@RollingStone Psychopaths don't experience humiliation.

@RollingStone I know it's fun to write about, but that's not the story. The concessions that were extracted from McCarthy are. We are now held hostage by those holdouts.

@RollingStone

This will forever be in the history books along with choice memes.

History books in a decade will be nothing but a collection of snarky social media posts and memes.

@RollingStone oh man, Desantis will have to fly some migrants to McCarthys house to get back in the news cycle and boost his presidential chances

@rukuss you mean more migrant abuse. It's inhumane treatment is what it is. Greg Abbott and DeSantis takes pleasure in these barbaric political theater instead of coming up with real solutions. Human trafficking, human abuse. #SubHuman #InHuman

@RollingStone At what price to America? How many deals did he cut to give 15 Congresspeople authority to derail and obstruct what the rest of the House is trying to do? Protect and defend the Constitution? Not so much.
