Mule Kicks

I swear Bill Clinton said the same thing 30 years ago:
Speaking at a fundraising event in McLean, Virginia, Biden told donors that he would remain focused on what matters most — helping the American people. 
"Everybody always asks about impeachment. I get up every day — not a joke — *not* focused on impeachment. I’ve got a job to do. I've got to deal with the issues that affect the American people, every single solitary day."

It was a good line then. But Gingrich never gave Clinton the chance to say this:

Biden reflected on how Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene sought to impeach him his very first day in office. The extremist Republican, a leader in the party, did in fact file articles of impeachment one day after President Biden was sworn in. Biden added: 
"I don’t know quite why, but they just knew they wanted to impeach me. And now, best I can tell, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government."

Gingrich learned shutting down the government wasn’t a winner; but he did it because he didn’t get his choice of seat on Air Force One (you could look it up). It’s been a loser for the GOP ever since.

Mitch McConnell likes to say “There’s no education in the second kick of a mule.” Seems some people are just uneducable.

Or the country will be saved by House Democrats and a few more like Ken Buck (Lauren Boebert?) And wouldn’t that be a kick in the head?
