Interesting Political Moment for Non-Cowards

Interesting moment in US Politics. Goofball Gaetz is going to try and push out McCarthy. No surprise.

If McCarthy’s only motivation is to hang on to his gavel, he’s got an option he won’t take for fear of angering what little of the base still supports him. That includes that decaying orange turd he’s suckled up to.

Forge a coalition from the center of both parties to keep his seat and McCarthy actually has a chance to silence the extremes on both sides. I think we’d all be surprised at how many votes he’d get. Then pass the appropriation bills with that majority and provide a chance to move past all of the insanity that now prevails.

But that would require some sorely lacking adulting on both sides of the aisle and a pretty courageous leap by all. I doubt the Dems, or anyone really, trusts McCarthy enough to pitch in for a bigger than party objective. Both parties are so wrapped up in their own bows to even begin to untie the knots they’re strangling everyone with.

Everyone would lose something. But there’s a chance of not losing the whole ballgame.

But there’s a moment here. If anyone can find the courage to seize it.
