If you ask me, the only thing about this that needs to be understood is that when guys like McCarthy talk about democracy, or open discussion, or patriotism, or economics, or the budget, or whatever, it’s all just hooey. It’s just stuff they say, like a little kid who learns a new Big Word and won’t stop using it.In the first place, some of these guys are completely spineless. And some are dumb as bricks, and some are sunk in far-right crazy. But they all share one thing: total incompetence. Literally couldn￼’t pour water out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel. Good thing, too, or they’d be dangerous.Oh, they’ll bluster and posture and yell. They’ll propose deranged bills that go nowhere. They’ll run crackpot investigations, and people like Adam Schiff will run rings around them. They’ll get on Tucks’ show, and moan about how picked-on they are. And they’ll raise money, because in some oarts of America more than one is born every minute. But mostly, they’ll show every voter who has the slightest interest in reality just how awful they are. Seriously, it’s like the Stooges were doing shows in Berlin, 1943. Good luck with the ‘24 elections after 18 months of screaming and dumping whitewash down each other’s pants. Given that McCarthy’s big, big majority probably drops to 3 soon, I wouldn’t even be surprised if Jeffries ends up Speaker before then.
