Oh. “Deem and pass”. I like the way they spell it over on Ace of Spades HQ: “DemonPass”.

Sort of the political equivalent of a “Hail Mary” play. The offensive team quarterback throws the ball in the air, with no particular target, and hopes one of his own snags the ball somewhere in the end zone.

Knockdowns, interceptions, a totally bad aim to where NOBODY could have caught the ball, or even getting called for a penalty for some action nowhere near the quarterback, any one of these could louse up the execution.

But when it works, the turnaround is spectacular.

Our job is to make sure it doesn’t work. The protest jamming of the Capitol switchboard today is one of those tactics.
