I’ve only seen this guy in the two clips on this post and … he’s a huge closet gay, right?

McHenry (Give Me Liberty or Else) is shown standing on a plastic milk crate, wearing pants that are at least 8” too long, puddled around his feet. Not only can’t he step into Our Kevin’s position, he can’t even fill his shoes.

I’m here all week. Tip your waitress.

TFG. I cannot believe how many inadequate GOPers there are and how pathetic their need is for the trappings of power. I would speculate about the size of their respective manhoods but I’m classier than that. But I encourage you to think about it.

How soon after Hulk Smashing his gavel did that mean girl closet case go home to tell his momma that he's the new speaker and wants a party to celebrate?

I don't know this guy of course, but what came across to me as I watched him do that was that he was pissed at having to be there in the first place, since he and McCarthy are friends. That's probably what motivated him to do that office thing: Anger at the Democrats for not saving his friend.

I wouldn't ordinarily say this about an old guy in a bow tie, but someone needs to grow the fuck up.

Dorks think bow ties distinguish them and color them with class. It only betrays their Tucker-esque insecurity and self-doubt. And when your first official act is to take away office space from a colleague, even your bow tie can’t save you.

See what I mean, when it comes to conservatives, it can always get worse. This petty, hateful act of political aggression against a highly respected member of Congress like Pelosi won’t be forgotten, and as always when it comes to wingnut negotiations, they will pay a huge price for it someday. They seem to think they will control the House forever, when they just lost their Speaker to a unanimous Democrat vote to vacate. They are one election away from a blue wave when things really go off the rails in 2024.

It wasn't God or Jesus who opened the door to the Speaker's office; it was McCarthy, who appointed McHenry (by some opaque process) to become Acting Speaker in the event 208 Democrats and 8 Republicans (not God or Jesus) showed Qevin the door. https://www.downwithtyranny.com/post/gop-dysfunction-on-display-let-the-new-speaker-votes-commence-patrick-mchenry-acting-speaker

As for the acting speaker, scroll down for some the strangest things you'll ever read about this idiot's background. Including this, from 2007 (note the RW/GOP sources for the salacious and sordid details): https://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2007/08/wholl-be-next-republican-hypocrite-to.html

Personally, I am religiously agnostic on the subject, neither believing nor disbelieving; I just accept that this is public information.

More of the same from the dumpster party. I’m sure that little punk McHenry had a fundraising email touting this up all ready to go before this was even announced. I actually dictated “dumb stunt party”, and it auto corrected to “dumpster party”, which totally works.

Ok honest question here: Ukraine funding wasn’t part of the continuing resolution that passed to keep the govt funded and operating. People said, ok fine, we just pass it separately now. But given the actions described here of how Day 1 w/ Interim Speaker is going, I don’t see the house doing literally any actual work, let alone anything that is about spending money the rabid right doesn’t want to spend. So, what’s happening with support for Ukraine now? I genuinely don’t know, and my googling isn’t giving me the info I’m looking for.
