  I wish natural selection would play out better.
context: I wonder if the MAGA plan on nominating Trump to the speakership. >
  
  I thought rather than denying the election for the last two years, appointing Trump Speaker of the House was the easiest way to backdoor him back into the Presidency.  He could stay in the spotlight, bloviating and pretending to be relevant and it puts him next in line for the Presidency after VP Harris.  So strategy would be to go all hands on deck impeaching Biden and Harris then instant President.
  They'd never be able to pull it off, but I was surprised nobody ever seemed to even float the idea. >
  
  I feel like I saw that around a bit until people pointed out that, as Speaker, Trump would actually have to show up to stuff and do work. >
  
  They (majority of republican politicians) do not want him around at all. Some will say it publicly, but many many more behind closed doors. The party in general knows they need to get away from that loser. His luster is gone. Making him the speaker will not be good for them in any way. They know he's an idiot and wouldn't be able to function in that role. He would mess up everything like he's done his whole entire life. No ability to bargain or compromise, even with members of his own party. >
  
  If Trump were a tee shirt, he’d be full of tattered, raggedy holes, some with grimy pea-soup-colored edges that are a little crusty and yet moist at the same time. The bottom third would smell from all the grasping hands of low-life mental deficients (think Giuliani and Eastman and Stone and, extra ew, Bannon) who pride themselves in being unclean. “Toss that tee in the wash, you say?” It’d disintegrate … not enough fiber remains. Ew. >
  
  He looked that way to me in 2015. I didn't know how stupid so many people were until then. They couldn't see how pathetic and obviously stupid he is. He makes used car salesmen look like fiduciaries. Who loses in the Casino business? No amount of quick mob money laundering beats the return on a successful casino. >
  
  Biggs isn't any better. He voted right along with Greene, Gaetz, Gosar, Gohmert, Boebert, Roy, Norman, and Massie. He's McCarthy wearing a different tie.
  He is a multi-millionaire who earned his riches the old fashion way … through blind luck. Back in 1993, Biggs was handed a $10 million check by Ed McMahon and Dick Clark as the winner of the American Family Sweepstakes. >
  
  Wow this is terrifying. >
  
  Way to start off... internal fights.  The GOP is a cluster-F. >
  
  The chaos they are creating is going to be the top line in the campaigns against them in 2024.
  The crazies are likely to keep their seats, but the Toss Up, and Lean-R districts are going to go blue. >
  
  Imagine thinking this Trump sucking chode isn't far right enough.. >
  
  I would not say that this is a promising start for their majority. >
  
  Nelson haha.gif >
  
  And I thought Spicer was bright. >
  
  Lol >
  
  
  Those lawmakers’ demands have included allowing any one member to force a vote on the House floor to depose a speaker.
  
  Why would you want that ever? But especially on your own party? >
  
  One thing is clear - if Mccarthy pulls this off he will have many owners. >
  
  McCarthy is basically going to have to show up every day in a MAGA hat. Otherwise they aren't going to vote for him. >
  
  What an episode for The West Wing. Hey Sorkin, hope you’re writing! >
  
  "Let's give the crazies some power and see what happens!" >
  
  I don't know about you guys but I'm super psyched for the "Will Be Wild" rally that Pelosi is holding tomorrow so she can stop Cons from taking power. Be at the Capitol at 11:30 AM!! >
  
  Do we have any evidence than another R is actively plotting a serious play to be Speaker? >
  
  That’s my curiosity as well. If not McCarthy, then who? There doesn’t seem to be another obvious candidate.
