Former House Speaker John Boehner cries during Pelosi portrait unveiling

Get fucked.
This is utterly Shakespearean!

The other time is Spock’s funeral. But that’s it and just one tear.

As far as the crying is concerned, we saw this before with Boehner.

Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) is a medical condition causing sudden, frequent, uncontrollable crying and/or laughing that doesn’t match how you feel. It can happen in people with a brain injury or certain neurologic conditions.
I used to see this a lot in people after bypass surgery--I would warn patients about it. It had something to do with the bypass pump. I haven't seen it now in decades.
So I can understand that. What pisses me off is the paean to Pelosi. My wife turned to me and said: "Is this some other Nancy Pelosi we don't know about?"

Not surprisingly, Adam Kinzinger is a fan.
Kinzinger had tweeted, "John Boehner is a class act. Be more like Boehner."
They should both just hug it out and cry together.

He was no great shakes as Speaker of the House, either. Utterly spineless.

We're working out the rules for a new game in my house. I read a (in this case, entirely accurate) thread title or headline out loud. Wife gets to guess whether it's an Onion / Babylon Bee parody, or a real thing.

Agree 100%....my problem these days is that there are dozens in the Senate and House today just as fucking pathetic. Just a bunch of pussies that call themselves Conservative, starting with Mitch McConnell, what a crock of shit. No wonder we loose elections.

We lose elections for the very same reason we have weak leaders.
It’s because there’s no shortage of weak republicans.
If you need a little light reading that proves my point, here you go.
We won the house but there was no shortage of people that gave up long before it was over. Until WE change the mentality, the Boners of the world will flourish. It’s almost as if some folks are happy with losing as long as they can be angry about it.
