ah yes, gaetz evoking the “special interests” boogeyman. Take a look in the mirror, you absolute cretin.
Yeah, but Gaetz's special interest is underage girls, and there's no official caucus for that so it doesn't count.
He was shacked up with an underaged boy for a while innit.
Yep, it's well known most of the caucus is into underage boys.
Guess we dodged the bullet of having an overt white supremacist as the Speaker of the House.
We’ll see what fresh horror the GOP tries to unleash on us next, I suppose.
fresh horror
Not sure I'd call Gym "fresh," but he is horrible.
A speakership shared between Boebert and MTG;
Lmao “shared”
They’re very definitely not friends these days.
So sure, put them in a cage match with the speaker’s gavel in the middle of the arena. People would watch that, and it’d be a damn sight more useful than what the House has done recently - definitely since Monday; arguably since January 3, 2023.
lets just say that McConnel might be able to pay attention for more than five minutes...
Your fic needs work. Too unrealistic.
I guess comparing yourself to David Duke is its own baggage.
So now he can call himself "David Duke without votes".
Fkn clown show
The Republicans truly have no idea what to do or how to get their shit together now that the Democrats have finally said “Not my clown; not my circus.”
Turns out, when your party spends a lot of time and money courting self serving narcissistic voters, you end up with a lot of self serving narcissistic politicians.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Steve Scalise has withdrawn from the race to become House Speaker a day after Republicans nominated him for the position in a closed-door meeting.
The shocking move comes with the GOP in a state of chaos over the effort to replace Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the position last week.
Jordan was the other contender for the position, as well as the favorite of former President Donald Trump, who endorsed him last week.
It’s unclear whether Jordan will emerge as the nominee, or whether another contender will challenge him in a closed-door vote.
The development split MAGA Republicans, with many attacking Gaetz for plunging the chamber into chaos.
“People say it’s chaos here just because the special interests don’t have a unified way to control everything,” he told CNN after Scalise announced his withdrawal.
