George Santos for Speaker!

You know, laughs aside, this will not end well. McCarthy has proven to be a spineless fuck and he's obsessed with being Speaker. At the same time, the ultraMAGAassholes aren't suicidal; they're not gonna give Jeffries six votes just to fuck McCarthy up. Until noon tomorrow McCrappy will be re-checking the far-FAR-right's list of demands and eventually he'll say fuckit, you can have your shit, now gimme the goddamn gavel. Which means we'll have a REALLY horrible majority to deal with.

[!@#$%!]

ehh... we'll see. the danger is certainly there,

in the meantime i'd rather gloat for a little bit.

This.

Clearly he is not a leader. (Jan 6th - Mara Lago u-turn). But which Repuke will it be instead?

Gaetz voting Trump and talking about swamp draining tells you everything about Gaetz.

on a related note i saw a 5-second clip of boebert saying "my favorite president" like a schoolgirl with a crush, and i nearly puked.

gotta be able to suppress the gag reflex for these proceedings...

gotta say, i don't know who or what or when or why. i know nothing!

but i hope they die in a fire. just saying. it's not an unfair or unjust wish.

McCarthy making progress. I wonder what promises he made. And how will such promises serve him in the long run?

Surely, as Carville stated, he will be the dumbest Speaker ever.

Gaetz, Boebert, Greene, Trump, etc.....all deplorable. Dems are far from perfect, but between them and GOP for basic intelligence and decency, there is absolutely no contest.

well the dipshit finally got elected at the 15th try lmao

now we're all in the hands of a lunatic fringe.

here's dana milbank, who used to be a "moderate republican" way back when dinosaurs rode tricycles:

Opinion To save himself, McCarthy just destroyed the House

[...]

"This is insurrection by other means: Two years to the day since the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol, Republicans are still attacking the functioning of government. McCarthy opened the door to the chaos by excusing Donald Trump’s fomenting of the attack and welcoming a new class of election deniers to his caucus. Now he’s trying to save his own political ambitions by agreeing to institutionalize the chaos — not just for the next two years but for future congresses as well."

etc etc:

Isn't McCarthy himself a Big Liar?

And on January 8 - close enough, huh. No wonder Bolsonaro fucked off to Florida (yes, fucking Florida) days ago - I'm positive the asshole had this planned before the election. There was a report that he's trying to seek asylum in Meloni's Italy; we'll see. But Christ on a stick, the exact same thing - fascism spreads faster than wildfires.
