People are understandably making fun of the debacle that is the #SpeakerOfTheHouse election but I have a bad feeling about where things will end. Which I think will be McCarthy caving in to many/most of the demands the GOP holdouts are making. This can only be a bad thing. For example Matt Gaetz is demanding the chairmanship of the Armed Services subcommittee. If that clown gets it this will be VERY bad news for many reasons. Chief among them: Gaetz will torpedo aid for #ukraine .

just as I was saying: McCarthy is making concessions to the far righters tryting to get their votes to become #SpeakerOfTheHouse including offering them commitee slots. this isn't going to end well.
