1. Photo in Oval Office had them all masked. . . .nt

[Walleye]

2. Sad faces on Republicans are a good thing. Schumer grinning next to the man who would be speaker

[bigtree]

3. which side looks like they won the midterms?

...

[Walleye]

4. Oh I was thinking the same thing

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Probably being the cowards they are, they're worried about djt's reaction to them going to the WH

and even sitting down w/ Pres. Biden...

[Walleye]

6. Written on McCarthy's face, lily livered Yellowbelly

[Warpy]

25. Well, the bastard has just had to give up on his lifelong dream

and I think he strongly suspects what's going to happen in the Klown Kongress, which is why he withdrew his name from the Speaker race, showing he's not totally stupid. It will be interesting to see what kind of horror TFG's fanboys pick.

He doesn't like it one bit, though, which is why he can't control that frowny face.

[Delphinus]

28. Whoa!

My first time online today – McCarthy doesn’t want to be speaker anymore?!

[Warpy]

29. Here, no paywall

https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/10/08/446889538/mccarthy-drops-out-of-speaker-race-throwing-gop-leadership-into-chaos

He probably secretly hoping they'll draft him but he dimly realizes it will never happen.

[Delphinus]

30. This is from 2015 though ...

[Warpy]

33. Damn, didn't see the date.

but I'd swear somebody posted it a day or two ago from the NYT.

Fuck the golden years.

[Delphinus]

36. ...

[GoCubsGo]

21. I'm wondering what's behind Schumer's smirk.

Could be he knows something about McCarthy that the rest of us don't. Like maybe he doesn't have the votes to become Speaker. Either that, or he's envisioning the clown show that's about to ensue under McCarthy.

[Walleye]

22. Maybe because at least he doesn't have to childproof his chamber

[CrispyQ]

42. He knows Kev is about to embark on the worst two years of his life. -nt

[brush]

7. Sorry, but McCarthy is so punchable.

[intheflow]

24. You take Kev, I'll take Mitch.

Because who should have to choose the most punchable R at the table?

[wnylib]

32. Poor McTurtle. Still minority leader.

Must be bitterly disappointed. So many people left to hurt, and not enough power to do it with his pompous audacity.

[SunSeeker]

8. LOL McCarthy is the dog that caught the car. nt

[Hekate]

18. Sank his teeth into a tire and is spinning around, thump thump thump

[SunSeeker]

37. I like that visual!

[calimary]

9. Looks like Kevvy has a sad.

And McConnell isn’t far behind.

[BradAllison]

10. McCarthy and McTurtle don't want to be seen with "them"

"Negotiating with Terrorists" is bad for their idiot fuck wad constituents.

[AverageOldGuy]

11. Who are . . ..

. . . those two grumpy old men in the foreground, right and left??

[KS Toronado]

12. Biden just tell a joke McCarthy didn't like?

Everybody does seem to be looking at him, plus Moscow Mitch is the other one not grinning,
anti-repug dig?

[PatSeg]

13. Ha, ha, ha!

Not everyone looks terribly happy!

[Biophilic]

14. Thanks for my best laugh of the day.

[Sky Jewels]

15. 1,000-Yard Stare on Kev-y.

[Sky Jewels]

16. Turtle looks like he just swallowed a bad piece of lettuce.

[DinahMoeHum]

31. And Schumer looks like a cat that just ate a bird.

[live love laugh]

17. LOL ... They MAD mad

[bigtree]

38. we glad

[live love laugh]

40. LOL

[BaronChocula]

19. It looks like the ex deli manager

wishes he was back in Bakersfield making mediocre sandwiches.

[Bluesaph]

20. It's the GOP!

They can’t allow a photograph to be taken with smiles! Their cultish fiends would have their heads!

[DownriverDem]

23. MAGA repubs

sure don't look like they won the House.

[Canoe52]

26. Love the painting of Teddy Roosevelt above Joe.

What was his quote, “walk softly and carry a big stick”?

[ancianita]

27. Rethug faces reflect the heavy burden of darkness they carry.

[FakeNoose]

34. Marge told Kevin, he'd better look as sullen as possible

Otherwise Chump will get the wrong idea. Chump might think they're conspiring against him.

[11 Bravo]

35. Kevin and Mitch both look seriously constipated.

[marmar]

39. Kevin McCarthy looks like a Madame Tussauds statue

[tinrobot]

41. Nancy - "I have the votes, not you."

Wouldn't be surprised if she just told McCarthy she got a few moderates to cross over.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

43. Just by looks, Chuck, Joe, and Nancy cast shade on Kremlin Kev and Moscow Mitch.
