It’s playing chess with a pigeon, with the expected shitting and strutting. And somehow there’s a lot of people cheering for the pigeon.

I think Pelosi outplayed the pigeon. I think she wanted both Cheney and Kinzinger on there, knew that the GQP would cry about it, and that McCarthy would appoint shitbirds on purpose that she would then reject- freeing up a slot for Kinzinger anyway.
