      This was an aspirational moment. Kids can see that a very garden variety dumbshit can be elected to Congress. It’s within everyone’s reach.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1100826539543924737?s=21 …

      It's part of the glory of American democracy that even the "dumb as dirt" class has representation in Congress.

          This guy exceeded all expectations for the fucking idiocy that rises to the top in the modern Republican Party.

          IDK I could kind of do without this. We’re only as smart as the leaders we elect.

          Make note to the authorities to get a warrant from a sitting judge to search the boxes for which a sitting judge already issued a warrant for searching. My good sir.

          We were informed during the Carswell hearings in the 70s that "mediocre people... are entitled to a little representation, aren't they?" Too bad they have more representation than the rest of us.
