Aye, Mateys, bring on the planks for the ship-of-state traitors

Don’t give up the ship of state, but do hire a pirate to lead the Rrr-rats off the plank, Mateys!

When I look at our current Congress, I wonder what Washington and Lincoln would say about the extreme right Republican drama kings and queens?

I don’t think they would be impressed by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin MCarthy, Jim Jordan, Matt Goetz, and certainly not Defendent Trump. They might conclude that we should have stayed British if we can act more civil and honest.

Instead of filibusters, grandstanding, and drama stunts—let’s just get one thing clear. If you act like a whinny toddler or junior high bully, you might be ordered to walk the plank and swim to another country if any will accept you. Doubtful.

In a fellow teacher’s classroom there hung a white towel with big red letters and a stop sign inscribed “Crying Towel—take it and cry somewhere else!” Students laughed but they understood it wasn’t a joke. They were to act like adults. They rose to the occasion.

So, Mateys, will it be the crying towel or the plank for these Congress crybabies? Planks are my vote.
