An old Village Voice ad would be more appropriate for this crowd…“no freaks, or fats, or fems”.

I once put a personal ad in craigslist that ended “no longer psycho-friendly.” You’d be surprised how many women in DC lack self-awareness in a fundamental way.

If he had thrown a sofa and a bicycle in with the deal I might have called

In reality, an add on Grindr or Ashley Madison would certainly get the attention of more conservative Republicans and many who are more qualified than those wanting the job…of course, you’d have to rule out all the GOPig Cons and Bagger politicians already on Grindr and Ashley Madison. That could shrink the pool a little.

Too bad he didn’t post it but you never know what’s going to crawl out of the woodwork in response. At the same time, it just confirms what we know, that attack ads against the useless Rs write themselves. Some oppo researcher is right now at work on one and won’t hesitate to run it at the right time.

RNC ads to come:
*Vote for Republicans. We don’t like each other and tend to implode as a group,
*The Republicans. Taking crazy and pointless to the next level. Are you in?
*GOP Fever! It’s not contagious, unless you are already infected… Want some?

So are the republicans calling for him to resign?

Oh! I’ve got it! Let Trump be Speaker!

Hear me out. The GOP does not want him to be President, and this would tempt him out of the race. He is crazy-right enough for the Freedumbers. He could pretend to do this job for a while and then resign quickly (which he really can’t do as president). Win, win, win for the GOP.

On second thought, too good for the GOP. Don’t do that. Carry on.

This is hilarious! But does anyone know the reality of this? I thought Bohner was also resigning his house seat, but now their is talk of him staying on as speaker until the normal term ends. Would he stay as speaker but not as a house member? Or would he have to resign his resignation as both speaker and house seat? Also, how would you pay a Speaker. I know a normal house member gets 174K, while the Speaker gets 230-ishK. So would the person elected in his place get the 174 while Bohner (or Trump?) gets the difference of about 50K? Who is a congressional payment policy nerd?
Just so strange!
