Failing upwards

[cilla4progress]

The McCarthy debacle is a microcosm of the racism and classism that elevates an incompetent limp dishcloth of a man who loves his own essence beyond all, and who rose to position by default. By absence - no shows - literally.

That he thinks he has the class and wit and eloquence to match Hakeem Jeffries .. or that he doesn't need to because, let's face it, he's flatly an entitled placeholder.

Be careful what you ask for Kev. And you are well-advised to strap in.

1. A clear example of Shit Floats in the GOP

[Walleye]

2. He thinks he got there due to his own merit. That's a major mistake right there

[bdamomma]

3. Those

extremists have him by the crotch. Speaker in name only. Now the stealing begins. Chaos=stealing.

7. No, they don't have him by the crotch

Y'all don't get it.

If the r thugs can't get their act together enough to vote FOR him without a humiliating spectacle, what makes you think they'll have enough votes AGAINST him?

And remember: McCarthy will be in charge, so he won't give them 15 chances at it. They get one chance, and then, when he's still standing (which he will be), they have to start all over from scratch again with a whole new complaint. And that will go down in flames, too.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

This is what happens when you have not only a slim majority to work with, but also factions within the party who increasingly hate each other's guts. And I promise you that the McCarthy supporters hate--and I mean HATE--the Traitor Caucus. And vice versa.

4. They say cream rises to the top, but so does scum.

QED.

5. Isn't that the typical GOP path to success?

[cilla4progress]

6. Yep.
