Clown Car

Jim Jordan, er, Gym Jordan, says the Founding Fathers wanted a political party to come lose to physical violence in electing a Speaker, and claims this was no different than the vote to elect Pelosi. Except Pelosi’s vote didn’t take 15 tries And she didn’t jump out of her seat and rush another member of Congress demanding a vote.

Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Traitor Greene are sill fighting over who gets to be the pretty girl in Congress and who gets to fuck the newbies under the bleachers.

Speaking of Large Marge did you notice how many times her picture was taken with George Whatever-His-Name-Is-This-Week? I don’t think she likes him but she’s never one to turn down a chance to get her fugly mug on TV.

Matt Gaetz said he would never ever never vote for McCarthy and then, after a week’s worth of raising money and campaigning on that stance, he voted for McCarthy … right after another member threatened to physically assault him.

Best of all was Kevin McCarthy being barely elected on his fifteenth try, smiling and joking like this was business as usual when how he got elected was by allowing just one member of Congress a vote to have him removed. The Wind Down clock is already running, Kev.

The GOP think they have this all locked up and will rule this party and this country and yet they can’t even agree on a Speaker.

Cluster :::cough::: fuck.

  1. The Trump cultists are going to fail in their attempted hijacking, and shortly, the indictments are going to start falling. At that point, they'll pull out their steely, little knives and the bloodletting will commence.

  2. While I hope that Dave R is right I am still of the "I'll believe it when I see it" group. While there may be indictments I doubt that anyone of them will spend a night in a room with bars on the doors and windows.

    1. But we can dream, and I think some might, because the higher-ups will sell the others straight down the stream if the chance arises.

  7. What is going on is crazy as a kindergartener hyped up on birthday cake.

    Sit back and observe.

    Every time the Republicans speak to the media-print/television- they try to be sly and go to "whataboutism."

    I wish the media-Democrats'-would learn how to counter that. The Republicans' are hearing what is said but are shouting "Hey look over there!" , "There is something shinny over there!" And the media falls for it every time.

    Even I know what the talking points points are at this point-Hunter Biden's laptop, "undesirables" coming across the southern border, drugs coming across the Mexican border , crime, grooming, inflation, critical race theory.... We all need a Pete B. in our back pocket to stop them dead in their tracks.

    The Republicans' protests too much.

    And if I hear one more time "the American people" I am going to puke.

    Buckle up folks. It's going to be wild, bumpy ride for the next two years.

    PS-I am taking bets on how long McCarthy will last before someone throws down the gauntlet of a vote of no confidence.

    1. The GOP can't even smoothly elect a Speaker and they think the party will come together??? Delusional AF.

  8. We're fucked. We're all fucked when the GOP has control of anything.

  9. I say let's go back to the Roman times, throw them in the arena of a Coliseum with some very loose hungry tigers let them all claw and fight their way out. I'm sick of all of them. And I already can't wait to see how long George Santos stays in before he's kicked out. I can't believe he's even being left allowed to stay in.

    Let’s see how long McCarthy lasts. I think Frosty the Snowman will have a longer lifespan. It should be entertaining watching the ReThugs turning on each other.

  11. Seeing this from across the ocean - it has all been a strange and rather puzzling affair. Here a speaker is essentially someone who chairs proceedings. He or she is expected to behave in a neutral manner and doesn't have enormous political clout.

  12. Not sure what that show was all about... but I do hope it's not renewed for another season.

  13. It is going to be a difficult House to work with or in.

  14. The Republicans are barely holding it together. And it won't last for long.

    I think Marge is the only member of Congress who will speak to George Santos. Every time I see a picture of him he's by himself. (Unless he's with her.)
