"For now, [McCarthy] has won over just enough of his critics, and with it, the speakership. All he had to do was sacrifice power, and no small part of his dignity, to get it." https://t.co/IyYGsdxHC9 via @russellberman

This is not the first time Flynn has said “hey, dimwits, there is no plan. Q’s not real.”

What’s happened to those groups since then?https://t.co/F6JYnonayh
