Apparently the only analogy Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) could think of to describe the current state of affairs under President Trump was the alternate universe in the Netflix thriller Stranger Things. "Mr. Speaker, like the main characters in Stranger Things, we are now stuck in the Upside Down," Cicilline said from the House floor Thursday.

For those not familiar with the supernatural series, the Upside Down is a parallel dimension that is dark, cold, and houses a terrifying monster.

The only thing missing from Cicilline's presentation was a box of Eggo waffles. Watch him make the case below. Becca Stanek
