    Start sharing the Revenge porn of each other in the house bathrooms.

    I’m sure Gaetz has been taking some creep pics.

    Great, more trashy republicans to talk about. She’s the new Boebert? Also, that joke wasn’t funny, a traitorous coup isn’t a riot.

        She used to be in a swing district. She won her first election by 1%. Then they gerrymandered the state more, and she won the next by 14%.

        She has just recently leaned into the alt right with gaetz and bannon, so she most likely has polling that is the most politically safe thing for her to do.

    McClintock [concludes], “I modestly suggest that you plan your martyrdom in the only way that truly matters: to have the wisdom to see the damage you have done to our country and to have the courage to set things right before it is too late."

    Pot, kettle.

    I love that Republicans have had absolutely zero policy since basically Nixon and the one time in modern history it really mattered cuz of America’s debt ceiling not only can’t they do it but they fuck up the speaker position on top of it??? Lmfao.

    This is like dunking on your own basket. Or scoring on your own goal.

      I think being funny requires some basic level of intellect. That “Scarlet Letter” stunt was the absolute epitome of dumb! There is no way she read that book and thought, “oh yeah, that’s like the swamp I live in! Gotta make sure I push my point through by admitting to Adulty!”. I know that supposes she can read but give me a fucking break! Is performance of their idiocy equivalent to the level of stupid that have achieved? They have succeeded in unlocking “complete fucking idiot”. What does she really think an “A” on her low neck tshirt means? I would love to hear her Ted talk on that one!

      To be fair, some of her lines were great. She’s a loon, of course, but she has some comedy chops.

      After 15 rounds of voting for McCarthy.

      I mean, come on! But let’s be honest. We all knew that Matt Gaetz would never let the vote get to 18.

      Regarding Gaetz not being there.

      I do have a message from Matt this evening. He really, really wanted to be here tonight, but he couldn’t find a babysitter to be his date.

      Regarding McCarthy’s concessions to win the gavel.

      I haven’t seen someone assume that many positions to appease the crazy Republicans since Stormy Daniels.

      Those are comedy gold.
