If she can't dance, impeach the motherfucker

I don't know who Dan Jordan is -- a member of Congress, evidently -- or why he thought posting The Video would devastate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  You've seen it.  She's on a rooftop with a friend, dancing to a Prince song back when she was in college.  Everyone has seen it, which is why she's the most famous member of Congress after Nancy Pelosi.  Several million Americans are making plans to move to the Bronx so they can vote for her.  A beautiful, vibrant, sexy, crazy-intelligent young woman in power clearly scares the trump out of the grayfaces across the aisle, who booed when she stood up to vote for Pelosi as Speaker, and she has yet to introduce a single bill or even speak.  Nice work, Dan, got any other scandalous stuff for us?  Like maybe Ilhan Omar praying?  Wearing her Sharia hat?

It would be hard to come up with a better visual metaphor for the current mess than dancing Democrats and sclerotic Republicans.  For two weeks, their senile "president" has paralyzed the federal government over WALL.  It's  not just national parks and the Smithsonian.  TSA agents tired of working without pay are calling in sick, causing more chaos than usual at the airports.  The National Transportation Safety Board is not investigating accidents.  As this year's virulent flu takes hold, there will be no one at the Centers for Disease Control to track it.  Thousands of federal employees can't pay their bills; Trump thinks that's fine because "most of them are Democrats."  Jose Andres, who set up World Central Kitchen to feed disaster victims all over the world, is offering them free sandwiches at his Capitol Lounge in DC, which the Republicans have turned into another disaster zone.

Mitch McConnell doesn't even attend the White House meetings, and may be in hibernation.  Besides, his party has a bigger crisis to deal with:  Another uppity woman, Rashida Tlaib, used a swear while talking to supporters about the urgent business of getting Putin's puppet out of the White House.  Did you ever?  What a potty-mouth!  Won't somebody think of the children?  She made Kevin McCarthy soil himself amid anguished cries for civility.  Even Dick "Go Fuck Yourself" Cheney's daughter got into it, which means we're in for a golden age of hypocrisy.

And if you can stand a little more, Trump, Pence and the Cabinet Idiots will be getting raises this week.  Eleven grand doesn't mean much to the multiple-yacht crowd, but the symbolism means everything.  I imagine this is why James Mattis was told to leave now instead of the end of February.  Yes, they are that petty.  So dance like you don't give a fat orange fuck.
