If we could get rid of the right most 20% and the left most 20% we would probably have a much better country At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Great idea but who gets to decide if you are a 20%er or do you just self declare? "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11804 | Kevin McCarthy just lost a 4th vote lol The right cant agree to govern 5th time the charm????????? This is the effects of letting Trump and the crazy MAGA'S into the party There used to be a time back in the day when the republican party kept their distance from the John Birch society Now the republican party is pretty much the John Birch society unable to govern due to seething hatred Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12538 | We can all take solace in the fact that if McCarthy does sell enough of his soul to the 20 far-right hostage takers in order to gain the speakership, he will be absolutely miserable in the role for the next two years (or less, if they decide to boot him). “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4256 | It's very pathetic on the part of the Republican holdouts, the house cannot convene until a speaker is chose, so this nonsense is essentially shutting down congress. This is the first time this has happened in over 100 years, so this is very uncommon (to anyone saying it's routine bickering), the large majority of the party want McCarthy, just vote for him and move on, what is the end goal of the holdouts? I am honestly thinking the Democrats should start voting for McCarthy just to prevent the MAGA-tards from getting their wish for some extreme "compromise". Then again, it is kind of great political fodder since it makes the Republicans look incompetent, so I can understand both arguments. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | Many people think McCarthy wouldn’t hold to a deal with the Democrats for some votes. Or he might lose too much of his own party to succeed if he did.. But it would be fun to consider a deal and tell the MAga group. “Guess what, we agreed you can’t do all those investigation of Hunter’s laptop and every other recent conspiracy theory in the last 6 years.. sign the deal with an LOL. ( I’m not against the investigations, but would enjoy the fits they would have.) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
