I know I mentioned this yesterday, but you really have to see all of this to truly appreciate the unctuous sycophany of these Republicans. Honestly, it’s disturbing. Very disturbing:
This Mike Pence "prayer" of thanks to Trump is excruciatingly, stomach-churningly uncomfortable to watch. The ritual submission and exaltation is nearly pornographic. This is not America. pic.twitter.com/FN6y2X2K73— Steve Silberman (@stevesilberman) December 20, 2017

If you want to see them patting each other on the back, this little self-love fest happened today. I especially enjoyed the North Dakota congresswoman who said that an extra $1600.00 is life changing for average Americans and then went on to talk about how Orrin Hatch had everyone in tears yesterday with his obsequious paean to Donald Trump.
This toady phenomenon is really starting to creep me out. I understand the cynical manipulation of Trump’s monumental juvenile ego by foreign leaders. But these people are supposedly representing a co-equal branch of the US government. I’ve never ever seen this level of groveling from cabinet members, Senators and Congressional representatives before. It’s bizarre and grotesque.
It’s the holiday season and if you’d like to drop a little something in the Hullabaloo Christmas stocking it would be much appreciated. As always I’m immensely grateful for all of you who drop by to read this creaky old blog. It’s what keeps me going.
Happy Hollandaise everyone! Keep the faith.
