I KNOW it’s not acceptable to appreciate (or even reference) Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged,” but we are seeing the kernel of Rand’s philosophical truth in real life action with this rag-tag Republican Party.   

🔺Basically, you get what you put up with (‘sanction’ as she termed it).🔺

Somewhere along the way over the past couple of decades, we Americans have put up with - accepted - sanctioned - complete dereliction of their sworn duty from GOP Members of Congress.  And, by not holding Jan6 MOC insurrectionists accountable for their complicity, we are also sanctioning their sedition.

Dammit!  These ELECTED PUBLIC SERVANTS have the power and responsibility for the public purse - yet time after time we come down to the wire of this  STUPID CR fight. 

Plainly put - they don’t have another damn thing to do in their position that is as important as funding the Gov’t, yet they diddle around with busy work on the taxpayers’ dime. 

So why the hell do we put up with it?
