'A bridge too far': Enraged House Republicans demand Kevin McCarthy punish Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger

For Repuglicans, "Bi-Partizenship" means, "Do it MY Way! or get the fuck out!"

House Republicans are pushing Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to punish Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney — by revoking their other committee assignments or reprimanding them — as punishment for serving on a select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.
CNN reports that the push to punish Cheney and Kinzinger gained steam Sunday after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed Kinzinger to serve on the select committee — and he accepted.

"Initially, most rank-and-file Republicans were content to let Cheney serve without much of a fight, but Kinzinger's addition has changed the conversation and has put a new level of pressure on McCarthy," the network reports. "While the loudest cries have come from members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus, sources say that the sentiment has started to spread beyond the hard-line crew."

One GOP member said "there's a lot" of Republicans behind the push, adding that "supporting Pelosi's unprecedented move to reject McCarthy's picks was a bridge too far."

The Freedom Caucus needs to lawyer up.

It's been that way at least since Gingrich was speaker. They throw out demand after demand and don't give an inch in return.

I remember an editorial from the '90s comparing Gingrich's habitual smirking sneer to "a two-year old who has just successfully smeared his face with chocolate pudding." It fit.

For years I thought Gingrich looked like someone else I'd seen before but I could never figure out who it was.

One day it hit me out of nowhere: Oscar the Grouch. Same grin, same personality, and that hairstyle somehow fit too.

As for bipartisanship . . . we all experimented in college, it ain't a life choice or anything.
