Waiting for an answer, Mr. Speaker.
I don't know what say right now that's useful. So I'll just say that if government treated white people the way Black people get treated, the Republican Party would make some sense.
The breathless horse race/theater coverage of the #KevinMcCarthy #Speaker saga shows that the national media has learned exactly nothing in five long years. Itโ€™s still desperately trying to fit a โ€œnormal politics like it used to beโ€ frame around a โ€œfar right authoritarian party fundamentally unserious about both democracy and actually governingโ€ picture. That world and party is gone, and the only way to understand what youโ€™re seeing is to internalize that change.
Sometimes I miss Twitter, but then you find out how Elon Musk reinstated traitor Flynn on the 2 year Anniversary of the Jan 6 insurrection & you are reminded why you can't be a part of it anymore.

One fascinating thing about the House Republican's self-immolation is how it is substanceless.

McCarthy's opponents have no specific complaints about McCarthy.

They just don't like him.

And McCarthy has no specific rationale for being Speaker.

He just wants power.

Weโ€™ve gone from the most productive Congress in decades under Democrats to one where a barely passing motion to adjourn and go home by republicans is the treated like a glorious victory.

Yes, the House GOP in disarray.

But donโ€™t let any of it distract you from the GOP's enormously destructive agenda.

They're already trying to gut Congressional ethics, rescind funds for the IRS to go after rich tax dodgers, and eliminate the Congressional Workers Union.

Fine. I'll be House Speaker.

Remember those cars Andrew Tate bragged about in his original tweet to Greta Thunberg?

Romanian authorities just seized them.
