20. Har de har, they have to move out of their big offices and cut back on staff
The majority gets most of the allocation for staff so the Publicans have had to let most of their Hitler Youth go. And they have to move out of their opulent offices into the equivalent of a Motel 6 room. Nyuck nyuck.

We're trying to get as many Dems as possible to our county commissioners' swearing in this evening. We picked up a bunch of seats and are now the minority by only 13-12. We're making progress!

126. Senator McConnel (R) talking about urgent need to 'reform' Social Security
Sorry Mitch, gutting Social Security was on the GOP lapdog Senate's agenda because it was on the list of things to do that Junior gave you. Scurry along now, we'll call you in the unlikely event anyone wants to know what you want.

What a weenie! Now he's saying that the only slightly relevant Dow Jones Industrial has been doing great (worst performance ever over Junior's six years) because of the tax cuts for rich people. The tax cuts didn't even meet the laughably low expectations Junior characteristically set.
