Yeah but.. what does Kristy Swanson think? 

Correct. You can’t fight with crazy; crazy doesn’t get tired or frustrated into conceding like normal people do.

So it appears McCarthy bluffed in an attempt to make his Republican critics think their resistance was futile, and it blew up in his face.

Well, now people can bully her with a clear conscience. Jesus Christ.

Plus, if working with McConnell in the Senate taught the Dems anything, it should be that any future concessions might as well be written on toilet paper for all the validity they hold once the GOP’s need for cooperation has passed.

After 2022, I’m much more optimistic about the Dems than I was a few years ago. They’re not evolving as quickly as I’d like, but they are evolving.

They could choose McCarthy or any speaker today and there will still be zero governance from a Republican house. Pointing and laughing is a valid reaction. Because these lunatics would be more destructive if they could get their act together.

“Blatantly disinterested in governing.”

Shit, more props to AOC to be able to get that close to Gaetz without getting skeeved out and running. I wouldn’t touch the guy with a 10 foot cattle prod.

There is a part of me that delights in their infighting, but also it would be cool to have one of the three main branches of the federal government be functional. If McCarthy can’t even get himself fucking elected because of these far-right dipshits how is he going any legislation passed?

I know we are supposed to be laughing at Republicans being divided and fucking everything up. But they have been operating this way since the Tea Party came in and created a split in 2010. They are blatantly disinterested in governing.  Full stop. And yet they hold the House.

Archer’s ability to communicate with animals never ceases to make me laugh.

You’ve gotta get him some tree branches or a tire swing or something. It’s like meowschwitz in there.

Matt Lucas has felt like the only host who doesn’t connect well with the bakers. Mel, Sue, Noel and Sandi all have had some empathy and comfort with the bakers. Lucas can be funny but he feels very much like an outsider.

Who do we cast as the human version of Beaker?

It was about time, we had had three years to figure out if “do a vague dumb voice out of the side of your mouth” was ever going to get funny, and it never did.
