A paucity of power caused Tuesday’s absence. With that, we return to one of the most shameful moments in the entire history of the Senate of the United States. Eric Schmitt beclowned himself. What’s more, there’s an aspect to his jack-a-napery that has gone unremarked by the ForProfit Media. But not here. No. We find the things that get lost in the media frenzy.

Moscow Mitch sorta showed up for work today. He voted to confirm a MAGAT judge, but blew off a vote to prevent a filibuster of the bill that would force public servants to either sell their crypto wealth or put it in a blind trust. Thomas Massie forces a vote on impeaching Whiskey Pete. Trash Patel squirms while testifying to the Senate about why the Bureau is now open to beastiality. MAGATS vote to close the Kennedy Center after a federal judge shuts down their efforts to kiss their orange god’s nasty bottom. 

It’s ALLLLLIIIIIIIIVE! Moscow Mitch wheels into the Senate. No one has yet to hear him speak.
