Republicans are back to square one. It's a game of congressional snakes and ladders, where every space on the board is a serpent.

More than two weeks after a handful of House conservatives ousted Kevin McCarthy from the speaker's chair, the party is still looking for a someone who can successfully reach the top of the board.

No one yet has even come close.

Republicans couldn't govern their way out of a paper bag.

not with out setting the bag on fire, and then blowing it up with.

Then blaming it on the other party

To be fair, the dems did step on that dog crap.

GODDAMMIT!! LORAINNE! THE REPUBLICANS JUST PUT DOG CRAP ON OUR PORCH AGAIN! OF COURSE I STEPPED ON IT, IT WAS ON FIRE! YES, MY GOOD SHOES!

Because they have no interest in governing, they want to rule. They want a rigid hierarchy with a strong white man at the top who rules by decree. They want to be able to do whatever they want while dictating how everyone else lives their life. Religion is the primary driver of this type of thinking, thus the reason it's a cancer to modern society.

The Party couldn't govern their way out of a paper bag.
