Centrist GOP effort to reinstate McCarthy picks up steam after Israel attacks
Reinstalling the Californian, the thinking goes, is the only way to quickly deliver aid to Israel.
Using the term "centrist" pretty loosely
They're only Nazis 50% of the time. That's right in the center!
They're practically enlightened!
"Slightly less fascist" just doesn't roll off the tongue.

That was exceptionally well written, as well as completely fucking depressing.
I am so tired of living in a world with instantaneous access to lifetimes worth of documentary evidence regarding the atrocities brought forth on humanity via organized religion, and then watching otherwise rational minded people continue replicating the same behaviors without remorse or consideration for the consequences.
Nothing improves a speakership like the stink of failure, I guess? Might as well bring him around for another go.
The attempt to reinstall McCarthy faces long odds. Two strong candidates are running active campaigns with only days to go before voting, and many dozens of Republicans have already made endorsements. There is little reason to think the basic math for McCarthy has changed for McCarthy since last Tuesday.
Too many people still don’t like Kevin. I’m resigned that it’s going to be Gym Jordan.
Gym Jordan? You mean the same Gym Jordan involved in the cover up of systematic sexual abuse in the Ohio State University system? That Gym Jordan?
Oh boy, Democrats still have a chance to disappoint me and reach across the aisle for this clown.
If the result is more cooperation between parties, that sounds good to me. The entire thing that got him ousted was certain far right members saying “you can’t work with the Democrats at all, no matter what,” which is one of the most fucked up, dysfunctional things I’ve heard out of our government in a while
Honestly, if he hadn't smack talked them the day after they got that 45 day budget passed, they probably would back him. Hell, if we didn't need to get the big budget passed in 45 days, they'd probably do it just to fuck with the Republicans. Or they could fuck with McCarthy by voting for him and making the GOP think he's cut a secret deal with the Dems.
I was actually shocked they didn't back him. I didn't think Democrats had any low they wouldn't stoop for the sake of compromise.
