If America were a camel and Republican lies were straws, the camel would be in traction right now. Calling for a bedpan.
Kevin McCarthy recently said that Democrats do not believe in the Rule of Law. From which we might infer that he thinks Republicans do.
But we'd be wrong to infer that. Kevin doesn't really think within the paradigm we think thinking works. He hails magic carpets like an escaping hostage - standing in the vehicle's path waving his gag rag.
An indication of how the Republican party thinks is that the closest McCarthy came to tanking his political career was the one time he told the truth. In defense of some accusation that they had dropped the ball, he boasted that the Benghazi hearings were predicated on Republicans' desire to bring down Hillary. He was quite proud of that strateegery.
But he's learned his lesson. This magic carpet is straight from the Goebbels playbook. "Accuse the other of that which you are guilty." But the thing about magic carpets is they are the stuff of dreams. You wake up and they go poof!
And there you are on the steps of the Capitol in your socks and boxers, a dozen microphones coming at your face like a Space Force of mini Bezos' rockets or a swarm of phallic shaped murder hornets, realizing you left your dog whistle under the pillow you got free from the MyPillow guy in exchange for a plug at your next press conference.
And the hornets are buzzing questions like:
Why won't your party support security funding?
Who do you think will be the next person in trump's orbit to be arrested?
Do you think Flynn should have been pardoned?
Do you think Roger Stone should have been pardoned?
Do you think Manafort should have been pardoned?
Do you think Weisselberg will flip?
Do you think Barrack will flip?
What do you think the investigation into the January 6th attack on the Capitol will discover about Republican leaders' involvement?
And you're looking up at the sky for a magic carpet or praying mantis, but all you see are drones taking pictures of the holes in your socks.
