The jellyfish is a perfect analogy for Kevin McCarthy--

[lastlib]

They're both spineless, brainless, senseless, float with the current, and feed from the bottom.



(But the jellyfish is better-looking....)

Kevin the Jellyfish.....

[Ocelot II]

1. And they are transparent.

But jellyfish can be kind of beautiful; Kev not so much.

[The Magistrate]

2. Nah....

Jellyfish can kill you.

McCarthy doesn't even rise to the heights of a creme-puff masquerading as a hard roll.

[Walleye]

3. Yeah jellyfish stings can hurt. Kevin couldn't hurt an ant

[lastlib]

5. except with his policies--those WILL kill people,

and other living things.

[Walleye]

6. True but I don't think they are really his policies. He does what Trump tells him to do

[lastlib]

9. You may be right, but he shares them...

He is charged by the master(s) to try to enact them, thereby accepting partial ownership of them.

[treestar]

12. agree, he gets ownership of them

as he must agree with them. He's part of a different branch of the government, the purpose of which was to prevent any one branch from being tyrannical. He is part of the checks and balances on the other two branches, so by going along with TFG, he has shown those policies are his also. He has the power to oppose if he chooses - that's the very purpose of his being of a different branch.

Though after typing all that, TFG is not President now so Kev is opposing the actual POTUS. But he has even more power then, to do other than what TFG wants.

[Walleye]

13. For sure

[2naSalit]

4. Good description!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

7. I think of pukes more as hagfish.

Ugly as shit. Bottom carrion feeders. Defend themselves by producing copious amounts of thick slime.

[lastlib]

8. That's not bad, either.

We can accept that. Thanks for the thought!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

10. Also, very primitive.

Throwbacks to an earlier evolutionary period.

[TSExile]

11. Actually...

I've always said that jellyfish have more spine than that guy, but I digress.
