If you can call alcohol leaking from one's eyes "crying," then yes, Boehner is crying.

god, you get teary eyed at one religious speech and busted doing one too many bzitzti shots off a greek woman with a dermic implant of jesus on the cross and holes drilled in her hands, shirt tied aroudn your head, mouth salivating lustily at her slowly moistening underwear while synthol-swole boy king twinks lap at your haunches, their pliant calves pale while their tense, seams-to-bursting shoulders have an aura of golden bake from the medditeranean sun

To be honest, his ability to show emotion and cry breaks up the patriarchal thought that men need to be strong boys and hide their emotions. John Boehner is the most feminist speaker of the house we've ever had. If he were in my district, I'd vote Boehner all the time, 100% of the time.

I guess they were holding a people no one would want to gently caress convention at the hotel.

Also somewhat appropriate since the American Revolution was started by tax avoiding whiners.

TPM posted:

Since there appears to be no significant House figure willing to run for Speaker, there's a massive push to cajole and pressure Paul Ryan into running. It seems crystal clear that he really, really doesn't want the job. But that doesn't mean he won't end up agreeing to take it. But here's the thing. People are starting to seriously moot the idea of Boehner remaining on in a caretaker role through the 2016 election. He doesn't need 218 votes. He's already Speaker. He doesn't need anything.

Now, it's already clear that Boehner will remain in place until a new Speaker is elected - and that could be a while regardless. This caretaker idea through January 2017 plan seems far-fetched. But then, so did McCarthy being deposed before he even became Speaker.

But here's something to consider on the off chance something like this did happen. It would be a pretty big transformation. Because Boehner 2.0 would be basically the Man of Steel and indestructible for almost 18 months.

The cudgel wielded by the 'Freedom Caucus' and the broader House GOP right would disappear?

Threaten to depose him? Right.

Say he's not following the Hastert Rule? Right.

He would be indestructible. No one would have any real leverage over him. And remember, the Speakership is a constitutional office.

I'm pretty sure that won't happen. But if it did happen it would mean the Freedom Caucus antics would backfire on them spectacularly.

It would be amazing if the Pope's visit, the Freedom Caucus's horseshit, and the looming Trumpocracy transformed Boehner into an engine of righteous vengeance against the Tea Party fuckheads who've overshadowed all his efforts as speaker for the next year and change, but I wouldn't bet on it.
