...Am I the only one who thinks that Congress-elect George Santos is the incoming Congress' version of Madison Cawthorn? Just as creepy, but with even more baggage? And not just US-based baggage?
...It's been popcorn-riffic to see Republican Kevin McCarthy's desperation to be Speaker of the US House of Representatives. He's made a lot of concessions to the MAGA types in his caucus in order to gain the support, but at this point, he could offer to step into the well of the house chamber and publicly kiss the ass of each member of the GQP's "Freedom" Caucus, and many of them still wouldn't vote for him.
...USSC Chief Justice John Roberts is desperate, too. Unlike McCarthy though, he's worried about the legacy of his court.
It's too late - his time as chief justice will be remembered with neither fondness nor respect.
