That would be an amazingly petty and precise super volcano.
What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

Ah, gotcha. Didn't realize you were speaking literally. Yes, a supervolcano would be lovely right now.
Plus, it's the Republican Party. You could pick any one member at random to launch an investigation into and even in the event it doesn't turn up proof that they're pedo scum (although I bet the majority of them are), you're bound to learn something damning. If one of them manages to kick off a chain reaction of politicians all investigating each other, the end result could be that no one comes out of it not looking horrible.
On the other hand, that could very easily have the opposite effect, where people realize this is just normal for Republicans and, faced with the possibility of becoming a one-party system run by the party they've been against their entire lives, R voters decide it's better to just find an excuse to accept it as the way things have to be, or even rewrite their internal moral system to say that being pedo scum is Good, Actually.
Republicans on the House Ethics Committee reject releasing report on Matt Gaetz
Republicans on the House Ethics Committee voted Wednesday against releasing a report on their long-running investigation into President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz

He's getting in then.
they ALL. are....
Don't count him in yet. Markwayne is one of my Senators and my Senators are generally all in for Trump. When the upper house tells the lower house what they want and the lower house says no, don't count on the upper house saying oh ok. These are the makings of a turf war. The Senate can call all the people the House Ethics Committee talked to.

I worked in a workplace for a while where I was the only person who went to college. They actually firmly believe college is mostly a fraud. Kids that don't have any common sense go to college and get themselves a job at a desk doing something boring and questionable while real men go do work.
To be fair, I've seen my share of college grads like that. Not all colleges are created equal and some students lie and cheat their way to their degree. Heck, my father would complain about how architects designed buildings in ways that wouldn't allow them to pass code. He was an electrician, but guess what, even an electrician has to have additional schooling in order to get licensed, even if it's more of a certificate than a degree. He had to have a working knowledge of applied physics and the electrical code of where he was working to do his job.
Issue is that they often see ALL college grads like that instead of a problematic subset of them.

I'm a college grad and I would say it was an absolute scam.
They see all college grads that way because they see all mexicans that way, all blacks that way, or some other stereotype that way... because how many of those people do they actually see in their every day lives?
Exposure and education solves this problem: but it's a really hard sell to bigots.

The mileage varies. In my situation, I hired into the refinery as a laborer and worked with other laborers doing whatever fairly lower skill work was needed. Some of the guys intended to be laborers permanently. You can stay that way, but all the employees for all the represented jobs started as laborers back then and it was generally intended that you would work into something else. In the labor gang, we had little real contact with engineers, but that is who starred in all the stories. Because engineers make unit operators' jobs harder. They do that by running experiments and changing equipment to make the refinery more efficient or improve products. Unit operators would rather keep everything the same. So they see engineers as disruptive. And it is true that some of the things the engineers try do not pan out, but they are there and being paid what they are because they often make a change that will pay for their salary perpetually. And in fact that is how they get promoted, so they are pretty motivated. They do try things somethings that are or sound like things other engineers have tried before. So the unit operators get used to the idea that they know better than the engineers how to run the refinery. They are unaware that the engineers (who don't know what that valve there does or what this gauge here indicates) understand the chemistry that is going on and can get up to speed on the unit operators job fairly quickly if they needed to. It was clearly, generally believed among laborers and operators that engineering was a good job for someone who didn't really understand how things work and aren't willing to do hard work. They pride themselves for their "common sense" and "mechanical inclination" that the engineers lack.
I was a laborer whose Dad was a chemical engineer, so I got to see both sides. But my Dad helped me out a lot because in his days out working in the field he had been very good with the unit operators. He grew up on a farm and working on tractors and trucks and he understood their side of things very well. And he was a lot more folksy than the average engineer. He went out there knowing what he intended to accomplish, but he would take a couple operators out with him and have them explain how something operated and then he would spitball with them a while and they felt like they were part of solving a problem. And he knew to ask if someone had tried something before.

Rep. Lauren Boebert became the first sitting member of Congress with a Cameo account. So why did it disappear after one day?
