So they all deserve to get hit with the 14th since they openly abdicated their duty to uphold the constitution? Got it.
It’s amazing anyone still tries to push election denialism much less is able to parlay it into a House seat.   It’s not just the lack of evidence but the testimony from the faux news personalities and others saying they knew all along the narrative was false. >

If you live in the MAGA/FoxNews/OAN bubble you’ve heard little to no information which refutes the election lie, and you’ve certainly heard nothing of the admissions.  And the little factual information that does seep into the bubble is, of course, discarded as “fake news.” >

To quote John Lovett on today's events, "why can't these insurrectionists agree on a leader?" >

I read that as John Lovitz and was confused. >

Acting! >

And I'm reaping all the benifits >

“Put us into key committee/positions so that we can protect our asses from culpability and also simultaneously launch BS investigations to show the world Hunter Biden’s junk…or else! Plus we get to fire you anytime we want!” - 10% of the party demanding no less than 90% of the power. >

And he's already given them basically 90% of what they demand. Proving once again that you can NEVER appease fascists. >

Who could have seen it coming?  The people who stomp their feet and fabricate conspiracies when things did not go the way they want, stomp their feet and fabricate conspiracies to get what they want?
I honestly thought most GOP leaders who were election deniers were just manipulative.  As this dives deeper into the depths of absurdities, I really think they're just... Dumb. >

They're the true believers, brought to you by Roger Ailes. If you notice, most of them are the new generation of fascists that have had nothing but Fox News headlines injected in their brains for 20+ years now.
The old guard didn't let the new guard in on the joke that the chaos was supposed to be a cover for millionaire tax cuts. Now we got a bunch of culture warrior insurrectionists in congress. Ignorant doesn't even begin to describe them, but it's most definitely a feature and not a bug. >

Just think Kevin, all you had to do is condemn these assholes two years ago and back Article 14 votes and you'd be Speaker right now. >

Likely with a much bigger majority too >

Just say you won Kevin. Just say the election was rigged and you won. >

Worked so well for everyone else that's tried it. >

The GOP congress is full of election deniers so you could basically change the first part of this title to anything they do over the next two years. >

Most of the McCarthy supporters in the House voted against certifying the 2020 election result.
What's left in the GOP are fascists, sycophants, and pathological liars. >

The Republican party has begun to split between two factions:


The neo-conservatives who just want to defund the government and turn over all functions of the state to corporate feudalists.


And fascists who will use violent force the first chance they get.


Republicans used to be the party of Lincoln. Look how they massacred his legacy. >

The last 6 or 7 years have been a scary warning of how easily these traitors could take over if they weren’t, without exaggeration, the stupidest motherfuckers. >

Could? >

The stupidpolers are acting like this proves the efficacy of force the vote and does not in fact make Republicans look like a party unable to govern and are willing to blow up the entire government to stick it to Kevin McCarthy. >

This is a continuation of January 6th. >

Does someone nominate Trump for speaker from the floor tomorrow? Just for the lolz? >

All but two are known election deniers. >

Is there a Democrat who could run, in place of Hakeem Jeffries, who might peel away enough Republican votes to steal the leadership post? >

It's more likely that they'd settle on a compromise Republican candidate that isn't actually a sitting member of Congress (it's never been expressly required that the Speaker be a sitting member). The idea that any Republicans are going to vote for a Dem is a long shot, unless this public shaming of McCarthy continues to historic levels. >

I think they’d be more likely to settle on a compromise candidate who is a member of Congress. That’s likely far more palatable given the dangers of starting to offer the speakership to a non-member.
