GOP Insanity Containment 2: This is the Place. This is the Time, Cowboy.

If the GOP drags this out long enough there is a non-zero chance that santos and a few other criminals get got and the Democrats end up back in the majority

there is no chance McCarthy ends up with the gavel, there is zero chance the GOP rebels back down on this, they have zero to lose.

Is there a non-zero chance that we end up with a rage-induced murder-suicide in the Republican caucus if this goes on long enough?

I was trying to find some odds on this. Polymarket is weird in that there is a huge spread. McCarthy speaker Yes at 42 and No at 75.

Anyone have anything better?

Looks like it’s 65 cents for No on Predictit.

Didn’t even think to check there. I thought they shutdown. Did that not happen?

Not until at least Feb 15 I think.

fellas is it woke to build roads and bridges?

That Carlin line is making the rounds all over rightwing radio.

Feels like the apotheosis of the tea party anti-establishment fever dream.

Of course.

I’d like to hear from Mercedes.

I don’t carry around a list of plausibly gay right wing fanatics, but if I did Schlapp would be highly seeded.

He is quickly rising in the ranks of most punchable faces.

He’s more of a laughing stock than a punchable face.
