Mars Attacks; Republicans sleep in

 


Sorry … I know it’s more complicated than *Republicans Diddle while Noem burns* … but come on! Fiddle/Diddle … Rome/Noem? I’m only human….

Republican Members of the House are AWOL because if they come into work, they’ll either have to do hard things, or bow down to the god of war, who is known to be an inconstant lover.

House Republicans are AWOL while the executive branch has gathered at the Temple of Mars[1] to declare war on select U.S. cities … fabricating crisis scenarios, trumped up emergencies, and representing normal U.S. citizens as enemies … much as they’ve represented normal journalists and elected officials for years. Now with guns on American streets.

Seriously: How bad does it have to get before House Republicans show up for work again — the work so carefully laid out for them in Article I of the U.S. Constitution?  

If they — House Republicans — fail, there’s no way this doesn’t end in tears … for them and for everyone.

[1] The Temple of Mars Ultor was erected by Emperor Augustus, dedicated to Mars in his role as “the Avenger” (Ultor). Augustus said of the temple, "I have fashioned this to lead the citizens to require me, while I live, and the rulers of later times as well, to attain the standard set by those great men of old." So … make Rome great again…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Mars_Ultor
