A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.

The Republican Party has spent decades destroying the competence, character, principles, morals, ethics, and reliability of our government, which is really supposed to be there to do the people's work.

Kevin McCarthy, the great Republican empty suit with nary a thought in his mind, desperately seeks the Speakership and wants to be Lord of the GOP House Flies.

If Republicans bring this much chaos to even electing a speaker, they cannot be counted on to fulfill the body’s basic responsibilities let alone the more complex tasks. Kevin McCarthy has already promised to refuse to fulfill the body's basic responsibilities. He and his supporters seek to disrupt and defame, not govern.

This is what happens you vote Republican.

The real reason the chaos in the House should scare us-

Imagine if the left was as quick to spread lies as the right.

This is clearly satire, but just imagine.

Republicans elected another charlatan. They’re going to seat him, because Kevin doesn’t have the votes for Speaker.

The next thing they’ll do is lament about Hunter’s mythical laptop.
