Rub-a-dub-dub. Good grub. Yay, god! Let's eat!
Republicans have hit rock bottom

Republican's are far from hitting rock bottom.
IMHO, they will hit rock bottom only after publicly flogging a white woman on stage at their convention who has had a suspicious mis-carriage.
Astoundingly, it is not inconceivable that they would do that.

LOL!!! Missus is always chastising me for eating too fast. I only eat fast enough that the last bite isn't stone cold, as hers is.......

Mine's exactly the opposite.
I need to let my dinner cool a bit, before eating.
My wife prefers it close to the temperature found on the surface of the Sun.

Just last night I read the part of Tom Sawyer where where is asked to name any two of the disciples, and he responds with "David and Goliath"

You'd also think she had some understanding of the standards of the profession...

She does. She dresses well. And those shapely little legs in cowgirl boots got her out of truck stops and into a cushy job. A fine example of not needing a conventional education when you understand people.

Speaker McCarthy defaults — on his promises
The IOUs Kevin McCarthy gave out to win the speakership are now coming due — and it appears the poor guy is going to default.
The California Republican promised right-wing holdouts that he would deliver a budget that balances within 10 years. But he also promised not to touch Social Security and Medicare. Republicans are likewise committed not to allow cuts to defense spending and veterans’ pensions, nor to allow the Trump tax cuts to lapse.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office ran the numbers on those promises at Democrats’ request, and the results are in. To keep all those pledges, Republicans would literally have to eliminate everything — everything — else the government does. No more Homeland Security, no more Border Patrol or FBI, no more Coast Guard, air traffic control or federal funds for education or highways, no agricultural programs, no housing, food or disaster assistance, no cancer research or veterans’ health care, no diplomacy or space exploration, no courts — and no Congress.
Defund the police? This is defund America. Even then, Republicans would still be in the red after 10 years.
Unsurprisingly, McCarthy’s lieutenants are attempting some rapid backtracking. House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Tex.) said this week that the 10-year balanced budget is now merely an “aspirational” target — much like my diet. He’s instead touting a separate House GOP proposal to set 2024 spending at 2022 levels, which would require smaller (though still severe) cuts but wouldn’t come close to balancing the budget.

the GQP are still working at finding their bottom:
They seemed to be being taken seriously! No one is laughing at them?
