#dysfunctional republicans

Q: What's worse than being somebody's puppet? A: Being a puppet of a puppet.

"MAGA Mike" Johnson has gained nothing by being Trump's House mouthpiece. The GOP caucus is even more dysfunctional than it was under Kevin McCarthy. Trump is too busy screaming "BLOODBATH" and proclaiming himself to be a dictator to bother helping out his stooge who is being challenged by other MAGA nihilists.

Mike Johnson's job is impossible thanks to disruptive Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz

Loyalty to Trump will not be repaid. He will toss you out like a used ketchup packet from McDonald's once he no longer has any use for you.

Republican House members met Monday night to try to agree on a Speaker. The only progress they made was that one of the nine candidates decided to drop out.

Of the eight remaining candidates, only two voted to certify the 2020 presidential election. And one of those two, Tom Emmer, made comments in November of 2020 casting doubt on the validity of the election. So that leaves just Austin Scott (R-GA-08) as the only pro-democracy candidate.

One candidate, Pete Sessions (R-TX-17), is known as "Streakin' Pete" for his streaking escapades in the 1970s. That takes Gym Jordan's lack of a jacket several steps further.

Republicans will meet again on Tuesday morning to resume their dysfunctional bickering.

Tuesday marks exactly three weeks since Kevin McCarthy was ousted.

BONUS TRACK! A few days ago Rex Huppke at USA Today wrote a parody of how a job post for House Speaker might appear at LinkedIn.

Now that’s a shame.
