McALLEN, Texas | You cannot be serious. Oft-indicted Donald Trump as Speaker of the House of Representatives? Maybe. A Big Maybe, but maybe.
Troubled Speaker Kevin McCarthy (shown in photo below) is out, kicked out by rebellious Republicans angry just because it's free to get angry. Nutty South Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry is the interim Bozo, his first act yesterday was to tell former Speaker Nancy Pelosi she must vacate her "private" office.
Yes, Maria, we're still a country dog-paddling in a half-empty glass of bad Kool-Aid.
This from thehill.com on Trump being in the picture (is he ever out of it?): [ The Speaker of the House is not required to be a sitting member of Congress, though no Speaker has ever held the role without being a member.
Before Republicans won back the House in the 2022 midterms, Trump said he would not be interested in taking the top job.
"No, I think that it’s not something I wanted. It’s brought up all the time," he said last March. "No, it’s not something I want to do. I want to look at what’s happening, and then we’re going to be doing something else. No, it’s not something I would be interested in."
Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) also said he would back Trump for speaker.
McCarthy announced late Tuesday that he would not attempt to become Speaker again. The GOP conference will have a candidate forum next Tuesday to select their pick for the role, with Speaker Pro Tem Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) presiding. ]
Yeah. Bang the drum slowly, George Washington.
We're still mired in a dysfunction of national proportions, and we don't seem to have a plan for getting out of it...

This better not happen. He's under indictment! FOUR OF THEM!!!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy Jim Jordan also is going for Speaker's job. He' so tainted. Is there no level-headed dude on the GOP side?
ReplyDeleteNot Jordan. He's a lightweight. Accomplished nothing with his dumb committees investigating Democrats. Failure!
Deletethe quadruply indicted, liable-for-sexual assault, defamation, and business fraud presidential candidate may make some time in his calendar to step up to the plate. Fox News’s Sean Hannity reported late Tuesday that Trump is “open to helping the Republican Party, at least in the short term, if necessary.”
