But I thought Republicans were supposed to fuck those or something?

Nah, they fuck around and find out

OldWoodFrame,

Reducing the Republican majority to really screw the next Speaker while getting some Board position that meets 4x/year for millions of dollars is probably the best way to go out if you’re gonna be ousted as Speaker.

acceptable_pumpkin,

You can’t fire me, I quit!

To his credit, that would be the single best thing he’s done for the country in his entire career.

Cave-in McCarthy

cabron_offsets,

Feck off.

callouscomic,

Pathetic. Just like Paul Ryan and Boehner. Losers can’t just easily wield power so they quit. They weren’t there to represent. They were there for power. Cry and take your ball home loser.

KingGordon,

This just keeps on getting better. What a twatty twat.

billwashere,

This is an extreme amount of twatness. I approve of this message.

toned_chupacabra,

Do it, Kevin! That will reduce the Republican majority, because House rep vacancies need to be filled by a special election. The governor can’t name an immediate replacement the way it works for Senate vacancies.

I don’t know how long it takes under California to do a special election, but it is some non-trivial duration.

Be careful what you wish for…that would almost ensure a protracted government shutdown.

June,

P sure that’s going to happen anyway.

The MAGA caucus will literally eat their own faces to spite the democrats.

Daft_ish,

Protracted government shutdown is the end of the US global dominance. Just like Trump, once you cut the purse strings the whole thing comes crashing down.

Wrench,

Oh that’s right! McCarthy is from CA… wonder what his district is.

Bakersfield. Ahh. Yeah, that tracks.

CylustheVirus,

The armpit of the state. Oil Derricks in megachurch parking lots. Whole place smells. It’s truly awful.

davidgro,

I once took a road trip through CA. What I remember about Bakersfield is that there was a poster at the train station we checked out, the poster was for “The Oil Experience”.

Uniquitous,

♫ Brave Sir Kevin ran away! Bravely ran away away!

When danger reared its ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled!

Yes, brave Sir Kevin turned about

And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,

He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Kevin! ♫

andrewta,

One article says he might be resigning the next says he’s going to run for reelection.

Rapidcreek,

Considering he said he was going to be Speaker still, I’m calling bullshit on this.

Nougat,

McClintock:

“This depends entirely on several of the dissidents to disenthrall themselves from their decision and to repair the damage before it is too late. I appeal to them to act while there is still time.”

Oh, you appeal to them? That'll work for sure.

But what if the door hits him one the way out? Someone might feel obliged to feign empathy for him, and no one should have to suffer like that.

Davel23,

Now if we can just get the rest of the House GOP to do the same...

gravitas_deficiency,

Lmao this just keeps getting better
