I had to check to see if he really said it!
Admittedly, I didn’t check if he did, but I felt it was implicitly there.

Well, not exactly nothing. He did get that kick in the nuts that seems to have become his trademark, so there’s that.
So not only is he a moron, he’s a stupid whore.
I think you’re giving Qevin way too much credit for strategizing. He’s too busy covering his crotch on the way to his office (again) to be coming up with anything remotely sophisticated – dumb idea or not.
Recent Republican Speakers
Newt Gingrich - forced from office, ethics concerns, poor election results in 1998 (also taught a generation of Republicans that Democrats must be portrayed as evil enemies of America, so fuck that guy.
Dennis Hastert - high school coach. Pleaded guilty to felony bank fraud. Admitted child molester (high school boys he coached.) Fuck that guy.
John Boehner - PLastic industry executive. Career politician. Gingrich acolyte/victim. Resigned due to increasing oppositional defiance in the radical right wing of the Republican Conference (Freedom Caucus). Last heard from enjoying a life on the road with merlot and pot. Meh.
Paul Ryan - Oscar Mayer Weinermobile driver, career politician, and well known “dead eyed granny starver” (adult libertarian). Reputed, without evidence, to be a fiscal policy wonk. Protector of Devin Nunes. Opposed, then supported Donald Trump. Conflicts with Trump and writing on wall for the 2018 midterms led to “retirement.” Meh.
Kevin McCarthy - WTF? Resign, Kevin! Run! Wingnut Welfare awaits. Maybe. In any case, please fuck off.
The initial reaction was “How stupid do these guys think that people are?”
This was quickly followed by a feeling of embarrassment. This is the “Freedom” caucus. Of course they think that everyone besides themselves and their funders are credulous fools.
Regardless of an impeachment whatever, McCarthy, if he puts a bill on the floor that does not include all the Republican poison pills that keeps the Government open, he will get Dem support.
The problem is without an ongoing impeachment whatever, if McCarthy puts a bill on the floor that is not supported by the crazy insurrection caucus, he will lose the speaker’s gavel.
The idea may not be his. It could be McConnell’s or more likely MTG.
But there is no way the House can conduct anything related to impeachment while it is also ousting its Speaker. Ousting McCarthy would for at least the time being end any impeachment.
WTF is wrong with this site NOW??? It keeps logging me out.
MTG owns that weenie’s balls.
It is ALL semantics.
Didn’t work out to well for Custer. Don’t
think it will for the rethuglicans either.
I’m flummoxed over the goings with Republicans in the House.
But this makes purrfect sense.
(friend saw this today while out for a run)
The Bullshit reigns supreme in the Rethuglican Party – among ALL of them.
Wasn’t that dummy club the “brainchild” of Markie Meadows?
It’s been doing that for me for months. Makes it very frustrating to visit the site.
Bullshit! The Asshole (Freedom?) Caucus has had this on the back and then front burner since the Orange Asshole (and draft dodger) lost the 2022 election. This payback for Trump’s two impeachments and his current three Federal and one State of Georgia indictments. This much to do about nothing is “election interference” and the House Republicans should pay a steep price for their actions. Personally, I think the far right leaders should be considered domestic terrorists and all that entails!
We love this country so much.
“and if it shuts the government down,”
Don’t make us hurt it.
“shut it down.”
