Kagro in the Morning - October 5, 2023

Our roll call vote to vacate the chair at KITM World Headquarters was roundly defeated this morning by David Waldman shrewdly bringing in a box of donuts for everybody. Plus, it’s Thursday, so Greg Dworkin is here and has much to tell us about many things.

Voters say Kevin McCarthy shouldn’t have been ousted and don’t believe Democrats should have saved him. That pretty much leaves Kevin and the MAGA nimrods at fault for their recent fiasco. McCarthy double-crossed friend and foe alike, therefore it was logical to assume that he would continue if given a chance. For Dems, the decision was strictly business. As for the Freedom Caucus, they were handed a bazooka, and so of course the first place they’d aim it would be their head. A head isn’t really something they would miss after all.

Now, the Problem Solvers have a problem, and if moderates could find any heads, they would certainly make them roll. Mitch McConnell and Lauren Boebert agree, mistakes were made. Matt Gaetz, Nancy Mace and Steve KG Bannon on the other hand ask what could be more reasonable than asking for an occasional government collapse?

At least House Republicans won’t be trying anything that stupid again any time soon… Nope, they will be much more stupid next time. There’s always room there for more stupid.

2000 Mules finally goes to court, after doing as much damage as it could.

Along the Texas border, counties are trying to make it illegal to even travel on their roads on the way to get an abortion. Idaho banned abortion, and it’s not a big supporter of pregnancy or births either.

As news gets worse and worse for Bob Menendez, New Jersey’s first lady Tammy Murphy is popping up as a potential successor.
