A page on FB posted this pic along with several others of Dems with their popcorn so they could sit back and watch the show.
The GOP becomes more and more of a clown car every day.

McCarthy loses sixth vote -- now is their opportunity to Dump Trump!! Join the Democrats now to vote for Jefferies and that will be the end of Trump and Republican extremism. History has shown that voters will punish losers; just remember what happened to the Dover, Pennsylvania schoolboard.
Now is your opportunity, RINOs, to end Trumpism once and and for all. The door is open; will you step through?

They won't.
A GOP vote for Jefferies is tantamount to political suicide, and the House is chock full of invertibrates on that side of the aisle.

Such would only take 6 RINOs. I remember the Reagan Democrats; how about the Biden Republicans?

There's been some talk that Republicans are offering Democrats a higher ratio on committees (and even some chairs) if enough of them will vote 'present' to lower McCarthy's threshold.
This doesn't just smack of desperation, it screams it.

Apparently, there is an edit war going on the Freedom Caucus Wikipedia page as some editors are listing "facism" in the Ideology section. Shoe fits, in my opinion. Rapid updates to the page are continuing.
