A post on John Scalzi's Whatever.
Kevin McCarthy is out as House Speaker, and nothing of value was lost. However, I'm pretty sure that even less of value will replace him[1], unless Democrats and "moderate Republicans" (if such things even still exist) are able to work together and perform some kind of magic and get someone in there who isn't a complete and total dumbfuck. The chances of that happening currently hover roughly around "slim" and "none," though.
I will be so glad when this ridiculously bizarre GQP/Trumpublicanism Era of United States history is, finally, well and truly in the past for good, forever. Assuming such a thing happens relatively soon, that is. It may not happen in my lifetime, though, even if I somehow live to be a hundred, and that's utterly depressing. I figure that, at the very least, the Supreme Court will continue to be fucked because of this shit for the rest of my life span, at any rate, no matter what else may happen politically.
As usual, whenever egregious dumbshit like this happens, it reminds me of that George Washington quote, yet again.
Anyway, I like how that post by Mr. Scalzi there wasn't even really about Trump, but Mr. Scalzi still managed to get a few good zingers in against Trump all the same. And by "zingers" I mean "accurate, truthful descriptions."
[1] - And, in fact, already has, at least on a (very hopefully) temporary basis. One of the first acts of this new dipshit as Speaker pro tempore was to kick Nancy Pelosi (who is currently away from DC, at Dianne Feinstein's funeral in California) out of her office. So, yeah, this dickweed is already off to a great start. </sarcasm> That said, I'm sure all the Trumpanzees unironically loved that bit. *eye roll + weary sigh* (EDIT) As it turns out, Kevin McCarthy himself was apparently behind this petty bullshit. (/EDIT)
