Yes, we've reached the portion of the afternoon where we're reminded that Republicans ended slavery.

The R party let the [crazy] dogs out. Now, they can't control them. They unleashed their crazies onto this entire country.

So many of these clowns should not be in Congress — they should be in jail or home, after losing their elections or forced to resign or forbidden to hold office as insurrectionists etc etc. Therefore, here we are.

The Rs are being held hostage by the very people they should have silenced, criticized, demoted, marginalized, testified against, voted against. Instead MTG is the current defacto leader.

Problems of their own making. McCarthy created and owns this.

Why are the Republicans so long winded at this point? Clearly what he's saying isn't going to change anyones mind.

Oh GOP...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I think you're wrong. My relatives, who are all moderate/independent sometimes-voters in NC, have been texting me asking wtf is going on. The last time that happened was Jan 6th.


What is your position/occupation in DC?


I work in politics. They're totally uninterested in it. LOL


Bingo. It's on the news so they are interested. My family similarly texts me when things happen in my area of expertise,
