Yanno, seriously, this is getting a little out of hand, this Tea Party, Dumbfuckistan problem

It started out silly.

Tricorner hats with teabags on the fringe and political conventions.

We had crazies with yellow snake flags and six shooters in thigh holsters at political rallies with actual candidates within shooting range.

We had crazies doing stunt filibusters in the Senate.

We have the Fucking Speaker of the Fucking House inviting a man who has NEVER seen a possible war he didn't want the US to fight for him to speak to our Congress. Without telling the White House. Two weeks before the Israeli Prime Minister was hoping to be reelected.

Now we have some pipsqueak fucking looney from some backwater part of Dumbfuckistan elected by the ill informed haters from Dumb Fuck Nation going over the head of the White House and the entire diplomatic apparatus of the United States and showing to the entire world just how fucking stupid is the fringe right of this country.

What is out of hand is just how far these motherfuckers will go in undercutting everything in their path as the run toward . . . . . what, exactly?

I'll tell you what that "what" is.

It is NOTHING. These fuckers don't really have ANY agenda apart from being more and more outrageous in entertaining the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging Dumbfuckistanians who elected them to office.

Where and how does this even end? The scary bit is that they're growing in number in the OFFICIAL halls of government.

Arkansas can now be referred to or known as "Duggarstan", delivered us the right honorable Jr. Senator Tom Cotten, to stand with Cruz from Texastan.

Downright damned frustrating as all hell!!!

So it will continually spiral out of control. With 1/3 of the country cheering it on. While voters remain apathetic. While the majority of the country refuses to take the required steps. Odds are we end up with a Republican president or a Corporate one.

pay the piper for a change. No apologies to them for calling a spade a spade. An investigation on who is behind all this and mark my words, there is money behind it then bring the hammer down on them for trying to undermine the executive branch of the government.

It's a political demolition derby to see who can destroy the greatest number of regulations and laws to achieve total dysfunction at the federal level.

They've found a way to kill the federal government without having to wait until it shrinks enough to drown it.

The wingularity never actually arrives, like a hyperbola approaching its asymptote it just gets closer and closer forever and ever amen.

http://www.balloon-juice.com/balloon-juice-lexicon-q-z/

Wingularity, the- the point at which the insanity from the far right and those controlling the Republican Party [continues] to grow exponentially until it reaches an unsustainable weight and collapses upon itself. This is also known as the Purity Spiral, wherein the density of wingnut increases compared to mainstream conservatives to the point of pure wingnut. As the ratio rises, this creates a phenomenon wherein no logic or sanity can penetrate or escape. When rightwing argument has become completely inaccessible to the uninitiated, it has reached the Wingularity. Coined by commenters JM and Joe K.

they want a civil war here and will keep pushing until they get it.

I am absolutely convinced that the TP are the sovereign citizens, only in suits and roaming freely in the hall of our legislative body. The beatings will continue until WE make it stop.

Not you specifically, but all of us in general. That's what we need to be asking ourselves. Look at the districts/states these mouth breathing idiots are in and form a workable plan.

We need to be sabotaging their plans for our country, not the other way around.

The demonization of public governance includes the Tea Party decrying taxation in an effort to "starve the beast" coupled with dumbfuck behavior on the part of elected officials to prove their fallacious point. That corporations are by definition better for us than government.

It will take someone a lot of work to convince me I am wrong.

At some point the lies and propaganda will elect one of these bufoons to the presidency.

Then we'll see what all the entertainment was for.

The U.S. will be the first, second and only nation to use nuclear weapons.
