As real as the bad blood and chaos in the GOP is, it feeds a theater where Republicans are crazy people who need to be appeased. And as true as it is that Dems got the best of them here, it’s also the latest in a troubling pattern of paying small ransoms. offmessage.net

McCarthy said publicly that he intended to give Ukraine aid a separate vote like a week ago, and Gaetz is acting like that's exactly what's going to happen. He's obviously not a credible person, but I do find his hatred of Matt Gaetz sincere and I think he'd pass it for that reason alone.
