The Republican Party is Pure Filth
Sorry, not sorry, it’s just true
Well, after four days and fifteen votes, the Republican Party managed to seat a Speaker of the House, which is ironic, since Kevin McCarthy should really be in prison for his actions on January 6.
Amid the chaos of repeated votes and impassioned, sometimes batshit speeches on the House floor, Republicans started suggesting new candidates for Speaker: On day one, it was Jim Jordan. On day two, it was Byron Donalds. On day three, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida stood up and nominated Donald J. Trump. Gaetz is currently under federal investigation for having sex with, and traveling across state lines with, a 17-year-old girl. I didn’t tune in to the Republican soap opera on day four, so I have no idea which criminals and/or crackpots Republicans nominated that day.
For Speaker of the House in Congress, Republicans nominated a seditionist, a pedophile protector, a man who’s had to pay $300,000 in legal fees since 2020 for campaign violations, and a twice impeached, traitorous former “president” who is also a self-described pussy grabber.
