McCarthy thanked the most powerful domestic terrorist in America for his help in securing his speakership.
Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) blasted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a new interview this week, calling the California lawmaker a "piece of sh*t" who will "say whatever he needs to say to stay in power."  
Kinzinger called McCarthy a "piece of sh*t" while casting doubt that McCarthy would remove embattled Rep. George Santos from his committee assignments given the party's narrow majority in the chamber. >

I’m sure most of voters for Santos feel betrayed. It’s a swing district so there’s a good chance it will go Democratic so definitely not. >


voters for Santos feel betrayed

...hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amok and flat out deceived. >

I understand from a voters perspective but how did the democrats not uncover this prior to election day? Seems like pretty poor campaign management. >

He’s a republican. How did the GOP (ya know, the party he’s joining) not properly vet him as a candidate? >

How is the gop not in charge here? 
Couldn’t they revoke his r status and make him an independent?
At the end of the day this falls on the R’s. It’s their party he’s a part of. >

Pretty much every fucked up aspect of this stupid ass country falls on the R's.  They don't give a fuck. >

It's Friday. Perhaps a motion to remove him as speaker is in order? >

Pledge, prayer, motion to remove the speaker. >

He's just not ready to be president of the Ag hall. >

Grade-A piece of shit >

5.15 inches from the base. >

Allegedly >

Kinzinger's fellow former IL GOP REP Rodney Davis thinks the same thing, but he's too cowardly to say it.  Rodney Davis.  Dude got to congress attacking "Obamacare", couldn't find a spine during Trump and lost his primary to someone who literally fawned on Hitler. >

Fucking hate Rodney Davis >

CNN brought him on during the Speaker votes and it was yucky!  The man lost a Hitler lover and she voted against McCarthy for speaker.  LMAO! >

Kinzinger - the only truthful republican.   Disagree on his politics, but can't call him a liar like the rest. >

Same.  There are some decent Republicans.  Can't agree with their politics, but they don't want to see the country burn. Which I think is a good quality in a politician. >

Many of the decent Republicans are being pushed out by the lunatic far right.  Moderates need to take back their party. >

A majority of Republicans are the lunatic far right. That's how the lunatic far right has taken over.
The only way out is if the moderates leave the Republican Party and it dies like the Whigs so that something better can take its place. >


A majority of Republicans are  the lunatic far right.

I think the majority is letting the looney-toons drive the party. >

The majority support Trump. >

McCarthy's hair is definitely slicked back. >

The leader of the Dangerous Nights crew. >

Lives for New Year's Eve. >

Sloppy steaks at Gervanni's. >

I used to be a piece of shit.  People can change! >

Damn I like Kinzinger more each day! >

If only he would realize conservatism is a bankrupt ideology and become a liberal. Then he'd make for a great Democrat. >

From a European perspective, most of the Democrats are pretty conservative anyhow, while the GOP clearly resembles any fascist party. >

That is actually incorrect. Based on independent analysis (from the Germany-based Manifesto Project; I can provide a chart if necessary, but it's a hassle to get to), the Democratic Party is a pretty normal center-to-center-left party (similar to the Lib Dems in the UK and Labor in Australia, and to the left of Canada's Liberals).
But American Republicans are so far right compared to even the rightmost mainstream conservative parties, it makes it incredibly hard for Democrats to actually act on their ideology. (Which is why you see Democrats seizing opportunities they DO get to do as much as possible, like when Democrats got a trifecta in Virginia for the first time in decades and passed more significant legislation in 2 years than had been passed in the 20 before.)
The polarization of the two major parties in America is unlike pretty much any other developed country. The only other one I can think of is Brazil. >

That has a good graph taken from the Manifesto Project, but it's, unfortunately, paywalled. :(
