The Poo Coup!

The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

I used to think it was just a myth that there were any Bernie Sanders/Donald Trump voters, but after seeing the unliberal assaults and online harassment by Democratic activists over the past year, now I see exactly how it happened. That's on you, Dems. That doesn't excuse Trump's history of incitement and incompetence - or those who act on Trump's words.

Wednesday's storming of the Capitol was one of the most bizarre events in modern American political history. It turns out it was even more ridiculous than was reported. Staffers for Sen. Chuck Schumer say that members of this pro-Trump cabal smeared feces throughout the Capitol and "tracked brown footprints" in the hallways.

It's poo.

Back in 2017, I was invited to a human rights conference in Washington, D.C., and had to use the men's room in the Senate office building. I noticed some senator had placed toilet paper all over the toilet seat and peed all over it. But the poo this past Wednesday was spread all over the halls of the Capitol!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office was also vandalized by the Trumpers. Papers were strewn all over the floor. There's no word on whether they shredded them by walking on them in that dance that looks like the moonwalk.

But the poo means that we now call it the Poo Coup! It's the poo that makes it a coup! But we can also call it the Shit Fit.
