Memo To Kevin McCarthy. You’re Totally Useless Because

You’re terrified to use power, and you refuse to show leadership and authority. Every time you open your mealy mouth, and refuse to deal with another mutiny in your ranks, more and more caucus members that you might be able to hold lose all respect for you.

You’ve had your chances. You could have told the Trombie caucus to go and pound sand when they demanded a vote to strip Liz Cheney of her leadership posts for daring to cote her conscience to impeach Trump. Who the hell wants to work with or for a leader that will throw them to the wolves rather than make a stand? You could have stripped Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee posts instead of forcing Pelosi and the Democrats to do your house cleaning. And right now, today, this minute, you could move to strip Google Dates Gaetz of his committee posts pending resolution of the child sex trafficking investigation he’s under. No, not spineless you.

You can’t be surprised at how this has turned out, since you helped to create it. Here’s a real blast from the past for you. Do you by any chance remember The Young Guns? It was a political version of the movie The Three Amigos, with Eric Cantor playing the part of Martin Short, you taking the role of Chevy Chase, and Paul Ryan taking the challenging clown flops of Steve Martin. Your vapid scred was supposed to be the operating instructions for the next breed of GOP leadership.

That’s right you helped to create this monster, as a member in good standing of the Tea Party Revolt of 2010. You didn’t come to Washington with a clear ideology or wish to govern, you came to burn the place down. You made getting rid of John Boehner your rallying cry, and got what you wanted. And obstruction became the norm. And The Young Guns? Cantor got primaried out in Virginia by a lunatic college professor who didn’t even bother to raise money. Ryan retired from congress before his wife and kids left him for a gig in the Witness Protection Program, thanks to His Lowness.

Now, here’s the good news, Kevin me boyo. You can always save your soul, at least some of your dignity, and your family, and walk away, just like Paul Ryan did. Because here’s the bad news. Today is the best it’s ever going to get for you, it only goes downhill from here. Even with Trump’s social media presence diminished, in 2022 there will be even more Trombies and QAnon nitwits running for congress. Personally, I believe your minority will get even smaller, as white suburban GOP voters send sane Democrats back to those swing seats. But while smaller, your caucus is going to be even stupider, with the infusion of misfit broken toys from gerrymandered districts. And they’ll likely bounce you from your Minority Leaser post.

Just go, spare yourself and your family the humiliation. Because while I compared you three with The Three Amigos, there is one important thing to remember. The Three Amigos had a happy ending. Just take a look at your two former compatriots to see where you’re headed. Do as you will.
