Watching the various news shows for the past few days and Matt Gaetz did the impossible: had me feeling sorry for McCarthy. This party is so messed up. Has anyone ever seen the Dems go after each other like this. I don’t even see the Dems stoop so low as to call the Repubs schoolyard names. It was nice to see that even Kevin had enough and was throwing F bombs. Can’t wait for the motion to vacate. Then MTG can take the speakership.

I'm not sure Speaker Marjorie Taylor Greene is a remotely good thing, even for the *schadenfreude* (a word I'm using a lot the last few days!) of watching the RNC continue to shoot itself in the foot and in the ass. While Kevin McCarthy might be a spineless wannabe powerbroker, Greene is a Trump True Believer, a person willing to start WWIII if her Dear Leader demanded it of her....

Thanks Harry. I'm sure you have seen it before. What cracks me up is the new art. icymi "Kevin Can F Himself" was a comedy I never watched but the title is unforgettable. I sent in the show poster that is the same but with the show's female lead as a joke suggestion to DemCast, I didn't think we could use. I was so pleasantly surprised and amused when they published with it. My loophole original idea was to put Kev himself there like the art at the bottom of the piece. However, I realized nobody including me wanted to look at his big, dumb, stupid face any more than necessary ; ) Nancy was an inspired choice that makes me laugh because she owned Kev, and she probably said those exact words once or twice.

Wow. Awesome commentary as usual. Explaining technical psych stuff in an understandable way to we non-clinical persons. You hit it right out of the ball park. I look forward to your reads. It is a way better read than some non-factual novel. Our country is at stake, here. I am not delusional about that. Dems have to gerrymander like the rethuglicans. Being honest can destroy our country. Gee whiz fight fire w/fire. Right??

Now that Kevin still has a chance to be re-voted in as Speaker w Dems help I started to think what is in it for Hakeem Jeffries ( as a standing for the Democrats). Would it be better for the Jeffries to cut a deal, get more of his party members on committees and get legislation more in align w the majority of voters or is it better to let the crazy-town Repubs pick a Speaker that has even less control than McCarthy and let the circus or shit show continue to spin out of control?

Deals with narcissists only matter if strongly enforced, which seems impossible in this case.
