Get in the spirit!
For the first in America's history, the House of Representatives is without a speaker. Kevin McCarthy was no one's first choice, and his nomination came with a hefty price. Of the many things he agreed to in order to secure support from his fellow Republicans, allowing them to remove him at any time is what led to his being voted out on Oct. 3, 2023.
As of the time of this writing, the House has an interim speaker but it is essentially existing in chaos. Speaking of chaos, social media erupted in Kevin McCarthy jokes, and we couldn't help but snag a few of our faves. By the way, Kevin McCarthy is still a member of Congress. Imagine getting fired but having to show back up to work the next day. We could never.

Feelin' the spirit.
Nothing goes to waste
It's that special time of year when Spirit Halloween stores take over abandoned furniture stores, old gym, and of course the office of former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. This year I'll be dressing up as his gavel!
The boys are not back in town.
This joke is for all my Gen X'ers who have fond memories of the 1988 cinematic classic Young Guns. I love wordplay almost as much as I love trying to wrap my mind around Emilio Estevez playing Billy the Kid. You must be Billy the Kidding me!
Revenge is a dish best voted out.
Congress made Kevin McCarthy an offer he couldn't refuse.
