SQUATTER OF THE HOUSE: McCarthy prematurely moves into Speaker’s office before any votes
UPDATE: Before we could even go to press, Squatter McCarthy LOST the first round of votes because the GOP is so divided.
House Republicans have made no secret that once the 118th Congress is sworn in, they plan to use their razor-thin majority to slash up all of the things that make our government balanced.
They’ve already threatened to dismantle the Office of Congressional Ethics, waste time on investigating Hunter Biden and impeaching his father, and undo all of the good work House Democrats have done in the first two years of President Joe Biden’s administration.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA via Trump’s colon) is so confident he’ll be elected Speaker, he’s already moved his things into the office. Yes, before he’s officially gotten the gig.
Prematurity is an underlying theme with them MAGA men, huh? Give me the confidence of a traitorous rat bastard white male Republican, please. Also, the full legal immunity, I guess.
Look at this weak mf y’all.

As I write this on Tuesday, traitorous trashbag Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY via a dumpster behind a Friendly’s) has just made the most bullshit nomination speech in Congressional history and George “Catch Me If You Can” Santos is still poised to be sworn in.
But also: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was also nominated to bring his Brooklyn to the House. And he’s got Republicans backing him!
The implosion happening in real time before us and it’s glorious.
Ugh, Elise.

Regardless of who’s Speaker, the GOP is heading into the 118th Congress with nothing but problems and zero solutions. The thought of McCarthy sitting in Nancy Pelosi’s chair makes my flesh crawl.

Next up: watching the GQP eat each other on the taxpayers’ dime.
