US Congress Judicial Committee website posts "Ditzy chick" gifs

What we've been referring to of late as the Politics of Stupid regime that we are all forced to live under since the GOP takeover of both the U.S. House and Senate, is living up to its name once again today.

The Republicans who now control the once-honorable and formerly-esteemed U.S. House Judiciary Committee go full "BuzzFeed" (Plus sexism! Minus amusing!) with this incredibly embarrassing page posted on Wednesday as a "Press Release" in opposition to the President's Executive Actions on immigration.

A Liberal with the exception of maybe Britney Spears. This is what happens when lunatics run the asylum.

The whole think just looks so incongruous, with the staid and stately top banner and then way too many amateurish gifs. It reminds me of Homer Simpson’s webpage:

http://www.homerswebpage.com/

Honestly, a webpage like this was considered amateurish and boorish back in 2000 when Homer did it-that was the joke 15 years ago.

Sure, this little website is an insult to thinking people everywhere, but that's not the Republican base, is it? Their voters need things explained in the most oversimplistic way, with pictures and primitive language so as to best understand the latest end-of-the-world catastrophe about to overtake us all.

There will be another one next week.

Consisting entirely of 'Liberals. Bad. Har, Har, Har.' comedy stylings.
