Somehow McCarthy brings Mickey Mouse to mind, but, alas, his sorcerer doesn’t call a halt to the forces he’s unleashed.

So…fertile ground.

McCarthy is screwed. He’ll have to do so much self-abegnation and ass-kissing I’d feel sorry for him if he was somebody else.

Who else realistically wants the job that might be able to get it? He’s a lock for speaker if they win because he’s a coward that won’t do a damn thing to reign in their caucus. If you think the the GOP has an actual agenda they want to pass in 2022 I’ve got some beach front property in FL to sell ya.

The house GOP priority for after the midterm is to escape accountability. McCarthy is the perfect man for the job.
