The Mental Defective League, in formation

Getting to be a U.S. Senator or Representative is really a “big ‘Biden’ deal” (she said euphemistically). (Further explanation available upon request.) 😉  Anyway, I think we’d all agree on what kind of accomplishment that is.

As a senator or representative, one has influence and decision-making power, fame/notoriety, somewhat of a fortune (that’s usually, but not always, a prerequisite for even getting that far up in the pecking-order), a top-notch education (Harvard/Yale/Oxford/etc.), … in other words, not only does one enjoy all these rare “luxuries,” one is also held to a higher standard, in the eyes of the masses, based on such.  In a normal world, said persons are expected to act commensurate with those kinds of lofty accomplishments.

These days, the way I see it, barring a few congresspeople, D.C. is loaded up with (yes, I’ll say it) “clowns.”  Like so many unruly contrary children or patients in an insane asylum (The Mental Defective League, in formation a la Jack Nicholson in Cuckoo’s Nest), they can’t all even agree that water is wet.  For crying out loud. 😲

Question(s): Is this blatant dysfunction what American politics has come to?  Am I just blowing off some steam here (yes, I am) and need to get it off my chest?  Are you just as disappointed in our law-makers as I am?  Shouldn’t we expect more from such powerful, influential, supposedly mature people?  WTF’s going on??

Go ahead, get it off your chest too.  Tell me how you feel about the state of affairs in D.C.

Thanks for posting and recommending.
