55. McCarthy might be blinded by power, but he's not as stupid as we thought

if he can see that his power is over the Klown Kongress and it's tenuous, at best.

Of course he's got little faith in the GOP leadership when it's Jordan, Greene, Boebert, Gosar, Biggs, Boggs, and the rest of the red nose orange wig squad.

I wouldn't change places with him for anything.
