The squabble on the House floor was partisan political theater, nothing more.
Yawn. Another warmongering statist is elected to head up the “right” side of the corporatist uniparty in the House of Representatives. The other side of the uniparty—the “woke” contingent, segregated on the “left” side of the aisle—condemned his appointment as a victory for Trump.

The Kevin McCarthy Mess Is Peak Trumpism https://t.co/kwaulwe3Dx via @VanityFair

Well, maybe. Let me tell you what it really is.
More of the same. More war, more debt, more suffering for the American people and, above all, more death and destruction in faraway lands, thanks to the likes of Kevin McCarthy and most members of Congress.
It was mildly amusing to watch careerist politicians tussle. Mike Rogers, would-be chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, had to be restrained. He was prevented from attacking Matt Gaetz by Richard Hudson while assorted millionaires and K Street water carriers looked on.
I expected a repeat of the caning of Senator Charles Sumner during the late 1850s in the contentious lead-up to the War Between the States. No such luck. Gaetz didn’t have a cane.
It was an irrelevant, grandstanding three-ring circus of Brioni Vanquish clad warmongers. In regard to foreign policy, nothing will change, although the Republican faction of the uniparty has promised to “audit” the transfer of freebies to Ukraine.
It will not end the transfer, mind you. Congress will not close down this aspect of the pernicious neoliberal project. Moreover, it will refuse to bring the troops home. It will not close down more than 750 USG military bases in 80 nations.
Russia has three dozen foreign bases. China, five.
Sadly, there is less than a handful of folks in Congress opposed to funding the ultranats of Ukraine, assisting Saudis in the serial murder of helpless Yemenis, celebrating (and paying for) the slaughter of Palestinian children, journalists, and activists, and illegally occupying eastern Syria and stealing its oil, to name but three of its crimes.
