> [@Aspenglow](#): > > “He hasn’t been _convicted_ yet!!” - No one should bet against that being a verifiable quote from Kev (yes, he WILL say it). Even after conviction, I’d predict the House GOP refrains from taking any action at all on George. After all, he can vote remotely from Rikers, can’t he? ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > I think one of Kevin’s first orders of business was rescinding proxy voting. And how many minutes will that last past the moment of Santos’ conviction? My guess: The exact same amount of time it takes to walk from McCarthy’s office to the floor of the House. ---

How about a bit with the Democratic Committee To Find Fake Crimes, where the chairman keeps complaining, “Goddamn it, we’re supposed to be pinning _fake_ crimes on this guy! Stop bringing me all this evidence of actual crimes!” ---

_Convictions and convictions and convictions_ _Creep in this petty pace from day to day_ _To the last syllable of the court records;_ _And all his feeble claims have gifted fools_ _The urge to donate cash. Out, out, you MAGAs!_ _Trump’s but an orange moron, a vile grifter_ _That blurts and tweets his bile upon the web,_ _And then is heard no more. His is a mind_ _Owned by an idiot, full of sound and fury,_ _Signifying nothing._ ---
