    Siding with this cuck is never going to be the play. He wants to oust McCarthy but only to replace him with someone more extreme. Better to let these idiots keep having a gasoline fight than to pick the literal pedophile nazi caucus in some misguided attempt to resolve this issue.

    Let the country see which side is consistently driving them off a cliff. Many won’t care. But others will take notice.

      ….than to pick the literal pedophile nazi caucus

      They already did that with house speaker Dennis Hastert (R ).

        Pedophilia issues aside, the Neocon Republicans that put Hastert in power hardly resemble today’s quasi-fascist Republicans.

      Won’t this result in them kicking Mccarthy out, and then failing over and over and over to vote on someone new, utterly paralyzing themselves into a parapetic fit? Do they block government of they can’t get a speaker voted in?

        Well they would need to unify their entire party to get the votes needed and they’ve proven they can’t do that. So whichever literal nazi they suggest won’t even come close to getting the votes.

        So certainly what could happen is mckkkarthy comes crawling to the democrats to try and get their vote which isn’t happening without major concessions. He might succeed but best of luck when it comes time for reelection. They’ll call him a traitor to their republican nazi cause and vote in someone twice as fascist and racist.

        In either case the most important thing is we keep hammering home the truth. These people are traitors to this nation. They have consistently shown they cannot handle these positions of power and will outright try to overthrow democracy if they don’t get their way. Don’t let up on that message. Make sure all the rural fucks in Idaho and Ohio hear it. The message has to be louder then their closet pedophile uncle Carl’s Facebook posts that suggest the opposite. It’s not that hard.
