Today is January 7th, 2023. It is the two-year and one-day anniversary of Kevin McCarthy voting to overturn the 2020 election results, and exactly two years minus 6 days when the same Representative went on TV to fault Donald Trump for the January 6th insurrection (albeit he did not call for Trump's impeachment). McCarthy's incredible progress as a chameleon, championing any platform on which he happens to be standing at the moment, has led, finally, after 15 votes plus some pushing and shoving, to McCarthy being elected Speaker of the House, not to mention Flip-Flopper in Chief. He has demonstrated for all the world to watch how a terrible negotiator can give away everything and still get little in return. I say this because McCarthy now rules from a vastly weakened position, and we don't expect to see him long in the role. It depends, mostly, on how willing he is to be Lauren Boebert's bitch. From all appearances, he is eager to strap on the ball-gag and bend to the whip.
We opted for pizza last night, for those of you breathlessly awaiting that decision.
