In fact it’s a gas

House conservatives have a special group dedicated to preserving their power. Of course, it’s called the FART team.

No, really, that’s what it’s called. The Floor Action Response Team. FART.

Mind you, this isn’t the first time they’ve had trouble naming things according to Wiki:

The caucus originated during the mid–January 2015 Republican congressional retreat in Hershey, Pennsylvania. According to founding member Mick Mulvaney, “that was the first time we got together and decided we were a group, and not just a bunch of pissed-off guys”. Nine conservative Republican members of the House began planning a new congressional caucus separate from the Republican Study Committee and apart from the House Republican Conference. The founding members who constituted the first board of directors for the new caucus were Republican representatives Scott Garrett of New Jersey, Jim Jordan of Ohio, John Fleming of Louisiana, Matt Salmon of Arizona, Justin Amash of Michigan, Raúl Labrador of Idaho, Mulvaney of South Carolina, Ron DeSantis of Florida and Mark Meadows of North Carolina.
At the retreat in Pennsylvania, the group settled on the name Freedom Caucus. Mick Mulvaney told Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker, “We had twenty names, and all of them were terrible. None of us liked the Freedom Caucus, either, but it was so generic and so universally awful that we had no reason to be against it.” According to Lizza, “one of the working titles for the group was the Reasonable Nutjob Caucus.”

As far as bunches of fucking deadshits go, this clown car certainly is one. The fundamental unseriousness of these people is stunning.
