Republicans already turned this into a circus. They're the ones who unanimously voted for a rule that allowed one person to motion to vacate the speaker chair. Democrats tried to warn them about this because it was obviously going to result in this happening.

Another reminder that the Republican party does not believe they or their voters actually have any agency. Everything is a reaction to Democrats "making" them do it. With an expectation that Democrats are meant to be the adults and not them.

Who the fuck knows

It seems like a lot of House Republicans are pushing back against the idea, so it may not actually happen

Who am I kidding? It's gonna happen

It couldn't be any more of a circus if they wore red noses and shot Steve Scalise out of a cannon.

I mean, I know the answer to my question. This gives Jim Jordan a chance to bring his bullshit rhetoric directly to Fox's audience rather than waiting for their producers to cut his buffoonery into bite-sized soundclips. But Fox's audience is already indoctrinated, and the rest of the country is going to see his circus for what it is.

They created the monsters who turned it into a circus. Maybe try putting down the monsters they keep enabling. That includes their dumbass voters who get dumber by the month.

You can't be surprised clowns took over when you spent years empowering them by turning a blind eye to their loud voice in your party.

Maybe they should have an actual governing agenda other than being obstructionist dickweeds then.

Of course they're upset. Before McCarthy got voted out they were making speeches about how if he did it hurts their power.

That's all they care about, power. They don't care about the people, just their nefarious hold on power.

They can get upset, the country would be better off if every single one of them lost their power and could never have it back again.

Yeah, Gym's bullshit isn't going to be well received the more people know about him. He's going to expose his own ass and it won't be pretty.

How long and how many times did it take for McCarthy to get the role of speaker again? Wonder how long it will take this time.

This can be 100% traced to republicans.

The party base embraced MAGA, conspiracies, extremism, Christian nationalism, white supremacy, xenophobia, cruelty based legislation, and alternate reality media...

...and the corporate/institutionalist party leadership and right wing media machine found that embracing this wave of radical fake populism was good for their numbers electorally as long as they could reign in the lunatics to some degree.

Well, looks like the weirdos and lunatics are running the party now. The vicious rabid animal has turned on it's master.

They're talking all kinds of shit about Gaetz now too. According to more than one member of Congress, the guy crushes "ED medication" and has vids of Capitol Hill interns.
