What I'm taking from this story is that Kevin McCarthy can't control his caucus the way Nancy Pelosi can.

Not surprising, since the whole Republican Party is the tail wagging the dog.

Democratic Congressperson does something to annoy the Right-mainstream media talks about it for a week and it’s headline news. Republicans screw over their country and constituents? Fucking crickets.

Nobody can match the gumption of the GOP. A bunch of people who are in the racial and religious majority, holding the presidency and a majority in Congress, yet still somehow believing that they are being persecuted. They get a 50-meter head start in the 100-meter dash and are crying that they only won by 49 meters. Clearly somebody behind them is getting too good of a deal.

But he does appear to be a king-sized asshole. Definitely an embarrassment to the alma mater.

"On April 10, 2019, Massie got in a tense exchange (also called "one of the most asinine moments in congressional history[62]") with Former Secretary of State John Kerry during Kerry's testimony to the House Oversight and Reform Committee when Massie called Kerry's political science degree from Yale University a "pseudoscience degree" and called Kerry's position on climate change "pseudoscience." Kerry responded, "Are you serious? I mean this is really a serious happening here?"[63][a]"

I would have thought a mongoose might have been the preferred choice, but maybe I'm mixing up my predators.

Except we would still be waiting.

I'll 100% believe that Texas is teetering purple - it's for the same reason that Repubs are trying to deny votes to, let's say, people with enhanced amounts of melanin.

Chip Roy. If your mom names you this, your career of a Jesus-humping Repub congressman is pretty much assured.
