Therapy dogs visit stressed Congressional staffers at impeachment hearings

An army of emotional support dogs was on hand Wednesday to help stressed-out Capitol Hill lawmakers and staffers weary after a year of impeachment-related drama.

Hundreds of journalists, policy wonks and politicians including Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) lined up to see the pooches as the first day of public impeachment hearings got underway.

One frazzled Senate staffer was seen clinging to a Japanese Spitz, while a handsome Collie named Remy was only too happy to take Bustos’ mind off collusion and quid pro quo. Blue the Goldendoodle also wore a tie for the special occasion.

For the Rats it would be most fitting that they'd want a therapy Black Mamba (or is that “Mamba of Color?).

To paraphrase PJ O’Rourke, we have A Parliament of First Graders.

the 4-legged Congresscritters are FAR preferable to the 2-legged variety!
A huge improvement.
Let’s retire the paw-deficient models ASAP!

Of Course they’re stressed. They’re trying to force lies into facts.

This is like the Russian Duma circa 1916 when they introduced a dancing bear into their chambers.

They disgust me misusing trained dogs like this. Pigs.

[McGruff]

I’d think circus clowns would be more appropriate.

Self awareness is not a big thing with this bunch, apparently.

They’d find out what stress really is if their twisted sick little coup the past 3 years of undermining and attempting to over-throw Trump were successful.

This isn’t satire? Who would vote for such weaklings.

[wildcard_redneck]

I cannot believe that I live in in an America where adults act like nercvous children and every snowflake is unique.

Instead of support animals why don’t we just all hand them cheap plastic participation trophies for validation like they have been getting their entire lives.

First the bearded lady, now the trained dogs.

IT IS THE CIRCUS !!!!

[fwdude]

What?! No crayons and coloring books?

[saintgermaine]

I guess being stupid can result in a certain amount of stress.

[TianaHighrider]

Pure PHOTO OP!
Just to make the lynching squad appear ‘likable’ by the unknowing.

Guess they believe people will say,
“Petting doggies, how cute! They can’t be bad. Bad people don’t pet dogs...Trump doesn’t have a dog...hmmm”.

Laf. What a crock. Hope they get bit.

Hundreds of journalists, policy wonks and politicians including Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) lined up to see the dogs as the first day of public impeachment hearings got underway.

Now all they need is ponies, and it will be perfect and complete.

No joke. I bet Schiff is having Impeachment Participation Trophies made even as we speak. What color RIBBON do they wear to show their Impeachment support??
