When Pelosi hands McCarthy the gavel he should make his joke a reality and beat her over the head with it.

Pelosi hands McCarthy

Actually, initial reports that I saw are that most of the House GOP (including a lot of the newcomers) are leaning toward Scalise rather than McCarthy to be Speaker.

Which I think would be a good choice. He is kind of in the same vein as Cruz and Rubio as sort of "MAGA Missing Link". Where they were/are Neo-Con types, but they have enough political intuition to see where the wind is blowing and ride it to their own power by following the waves. He has also generally been pretty good at call out the Left and the Media for their bullshit and knows better than to let his guard down around them (I am sure being shot and nearly killed by a raging Leftoid has nothing to do with that).

McCarthy will be speaker. Scalise will be majority leader.

Trump and MTG are supporting McCarthy while the Freedom Caucus is trying to get Andy Biggs as speaker.

The moderate Republicans will never back Biggs so Kevin McCarthy is ending up Speaker most likely

Good to know. Scalise I still think would have been the better choice, but McCarthy is....not terrible I guess? He is more steadfast than McConnell, but he does waffle a bit too much for my taste.

My impression of him is that he's just doing his best to balance competing factions in his caucus. He's not doing great on that front, but it's hard to imagine anyone else doing much better. He's an improvement over perennial bitch boy Paul Ryan, which is admittedly damning with faint praise. He's not actively sabotaging us like McConnell, so there's that as well.
