Apparently – but who can believe these jabronis about anything? – they ARE looking outside the House membership for a potential Speaker now, so the sky's the limit. Tucker Carlson? Roger Stone? Mike Lindell? Rudy Giuliani? When does Jacob Chansley, the Q-Anon shaman, get out of his halfway house? At least he knows his way around the Capitol Building. Go nuts with it, I say.
Of course, the funniest result would be if they defaulted to Kevin McCarthy again.
Like sometimes the Onion gets beaten to the punch by reality, sad to say Roy’s T*ump is far more lucid than the real thing. Just saying.
Meanwhile, still parsing the Daily Deplorable, still getting a bit of a headache from the headlines trying to get what fact they’re abusing and worse,
Anyway, speaking to reality: is there any RepubliQan capable of getting to 217? And since the Clinically Insane Caucus got what it wants -- a House incapable of functioning, well, I’d go with No but, of course, YMMV.
Kill, Kill, Kill? Reminds me of a verse from Full Metal Jacket:
- Do we love our beloved Corps, ladies?
- Semper fi, do or die. Gung ho. Gung ho. Gung ho.
- What makes the grass grow?
- Blood, blood, blood.
- What do we do for a living, ladies?
- Kill, kill, kill.
- I can't hear you.
- Kill, kill, kill.
- Bullshit. I still can't hear you.
- Kill, kill, kill. (2)
- Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was?
- None of you dumb-asses knows?
- Private Cowboy.
And remember You goddamn communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary, or I'm gonna stomp your guts out! Now you DO love the Virgin Mary, don't you?"
Smart guy, that Trump. After Jim Jordan's face-plant, he's figured out he doesn't have quite enough power over the Republicans to MAKE someone speaker, but he sure as shit has enough power to STOP someone from being speaker. So let's just do that, OK? Over and over for another year, why not?
I saw WaPo’s editorial board called for Democrats to bail out the Insane Clown Caucus. The ensuing comments were brutal. Meanwhile, Portland is too wet right now to burn down. The rain must have also washed all the homeless encampments away. Powells Books is still the only bookstore I’ve known that shelves new and used copies of a book together. Got one with a nice inscription inside from last Christmas - didn’t seem to have been read. One way to support your kids: give ‘em books they can sell.
Jeez, some people appear to be unfamiliar w/ the Hindu Fiend from Gunga Din! Kill for Kali! I suppose some would complain of its insensitive portrayal of the original thug life, but don’t hate the playa, hate the game. Death is sweet!
He really is getting crazier, isn't he? I mean, what Roy has here isn't really that far from where he is in his standard 90 minute Trump Rally speech, right? Which seems like an under-reported thing, like the media and everyone else has just done a collected shoulder-shrug and "Eh, it's Trump, what do you expect?" In about a year he should have reached the stage of "All must die in a cleansing fire." And then be handed the nuclear codes. Oops.
It’s the final scene of the Day of the Locust multiplied by the tearing out of the heart scene of Temple of Doom crossed with Peter Finch in Network times DeNiro in King of Comedy ending with Klaus Kinski as Aguirre on a raft on the Amazon, swarming with monkeys over a dead girl.
Chluthu would be so proud.

It's the tepidity, stupid.
The apotheosis of the Republican party —

I'm gonna take the next couple hours off and just go seethe.
This is really where they're heading isn't it

Yeah, I’m feeling more like this:

So they are two parties now, but since two parties can't get anything done, they are one party that can't get anything done. Got it.

Except much, much worse.
