McCarthy Falls to His Knees, Gives Matt Gaetz a Hummer on the House Floor and, In Turn, Is Elected Speaker of the House

Well, OK, it didn't happen exactly that way. But it was close to that.

Since he gave away a lot of power and about half of his spine, one wonderswhat is going to happen.

Here is my prediction: We are going to be in for two years of Leglislation by Terrorism. The spoiled children of the Trumpanzee wing of the GOP will thraten to shut down the government at every turn. There will be a default on the debt, leading to a massive downgrading of the creditwortiness of the U.S., which will greatly increase borrowing costs, which we will have to pay. Weapons, roads, you name it, all of that will need to be reduced because the government will have to pay more to service the debt.
