I think it is a form of what is known as gallows humor.
We all know that this issue is unlikely to derail her almost certain confirmation to the highest court in our land. If we do not crack jokes about it then there is nothing left to do but weep quietly over the destruction of our Republic.
But, please be assured that I am fully aware of the seriousness of the situatin. I have contacted my senators several times over the last two weeks to register my vehement opposition to this wholly unqualified (and now possibly criminal) individual. I'd bet that at least some of my fellow "jokesters" on this thread are doing the same.
I know and it’s time to clean out Congress.
