@RadioFreeTom There's reason this week to believe McCarthy would stick to any deal he made? It may be the best hope, but it still seems a solution that will bite them in the ass anyway.

@atrupar They didn't want a jury in NY. But now it gives them something else to whine about.

@MaxBoot The lesser evil who will still stab them in the back and blame them tomorrow. He lies all the time. How can they trust him? I see the upside, but I also have a vision of Lucy with the football reverberating in my head. Can the Rs get votes for anyone else anyway?

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@jgt1960 @SarahLongwell25 But who would that be? Who is going to get enough votes to win, if McCarthy can keep anyone loyal to himself?

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@SarahLongwell25 If there are sane Rs left, Dems should help them elect someone else who pledges to get the House's business done in a non-partisan way. Otherwise, let the Rs fight it out. It's not like they have a McCarthy alternative anyway, right?

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@SarahLongwell25 I really don't see how they can. He lies about what Democrats say and do constantly. Not exaggerations, not partisan hyperbole, lies. How can they help him if he would continue to completely misrepresent them? It's baffling.

1. The Speaker doesn't need to be a member of the House.
2. There are definitely enough really dumb Republican members, combined with the Democratic caucus, for "Speaker Matt Gertz" to win a majority.

@Timodc You're giving away your expertise again. They need to pay you for such guidance.

@bchadhill @digby56 Oh god, it's Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't it? Someone hated by both Dems and Gaetz. (Still not sure how that would be possible, just musing.)

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@digby56 Condition #1 should be "Stop lying about Democrats". But he'll never do it.

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@rogerkimball Are you this wrong about everything?

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@SarahLongwell25 I bet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did something today. Anything would be more relevant than a debate among people who have zero shot winning a nomination.

@arture2000 @brianstelter @DylanByers Yep, I jumped. Used to love reading WaPo. Then, I did not.

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@mole_at_MAL @brianstelter @KaivanShroff @DylanByers I bet good writers could make the Biden administration interesting. Hacks having trouble?

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@LK_Rigel @brianstelter @DylanByers Oh, if I hadn't already cancelled that would drive me to it.

@prolibshow @MollyJongFast The first thing I thought when I heard the story was "I don't believe it. Trump didn't pay for it. He posed."

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@Timodc I suppose it might be better than the current shit, but Kemp is far from an honorable Republican. He's just enough of an asshole that GA Republicans like him in spite of his Trump views, and he knows it. He's one of the few to realize he doesn't need Trump.

[@[email protected] @zigzaggin]

@Timodc Apparently in this country the only way to get credit for something is to lie and get credit for things you didn't actually do.
