We're about 3 weeks from the GOP pretending that none of this controversy even happened. Oh, to be living in a post-truth era, ain't it grand.
He didn't actually get those committee seats, he just put them on his resume...
/S >

Double dicked him! >

Well given all his Nobel Prizes and the fact that he’s CEO of so many Fortune 500 companies that only makes sense. >

He’s also the only Super Bowl winning President to visit Jupiter’s surface. >

And his cure for cancer also solved world hunger, take that liberal media. >

He's the current and future mayor of space.
That's one the libs never like to admit. >

This is so typical of the GOP's rejection of science and reason.
Calling them the idiocracy is actually an insult to idiocrats. >

They're doing this on purpose. He's useful to their goal of humiliating the government, then using that humiliation as justification to dismantle it and get it replaced by private enterprise. >

We are being tortured as a society by delinquent, narcissistic, psychopaths who work for the government playing games with our lives like how you describe, I truly believe it. 
It's extremist, militant conservatives doing this too. They think they are smart that even their evil strategies are somehow righteous and beneficial. >

I saw some dude wearing a "Make Taxation Theft Again" t-shirt the other day and started questioning what the hell happened to make people this dense. >

Just so pathetic. Republicans still have majority in the house so this is the easiest softball to throw to look at least a LITTLE responsible and they can’t even do that. Was keeping him on one of those secret conditions Kevin had to make to win Speaker? >

By the end of that shit show I'm sure Kevin was agreeing to just about anything to get it done. Which is why Gaetz and MTG will have the shiniest most well licked boots in the chamber for the next couple years >

This is what happens when you make a Minion the Speaker of the House. 
FYI: Liz Truss only lasted 6 weeks in the UK. I don’t think Kevin will make it that long. >

I think Kevin will last awhile. Any republican member can start the vote of no confidence, but you'll still need a majority of the caucus to actually remove him. There were 19-20 holdouts that caused a problem with him becoming Speaker. And some of those didn't even dislike Mccarthy, they just wanted some rules changes.
I don't think McCarthy will lose the support of another 100 members all that soon. >

Don’t need 19-20. There are 212 Democrats and 222 Republicans. If one Republican calls for the no confidence vote, Kevin is down to 221 with probable 213 voting against him. So it goes back to the same numbers Rerun Kevin had getting confirmed. >

Yes, but who would replace him?  Unlike the confirmation a motion to vacate only brings the vote to the floor, it doesn't stop all house business.  If the Republican caucus had a clear candidate the job never would have been given to Kevin, to begin with.  
I suppose it is possible for some of the centermost Democrats to break with their party and a collation of moderates to form behind someone else.  I don't see why anyone would do that, particularly if the goal is to obstruct Biden's agenda for the next 2 years as much as possible.  Why take the political risk and paint a target on your back? >

I have a sliver of hope that the slim GOP House majority will indeed lead to what you suggest — moderates working across the aisle. 
Debt ceiling is when I suspect this is most likely to happen. >

I wouldn't hold my breath.  My guess is the freedom caucus drags this debt ceiling debate out until the last moment into the summer before coming to the table after some nonsense compromise is reached.  
Even if a bipartisan speaker is selected I don't see what will fundamentally change. >

He's a master of the science of lying and the business of fraud. >

I’d argue he’s more of a novice considering how exposed he is but still funny 😅 >

faked those qualifications too >

Makes sense, considering the amount of respect Republicans have for both small business owners and science. >

I'm tired of politicians pandering to small business owners, while pretending small business employees don't even exist. Seriously, when was the last time you saw someone address small business employees as an actual group of people in America? They're completely invisible, and yet they get the short end of so many sticks. Small business owners get all kinds of exemptions on things larger businesses are required to provide for their workers. And their employees don't get any sort of replacement for those things. The people who can least afford to take a loss end up taking the whole loss, and nobody talks about them and nobody cares. The main thing is ensuring that the boss is able to afford a sports car. >

I’m not the type that goes around wanting to punch people, but every picture of this guy immediately sets off my “that guy needs to be punched in the face” alarm. Picture doesn’t need a caption or anything. >

May I present to you one of the most awesome and perfect words in the German language? “Backpfeifengesicht.” Google it — you’ll love it. >

You think they are going to look into ethics violations?
They literally just muzzled the committee so it is now harder to enforce. They made it easier to get away with shit. Because they know they are about to do some shady ass shit! >

Different ethics committee though. >

As a career Federal Employee, I am 110% certain that if I were to have fabricated even a quarter of what Santos has fabricated, and was found out, that I would no longer be a Federal Employee. >

Republicans don’t give the slightest shit about the country. >

oh did somebody think Republicans had shame?
Grover norquist and Ronald Reagan told you about how they wanted to destroy the federal government. why are the American people so stupid that they think these goons will act in good faith for the country's interest...
I would say we lucked out that the people that wanted to destroy the government are so stupid but as it turns out there's still considerably smarter than most of the country. >

Meanwhile, Democrats were historically anti-war and are currently huge fans. >

Yup, they think science and religion are the same, just a bunch of lies—no wonder they award the seat to the professional liar. >

Well he did invent science and business so it makes sense >

And Margie trailerpark Green is on homeland security and oversight…I’m going to tune out a while. This is just fucking dark. >

If the lying congressman can scam his donors out of a condo in Brazil & an undisclosed $750,000.00 he clearly belongs on the Big Business committee... >

Some reports say his donor knew exactly who he was giving money too.
