Fascist swine bastard and liar comparable to Donald Trump, Wayne Allyn Root, appears to be fully in favour of Donald Trump for Speaker of the House, which he thinks would lead to devastating Republican triumph and a rout for the commie Marxists like Biden. A pretty strong indication that it would actually mean disaster for the GOP, so why not? Go for it. Trump might even be dumb enough to want the position, though he's making pretty unenthusiastic noises at present.
And if Joe Biden tripped on the tarmac and fell on top of Kamala Harris and they both died then he could become president right away and if he refused to give up the speakership because, well, fake death certificates, succession rules are a fraud, then he would control two of the three branches of government. Oh wait, he already appointed half of the Supreme Court, so that's all branches of government. I'm brilliant! Give me a podcast!
Update! If the Biden-stumbles-and-smothers-Harris scenario happens right now, while the Speaker position is officially vacant (as if it wasn't already vacant when fancy socks McCarthy still held the office), Patty Murray would become president. I love democracy!
Just give him the regular gavel. It'll look YUGE in his hands and fool him, like with a perspective camera trick from a 1980's Zucker Brother's slapstick feature.
I am genuinely amused at the idea of House Republicans thinking Trump would accomplish anything as Speaker. Sure, he'd show up for a couple days here and there to collect his paycheck, insult individual Democrats with thinly veiled bigoted slurs, and bask in the gross toadying of the Republicans. Maybe he'd push overturning the 2020 election again, or waste an afternoon trying to push through a Speaker Executive Order to pardon himself while blatantly ignoring everyone telling him It Doesn't Work Like That.
Otherwise jack all would get done, the government would grind to a halt, and America would Make Atlantis Great Again by falling into the sea.
Whither goest thou oh kind Republicans of the bygone and halcyon days of Nicole Wallace and Michael Steele? They were sooo much nicer back then, I'm sure! (Although I was alive back then and remember what total cock-knobs that party has been for the past 80 years or so.)
"Trump spent the rest of the day on Truth Social posting pictures of himself with (regular-sized) gavels"
Given Defendant Trump's stubby little fingers, isn't it likely that the pictures are of him with a smaller than average gavel to make it look regular-sized?
And why is it that I suspect this is what Trump would be like if we gave him a gavel?
I'd like him to remain "interested" just so I can watch the other candidates attempt to become Speaker while still motorboating his grundle. Especially Gym.
“I would make sure he got a bigger gavel than the small little one that they have,” he told Newsmax anchor Carl Higbie, adding that ideally it would be a “huge gavel.”
An entire family with needs to compensate. Who would have guessed?
Republicans aren’t above ignoring or rewriting rules as they see fit, but anyone facing Trump’s felony indictments cannot serve under current rules of congress. But it’s hilarious that the GOP are faced with having to navigate Trump yet again, and always and forever.
Ta, Evan. Apart from Mary, all the Trumps are nightmare fuel.
AS long as that isn't some kind of Anti-semitic/Jewish state remark, young man.
Nah. The Power is the ability to say no to all this begging. He'll spin this out and turn it into another fundraiser.
Supreme strategist, supreme tactician!
Aren't those just regular strategists and tacticians with sour cream?

I've seen a couple of people say it would never happen, as it would amount to a demotion for PAB, and you know he'd never go for that.

George Conway has an archived article on the Atlantic he wrote 4 year ago about the dangers of Trump..
Gift article.

I love here, so no
These fucking people have sucked all the joy out "Arrested Development" rewatches.
To be fair, Netflix also holds some responsibility for that, too.

Hilarious AND schadenfreudelicious!!
