5. Boehner set that up perfectly.

Boilerplate GOP blah-blah-blah, then 'P.S ... '

[Cha]

7. lol right!

[speak easy]

9. And I liked the anger and aggression with which he said it.

McCain is reported to have said - If someone murdered Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was held in the Senate, no serving Senator would vote to convict them.

11. Turns out it was..

Graham..

As described in this Washington Post article from 2017

“The Senate has a long history of bashing Ted Cruz, one of its own:”

“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said during the 2016 Republican primaries. Sure, Graham was a Jeb Bush guy, but Cruz was still a candidate in his own party.

And Graham wasn't the only one. Sen. John McCain once called Cruz a “wacko bird” on the Senate floor. John A. Boehner, then the Republican speaker of the House, called Cruz a “jackass” at a Colorado fundraising event in 2015.

13. Oh. I don't quote Lindsey Graham on anything.

Damn. I liked that joke.

14. When Lindsey talks like that

about a fellow RepubliCon but speaks glowing praises of "He-Who-Is-Finally-Gone," I'm only further convinced that Donnie has some really nasty pictures of Lindsey stashed away somewhere.....

4. Remember How We Used To Hate Boehner, And Were Thrilled When He Left The House?

Now he looks reasonable. But does anybody really think he voted for a single Democrat in the last election?

[Cha]

8. Oh yeah.. I was thinking

of that when I posted.. I called him "Boner".

16. We can still hate him while wholeheartedly embracing his sentiments

about Cruz. I still wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, but in this one instance, he isn't wrong.

6. A person

has to be rotten to the core when even most of his colleagues (former and current) in his own party hate him.

[quakerboy]

10. so pretty much every elected republican?

12. The power of alcohol!

Boehner sure lets it fly after a few glasses of wine.
