See, a smart person would just drop the flaming gavel but Kev grabs it with both hands and starts licking it, waiting for it to cool down.

No wonder Boehner is into cannabis.

I know this seems impossible, but his replacement will be worse.

Ahhh. Such a shame. Couldn't have happened to a better person. I bet Gaetz has a person in mind to replace McCarthy...like, say the Jan 6th pipe bomber?

Should we rename Kevin, Neville? After all Chamberlain also took too long to realize what appeasement to bullies gets you.

Out of (approx) 222 GOP House members, 45 are in the Freedom Caucus. 45!

WTF are the other 177 GOP House members doing since they clearly outnumber the Freedom Caucus?

Maybe for those of us, who live in gerrymandered districts and have a GOP Rep member who is NOT a part of the Freedom Caucus, it's time to email or call YOUR Rep and ask him/her WTF are YOU doing? I do it often. Ask them how he/she is allowing 45 members to control their beloved GOP party and ask them when are they going to put COUNTRY over PARTY?

45! That number gives me a migraine!

Like Nixon, " I will stand on your grave to make sure you are dead" (Bob Dylan, Masters of War). We worked hard getting rid of Nixon yet in defeat these trolls will destroys the country just to get the "libs" and stay in power.

It can happen here, just go to Florida....

Oops, thought of another one.

The Freedom Caucus is going to have him with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I’m glad to hear the ethics committee has reopened the investigation into sex pest Gaetz. I can’t believe he’s not guilty.

Oh geez... thank you for the laugh today Jeff, I needed it! lol Funny, I was just yesterday musing about where Paul Ryan is and what he's up to. When he left "to spend more time with his family," I pegged him as being smart enough to get the hell outta Dodge until the Mango Mussolini was out of sight. I still think that's what he's doing. He'll wait until after the 2024 election, then -- mark my words -- he'll be back. While I disagree with him on pretty much every issue, I wouldn't be terrified that he'd accidently drop a nuclear bomb on his own toe the way I feel about so many of them.

Space Laser Three Names as Speaker? Kev did let her play with his gavel once and she got a taste of it.

Interesting that retiring Mitt Romney claims some of the guys who appear to be flaming idiots are actually very intelligent people. If this is true, we have more to be concerned about than monkeys running the zoo. If these are very intelligent people then we’re being played in a game we don’t even see. I sure hope Mitt is wrong.

Kevin has always been a horse’s ass. No surprise that he’s sucking up to the loons in his party. It’s not going to end well for him and the sane among us will have to bite the bullet for it. On the other hand, I’m glad to see him between a rock and a hard place.

Always glad to hear the latest crazy news from you. No sugar coating. In the meantime, what are softie democrats doing to show those MAGATS what Joe Biden has accomplished so far? This election will decide if we keep our almost 250 years democracy for God’s sake! All they worry about is his age helping those crazies with the notion that he’s unfit. Compared with the indicted multiple times, seditionist, rapist, with the intellect of a toddler GOP choice? If you haven’t seen the latest Lincoln Project video ad, please do.

Good old Jar Jar McCarthy. What an impotent fool.

I just have to tell you, Uncle Jeff, I really appreciate your posts on a number of different levels and they're one of the first things I read on my email in the morning.
