Highlights: The U.S. government stands as a mockery to its intentions, and the disease that was formerly in the White House now runs wild in Congress.

House Republicans have apparently lashed themselves to the mooring of their sinking ship, floundering in a storm of their own making. They are not unlike toddlers sloshing back and forth in the bathtub and crying about the results.
