Discussion: Reports: McCarthy Drops Out Of Speaker Race

Discussion for article #241550

This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes, again

Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, stranger’s hand
In a, desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane, all the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the King’s highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles

HOLY SHIT!

The Apocalypse train is entering the station now…

EDIT TO ADD:

He said McCarthy felt he had the votes for Thursday’s closed-door nomination,

That’s a bunch of BS. He must have recognized that he had FAR LESS than the 218 and it wouldn’t get any better as time went on.

He’s an idiot and a nutter, but I guarantee you that who ever they do choose will be even worse.

People, get ready for some serious insanity.

It’s possible we’ll need to save it so that we have something to eat if this really goes off the rails.

Proving once again that Republicans are incapable of governing.

I’m guessing he was only around 190 or so and Nancy made it clear that she would not provide any Dems to help him out.

The Speaker of the House needn’t be a Member of the House. I could use the money and perks. So what if I am a Yellow Dog Democrat?

They could yell “LIAR” and throw tomatoes at me for all I care. The House would be more productive, less destructive. Hey that’s my slogan!!!

Only ones left who actually want the job are the REALLY f***in’ crazy Teapubs. Anybody out there still think things can’t get worse? Just watch.
