… far-right members are threatening to withhold their vote from McCarthy for speaker on the House floor in January, where the narrow GOP majority means McCarthy could fall short of the votes needed to win.
What is a lickspittle to do when the best of his skillful pandering may not be enough?

McCarthy will be Speaker… although he will have to promise the apes and nearthentals that he will impeach Biden every other week, and Garland or some other cabinet official in the week between. Ah, and free rein to fling shit and harass opposition representatives.

Please, please try to impeach Biden.

Probably, but, if Qevin can accurately measure his self-worth, he will come to envy John Boehner.
Otherwise, maybe it’ll just happen in passing flashes of insight.

Depending on the final margin, democrats may only need to siphon off 2 or 3 RINOs to elect the next Speaker. Just out of spite, I’d go with Liz Cheney.

He has already submitted himself to unspeakable humiliations and degradation to the Orange One, he has no dignity left to lose.

Two things:
(1) McCarthy deserves the internecine hell that”s coming to him.
(2) From her description at the end of the article, reporter Emine is an amazingly accomplished young woman.

Christ. Even by the shitshow standards of prior Republican Houses, this is going to be the shitshow of shitshows.

If only Qevin had millions of dollars worth of checks from tobacco companies to hand out just before the vote, he’d be in like Flynn. Sadly, his enticements will be limited to bags of freshly pulled carrots from his district, and those will bear the subliminally suggestive label Bolthouse Farms.

It worked so well with Clinton, and he actually arguably committed perjury.

Louie Gohmert is gone as of January 3, and it’s still not entirely clear whether Boebert will be coming back.

What I want for Christmas is a GQP slim majority misled by the likes of Qevin, Gym and Garbagie Taylor Green, BooBerd and Gofart.
Together they’ll make a Blue Wave almost a certainty in 2024.
Let the clown show begin I say!

TMP seems to be a pretty good jumping off point for greater things for some.

Oh they won’t only try and impeach Joe. They’ll go after Kamala and the whole Cabinet as well.
