In the wild world of politics, some days are just plain wackadoo. Take, for instance, the recent antics of a certain congresswoman who seems to have mastered the art of melodrama. She’s out there claiming that human beings are living in utter squalor, drinking their own urine like it’s a fancy cocktail at a five-star restaurant. Seriously? If that sounds like a plot twist from a dystopian novel, well, you’re not alone. This lady certainly knows how to keep things interesting.

During a recent rant, she recounted a heart-wrenching story about a 21-year-old with diabetes who, after following all the right procedures, found herself in the clutches of ice-cold detention—not the refreshing kind you might enjoy in a summer drink, but the icy grip of ICE! And according to our dramatic congresswoman, the poor soul was denied her medication and, to add insult to injury, had to resort to some sort of survivalist technique that would make even the most seasoned reality show contestant cringe. One can only imagine what the producers would call that episode: “Survivor: Detention Edition.”

Now, is life perfect in every government facility? Of course not. But when was the last time a blowhorn was used to announce just how bad things are in detention centers? It’s like she’s auditioning for a role in her own soap opera titled “Days of Our Lives… in Custody.” Meanwhile, rational folks are left scratching their heads at her portrayal of Congressional drama. Did she skip the part of the class where people learned to balance passion with facts?

Her fellow commentators pointed out that using force is a well-known principle of law enforcement. Imagine a scenario where you resist arrest and decide to channel your inner superhero. Spoiler alert: that never ends well. Apparently, the leftist side of the aisle needs a crash course in the basics of law enforcement. Maybe if someone handed them a law book alongside their protest signs, they’d finally connect the dots between resisting arrest and the cops doing their job.

But hang on! It seems like an old refrain has surfaced in the chaos—blaming the “current administration” for everything that goes wrong. It’s as if she believes President Trump is not only responsible for every missing sock but also for the actions of a deranged individual attacking National Guardsmen. Imagine that! A president controlling the thoughts and actions of every citizen. I mean, if he was that powerful, maybe he could just send out those salad dressing dippers everyone loves instead, thus solving world hunger. But no, let’s just place the blame on the big old Trump piñata.

At the end of the day, it’s essential to approach these issues with a healthy dose of humor and a touch of skepticism. Because if we don’t, we might end up believing that drinking urine is the new way to survive. And honestly, if that ever becomes a trend, it would surely end with at least one angry consumer leaving a one-star review on Yelp. So here’s to hoping our political leaders can tackle serious issues with a little more common sense and a lot less melodrama, otherwise we’re all in for a bumpy—and somewhat stinky—ride.
