LABELED STOOGES:...Trump's Supporters Leave Job In Congress To Sit In NYC Courtroom...Blasted As Being Morons...Including Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, Who Didn't Attend Criminal Son's Recent Court Appearances...

McALLEN, Texas |...Well, it certainly was an American first. There, in a Lower Manhattan courtroom described as being dingy and in need of remodeling, a covey of Republican congresspeople and senators sat for long hours while their leader - one Donald J. Trump - saw and listened to his alleged crooked business dealings as if watching a cheap, Italian B-movie saga.

Send in the clowns, yes.

This while news reports also had it that U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito had at times flown the American flag upside down, said to be a protest move against the 2020 election Trump lost. We are on the precipice of a coast-to-coast joke gone wrong.  

And at a hearing in the House of Representatives, a few obvious facts crashed off the hallowed halls of a very old political chamber in the Capitol Building. 

". . . . What Republicans won't show you," New York Congressman Jerry Nadler said, "is the mounting evidence that Trump is mentally incompetent to hold the office of the president."

Nadler scoffed at Trump’s inexplicable praise at a recent rally of the fictional character Hannibal Lecter from "The Silence of the Lambs."

". . . . 'The late, great Hannibal Lecter,'" Nadler quoted Trump. "I can't even begin to understand how Republicans have chosen this man as their champion. But they have. And now House Republicans are paying for it by flocking to the sidelines of his criminal trial, sacrificing their integrity to defend them against, frankly, indefensible acts."

Truer words are rarely spoken in the D.C.

But Republicans do not care. That also is a fact, cold and mineral as it is. These burning-grill MAGA people are hellbent on something they likely would eventually despise. Annoying pain sometimes turns into something more serious.

Republican Lauren Boebert of Western Colorado was one of those in attendance for Trump's latest day in court yesterday. What she may know about hush money payments to porn stars is a question we cannot answer.

But we do know that her son was arrested back in Rifle, Colorado and charged with burglary and a few other crimes associated with such things. Boebert's only comment about that was that the family was going through a litany of problems that also included her divorce from the kid's father.

Then she said getting her son a lawyer was problematic in that it was an expense she could not afford.

But there she was in New York, backing Trump. Talking loudly when addressing the press outside the courtroom, as if all was hunky-dory in her own crumbling house.

And then some dude walked up to her and handed her a Broadway bill (show's program pamphlet) for the show Beetlejuice and we saw Boebert frown and walk away. Beetlejuice, well a performance of the stage show in Denver, had brought her notoriety a few months back.

She had been caught on theater cameras groping a date's todger and being groped about her breasts while seated alongside other theater go'ers.

Her saliva-fueled anger aimed at Trump's prosecutors seemed silly, artful and fake.

Lauren Boebert?...
