Well, having arrived at the Jimmy Comer is hiding under the bed from Steve Doocy because he cant take the heat on Fox n Fiendz stage of the shampeachment charade, House Republicans figured the time was ripe to link arms and follow Kentuckys kookiest kakistocrat off the kliff. Er, cliff, rather.
(As ever, this shit makes more sense with links: https://showercapblog.com/wow-santas-not-fucking-around-with-that-naughty-list-this-year/)
Yes, even Ken Buck, author of such brave n principled op-eds as My fellow Republicans: One disgraceful impeachment doesnt deserve another, and When I said an election denier shouldnt be Speaker of the House, obviously that only applied to election deniers who dont wear jackets. And used to coach wrestling. And bellow indignantly about other folks subpoenas after defying their own.
And sure, Chuck Grassley admits theres no evidence of wrongdoing on President Bidens part, but that hardly matters, since the House majority feels no particular obligation to name the alleged crimes theyre investigating. Anyway, as Troy Nehls reminds us, a Republican Congressman is first and foremost a low-level Trump campaign staffer, and that organization is not exactly world-renowned for its exacting standards.
Shoot, theyll draft any defective dumbass disposed to defend a declining dotards dreams of dictatorship. Even so, when it comes autocrat ass-kissing, you have to get up pretty early to beat JD Vance to the front of the line.
Dissent remains verboten, of course. Ohio Republicans fear their preferred candidate in the crucial 9th congressional district, Craig Riedel, can no longer win his primary against pudding-brained valor thief J.R. Majewski, who famously painted a racist game show host on his lawn, now that voters know Craig once referred to said game show host as arrogant. Its totally not a cult, though.
Incidentally, its delightful to see Jack Smith so prepared for Off-Brand Orbáns bullshit legal stall tactics. Had allllllll the paperwork for that expedited presidential immunity appeal ready tgo, didnt he? Oh, um, actually, we were hoping youd give our extremely serious, totally vindicating appeal a real thorough going-over before exonerating our client. Take all the time you need. Till, say, next November?
Iowa Republicans scrambled to begin construction of a wall along the states southern border, desperate to stave off the caravan of book-burning Florida retirees that launched at the invitation of one Casey DeSantis, who correctly surmised her husband can only hope to prevail in next months caucuses if theres nobody at the door checking IDs.
In clear violation of the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment, CNN hosted a town hall with shrieking fascist dorkwad Vivek Ramaswamy, likely as a mad science experiment designed to observe the effects of the batshittiest January 6th conspiracy theories when delivered by the most irritating man alive.
Ramaswamys been palling around Iowa with Steve Too Racist for the Trump-Era GOP King, by the way, and I certainly advise all Haley precinct captains to update their rabies vaccine before approaching any hissing Vivek unviables on caucus night.
Its hard to believe that before Donald Trump came along, a sex scandal involving a credible rape allegation was enough to end ones career in Republican politics; nowadays, young MAGA apparatchiks understand YOU GOT TO MONETIZE THAT SHIT. And I know that $2 million sounds like a lot to make the Florida GOPs Christian Ziegler problem go away, but remember, its gotta be split three ways ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
In the waning days of the Fall of the Turd Reich, seems a binder filled with highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing, smuggled, perhaps, out of the White House up Mark Meadows cavernous ass, alongside Kim Jong-uns love notes and Donnie One-Terms favorite Churchill bust.
(While were on the subject, somebody probably better frisk our ol pal Willard on his way out of the Senate, lest we lose track of those binders full o women.)
This holiday season, launch a surprise counteroffensive in the War on Xmas with the Mugshot Suit Trading Card! For just four thousand, six hundred American dollars, you can own a tiny chunk of the ill-fitting, ketchup-spattered suit Tangerine Idi Amin wore to his arrest at the Fulton County Jail, the perfect gift for any MAGA rube in your life who somehow hasnt yet overdosed on ivermectin.
Paul Ryan derided Fat Q*bert as an authoritarian narcissist and not a conservative who couldnt even steal health care from millions of Americans with control of both houses of Congress who Ryan will of course vote for in 2024 because what do you expect from me, courage? Principles? Im Paul freakin Ryan for pitys sake!
Rudy Giuliani stepped up lobbying efforts to bring his character back in any forthcoming Borat sequels, now that his $148 million defamation bill finally arrived in the mail. Hey, if that doesnt work out, I hear Four Seasons Total Landscaping is hiring.
Hmmm
Ted Cruz seems curiously reticent to claim credit for the world he worked so hard to build, where his constituents have to flee their home state to exercise their fundamental human rights, wonder what thats about?
All of Elon Musks troublesre over, now that hes not only restored Alex Jones Xwitter account, but appointed him head of quality control at Tesla. Theyve recalled nearly two million cars to install a new and improved autopilot feature, which neatly deposits you right on the doorstep of the nearest grieving Sandy Hook family, leaving you free to rehearse your diatribe about false flags and crisis actors!
I beg your forgiveness if the tear streaks rendered this weeks blog difficult to read; like so many of you, I was simply overwhelmed by the exquisite contrition expressed in the apology notes composed by confessed seditionists Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro. If I may be so bold, allow me to suggest that appointing Powell poet laureate could be precisely the sort of unifying gesture needed to heal this divided nations broken soul.
Ok, folks, I think weve all earned a holiday break. Heads up, there will be NO BLOG next week, but if you want to leave beer n cookies out for Santa Cap, you can donate at this link, now accepting PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App! https://showercapblog.com/buy-cap-beer/

Oh, and if you see somebody drunkenly stumbling through your neighborhood, wailing HES WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE, dont worry, thats just Megyn Kelly, the vanll be by in a minute to pick her up.
