Newt Gingrich can suck a fat chode because he was one of the originators of the “I will have a tantrum until you give me what I want” tactics that the GOP has used for at least 30 years now

He's to blame for the entire thing, lmao. Fuck this fat, adulterous, peice of shit. This is the inevitable outcome of the extreme partisanship he started in the 90s
Massive shitbag complains about other massive shitbags
Why do these societal vampires hang on so long?
This chode was the guy who normalized shutting down the government. He is a Christian Nationalist who raged about how milquetoast Democrats were fascists.
His cholesterol should do the world a favor.
Fuck this guy and every waste-of-carbon republican over the last 50 years. Except maybe chuck hagel and a few like him. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
They did exactly what Putin is paying them to do - sabotage the US Government.
Stop it. He's not paying them a dime, er ruble. He doesn't need to. He's extorting them with all the juicy dirt the dumb fucks had in their emails when the RNC servers got hacked in 2016.
Tbf there can be a carrot AND a stick. We know Russia gave money to the NRA, who in turn donates heavily to republicans. Those juicy campaign donations from the NRA/the threat of them drying up if you go against what Putin wants are also likely levers being used.
The same NRA proven to be funded by overseas (Russian) interests, which acts like a lobby laundering program?
Dude. Stop. Putin isn't literally paying them.
Which btw, makes them seem smarter then they really are.
Their actions are motivated and influenced based on a mix of stupidity, social media, echo chambers, contarianism, and another dose of stupidity.
AKA "useful idiots"
Sure, but that's significantly different then being an actual foreign agent, as evidenced by Sen. Mendez's indictments.
Being a useful idiot isn't a crime by itself, but being an elected official and a foreign agent is.
Newt, you set a great example you worthless fuck.
Unleashed furries?!
That's how I read it too! Lol. I can see Matt Gaetz yiffing around the floor of congress
He had 8 of them under the conference table and unleashed them when he got angwy
the trouble with tribbles
I like the animated ones
Shut the fuck up Gingrich nobody cares about your fuckhead opinions.
I didn't know he was still alive. I wonder how old he is.
Welcome to the party you helped create, Newt.
Unleash the furries!
Wait, no they like leashes don’t they…
Leash the furries!
Newt, you practically started this shit. Eat my ass.
Well well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions.
Newt, probably not.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Well right now, [the House] can’t govern, and I think that the eight people who betrayed the conference and joined the Democrats to defeat the 96 percent of the conference unleashed furies that I don’t think they’d even dreamed of, because it gave every person the right to be equally destructive and equally angry,” Gingrich, also a Fox News contributor, told “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream.
The former Republican Speaker noted there is a “very real danger” the House could elect someone and in a few weeks, “you’re going to have a group of people blow up and decide to go back into the same mess.”
Republicans now are looking to ensure this can’t happen again, though a resolution of this nature would likely not be possible to vote on until the House elects a new Speaker and returns to its normal functions.
In the days that followed, several Republicans looking to take the Speaker’s gavel were met with internal conflict within the GOP conference preventing some candidates from garnering the 217 votes necessary for the Speakership.
initially clinched the GOP’s support and beat Jordan, but he dropped out a day later when it became apparent he would not reach the 217 votes.
Jordan failed to reach 217 votes on three ballots last week, actually losing more GOP support with each round.
