#NeverMcCarthy reminds me a lot of #NeverTrump

It's this clearly personal, "who cares about the consequences" approach to politics

It's the opposite of wartime conservatism, of knowing what time it is
The question for everyone should be "how do we extract maximum value out of the House majority?"

The answer is obviously - investigations, investigations, investigations

Which McCarthy, for his faults, is great on
You wanted a different candidate?

Great. Run him as a candidate for majority leader in the caucus.

Andy Biggs did that, he lost 180-30

That should be the end of the debate
The last time recalcitrant Republicans didn't like the leader chosen in the relevant party process, we got Evan McMullin for President

Don't be like the NeverTrumpers, guys

The anti-Kevin McCarthy movement in the House is a slow moving train wreck

Two weeks ago, I argued that they could be handing the gavel to a Democrat-controlled RINO who would give Democrats a veto over subpoenas

Now Democrat Ro Khanna has proposed exactly that
A “unity candidate” for Speaker would be a RINO who owes his position entirely to the Democrat caucus in the House

We’d get no investigations of the Hunter laptop, or the 51 ex-intelligence agents who said it was Russian disinformation, or anything else we want
We’d also get a Speaker who could put maximum pressure on swing-seat GOP reps by bringing Democrat legislation to the floor

It would be like we didn’t even have a majority at all - unified Democrat governance for another two years

Correct, they are a deep part of our grammar, which is why you shouldn’t make up your own
Pronouns are trivial enough to let everyone come up with their own but serious enough that if you don’t use preferred ones you’re a bigot
Reminder that the left is right about gender being a social construction which is why we can dispense with the concept entirely and just use biological sex as the basis for pronouns

It was way cooler to be pro-Trump in 2016 than it is now

Now you're defending a guy who's whining on a tiny social media platform about how the constitution needs to be suspended and he just needs to be installed as President sans election
He's actually smart not to be on Twitter right now, his truth social is just a timeline of cringe

Democrat representative tells @vijaya that she should stop meddling in the election

And they still went right along censoring?

Crazy
Starting to see why @vijaya cried at the thought of Elon taking over

Her wrongdoing came out
Also respect to @RoKhanna for having integrity when it comes to free speech

McCarthy isn’t Romney, and the suggested replacements (Scalise, Jordan) are substantially worse
You go to war with the army you have, and McCarthy is the best available option and the only one with a mandate
Scalise is the guy who refused to endorse against Liz Cheney

Jordan is the guy who’s been thwarting efforts to regulate big tech

McCarthy is substantially better than both
