The Republican Party's terrible, no good, very bad day.

Alexander, who is the main character in the children's book from which I borrowed part of the title, knew it was going to be a terrible, no good, very bad day because he went to sleep with gum in his mouth and woke up with gum in his hair.
When he got out of bed, he tripped over his skateboard and by mistake dropped his sweater in the sink with the water running. There were lima beans for supper, and there was kissing on TV.
It was that kind of day for Republicans in the House of Representatives, and for Speaker Kevin McCarthy. First of all, the Senate, including most of the Republican members, have shown the way toward working out a deal to avoid a government shutdown.
So he is faced with the choice of selfishly trying to protect his own rear end, and in so doing, creating misery for millions of Americans who will distinctly remember this as his and the small extremist minority in his party doing, which means his speakership is going to end after the 2024 election anyway, or doing the right thing, something which has been an increasingly difficult dilemma for Republicans over the past forty years or so.
Then, right down the line, the witnesses in the impeachment hearings that started today unanimously testified to absolutely nothing that would lead to any conclusion of wrongdoing on the part of the President.
In fact, one of them actually said, there's no evidence here. If that wasn't bad enough, the Democrats on the oversight committee actually did their homework, looked through everything that was there, made a fine, virtually ironclad case that there is no grounds for impeachment, and then, if that wasn't terrible and no good enough, the number two Democrat on the committee found, and called out, an attempt to fabricate evidence by pointing out the obvious and deliberate deception, embarassing the congressman from Florida who had created the phony text message slide.
It can't get much more terrible, no good, very bad than it did today. Remember back at the the beginning of President Biden's term, when a few disagreements had the media declaring that the Democrats were "in disarray"?
This is disarray to the tenth power.
