Take that to the bank

[geek tragedy]

1. that might not be enough to keep him out of that office. he better go Sherman nt

[malaise]

2. He's a freaking over-ambitious hypocrite

all this crap about being at home raising children didn't matter when he was running for VP with his RW agenda. Typical lying ReTHUG scumbag - he so wants to be President and that will never happen.

Let me quote Biden - malarkey and add my own fugging malarkey!!!

[SummerSnow]

3. and I third that malarkey.

[geek tragedy]

5. he wants to be president, but he's now gonna get blamed if he doesn't take the job, people

will say he cares more about himself in the party.

he's kind of screwed, in a hyper-privileged asshole republican kind of way.

[malaise]

6. Freaking perfect

because he really does care more about himself than the party but that's true for all ReTHUGs. And that's why the party is in deep trouble.

4. It's a lose/lose position for anyone in their party given what has to be done...

[malaise]

8. No sympathy here

They created their own monsters

[JCMach1]

13. wouldn't give a shite at all, but just keeping government functioning is going to take

leadership of some level...

[malaise]

14. True

What happens constitutionally if one party in the House refuses to function?

[JCMach1]

16. No Speaker, essentially Congress goes home... they can do NOTHING

Having said that, given the toxicity of the situation they should consider rotating speaker every 3-4 weeks until the end of this Congress. That way, someone could only partially be blamed when they have to rely on Pelosi and the Dem. Caucus to push-forward what needs to be done.

7. I saw a piece from Bloomberg today...

... that said that the REAL rightwing won't have him because he's not conservative enough.

Holy shit... what color is the sky on their planet?

[longship]

9. Hint: they claim that their planet is cubic, it's flat on both sides.

17. Is that you, Thomas Friedman? The Moustache of Understanding...

[longship]

18. Love it! Thanks, Mad!

10. Serves the right - you know the old proverb

Hang out with dogs and catch fleas - in this case it is clearly an insult to both the dogs and fleas.

[malaise]

15. The guy who wil throw grandma off the clliff is not conservative

enough?? They are sick.
