  “Watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel-It’ll be hard not to hit her with it”
  -k McCarthy
context: McCarthy is now so thoroughly compromised and beholden to opposing forces that he's bound to a hell hole of his own making. >
  
  He will essentially be speaker in name only. He has given up just about everything.
  Funny thing is, he probably could have given up less and already been speaker if just reached across the aisle instead of pandering the to extreme terrorist wing of his party. >
  
  He can't.  He and his colleagues drove off Boehner for working collaboratively with Obama.  Boehner and Obama built a relationship that had to be shut down because the party felt it was some sort of betrayal.  McCarthy and his colleagues are a part of the reason of the hyperpartisanship now and it's come to haunt him as he simply can't walk across the room to Jeffries and ask to talk in private to toss some thoughts out. 
  It's become a GOP culture norm to not compromise and double down.  No matter who or how much it harms the greater good of many or the country - they won't compromise or negotiate. >
  
  Fucking Newt Gingrich >
  
  Can't mention Newt without a shout out to Ken Starr. >
  
  Every turd needs some corn >
  
  Just like every rose has its thorns >
  
  Hope that doctor is a burn specialist >
  
  Painful elections or elections lasting more than four hours can be serious. >
  
  This is gold >
  
  It is now. >
  
  I think we all need to take a moment to just bask in it. Let that pun really get into your pores and live there for a while. >
  
  "Emotional Damage" >
  
  “I will send you to Jesus.” >
  
  "Failure" >
  
  "What the hail you say?" >
  
  Hey, I know these☝ >
  
  She’s enjoying this more than anyone I think. >
  
  I think its vindication for her after how they treated her all those years and her husband. I love that she gets the last laugh. >
  
  Physically assaulting her with what amounts to a ceremonial hammer, after her husband was assaulted with a hammer. Yeah, GOP are this big of pieces of shit that they think this is acceptable mockery. >
  
  It was before the attack, but yeah. >
  
  My b, I only ever started to hear that, umm, threat(?) by McCarthy recently. >
  
  I looked it up out of curiosity and it was in 2021 but goddamn it's terrible.
  here's a clip where you can hear him say it. this makes him losing so much sweeter. >
  
  This is how you say “oh, bless his heart” in Pelosi >
  
  I'm so glad she got to stick around in person to savor this bat-shit craziness.
  It's like watching the new guy at work who thinks he knows everything but is really a fuck up and starts crying at his desk. >
  
  "Ever had that fantasy where you quit your old job and the whole workplace goes up in flames? Pelosi is living that fantasy right now." >
  
  Man, boomers get everything! >
  
  Nancy is silent gen. >
  
  Is that similar to being a flapper? >
  
  Luckily for Kevin, he has access to some of the best health care in the nation, and it’s all tax payer funded! You go see that psych Kevin, while the rest of America struggles to even get an appointment. >
  
  Does he? I believe they don't get paid so would their benefits even apply? >
  
  I’m pretty sure members of congress get some form of government health care even after they are out of office (though, iirc it is a little different than while they hold office). >
  
  They get health insurance through the DC ACA exchange, 75% funded by the government, the rest of the premiums paid by them (same as all other federal employees). And no healthcare when they’re out of office. >
  
  Hey! I have to pay 30%!  So not the same as all government employees 
  That is very interesting I did not know about their insurance >
  
  Jackals don’t feel a lot of shame based on my BBC viewing experience. >
  
  Forgot for a minute about the British broadcasting company, made this comment really weird. >
  
  You might need to take a break from the internet. >
  
  You mean I should see BBCs at a local sketchy porn theater instead? >
  
  If you still have a sketchy local porn theater you should treasure it, those are hard to come by. >
  
  So far it's still there, despite the local government doing everything they can to get rid of it... >
  
  His feet must look so tiny in her shoes… if he only gets to try them on. >
  
  We're not in Kansas anymore, and wretched Kevin is an amalgam of the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly lion - without a heart, a brain, or courage. >
  
  Or a fucking clue. McCarthy thought this was going to be a cake walk because Pelosi did it with grace. He has no idea how to lead and thought it was no work because he had shook all the "right" hands while Pelosi didn't expect it to come naturally and worked for it AND maintained it. >
  
  Pelosi never lost the vote. She had the confidence of her whole party. Must be embarrassing for this clown. >
  
  
  Pelosi never lost the vote.
  
  She also had the discipline to count the votes before bringing anything to the floor. >
  
  The first time, sure - it was stupid of him to assume he had it without checking. But in subsequent votes, it does not strain my credulity to think the likes of Boebert and Gaetz would just lie to the whip. I can easily picture them saying they have acquiesced just to get another opportunity to go out and burn McCarthy on the house floor again. They are getting maximum attention from the press right now and I'm sure they want to keep this going as long as they can. >
  
  Boebert said she'd vote for "Kevin" and voted for a different one, so that literally happened. >
  
  She voted for Kevin the minion, and said “no, the actual minion”. >
  
  Nancy Pelosi has graduated from Speaker of The House to Speaker of The Shade >
  
  That sounds like a fantasy series that I'd happily read >
  
  If we can have Biden/Obama fanfic hitting the new york times bestseller lists, then I DEMAND some quality Pelosi fanfiction. >
  
  He has to buy the office, he has no power left >
  
  He just wants to say he was a house speaker. He doesn't care if he immediately gets recalled. He wants a photo and to put it on his resume when he applies for private sector jobs. He has no policy except pandering to try and gain power. It's been funny seeing this bite him in the ass. I hope he can't get the votes, and this keeps dragging >
  
  Just remember:
  If the GOP cannot agree on Speaker of the House, how will they agree on any bills that come up for a vote.
  The next 2 years is going to be a joke.
  Great job USA. Thanks for keeping us the laughing stock on the world stage. They only reason any country takes us seriously is because of our military power. >
  
  We knew the next two years would be a joke the second the GOP was projected to take control of the House. >
  
  Love her or hate her, there is no denying that she fires off some of the funniest, most scathing insults at conservative dipshits >
  
  Lmao! I was just wondering yesterday what she thinks of this shit show and she did not disappoint. >
  
  Women kicking shitty men while they’re down with very neutral and nonchalant statements is the 2023 trend I’m loving and hope it continues. First Greta with her pizza box recycling tip and now Nancy. Hope Liz Cheney gets to burn Trump soon as a reward for her effort. >
  
  It's probably because if they even slightly lose their cool then they're labeled emotional or irrational. 
  
  Hope Liz Cheney gets to burn Trump soon as a reward for her effort.
  
  She had a good one during the midterms. I can't remember who it was at, though. >
  
  Kari Lake. It was pretty great. >
  
  What did she say? >
  
  She tweeted at Kari Lake. >
  
  Brutal. Love it! >
  
  Nancy up there like Waldorf and Statler just watching the show and chucking out insults while cackling like a hyena >
  
  The Queen of Shade 😂 say what you will about Pelosi, McCarthy is nothing compared to her >
  
  My concern is that McCarthy is such a spineless douche he'll cave and give the Nazi caucus everything they want just so he can have a fancy title. >
  
  "Quick! Call the burn unit!" >
  
  She might be right. What is it called when you keep trying the same thing expecting different results? Insanity? >
  
  It’s called a McCarthy >
  
  She’s so snarky.  I’m gonna miss her >
  
  iTs A hEaLtHy DeBaTe!
  🤡 >
  
  He’ll curl up on Donny’s lap. >
  
  He has no soul and no shame. He won’t need anything. >
  
  Don't worry, worldfamous psychiatrist George Santos surely can help him >
  
  Mccarthy has no respect because he gave it all away for a name plaque and an oil painting. >
  
  What a weaksauce take.  Clearly she should have said "McCarthy might need a skin graft for his lips after all the ass-kissing he's been doing and a blood transfusion given how many times he's been stabbed in the back by his own party this week." >
  
  Off, she's so brutal. I love it. >
  
  Pelosi giving big Mallory Archer vibes >
  
  I never cared for ~~Gob~~ Kevin. >
  
  So many headlines saying your a loser must give you a complex. >
  
  NP coming in for the kill 😂 >
  
  But will she use the gavel to finish him off? >
  
  If he doesn't now he certainly will after the loony tunes start calling in the favors he promised to get their vote. >
  
  McCarthy has had to promise plum committee assignments to get some R’s to switch and vote for him. I heard he had to promise to make Jim Jordan the new Head of Child Protective Services… >
  
  he might need a burn doctor. >
  
  No means no, Kevin >
  
  Spicy Pelosi >
  
  Democrats right now really need to stop talking about this and go the way of Biden. You don’t have to say anything when they are doing all the work for you. It will just come back to haunt you. Just stop. Don’t give them a single inch, because they’ll take a mile. Stop. >
  
  This, very much this. Fucking try being the bigger person for a change. But no, the pendulum swings. Someone on one side stoops low, the other side pisses and moans about how terrible it is. Rinse, repeat. It's always that meme of Spiderman pointing at his clone. >
  
  Wouldn’t it be lovely if someone just had enough of the BS and nominated a moderate. And they won without concessions to the crazy. And then we’d get to watch Mcarthy do the walk of shame out of that office. And they whole whackado group gets to sit there and fume at the problem they’d made for themselves. 
  I’d actually prefer a coalition government, but then we’d have to go through this shit show every other day of the week. >
  
  I think that he's half savant and doesn't really understand what's happening. >
  
  He's mastered the idiot half of the idiot savant dynamic. >
  
  fuck thats a good one, I'm stealin' it. >
  
  She must be taking tranquilizers to keep her hysterical laughter fits in check >
  
  He has needed a psychiatrist for a long time before this petty power play. >
  
  You don’t need a doctor honey, you need a mortician. >
  
  He's definitely going to need treatment for these burns >
  
  Just gonna imagine Kevin McCarthy with a bowl of ice cream in pajamas all weekend doing a good, long John Boehner style cry. >
  
  But a psychiatrist is a doctor…? >
  
  A Doctor for the sick burns he's getting. >
  
  Thoughts and prayers >
  
  Damn! I love her! >
  
  Old Nancy will be at Kevin's funeral, even if she's died years before. >
  
  They were Just running out the clock on January 6th it would have been more awkward to have immediate confirmation of Kevin McCarthy then have to sit down and face January 6th calmly. Now they can show their constituents that the guys that attack the hill on January 6th are fighters like they are put that in your pipe and smoke it. >
  
  The GOP should come with a biohazard warning, or at least we should put a Mr. Yuk sticker on it. >
  
  Well, he is a Republican, which means a psychiatrist is LONG overdue. Mental illness on that side is well off the charts. >
  
  The Pelosi shade is, as always, amazing >
  
  Whoever the house figures out to put in the speaker shoes, they're some damn big shoes to fill. Pelosi was phenomenally good at her job, as we can now see in contrast how shit hard it is. She got work done in the house. >
  
  Paging Dr Oz >
  
  She’s so effective with words. Makes other politicians look amateurish sometimes. >
  
  The sheer volume of times McCarthy said “I’m gonna take her gavel away!” should make this very enjoyable for Pelosi. >
  
  I know Nancy does insider trading stuff but am I wrong to like her because I do. I feel like she’s level headed but I’m Canadian so perhaps I’m out to lunch >
  
  Fun fact... Psychiatrists ARE Doctors... >
  
  psyche=soul
  iater=doctor >
  
  LOL Nancy always has the best burns. >
  
  Yeah well McCarthy has held more speaker votes than Pelosi ever had, so who's laughing now??
  All of us. We're all laughing at the Grand Obstruction Party. >
  
  The most hated of the Democrats' ploys by Republicans:  Care and concern. >
  
  "So unfair. It's sad, really." >
  
  No, but he does need to move out of the Speakers office. >
  
  Sick burn lol what a bunch of old morons, almost all of them >
  
  That might not be as mean as it sounds. I don't like the guy or his politics, but being subjected to national ridicule and losing 12 votes in the eyes of the world has got to fuck with your head and heart more than a bit. If I imagine myself in that situation, I'd have said "fuck it" after the first or second vote. >
  
  Stick the knife in Mrs. Pelosi.  
  He deserves it. >
  
  Bad timing unfortunately as he says he'll have the votes tonight after selling out. >
  
  He’s been saying that for weeks.  We shall see. >
  
  I was the 6666 upvote! >
  
  He will certainly need to see a proctologist to address those blunt force injuries.
