Troy Nehls, from Texas, calls Trump ‘the greatest president of my lifetime’ and says he will nominate him to replace Kevin McCarthy
A Texas Republican said he would nominate Donald Trump to be the next speaker of the US House of Representatives, after the party completed the unprecedented removal of one of its own, Kevin McCarthy.
Troy Nehls said: “This week, when the US House of Representatives reconvenes, my first order of business will be to nominate Donald J Trump for speaker of the US House of Representatives.
“President Trump, the greatest president of my lifetime, has a proven record of putting America first and will make the House great again.”
The speaker does not have to be a member of Congress, though no speaker has ever assumed the role without holding a seat.
Slowly getting sick of that drama queen country.

The fallout that proceeded the presidential election in 2016. Will be regarded as one of the most significant turning points in American history and political culture. Combine a narcissistic sociopath (Trump) and a global communication platform (insert SV social media company/service). The result is a base of unremarkable individuals who lives revolve around them and their entitled "rights", and anyone that disagrees is automatically the enemy.
And the festering ball of white hot rage because America had the audacity to elect a Black man as President.
Quite a few of them admit it, even - claiming that Obama was "divisive" (lol, really?) and too "extreme" (rotflmao) and that they were forced to vote for donnie as a result, and that donnie being in office is the fault of Obama.
The subtext is really: "other Americans actually voted for a BLAH and we had him for eight years even, and now I'm going to do the worst thing I can think of at the voting booth".
I think the fallout of the Obama election would be that. Trump is just the latest evolution of the tea party that swept the midterms after.
Like the game you play with your friends around fortune cookies, where you add "in bed" at the end, any metaphor about America needs to end in "with a gun".
Drama queen with a gun feels about right.
