When just looking dumb is not good enough
Prepare for absolutely nothing worthwhile getting done for the next 2 years >

I wouldn't say nothing.
There's going to be a lot of wasteful spending on show hearings and pushing for possibly innocent people to be arrested. >

normalizing harassing private citizens through their "committee to weaponize the government" or some dumb shit >


“But I cannot put partisan loyalty ahead of national security, and I cannot simply recognize years of service as the sole criteria for membership on this essential committee. Integrity matters more.”

It seems like McCarthy's statement here is an argument against himself. >

Well we know that integrity doesn’t matter as long as Santos remains on Committees. >

Isn't Gym Jordan on that committee too? Yeah, real high standards you got there, Kev. >

Yeah,  it's an "Intelligence Committee"...
God I hate that jockstrap bully. >

Me too, He has that "I peaked in high school" energy. >

I feel like anytime he's not on camera you can find him sitting alone on a worn smelly couch in a dark basement crushing cans of Coors listening to "Glory Days" while fondling a high school varsity jacket. 
Plot twist: The high school varsity jacket isn't his. >

Dont drag the Boss's music into this. At best he would be listening to Ted Nugent >

Particularly Nugent's song "Jailbait" >

The backhanded slam that McCarthy has judged Swalwell and Schiff to have integrity issues is peak Republicanism. Swalwell was formerly the chair of the Intelligence Modernization and Readiness Subcommittee and a member of the Committee while Schiff was the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 
It’s ironic that McCarthy doesn’t have the integrity to admit they were denied seats because both were impeachment managers for Trump’s 2020 impeachment and Schiff served as the lead manager. >

1 person can call for the no confidence vote. Prepare for a spineless leader who is tethered to the whims of extremists >

And this is what happens when a spineless puppet is Speaker.
Russia and the traitors hold the House.
Expect to see a lot of "leaks" in the next few years that just happen to never get sourced. >

I mean…motion to vacate, right?  Idk why Democrats don’t just do this to him 10,000x a day until he rips out all his hair in frustration.  Don’t moral high road this shit, just make this fool regret the day he was born.  
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. >

Probably less a high road issue and more that this will cause the GOP to get into lockstep to support him which will, ironically, strengthen his position as speaker.  Democrats trying to remove him will be far less damaging than Republicans trying to remove him. >

Yeah but like he already got his speakership, I’m just suggesting we take a play from the GOP playbook and use/misuse any and every tool available to bring the whole process to a grinding halt.
He can have all the support in the world—it’s not gonna prevent him from spending 8 hours a day holding votes on his own speakership and never getting a moment to accomplish any of his objectives. >

Intelligence committee will be without true intelligence then … >

Dems should just put up the next two (qualified - but more progressive) options.  Not stunt/in your face escalation of progressives (jump straight to AOC, etc.. ) but just a steady escalation of “you didn’t want the highly experienced / qualified previous members? Ok… your gonna love what comes next!” >

Jefferies should name them again. And again. The only two to be named. >

I mean it didn't work when McCarthy did the samee for Jan 6 Committee speaker can just ignore them until they send someone he wants >

Once Dems return to the majority in 2024, just boot every republican from every possible committee. They have no interest in a functioning government, so they shouldn't have any power in it. >

That's true for regular committees but not the case for select committees, like the Intel Committee.
Also the rules that set committee memberships are set at the start of every Congress by a majority vote. Theoretically, any party in the majority could change the rules and simply block out the other party. >

Putin has the House.
