It's not like he did something despicable, like, say, using a photo of L*bron as an avatar...

[Shaboid]

Can they pass legislation with an interim speaker, or will he not even bring issues to a vote until they elect someone?

TRUMP FOR SPEAKER> Lets really mess up congress. Can you imagine how little would get done, but at least he could defund Jack Smith, about his only hope I think. The far right is already pushing it. Here it Texas congressman says he will nominate Trump, the greatest president of his lifetime, for speaker

McCarthy denounced January 6 insurrection, then a few days later reversed himself and pledged loyalty to Trump. He met with Biden and had a handshake agreement to fund the government and aid to Ukraine, then reneged. When Gaetz said he would move to oust McCarthy, Democrats floated the idea of backing him in exchange for working together. He went on CBS Sunday and denounced Democrats, blaming them for near shutdown. He agreed to rule allowing any member to initiate a vote to oust him, then blamed Nancy Pelosi, who is in California for Dianne Feinstein's funeral.

No one trusts this guy.

Sir, you owe an apology to varmints.

 

[Voodoo]

How can anyone seriously want these lunatics in power? I just can’t even comprehend it, it’s beyond comprehension to people who haven’t taken the kool aid.

I should've gone with crack addicted lab rats.

Russia paid Gaetz to do this so we end funding to Ukraine.

I wouldn't be surprised.

And of course McCarthy's temporary replacement House Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry's first move was to evict Nancy Pelosi from her office while she is at her friends funeral.

As speaker pro tempore, McHenry’s official title, the congressman will preside over the vote and selection of the House’s next speaker, with the ability to recess the chamber, adjourn it and recognize speaker nominations.

Congressional rules prohibit choosing a person as speaker who has a felony indictment.
