If Republicans retake the House, steel yourself for the New McCarthyism

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It is unbelievably depressing to contemplate the sheer amount of buffoonery that will be unleashed on the country if Republicans take back the House in November.

We will be in for at least two years of congressional stupidity, pointlessness and the endless yammering of Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who is poised to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee, God help us.

Already, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield), whose lust for the speakership has shredded any decency or integrity he might once have possessed, has given us a road map for the bad trip he intends to take us on.

If you thought the Republican-led Benghazi hearings were nakedly political and pointless, just wait for the — ta da! — school board hearings.

1. We've already started down that road.

Look at all the moves in the wake of the Roe v. Wade decision. They're already heading that way. The only way is get a clear majority of the House and Senate (and make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant) to stop this idiocy.

2. We need to campaign against him personally in every district

Play the tape about Putin paying Trump on a loop

3. Agreed we need to keep the house otherwise no good legislation

Will make it to the senate even when we control it.
Question will new legislation from the house be needed for voting rights, codifying roe and gun legislation before senate can vote on it? Or can the legislation the senate currently has be voted in the new year?

4. Clean slate in January. Every bill expires.

The senate can vote on bills, but most will go to the house and die. If the worst happens, the senate will have to focus on judges.

5. Thank you I wasn't quite sure. We better keep the house otherwise

People will be doubly mad when we still can’t get the laws changed.
