I like the moniker TP-MOP (tea party/MAGA/orange pustule) a mop made of TP, ineffective at cleaning anything up.

It all goes back to Newt Gingrich figuring out how to take advantage of the system. He would rant on CSPAN while Congress was not in session spewing his hate. Every group after that took advantage of any agreement that wasn’t “nailed down” to spread chaos.

The Tea Party started halting the budget override votes holding them hostage to get what they wanted. These votes has always been a matter of common procedure, passed without question until the Teas Part stepped in.

Eventually the orange pustule stormed into the White House without a hint of decorum or respect for the office of the president and people in general. The Hatch Act was always obeyed as a matter of respect. There was no reason to add teeth to it, until Kelly Ann Conway.

Then there was Mitch McConnell who stopped the nomination of Garland and forced through three unqualified justices without a pause to review any of their records.
