    What a coincidence! I plunged a toilet today, so that’s two turds leaving the House.

    He is no longer providing an adequate RoI for his corporate sponsors. Now he’ll pass through the revolving door into the private sector where he can directly work for his corporate sponsors instead of being a proxy. A tail as old as time

    What a waste of fuckin’ sentience. I hope he’s hit with a court order requiring him to apologize to every tree he passes by for wasting the oxygen they so graciously provide to us. Seriously, I am struggling to think of a more complete and abject failure in modern American politics.

      I mean… The GQP is right there, and McKKKarthy is the Oxygen thief? He can at least string a complete sentence together. That puts him above half of his colleagues.

        Oh, I realize. I mean that McCarthy didn’t even accomplish any of the goals he himself said he had. I absolutely am not implying that any of his goals were actually good goals.

          Yea… At the end of the day, most of the GOP are Oxygen thieves. … I would say all, but I’m holding out hope at least one of them is dumber than they are evil.

        I’m talking about this in terms of whether he even achieved the goals that he said he had. And I feel like he accomplished absolutely fuck-all as Speaker.

    The letter reads as follows: “The Honorable the Speaker, House of Representatives, sir I hereby submit my resignation effective Dec. 31, 3034 as United States Representative of the 20th District of California.

    Hell of a typo. Only the 0 is correct. Added one to every other digit.

      Jeopardy was already all over his story; there was a prompt the other night about a House speaker that required 19 rounds of votes (or whatever it took idr) to be elected speaker.

    A majority was already down to 217 votes post-Santos but now down to 220 Republicans to get there. They just had a historically unproductive session and now it’s worse.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
