Caucus is that some of them done went and acted like adults interested in doing democracy stuff.

Not one of the past dozen or so Ratpublican speakers, nor all of them combined, could deign to shine Nancy Pelosi’s pumps. They know it, but they have no idea what to do about it. It is entirely possible that they don’t even care. As it now stands, a dozen or so back-benchers are throwing their hats (soon to be towels) into the ring in a desperate move to stop looking like complete incompetents. It’s not going to work.

So, while Team Trump scurries back to the drooling board to come up with a warm body, it's time to think outside the idiot box. To this end, it is time for a completely neutral, consistently unopinionated citizen to enter the fray. Someone who knows a legitimate fucking election when they see one. Someone who is neither racist, fascist or mentally crippled. Someone who can unify Congress and the nation-at-large. As you probably know, there is no requirement that a Speaker of the House be a member of the House, or even in government.

Vote for me and I’ll set you free!

And so, it is with a heavy hand that I announce my candidacy for Speaker of the House. Please be sure to threaten your member of Congress, their families and random people on the street where you live in order to drag me across the finish line so we can keep our government harming…I mean, humming.
