McCarthy gets ousted by his own party, somehow manages to blame Democrats. Speaking to the press just now:
What a piece of shit, good riddance. The 45 daystop gap funding bill he put on the floor for a vote an hour after it was introduced, leaving Dems no time to read 77 page bill to see if it had poison pills they couldn't vote for. Classy guy. Just today it was reported he was refusing to postpone votes on Thursday so membera could attend Dianne Feinstein's funeral.
The new guy doesn't seem to be any better:
Pelosi didn't even vote today, she was in SF with Fienstein. But don't let that get in the way of partisan bullshit. And she said she won't be able to pack up by Wednesday for the same reason. Fucking gouls.
A petty person abusing temporary authority.
Oh McCarthy must have an intense fury for Republicans right now, he just doesn't want to add fuel to the fire.
I mean it's a giant wildfire so it doesn't really matter but it's still funny to see him kneeling to them.
They should put forth a motion to vacate that guy too, lol.

Never mind that the only role he has as Speaker pro tempore is facilitating the election of a new Speaker. He doesn't have the power to rule on any other House business that isn't very narrowly and very specifically tied to that one, single purpose.
But then again, we're talking about a Republican here, so power grabbing moves are par for the course.
