        Yeah, and he’s got the type of face that makes him look like a completely different person depending on the angle. Kinda weirds me out.

      I mean, about 70% of the GOP house didn’t want to certify the election. This speaker was always going to be a MAGA asshole that was backing Trump’s fascist lies.
