I usually don’t mind have a little late-afternoon Schadenfreude snacks, but not sure why TPM thinks this low-energy Mean Girls: The GOP Edition merits coverage.
Keep practicing holding your head that way Matty. You may be doing it a lot in prison.
Politics is slime. It gets over all of those DC folks. Coverage is just a matter of degree. In Matt Gaetz’s case the slime is multi-layered.
I think these details, these bits of behavior, tell us a lot about these people.
Because the House is on a well deserved 16 day break from its rigorous work schedule of not legislating, so there are no new delays, obstruction or investigatory scandals to report.
There’s a certain mild fascination about scorpions stinging each other. Sting harder, scorpions!
The GOP has decided to take a pass on civil war with the libtards and the woke mob, and just go in-house. Simpler. Plus all the stuff about the woke mob is largely p.r., while Republicans sincerely hate each other.
Qevin McQarthy has always been pretty pathetic.
That we’re paying them way to much for them to play acting as legislators?
Surely the most pathetic thing I heard from Kevin McCarthy was that he still hopes to be able to serve in a Trump cabinet.
How did a cheap whore like this end up in the line of succession?
Gerrymandering
Imagine if the worst kids from your middle school formed a legislature. That’s the GOP caucus in the 118th Congress.
Addendum: Also props to whoever wrote the “spill some tea” in the article headline.
My takeaway?
The Republican Party is filled with unethical people engaged in illegal acts intended to return large amounts of money, both political and personal.
Can we give them a private room?
No holds barred.
So typically Christian of them.
Because if one House R can manage to vacate the Speaker, they derail any progress on passing aid to Ukraine?
Gee, who to believe?
And a door that locks from the outside.
If this is supposed to make McCarthy seem more likable, it failed. He’s still weak and cowardly. He can’t clean the stink off himself after he RAN down to Florida to kiss Trump’s ass after Jan 6th. He doesn’t like the Perpetually Drunk Fratboy, but who cares? McCarthy is just a different type of ick.
Doesn’t have to be sound-proofed, though - would be kinda fun to hear the thumping and banging…
