 I wrote this over a year ago. Some of it has aged better than others, but one thing seems certain. 

As soon as you think the GOP can’t get any worse, they surprise you with a new low. Kevin McCarthy was a duplicitous, lying grifter. He was also likely the most reasonable, sane, and honorable speaker we will ever again see from Republicans. It’s going to get way worse from here on out.

Imagine Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise as speaker. They want to burn it down.

 @30700d9a Scalise is an embarrassment to Louisiana. Whites supremacists love him
