A former Director of the CIA has today called for the assassination of a US Senator. Thank god for the return to normalcy in US politics.

McCarthy wouldn’t know strength if he spent a year on the world’s most potent steroids. If I were him I’d be too embarrassed to ever be on camera again after being historically ousted as house speaker by a man from his own party who is currently under an ethics investigation for *allegedly* flying underaged girls over state lines to his hotels.

They have wanted him gone for some time out of pure self-interest. There aren't a lot of safe Republican seats in New York state, and none of them want the guilt by association.Some Republicans finally showing a bit of spine...

The problem is that the governor of New York would appoint someone to fill out Santos' term, and that someone would be a Democrat. If the governor of New York were a Republican, Santos probably would have been told to resign or face explusion from the House a long time ago.

Daft that, at least do a bit of popcorn and put Liz Cheney back in there
Rep. Nancy Mace Is on a Tourist Visa to MAGAland
Her actions could be called playing both ends against the middle, except there is no middle to the Republican caucus in the House.
Needs to get to 117, 3 of his votes are from delegates who cannot vote on the floor.
Mace, 42, told The Post and Courier she met with Scalise in November. She welcomed his support on Wednesday, and pointed to it as a sign that she is the candidate who can unify Republicans as they seek to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham in the fall.

We have a better chance of winning the league this season than Scalise has of getting to 217 right now. Jordan can't get there either.
I see a deadlocked Republican conference as having two options. They can collectively agree to let Patrick McHenry run the show with the interim tag, where it only takes a few defectors to check him on any given issue, or they can start engaging in political assassinations (of the career variety). They could leverage Democratic votes to expel members, starting with Gaetz, and partner with Republican governors to replace them with saner politicians until the rest get the picture.
One option seems a lot more likely to happen than the other.

This stuff is truly terrifying. We've been dumbing down public schools/educational standards for decades.
