I was in a train compartment in Europe with American high school kids spitting their dip into the ashtray on the compartment wall, under the window. I'll gladly hate on it.

Kevin McCarthy says he became a Republican because when he was in the 6th grade he turned on the TV and Jimmy Carter, wearing a sweater, told him to turn the heater down pic.twitter.com/rsp9L4M2tA

Okay. He became a Republican because "Fuck you, buddy, that's MY thermostat!" And he's entitled to cheap gas to heat his house up to 78?

I thought the free market was wiser than government officials?

That's what he got for his 8 1/2 hours.

"Let's just not present what the Republicans say as any fact that you're predicating a question on. I mean, understand what's happening around here, okay?" -- Nancy Pelosi to a reporter who asked her to respond to Republican statements pic.twitter.com/mV34qxopPH

Yeah, let's not.

Kevin McCarthy's floor speech lasted roughly .04 percent of a Scaramucci

Though I suppose we can go back to "Dems Are In Disarray":

"I think one thing we should note is that this is a bill that the White House was expecting would pass the House last night," [Kaitlan] Collins noted [on CNN]. "They thought this bill was going to pass about twelve hours ago, but then of course, Kevin McCarthy delivered that 8 1/2-hour speech. And so, actually, instead of this bill passing late at night, of course, when not a lot of people are paying attention, it's passing at 10:00 in the morning," Collins noted.

 

"Of course, the White House was not thrilled with how that went, they wanted that vote to happen last night, but now potentially Kevin McCarthy in essence is giving the White House a win, you know, in broad daylight when more people are paying attention to what's happening on the House floor," Collins explained.

She also noted, "we likely will hear from President Biden on this because last night, if this passed about 10:00, they were going to issue a written statement from Biden. Now we will see him on camera before he leaves the White House for his own thanksgiving vacation to talk about this and to tout this, because — yes, they still have a very long road to go, we don't know what this bill will look like when it gets to the Senate — but this is a big step for the White House, months in the making."

Still, McCarthy played to Trump to prove he was doing all he could to block Biden's agenda and so brush back rumors Trump would be the next Speaker of the House in 2023.  So:  yay?
