Highlights: The U.S. government stands as a mockery to its intentions, and the disease that was formerly in the White House now runs wild in Congress.
When Trump was president, we focused on the disease in one human. Now, we have to deal with the likes of George Santos running down the hallway screaming at imaginary foes.
House Republicans have apparently lashed themselves to the mooring of their sinking ship, floundering in a storm of their own making. They are not unlike toddlers sloshing back and forth in the bathtub and crying about the results.
The rambunctious, impetuous and chronically underachieving Republicans, eager to blame everyone else for everything while accepting responsibility for nothing, are busy destroying themselves in public for at least the third time since they took over the House barely nine months ago.
Mooring is also the ropes or chains you use to attach your boat to the dock so if you tie yourself to then you’re going down with the boat.
A mooring is an anchor (or giant block) with a line attached to a floating thing. You grab the floating thing and tie your ‘mooring line’ to it and then you are ‘moored’. If you were at a dock you could use the same rope and it would be called a ‘dock line’ and then you are ‘docked’
Yes, nomenclature is a pain in the ass.
