Can we get lie detectors in every Congressional office? Just asking for a friend

 To Republicans in this era, there doesn't seem to be a problem with either hypocrisy or blatant stupidity.

In the House, for example, Kentucky Misrepresentative James Combover dissed a Democratic colleague by calling him a "Smurf". Ok, so Comer probably has seen either the movies, read the graphic novels, or had seen the cartoons in the 80's.

That, though, is mild compared to Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, who challenged Teamsters president Sean O'Brien to a fight, right there on the Senate floor the other day. Mullin, though, is another fake tough guy, just like a certain bloviator whom we'll get to later. As Farron Cousins reminds, Mullin hid like a scared child during the Capitol riot of 2021.......

There was a headline I read suggesting that O'Brien & Mullin could get it on in an MMA fight. Uh, no. A fist fight wouldn't work, either.

After an appellate court judge in NYC lifted Judge Arthur Engoron's gag order against Donald Trump on a temporary basis, 518 traitor Elise Stefanik of Schuylerville declared victory, claiming credit after filing an ethics complaint against Engoron, as we talked about the other day. Uh, no. All she's doing is scoring points with the Orange Toddler, because I don't think the decision to lift the gag order pro tempore has any connection with her ethics complaint.

Trump, meanwhile, wasted little time after the appellate court's decision, not realizing that it is temporary, to resume his whining about Engoron & NY Attorney General Letitia James.

"SEE! I told you they were corrupt!!!"

No, they're not, Fraud Fauntleroy. You are. Wake up to reality, if you can.

NY Misrepresentative Pinocchio Santos is facing an ethics complaint of his own because of his persistent lying and embellishing of his personal life, and on Thursday, Santos announced he would not seek re-election next year. Yeah, sure, and pigs will fly. Some commenters on Yahoo! are already predicting Santos will change course and run after all.

Empty-G has come out with a book, and, predictably, is already getting trashed by critics because it's full of lies & misrepresentations. Just like Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene can't keep her lies straight. Now, she's claiming Democrats did nothing to protect themselves during the riot. Wrong again! While Mullin and Hee-Hawley were hiding or running, other members of Congress were working to defend the chambers. Democrat Reuben Gallego of Arizona, for example, is an ex-Marine, and was teaching his colleagues how to use gas masks.

So what was Congress' Dumb Dora doing? Who knows?

Prediction: Greene's book of fibs will be in cutout bins everywhere except certain Georgia bookstores in due course.

Because the GOPers lie so much and so often, gaslighting their voters because it's worked for Trump, maybe we should install lie detectors in the House first, and watch them go off like burglar alarms the minute Greene, Lauren Gropert, Comer, Fibber Jordan, et al, fails to tell the truth. Especially when cameras are watching.......
