So, let me get this straight. The two top contenders for McCarthyโ€™s spot are either 1) the guy who covered up cases of molestation while an assistant wrestling coach or 2) the guy who said he is David Duke of the KKK but without the baggage? Got it.

I mean, can you name someone in their caucus who you couldn't come up with a sentence like that about?

If I'd written a dystopian science-fiction novel or game about our current situation in 1990, people would have thought it was social satire.

Are we looking at in the right way? I mean JJ covered up hundreds of cases over decades: doesn't that show a real commitment to established systems? And SS embodies some serious American traditions. Real old school values. No. We were right in the first place, they both are the worst.

Terrifying thought: what if they vote for Trump to be the House Speaker? That would make him third in line if something happened to Biden and Kamala. Truly scary. They must not be allowed to vote him in.

(2) is a very odd claim, since removing the baggage from David Duke would just leave you with nothing but an empty skin suit.

"Be careful what you wish for,you might just get it." The Dems were stuck between a rock and a hard place when it came to vote out McCarthy. But since it's now gonna be a choice of evils. Scalise or Jordan,either way, it's gonna be a nightmare.
