SATIRE Republican Senators Don Trusty Googly-Eye Glasses In Order To Get Some Sleep During Impeachment Trial

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Faced with the prospect of another drawn-out day of listening to fellow congresspeople drone on and on about impeachment, Republican senators donned their trusty googly-eye glasses in order to get a little shuteye.

Senator Mitch McConnell distributed the glasses as the trial was called to order, letting the other Republican senators know that they could catch a solid eight hours of sleep behind the clever disguise.

"Throw these bad boys on, and you'll look super interested -- maybe even a little too interested," a yawning McConnell said as he handed a pair to Ted Cruz. The previous day, Cruz had simply watched The Princess Bride on his phone for the duration of the trial but was caught by Democrats, who hate Princess Bride and everything else good in this world.

The senators got out their My Pillows and got ready for a solid few hours of sleep. They dreamed about guns, shooting guns, and going to Bass Pro Shop and buying more guns, which ended up being more productive than the impeachment trial.

"Thanks, Mitch!" they all said during a recess as they dropped their glasses into a bin for recycling.

Democrats, for their part, donned their trusty "angry eyes" to show just how outraged they were about President Trump's phone call that everyone else agrees was beautiful and perfect.

I can't really blame them. If somebody would post their picture in article, that would be great.

Those are more ogly-eyes, not googly-eyes.

Just sayin’.

Funny how the human mind can see something, and yet ignore it.

For instance... the first word in the TITLE.

It did fool me. I thought they really did this. It would have been a hilarious commentary on such a democrat travesty.

There are three dates in the next 12 months to which I’m really looking forward — they are Marxist Regressive head explosion events:

• Feb 04, 2020 PDJT gives his State of the Union address

• Nov 03, 2020 PDJT is reelected as the 45th POTUS

• Jan 20, 2021 PDJT is sworn in for his second term

I am smiling. I am so glad you took that in the spirit it was meant.

Everyone has it happen to them. Some time or another.

Great Oogally Moogally!

Actually , the phrase is "great googly-moogly"

"interjection, similar to "great Caesar's ghost" and "jumpin' Jehosaphat," this nonsense phrase can be heard in the song "Goin' Down Slow" by Howlin Wolf, and in Frank Zappa's song "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow."

Also used in the Snickers K. C. Chefs Super Bowl Commercial (1996)
