The now former Republican Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, suffered through a brutal and unprecedented fifteen vote marathon<\/a><\/strong> before securing his position a mere eight months ago. In the time since he failed to produce a single piece of meaningful legislation. He proved himself to be the weakest House Speaker in modern times<\/p>\n

However, McCarthy succeeded on a couple of matters. First, he nearly collapsed the national and international economies via his dreadful mismanagement of the debt ceiling. And second, he fumbled the passage of appropriations bills necessary to keep the government from a devastating shutdown.<\/p>\n

Consequently, McCarthy has now been removed from the Speakership by his fellow GOP members who are apparently searching for a leader who will fail at an even higher level. And that has launched an intra-party war among the GOP’s radical fringe and their somewhat less radical fringe.<\/p>\n

Not to be left out, Donald Trump inserted his unique brand of “wisdom”<\/em> into the debate over McCarthy’s fate. And true to form, Trump contributed a predictably dishonest and pitifully vacant comment that he posted on his failing social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. He whined<\/a> that…<\/p>\n

“Why is it that Republicans are always fighting among themselves, why aren\u2019t they fighting the Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seriously? No Republican has more bitterly fought his comrades in the party than Trump. He calls the GOP minority leader in the Senate “Old Crow”<\/em> Mitch McConnell, and his wife “Coco Chow.”<\/em> During the January 6th insurrection, he blasted McCarthy saying, “I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”<\/em> He is viciously attacking his Republican challengers in the GOP presidential primary with infantile nicknames such as “Ron DeSanctimonious,”<\/em> “Sloppy Chris Christie,”<\/em> “Bird Brain” Nikki Haley,”<\/em> and “Liddle'” Mike Pence.”<\/em><\/p>\n

If that’s not enough, Trump has also repeatedly bashed any Republican who was insufficiently worshipful as a “RINO”<\/em> (Republican in name only). That includes senators, governors, state and federal legislators, and media pundits. He recently lashed out at his Ministry of Propaganda saying<\/a> that “I call Fox News the RINO Network, and their DOWN BIG Ratings accurately reflect the name.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, Trump’s definition of a RINO is anyone who disagrees with Trump. So it will be interesting to see whether he embraces whatever supplicant succeeds McCarthy in the days (weeks? months?) to come, and if he or she is satisfactorily subservient the Dear Leader Trump. In fact, it will be interesting to see if the GOP can even manage to elect a new speaker.<\/p>\n
