I saw the high school thing several days ago.
On a Republican pizza? Not a chance. Marinara it is.
What if 20 “Never Scalise” Republicans emerge from the ranks?
I’d be happy if that happened, because it would narrow Republicans’ path forward to control their outcome for Speaker. I’m not a Scalise fan. However, I don’t think it’s likely.
I think they will coalesce around Scalise if they can just get McCarthy to step aside. It will give the Never-Kevs a “win,” because they can say that they stopped the evil McCarthy.
The rest know they’re getting someone almost as treacherous as McCarthy. He will likely do much of the worst damage they can imagine to Dems. Scalise is a troglodyte same as the rest. He’s just kept his head down.
Here’s the good news, such as it is: Scalise will be as weak a Speaker as McCarthy would have been. Their majority is just too small, and will probably grow smaller in the coming months. “Burning it all to the ground” doesn’t work too well as a slogan in general elections, except for a very select few in his caucus. Unfortunately for him, their number is just enough to stop almost anything Scalise would want to do to help the rest of his caucus in 2024.
well, most of the Republiopaths we have seen resemble stuffed crusts – stuffed with what I leave to your imagination
He’s certainly not getting a speaker of the house elected.
But he has thus far stopped Kevin McCarthy from becoming Speaker and made the Republicans look foolish, so he’s my hero.
Removed because @Love_Rhombus beat me to the quote on the truth of the witchcraft allegation.
You got Rhombus’ed! (I’m still workshopping it.)
Attacking your own kneecaps with a ball-peen hammer is better than sleeping with Matt Gaetz.
Or so it says on the bathroom wall.
Coincidentally, “Ball-peen” is what Matt Gaetz’s girlfriends call him.
Liz Cheney! Liz Cheney! Call or email your representative. Get her nominated!
She’s the Lesser Evil!
That’s why I’m asking you to nominate Cthulhu. Why settle?
One wonders if the Democrats did that en masse, whether a couple of the McCarthyites would join in. Watching the reactions of the HMC as Liz Cheney got a vote count of 217 would be fun.
I know, I know…
they would need five
So now they’re voting for Kevin Hern, who’s known for his stock purchases violations.
Stock purchase violations would be a rather minimally criminal record to have for anyone hoping to win the respect of House Republicans.
Word is that Lauren Boebert nominated Hern ONLY for the fun of trolling the pro-McCarthy Pubs by slowly saying “I nominate for the Speakership, Kevin… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …Hern.”
Sounds about right.
That legendarily razor-sharp wit has become her trademark.
