  • No milk and cookies for House republi-brats

    From Fascist Flea@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 21 22:45:33 2023
    They're down to the third-string babysitter now.

    []
    A majority of the House Republicans vying for the speakership signed
    a pledge Saturday aimed at saving the GOP’s next pick from the vote-
    counting trap that sank Reps. Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan’s bids.
    []

    "Everyone join hands and promise to be good."

    []
    The device: A simple two-paragraph pledge, spearheaded by Rep. Mike
    Flood (R-Neb.), to vote “yea” on the floor for whoever wins the House Republican conference’s backing in the initial secret-ballot election scheduled for Tuesday. To pick up more commitments, Flood is organizing
    a bloc of Republicans to withhold support from candidates unless they
    press their backers to sign the pledge.
    []

    "No allowance unless you behave!"

    Such clarity of vision. No wonder the fuckuplicans are so revered
    in Dumpster country.

    The device has the definition of 'caucus' engraved on the base.
