They dont have any rational leaders, it is all performative trolls and grandstanders. Which is exactly what their base wants. McCarthy was as bad as the rest of them, and even he was doomed from the minute he picked up the gavel because he is not quite crazy enough for a bad faith party that has gone completely around the bend.

Until that happens, it doesnt matter what stand in beholden to the Freedom Caucus is actually up there. The Democrats might as well stop the GOP led house in its tracks and show the nations rational voters again that the GOP is utterly incapable of leading.

They dont have any rational leaders, it is all performative trolls and grandstanders. Which is exactly what their base wants. McCarthy was as bad as the rest of them, and even he was doomed from the minute he picked up the gavel because he is not quite crazy enough for a bad faith party that has gone completely around the bend. The only way out of this is for America to wake up and vote this version of the GOP into the political wilderness. Every election. Until that happens, it doesnt matter what stand in beholden to the Freedom Caucus is actually up there. The Democrats might as well stop the GOP led house in its tracks and show the nations rational voters again that the GOP is utterly incapable of leading. Because MAGA ridiculousness has completely taken over this party, and as long as that cult has access to any levers of power, it is useless to hope that someone slightly less insane than the GOP norm will be Speaker. Well said. And I think Democrats have finally gotten that hint. At least for the most part. You cannot reason with people who think the election was "rigged" without evidence or that the "deep state" exists. How does one rationally argue lunacy? --- Hideo Kojima is a true innovator Trump is a traitor <cite>TonyKojima posted [p:976457515] in McCarthy i...

Just seems like incredibly risky political calculus to help the extreme sect of their party oust the speaker for the smallest form of bipartisan cooperation, when the same important issue looms in like 40 days. I mean, if you have no issues with an extended goverment shutdown that will be devastating for millions of people, then I suppose I understand being flippant about it. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:976457564] in McCarthy i...

I've never said Trump is better than anyone and I don't remember ever being particularly negative towards Biden as a concept, so you seem like an extremely silly person. You were literally in a topic earlier this year "just speculating" that Trump "might" actually have proof there was election fraud, and your "speculation" was all what amounted to "Biden is so bad I can't imagine how he won." Such as here: Now I'm not American, and I'm just speculating here. I certainly would never have voted for Trump, but I did watch at least one of his SotU speeches just to see the trainwreck. You could not pay me to watch a Biden SotU speech. I value my time way too much. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
