Am I missing something here? How is this not the biggest "own goal" they have pulled in recent memory? Now we get to listen to endless whining by liberal media outlets about how evil the new anti-daddy of the week is?

My position is they should have let McCarthy stay in. Nobody liked him, and nobody wanted to work with him. Since the government is deadlocked anyway, I'd rather just leave it that way as a way to stop republican progress.

Of course, that's all predicated on the notion that the Dems and Republicans aren't playing for the same team. Which they are.

It's like when people were like "why is trump golfing all the time?"

Like, do you want him to show up for work and make everything worse?

It's "harm reduction" like the Dems like to pretend they're into, by means of not speeding up fascism. Instead they hit the No2 button in the fascism mobile

I don't think many people want to work with the new speaker, either. He's like the fifth choice, right?

And if the goal was to keep them from doing anything, they got nothing done while the whole leadership crisis sorted itself out.
