♫ Brave Sir Kevin ran away! Bravely ran away away!
When danger reared its ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled!
Yes, brave Sir Kevin turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Kevin! ♫
Guess Pelosi’s hide-a-way office didn’t bring him enough joy.
That was his hand-picked replacement, not him.
Edit, I was wrong. Sorry.
NO, that was Kevin
No. This is Patrick.
Gave the office to Kevin ya dunce.

I’m not sure what he expected after they had to do the vote 15 times.

That feels like it’s assuming a level of intention and competence that is absolutely not required of Gaetz or other Freedom Caucus members to do what they do.
Russian intelligence will take advantage of what they can get, and they’re quite advantageous indeed, but I doubt payment or blackmail is even necessary.
He said it because we have known for years the GOP takes Russian money. It’s not unthinkable they would give more to certain ppl to get them to sabotage their own caucus.
Do it, Kevin! That will reduce the Republican majority, because House rep vacancies need to be filled by a special election. The governor can’t name an immediate replacement the way it works for Senate vacancies.
I don’t know how long it takes under California to do a special election, but it is some non-trivial duration.
Oh that’s right! McCarthy is from CA… wonder what his district is.
…
Bakersfield. Ahh. Yeah, that tracks.
I once took a road trip through CA. What I remember about Bakersfield is that there was a poster at the train station we checked out, the poster was for “The Oil Experience”.
The armpit of the state. Oil Derricks in megachurch parking lots. Whole place smells. It’s truly awful.
Be careful what you wish for…that would almost ensure a protracted government shutdown.
P sure that’s going to happen anyway.
The MAGA caucus will literally eat their own faces to spite the democrats.
Protracted government shutdown is the end of the US global dominance. Just like Trump, once you cut the purse strings the whole thing comes crashing down.
I doubt it. Too much money involved. But if he quits I hope he goes nuclear on his own team. With receipts.
If he had nukes he would’ve launched 'em by now. He’s got nothing.
Does he have the grey matter faculties to do this tho?
To his credit, that would be the single best thing he’s done for the country in his entire career.
I can’t even blame him for this, I wouldn’t stick around to help someone clean up something they just kicked me out of.
Whittle snowfwake got his feefees hurt…
But I thought Republicans were supposed to fuck those or something?
Nah, they fuck around and find out
This just keeps on getting better. What a twatty twat.
This is an extreme amount of twatness. I approve of this message.
Reducing the Republican majority to really screw the next Speaker while getting some Board position that meets 4x/year for millions of dollars is probably the best way to go out if you’re gonna be ousted as Speaker.
Cave-in McCarthy
McClintock:
“This depends entirely on several of the dissidents to disenthrall themselves from their decision and to repair the damage before it is too late. I appeal to them to act while there is still time.”
Oh, you appeal to them? That’ll work for sure.
One article says he might be resigning the next says he’s going to run for reelection.
Considering he said he was going to be Speaker still, I’m calling bullshit on this.
Pathetic. Just like Paul Ryan and Boehner. Losers can’t just easily wield power so they quit. They weren’t there to represent. They were there for power. Cry and take your ball home loser.
What a pussy.
