Thank God it's over! Now, the retribution begins!
Cry havoc and slip loose the dogs of war!
Speaker of the House Reek is looking forward to many days of subservient service. Good luck
I predict this coming Monday night,… attempting to set house rules will be telling. Blow it up, blow it up……..
When the 18 Republican members from Biden House districts won't go along with the proposed rules, the Gang of 20 will demand that "My Kevin" force them to do so. When that doesn't happen, I predict there will be the first motion to vacate the chair.
at best
I'm thinking the Main Street Republicans who will get shafted for Committee and Subcommittee memberships and chairs will "join right in there."
Several have already talked about Cavin' McCarthy's excess consideration of the wants of the Freedom Caucus. They may want to back away from some of the Rules proposed to give even more power to that group.
I want to see the expression on Doug Lamborn's pudgy face when My Kevin bumps Matt Gaetz over Lamborn on the Armed Services Committee. So rich!
Everyday the House is gaveled into session (they occasionally do Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but not often) The first action will be taking care of the dump McCarthy request.
Hopefully Boebert earned a pink slip in 2024. What stooges on public display.
Howler monkeys…flinging feces. Whatcha gonna do?
You presume that McCarthy once had a soul.
Actually I'm agnostic so I don't think anyone has a soul. But by the standard meaning most give to it, yes I think he once thought of making things better. But he let his desire for the Speakership consume him.
I don't know about his soul, but I do know he was castrated during that marathon. What I want to know, now is, who has them in their pocket?
The Speaker Election Process was Wonderful -It showed us as a vibrant, open, robust democracy
And we can lay the "popular vote" boast directly on the national and state organizations who did not recruit and support candidates in many of the "Red" districts. In 2022, Ballotpedia found "21 U.S. House races without a Democratic candidate and 11 U.S. House races without a Republican candidate." Ballotpedia's method is "In California and Washington state, which have top-two primary systems, a race was counted as not having a Democratic or Republican candidate if no candidate from a major party advanced from the primary election to the general election." So it is worth a mention that seven of those 11 without a Republican candidate were in California, and I know several of them had Republicans in the jungle primary.
My statistics professor started the first class telling us "torture data enough and it will tell you whatever you want." Fair point on what you said but the bottom line is, I think, that the House is closely representative of the country.
And it's a knife edge. I think it was 6,000 votes in 5 specific races, including Boebert/Frisch, and it would have been a Dem majority in the House. Probably 6,000 the other way and the Republicans would have had 5 more seats.
We're in a weird time where for the last 20+ years it truly has been 50:50 with the battle lines hardening.
I agree on the overall description of the House being "closely representative of the county." That said, unopposed candidates run up the score. WAPO assessment:
Not contesting districts is bad practice, and Republicans benefit over Democrats by 24-6.
One of my immediate supervisors; in my first job out of college in the early '70s; said there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, statistics.
for a short summary of who ELSE has said it … https://quoteinvestigator.com/2022/06/22/lies-statistics/
What Gaetz and McCarthy really said to each other, imagined by Bad Lip Reading
Boom.
Different voice, but he seems to have picked up a speech trait or two from good ol' #44!

How in the world do you know about this LBisaWPOS?? EmptyG claims there is a blackout! (As I’m sitting here watching it on tv)
Maybe she needs to switch stations.
That woman is too stupid to breathe. I've been watching it all day and I don't even have cable.
That is mostly an indication of her very limited and selective intake of information. When you have your head up Donald Trumps’ ass that far, you don’t really have a clear view of the world.
The same people who extorted the 118th Congress were the congressional accomplices of the murderous attack on our Capitol and our Constitution. It is way past time to break up that collusion by indicting and prosecuting these criminals. Their expressed desire is to overthrow the government of the United States.
It is time for the Justice Department to move decisively to bring a wave of accountability to this cabal of criminals and their capo di tutti capo.
Garland tarries at OUR peril.
She forgot to remove her "I'm an idiot" blocker for mainstream media access.
the run-off election was Oct 30, and MTG was tweeting on 11/1/2022.
She was right … no one was covering civil unrest on November 1, because there was very, VERY little.
Even up to certification of the vote on Dec. 12, there wasn't much in the way of violence.
I guess it takes 3 weeks or so for the Right to pull together an amateur-hour insurrection.
