His plan is simple. Pay some underage girls for sex.
Winning.
Oh come on, cut the guy some slack 🙄
That joke's getting older than the girls he pays for sex.
You forgot the coke.
Geeking.
Starting to get a little too old for him there.
The other side of the argument is that McCarthy is the GOP’s greatest fundraiser, and getting rid of him would help Democrats take back the House. No replacement for McCarthy would have the same set of relationships and the donor network and political operation.
This is, to me, the winning argument - it hurts them politically, both by taking away their best fundraiser and by replacing him with somebody who's likely to be even more extreme and so do even more dumb things the Democrats can campaign against. A McCarthy replacement is even likely to shut down the government in 45 days than McCarthy is, and for Democrats that's probably a good thing - Republicans screwing up air travel right before Thanksgiving and taking away government employees' paychecks right before Christmas.
Is it good for the country, maybe not, but Republicans losing the House in 2024 will do several orders of magnitude more good for the country than whatever harm might be done by that short-term idiocy.
Let them fight.
Why is he starting to look like Richard Nixon? Is this like that thing with the crab formfactor?
How do you know he isn’t Richard Nixon?
This guy looks like a straight up cartoon villain

Fixed it for you.
The Republicans can clean up their own mess. Democrats will vote present on the motion to vacate. Unless a political promise is made, they'll vote for Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.
Excellent article exploring the many factors involved. Personally, I think that the dems should let the GOP thrash themselves into chaos.
