Dems are so crazy they often make the Republicans look good, which is no small feat. The last Republican congress was a disgrace.

This is definitely going to be a brutal political year.

**************

Yes it will be. This will take Washington to a whole new level of dysfunctionality, bickering and political retribution.

These are radical and unreasonable people with whom there can be no compromise or rational coexistence. They are a clear and present danger to a stable democratic society that used to settle its political differences through the election system. That is no longer the case. You are correct; this nonsense is driving the nation toward a very dangerous place.

The kakistocrats are traitors to the United States of America.

You and I aren’t changing anything. Unless one of us is secretly Abraham Lincoln or George Washington.

Nothing is going to happen over the next two years. No one has control. The best course to take is sit back and enjoy the show.

There are clowns all over the place.

That dog won’t hunt. Americans are a one syllable people. Three is their absolute limit.

I like my term: racist, regressive fascists.

Perhaps that label on her office door should be written with felt tipped marker on masking tape, just to show how temporary her tenure will be.

Kakistocracy is replaced by Ineptocracy

kak•is•toc•ra•cy Kakistocracy n. pl. kak•is•toc•ra•cies Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’ra-cy) A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

I believe the word “caca” comes from the Greek “kakos” for “bad.”

Hmmm....maybe I was channeling a Greek scholar rather than my inner 3-year old as I assumed!

Etymology is one of my favorite pasttimes. Yes, there are some surprising derivations out there.
