They can't even pass procedural rules to debate defense approps.

"The scene, once unthinkable, has become routine in McCarthy’s tenure: a House majority incapable of passing the parliamentary rules for debating legislation. In May, the speaker fell short of corralling the votes for the rule setting up the debt ceiling legislation. Democrats then, at the urging of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), swooped in and provided a couple dozen votes to pass it."

When you elect clowns, you get a circus.

If there are some reasonable republicans who come up with a reasonable bipartisan plan - fantastic. But other than that, let the clowns deal with their own mess.

But at least McCarthy is not old. That’s the most important thing.

A man who would stop at nothing to be Speaker cut a deal with right wing lunatics who would stop at nothing to destroy our government.
