GOP Monkeyhouse to America: "No, We Really CAN'T Govern. Tell The Kenyan Usurper to Act Alone"

[TrollBuster9090]

This is incredible. If the Democrats can't fit THIS GOP clusterf--k into the narrative that the GOP is incapable of governing the country, and is only good at sitting in a tree and throwing feces at the people who are TRYING to govern it, they DESERVE to lose in November.

They make a fuss about the border crisis of undocumented central american children for weeks. President Obama asks for $3 billion in emergency funds to deal with it (approximately 0.1% of the budget). The Democratic Senate whittles it down to a bi-partisan $2 billion spending bill. Fair enough.

What does the House GOP do? The best Boenher can do is cobble together a pathetic and symbolic $0.5 billion bill that is almost entirely spending on 'Border Security,' so that his House members can at least go home and say they tried to increase border security. Then he finds out that this insane asylum he calls a caucus can't even agree to pass THAT.

So, instead, they hold a vote to sue the President for 'doing too many things on his own,' then send him a statement TELLING HIM TO DEAL WITH THE BORDER CRISIS ON HIS OWN, and then piss off like greased lightning for a five week vacation.

"There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action, to secure our borders and ensure these children are returned swiftly and safely to their countries." --Statement from House GOP

1. The GOP is thankfully inept at kindling fascism also.

[gratuitous]

2. The House Republicans authorize Boehner to sue the President

The basis of the suit is apparently because of executive action taken by the President, delaying implementation of a program those same House Republicans have voted to kill 50 times. Now, unable to bring a bill to the House floor for a vote because Sen. Ted Cruz didn't like it, Boehner says that the bill is superfluous because the President should be doing stuff. Boehner doesn't say what stuff the President should be doing, for some reason. But if Boehner doesn't like it, he'll probably sue about that, too.

The popular media covers all of this as if it makes a lick of sense, but they get all bent out of shape because Lois Lerner called House Republicans a bunch of crazies and assholes.

4. They wre teeing up grounds for impeachment with

these two stunts. The suit is to establish precedent and the bill will be a gotcha to say he broke law.

3. Not only are they incapable of governing they are also hypocrits.
