This shitshow just gets better and better and McCarthy deserves every bit of this. Effing punk.

So, will it be Steve 'David Duke without the baggage' Scalise or Gym 'I like to watch' Jordan that puts Kev down?

Think I'll spin up 'Bless It's Pointed Little Head' by the Airplane in Kevin's honor.

Tail is wagging dog as the saying goes since the Freedumb mob want to run the House. Going to be very interesting the next couple of days. I do have a question though, if Santos has not been sworn in, how is he eligible to vote as a member of the House?

He slithers back to Bakersfield and hides under a rock?

Now the Reichwing of the House has nominated Rep. Donalds from Florida who is just beginning his second term. So this is an ongoing game being played out against McCarthy.

McCarthy fails a fourth time as House GOP careens into chaos
Allies of the conference's embattled leader scrambled ahead of his failure to secure a majority on Day Two of a chamber in limbo.

The only way to end this is to offer up a moderate Repube that the Dems will vote for. Head on back to the streets of Bakersfield, Kevin!

Update: K.M. has lost five votes for speaker of The House (so far). The Dems should put fourth the Repubs nominate Liz Cheney and they'll go along just to put an end to the current circus. That would also have the effect of cutting the FreeDum caucus off at the knees.

Kevin McCarthy and George Santos, the two main clowns of the current circus

Two days and six votes and the self inflicted public humiliation of the GOP goes on. Amazing to watch these bums self immolate.

This is all performative grandstanding by the chief swamp creatures in the Freedumb Cock Ups.
