What a F$%&*#$ING Mess

 The House of Representatives ousted Kevin McCarthy - that happened about 10 days ago. It was brought about because he - McCarthy - when he was elected speaker that any ONE member of the House  could call for his removal. He had to agree to this provision  to secure the votes of the far Right wing of "nut jobs " in the GOP like Bobo, Marge Traitor Green, Gosar,Gates, etc... they wanted that ONE member deal so that IF McCarthy did not uphold the promises he made to them - mainly about compromising with Democrats to get bills and budgets passed - they , the GOP could call for his removal - via a "Motion to Vacate" ,, Which Matt Gates called for th Motion , ALL the Democrats voted for the removal along with members of that so called FREEDOM CAUCUS to have him Removed... Since then the GOP has been in chaos.  They have put forth Steve Scalise to succeed  McCarthy, but he realized he could not get the 217 votes needed to win the Speakers seat - let me remind you that there have beed reports - that hopefully are not 100 % true that  “Scalise describes himself as ‘David Duke without the baggage.’ He’s associated with Duke & attended a white-supremacist conference.”  David Duke - former Grand Wizard of the KKK.... 

Some of the House GOP members are blaming the DMEOCRATS ! Give me a break - is it the responsibility of the Democrats to save the GOP from themselves - I think NOT !

Now they have nominated Jim Jordan - a man that has been accused by many of the Wrestling team Athletes at Ohio state of doing nothing to investigate the allegations of Sexual abuse by a coach and that Jordan was fully aware of this coach and did nothing.  Jordan - an election denier, a Trump supporter, an insurrectionist,  a man that was involved in the January ^th Coup attempt and has openly refused to answer a subpoena by the House committee to testify before them -   yea that Jim Jordan.  And it appears that he does not have the votes either.

SO  while the Majority leader  - Patrick McHenry - can conduct some business of the House while they elect a new speaker  - He cannot do much ,,,  While we as the National are hurtling towards a Government shut down sometime in Mid November - which is about 30 days away,,, and I guarantee that there will be a great fight to pass a budget before then - we are stuck with a GOP that has now proven beyond a shadow that it cannot govern ...  that it is very dysfunctional - and who the hell knows where we are headed next...
