Have you noticed that so many of the Republican Party problems are tied up with water right now? The Strait of Hormuz, nitrogen in the drinking water in Iowa, the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, the push to give AI compnies all our collectively owned water for them to cool their plants without regard to consequences.

The newest Republican problem with water is that they are pissing themselves when they look at polls. Especially now that Trump is being exposed as a clown and a loser by his own party.  (Brilliant idea to primary sitting congress members there DJT!)

Of course they have no solutions for their problems. They never have answers. They start problems and eventually Democrats must come in and bail the country out. The best solution is to never put them in office again so when can make progress and keep it.

Happy 250th next week, America. Since Republicans are currently in charge, I think we can expect a celebration muted by hate and extremism. But try to enjoy anyway. (7 minutes):
