I was thinking about posting something like "Farewell, Mike Johnson, we barely knew you..."
According to maga-ite logic, Johnson committed the same unpardonable sin as McCarthy.
That sin, of course, being actually taking your job seriously and finding a way to keep the government functioning through a bipartisan compromise. (Even if none of us are terribly happy with said compromise.)
So, the question is why is Matt Gaetz or one of his clown-in-arms not making a motion to vacate the speakership? There are 2 possibilities:
1. Ousting McCarthy was a personal vendetta that had more to do with just not liking the guy than any sort of principle.
2. Even the maga-ites have some microscopic trace of self-awareness, and understand that another weeks long soap opera would (once again) prove the Democrats' point that the GOP is incapable of governing.
I'm guessing a combination of the two, maybe leaning more on #1. Or am I giving the clowns too much credit?
Gaetz sees himself as a MAGA celebrity, not a congressman. And the easiest, most effective way of becoming an A-list MAGA celebrity is to slay a member of the "GOP establishment". The more high-ranking the member, the better. Gaetz couldn't care less about how stupid his stunts make the party look to non-MAGA voters. He has no interest in legislating. He's just there for the attention, and he's getting it.
I hear Gaetz is running for governor of Florida. It would be fun to see him crushed. If he loses he can partner with Tucker and become an idiot talking head
Thanks John you've nailed it again!
Thanks Herb.
