What we are witnessing with Kevin McCarthy’s losing bid to be Speaker of the House is how utterly and completely Trump and the behind-the-scenes backers of MAGA & ‘Freedom Caucus’ have broken the GOP. The party of “law and order” is about to seat chaos agents and criminals in
I forced myself to read through everything that happened there. The detailed stuff, the media largely covered the drama on the floor. It's long, boring and I don't suggest. AOC did give a good detailed analysis prior to the last vote on her IG if anyone wants it.
What I got is in their rush to make gains the R's House ended up hobbling themselves and their ability to achieve their aims from now to 24. Like they apparently plan all this for a year, which means they should have been ready going in. When the opportunity presented itself they jumped at it and tossed out things they wanted for a long time, aside leap frogging for positions, but didn't really think the logistics through.
They got "some" things but much else just stumped themselves. Also the D's got a LOT of information about them and their party relations they couldn't figure out before which is advantageous to them and syncs with the D's new media outreach plans (which are pretty good imo).
Last, Gaetz voting for Trump put the rest in a bad position particularly with MAGA, NAR, so on where they were forced publicly to NOT vote for him. Now I see in the clusters they are being labelled RINO's or "Uniparty" is the new phrase. So they all have a mess on their hands to say the least. Careful what you wish for, you just might get it I suppose.
I also remember when he announced his run and you posted, NO Way Dumbass I'm breaking my NDA and telling everything and tagged the whole clan. Not a single push back ever! They were definitely aware of you and maybe worried? Cause you let it rip and it's been glorious! As always..Thank You Very Much. ))
Happy New Year ! I use your Atlantic City Story often since you told it on one of your first podcasts. Always with credit to you and a go follow him. Peace and Love.
What’s clear Noel is, that Republicans infighting will give the Biden administration more time to get more bills through. However if reports are correct the metal detectors are removed from the Capital , not good! Let’s hope for sanity and peace!
The 20 anarchists who are holding up everything were courted and promised the world from McCarthy but for naught. He is an empty shell of a man, who thinks he “deserves” the Speakership. Just like respect, it has to be earned and he has not done that. What a logjam! Such an embarrassment
Wow! Always spot on with laser focus on what is actually happening. As a UFAlum, I fear their coveted place as one of the nation’s best universities will be ruined by political extremism. McCarthy, like Trump is an egomaniac and must step aside. He doesn’t care.
So eloquently written Noel. And spot on as usual. I heard the other day on "American PsyOp' that the I AM cult influenced the Koch brothers and the start of the Libertarian movement. The rot runs deep and we're just beginning to smell just how rotten it all is.

Brilliant writing, as always, Noel. Thank you ❤️

Excellent insights. And Rock history! Thanks Noel.
