I know you're a serious person. And I think you'd agree there is a good chance things can get even more stupid than they already are, in the US House of Representatives.

But I'm not at all disturbed at Mr. McCarthy losing his position. I'm happy with it: the man is an unprincipled liar, whose only interest is his own wealth & position. Good riddance.

It will be entertaining to see what the GQP establishes next as their "leadership". We're already in the dirt. 
 @70356141 Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad to see the man gone. I’m more concerned about our apparent inability to find our way out of big messes like this and everything surrounding it.

I see it more hopefully, as the beginning of their end.

Then again, I'm a lifelong Chicago sports fan! 🤣 🤣 🤣 
 @70356141 Doesn’t change the political dynamic. They still control the House. And the margins will be just as narrow one way or the other after the next election. 

As bungled as our systems are, the crazies have succeeded in bungling it further.
