    God, this tastes like I took a giant bite out of an onion. They are…so serious and committed to having a cigar lounge in the capital building that they are going to stage a cigar sit-in in the office of the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES while literally doing nothing legislative.

    It’s just…absurd. The article even read like an Onion piece; same pacing, same over-dramatic statements about minor inconveniences, same “no actual news source like Axios would report on this childish bullshit” feeling.

    The original Axios article, with it’s serious tone almost feels more oniony: https://www.axios.com/2024/06/16/speaker-johnson-tom-cole-capitol-cigars

    How did the absurdity become the norm?

    The source of this dire problem is Rep. Tom Cole’s transition

    Would have been much more fun if the author had “accidentally” stopped the sentence there.

    I think we should all try to support anything that lets rich old bureaucrats kill themselves faster if unwanted side effects can be minimized.
