It's almost like these maga goofballs are starting to realize most of the corruption in Washington is in their own party. Although most of the stuff on his list is pretty equally distributed between the 2 parties. It's all universal corruption. It's actually kind of cool that people in the 2 parties who hate each other are starting to realize they're both complaining about a lot of the same things. It's pretty bizarre, too.

At least you aren't calling it Santorum.

They're too busy wearing the sheets.

Hopefully it's made with steel I-beams.

Why'd you let us make bunk beds!? That was a terrible idea!

Scalise is probably mature enough to handle the job, but holy shit...Gym Jordan!? Hard pass.

They had that one banner that said something like "we are domestic terrorists." I think that's basically their platform.

It's really stressful, watching the two parties in a chess game over who gets to be in control, and the good guys still think they can compromise with the republicans. I think they're finally starting to understand that the republicans never negotiate in good faith. They will change the rules to suit their needs, every single time. We have all been screaming this at the Democrats for at least 15 years now. I think they're starting to understand. So maybe that's a good sign. I'm honestly glad we have guys like Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin. They're sharp as a tack, so as long as they're on our side I have hope that there's a plan.

But there's always that worry that certain people don't understand what's at stake. I'm not even that worried about Trump, I doubt he has 5 more years left in him. He has poisoned the republican party, and they're really starting to realize that the truth doesn't matter. They can say anything and their base will believe it. And they must acquire power at all costs, or there will be no future for them. And even God is on their side. This is a powder keg that is about to erupt into violence, and countries like Russia are fanning the flames. I keep hoping it'll improve, but it just keeps getting worse. And a lot of the people I care about believe this shit.

And the republican extremists just killed the guy who was steering this shitty little carbon fiber submersible of ours. What could go wrong?

I know a lot more than you realize. I wrote another reply that explains a bit more. I'm just trying to be pragmatic here about what's best for the country. We have no speaker now, with a pending government shutdown in just a few weeks. And we saw how long it took for those lunatics to confirm McCarthy, when they already had a speaker lined up. They don't even have a replacement lined up. They're the dog that managed to catch the car. Things are about to get a lot worse in Washington, and that's not even including the fact that the next speaker will be even worse. I understand why the Democrats are pissed off at him, he's an asshole. There was also a point in time when everyone thought Boehner was as bad as it gets.

No, the republicans are 100% to blame here. They're an absolute joke. But we still have a country to run, and the Democrats usually govern from a pragmatic viewpoint.

What's better for America?

• keep McCarthy in the speaker seat for another 16 months and take the wind out of the sails of the maga extremists, and have a speaker who twice already has compromised with the Democrats when the clock ran down.
• help the maga extremists remove McCarthy and then the country goes into a quagmire of no house leadership for 6 months, causing massive amounts of suffering to government employees and others who depend on the government because of the 5 month long government shutdown that ensues.

McCarthy is a piece of shit, hell all the republicans are, but now Matt Gaetz has a taste of power. And I don't know if you've heard him speak, but he seems pretty intelligent. He could end up being the "smart version of Trump" that we've all been fearing. As bad as McCarthy has been, I have a feeling the next speaker will be worse.

That is not blaming the Democrats for what is happening. I'm just shocked that they aren't doing some damage control. It's like when King Solomon had 2 women fighting over a baby. So he offers to cut the baby in half. And one woman says "no, she can have the baby!" and he knows she's the real mother. The Democrats are usually like her.

At the same time, I bet McCarthy's stress level just went from 1000 to 1. LOL

This is what I don't get. Yeah McCarthy is a weasel. But by republican standards he's still fairly moderate. By the Dems helping to push him out, I can pretty much guarantee that whoever replaces him will be 100x worse. Like speaker majorie green. And with another budget battle coming in 6 weeks, I think the Democrats voted very foolishly today. Their votes definitely aren't going to make things any better.

You can't have shame without principles.

Walnut definitely isn't what I would call affordable.
