Last week, as the war with Iran dragged into its seventh month, gas prices shot up to an average of $4.50 a gallon, and polling showed President Trump about twice as far underwater with American voters as he was at this point in 2018, Republican senators determined that the time had come to discuss something else entirely: youth sports. “Girls’ sports are for girls. Boys’ sports are for boys,” Senator Marsha Blackburn said in a news conference.

    These are the same sports that require parent-provided mechanized transportation of players via expensive liquid fossil fuels? Seems like the party of asshattery is barking at a non-issue, since it’ll soon cost too much for those parents to provide said transportation due to GOP incompetence, corruption, aggression, and greed. Their perceived problem has been solved before it even began. Guess we really, really, won’t be needing them anymore.
