I live outside the US, retired after 30+ years serving my country as both active duty military and a civilian government employee. I’ve always figured that eventually I’d settle back into my native New England, close to family and my history. And I’ll tell you this right now: if Assmouth gets elected in 2024, I will never again set foot on US soil. Never. Again. The country will be dead to me.

I kept hoping he was going to stroke out or just drop dead already but obviously that didn't happen. The only way I see this ending well is for him to suffer a natural fate, any fate, that takes him off the national stage. Sure some or even most of Cult45 will be certain it was a left-wing plot to take him out but they live in a world of delusion and fear anyway so what difference does it make?

One serious upside, none of his spawn has anything like his drawing power except for the long arm of the law and they will have to deal with that for the rest of their lives so there's that.

All to be Speaker... when there's no fucking way his caucus would elect him Speaker! For the (increasingly shrinking) sane ones, he's too sycophantic to TFG; for the nutbars, what little spine he's shown against TFG is too much.

Jeepers, I frigging hope so. At this point, I'd honestly volunteer to give the guy a body-melting STD. Unfortch, I'm not his type :((

I actually think mental illness is too easy an out for him. Yes, he's a narcissist with a severe cognitive disability, but as Marcy Wheeler made clear, he CHOSE to be an asshole. Don't give him any pass.

Someday you will see Mel Blanc and Jack Benny and realize where this came from.

One thing is clear, Kevin McCarthy is willing to do anything, including sucking Donald's toes, to become Speaker of the House. Anything.

It's the same every day: "PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEE!!! I AM THIRSTY!! GIVE ME POWER!!!!"

FFS, can we please just not? It's getting nearly as bad as when he was still in office with social media access.

As often happens, there is no improving on Stephen Robinson's words. "Jesus Christ, there's enough here for an entire graduate-level psychology course." He ain't bloody kidding.
