More chaos for the people that benefit directly from it. Trump because he would end the world rather than face a single consequence, McCarthy because he loves the attention and is impervious to his own nincompoopery, and Gaetz because he’s in the news again.
TV news exists to support whomever throws themselves in front of the camera.

If Gaetz becomes speaker, will he set up a “dating” room with an ATM? What happens in the House, stays in the House.

Because of the deal McCarthy made, cutting off aid to Ukraine and making Vladimir Putin the true Speaker of the House, in name only McCarthy will keep his job with just Republican votes.
Remembering the old Republican line that helped lie America into the war in Iraq, but is true about Ukraine, “we are fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here”, in exchange for cutting off aid to Ukraine, with the exception of Gaetz and maybe one or two other Republicans, the Putin caucus will support McCarthy and the so called “moderates”, which they are not, will merely fall in line.

Nope, all are voting for ouster.
Let’s give a warm welcome back to January, 2023.

Nincompoopery is my kind of language. Certainly more colorful than a scattering of a bunch of F bombs that sometimes grace this place.

Counter: McCarthy doesn’t have a firewall.
Second counter: he ain’t “Cecil”. He needs to see how many R’s voted for ouster. If it’s 20 or more, he should fix his resume.

"“House Democratic leaders have been quiet about how they are going to approach the motion to vacate vote”"
No they have not. They’ve said they’re united and NONE will vote present or for McCarthy. They cite his Jan 6 bullshit, reneging on deals he made with Biden and his attempts to discredit the Jan 6 Committee as reasons for their stance.
I believe the kids say…"fuck around and find out…
