The Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair...

...is now The Tribe That Rubs Shit On The Walls.

I wrote the following during The Before Time.  Specifically, during the Golden Age of Bipartisanship when David Brooks was confidently reassuring America that his GOP was doing just great, and all of your Never Trump friends were just called "Republicans" and were making their living calling you a dirty commie traitor and stomping all over everything you love and care about:

Longtime readers know that "The Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair" is my shorthand for inbred Conservative meatsticks who have wallowed in wingnut Hate Radio racist dung and Fox News Liberal Conspiracy claptrap for so long that is has become the quotidian argot of their wretched lives.  It is their tavern-talk -- their worst, paranoid delusions, externalized, validated, tarted up as The Unvarnished Truth and then regurgitated back to them by ghouls and treason-mongers like Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly... which are, in turn, passed around again like so many fish stories, getting bigger and wilder and truthier with iteration.   

It is the shit they eagerly rub in their hair -- the shit which, year after year, they sculpt into ever more elaborate pompadours because everyone else in their dingy, lightless corner of Universe is doing it and they lost their sense of smell 40 years ago.

They preen over each other.  They are happy in each other's company.  They praise each other on the little, individual touches with which they have customized their Shitheap Toupees -- an extra layer of Benghaaaazi, perhaps, appliqued over something something the New Black Panther Party because ACORN!.

And all is right with the world...right up until they leave the cocoon of their Wingnut Pig Sty and step into the normal world, where they are Shocked!Shocked! that ordinary people flee from them in horror...

So whatever became of those Hate Radio-wallowing racist Conservative meatsticks that we crackpot Liberal alarmists had obviously dreamed up out of whole cloth to try to make the noble Republican Party look bad?

Well there hangs a tale.  

From the Daily Mail:

MAGA mob rioters smeared their own feces throughout the Capitol and 'tracked brown footprints' in several hallways during violent siege

Some of the MAGA mob rioters who stormed the US Capitol smeared their own feces throughout the building and left brown 'footprints' in their wake.    

Senator Chuck Schumer's staffers found out on Thursday that some rioters had defecated in the Capitol, a source told the New York Daily News. 

They are believed to have defecated in one of the bathrooms after breaching the Capitol before 'tracking' their excrement in multiple hallways in the building. 

Brown footprints were found in parts of the Capitol hallways. 

'It looked like they tracked it around,' the source said. 

The feces left behind was just some of extensive damage caused by the mob when they stormed the Capitol in a violent siege that has left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer who is believed to have been hit over the head with a fire extinguisher during the riot. 

Say it with me kids...
