History Recap / VeepS5E7CongressionalBall

-->'''Selina:''' My administration will come down to your ''shitty'' little district and shake it to death like a Guatemalan nanny. And then, I'll have the IRS crawl so far up your husband's colon that he's gonna wish the ''only'' thing they find is more cancer! \\

'''Selina:''' So can I count on your support? Or do I have to shove another box of White House M&Ms up your stretched out six baby vag?

[[caption-width-right:350:A battle of wills ]]

--->'''Selina:''' You're playing a ''very'' dangerous game of chicken with the head fucking hen.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Congres Jaegar tries to back out of voting for Selina and has the audacity of saying he needs to listen to his conscience, when his defining character trait to everyone is that he bangs every prostitute in DC, and even brought one as his date tonight. Selina lets him have it.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Buddy Calhoun is introduced as a semi-important Southern representative. He's also introduced as someone Amy once pissed off by saying she’d grate his balls off over a bowl of spaghetti.

** Gary as well. He thinks he's being complimented for once in his life, and then it turns out his presence on the hottest staffers' list was a total accident - there's another Gary Walsh and they used the wrong picture - and Amy roasts him terribly for it.

** Bill Ericsson engineers for Teddy - the senator who inappropriately fondled Jonah's balls as a power move - to show up to an event where Jonah is working a counter alongside a sweet girl with Down's syndrome. Inevitably, Jonah gets angry and tells Teddy off, and Bill films it from an angle where it looks like Jonah is addressing the girl! Then he puts it on TV. It works perfectly, though there's a false hope when it seems Richard may have recorded it from another angle.

** Bill Ericsson engineers for Teddy - the senator who inappropriately fondled Jonah's balls as a power move - to show up to an event where Jonah is working a counter alongside a sweet girl with autism. Inevitably, Jonah gets angry and tells Teddy off, and Bill films it from an angle where it looks like Jonah is addressing the autistic girl! Then he puts it on TV. It works perfectly, though there's a false hope when it seems Richard may have recorded it from another angle.

* IdiotBall: Richard commits perhaps his single biggest mistake in the series by failing to properly record Jonah telling off Teddy. Instead of recording an unqualified win - Jonah telling off a senator with a known history of abuse - he fails, accidentally turning the camera off instead.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Jonah's admonishment to Teddy for assaulting him and multiple female employees is reframed to look like he's addressing an autistic girl, and his phrasing is precisely what you shouldn't say:
--->'''Jonah:''' You're a lesser species! One I hope gets struck from the Earth!

* TheReveal: Selina gets definitive proof that James is working against her, and in fact, telling other congressmen not to vote for her, despite being her vice freaking president! This, because if the voting is sufficiently indecisive, the vote will move to the Senate, which he knows HE can win.

** Jonah. For once, he's actually doing well at an event and even getting along well with the cute autistic girl he's working alongside. And then he tells off Teddy for being abusive, something he might never have done before. But it's unfortunately misconstrued to make him look like a bad guy, leaving him worse off than ever.

** Bill Ericson engineers for Teddy - the senator who inappropriately fondled Jonah's balls as a power move - to show up to an event where Jonah is working a counter alongside a sweet girl with autism. Inevitably, Jonah gets angry and tells Teddy off, and Bill films it from an angle where it looks like Jonah is addressing the autistic girl! Then he puts it on TV. It works perfectly, though there's a false hope when it seems Richard may have recorded it from another angle.

* PetTheDog: Selina stands up for her daughter when Mike can't talk about her respectfully.

* TheReveal: Selina gets definitive proof that James is working against her, and in fact, telling other congressmen not to vote for her, despite being her vice freaking president! This, because if the voting is sufficiently indecisive, HE will become president instead.

* BullyingADragon: The Colorado congresswoman tries to dig her heels in going up against Selina (pictured above), and Selina unleashes a tirade of profane warning that browbeats her thoroughly.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Congres Jaegar tries to back out of voting for Selina and has the audacity of saying he needs to listen to his conscience, when his defining character trait to everyone is that he bangs every prostitute in DC.

* ShaggyDogStory: Mike, as usual falls victim to this. He spends the congressional ball getting happy about a job with the NHL he thinks he's got nailed. Proceeds to get drunk and embarrass himself. And then finds out he didn't get the job at all because one of his colleagues at the ball got it.
