Once McCarthy is ousted the House comes to a total halt until they elect a new Speaker. The House is the only Republican branch of our government, and this is insanity.

You don’t have to negotiate when you pass one continuing resolution after another. In essence Nancy Pelosi’s spending is still our pattern. So afraid of the boogy man shut down theatre. Remember when Obama shut the govt down for 17 days to get Obamacare?

Republican messaging is so beta male it is nauseating. So afraid of their own shadow instead of trying to do what is right. Maybe they are just afraid of media and their big donors. Enough.

Neither do RINOs so why do they always get their way? Why don’t THEY come over to the conservative side?

RINOs are disgusting POS Dem lite jerks.

Flip the control to GOP and the Dems still get their way. Pubics always cave.

“exactly - certain people are burning down the House with no plan - and little grasp of the reality of the difficulty of governing with a wisp of a majority. bad things can happen because R’s rarely outwit D’s. and that’s easy to do when hotheads go off the deep end.”

Bad things HAVE happened. We are going down the drain and too many “leaders” are playing like it is business as usual. What has been done has not worked for the people who make the country run, not the government who is self perpetuating.

“The first thing that needs to happen is that the masses need to wake up to the fact that for most of their lives they’ve only had the illusion of choice, then we can go from there.”

Bingo. Some other illusions is that main stream media is telling truth and Fox News is a radical conservative outlet.

Do not clutch your pearls. RHINOS have been in bed with lefties for years. From reports of the work ethic in DC, the solutions could have been done months ago, heck since the session began, with a solid plan to reduce spending strategically and agreements to defund Ukraine and fund border security. Instead they go home for long stretches and have 2 hour lunches and spend little time actually working. So do not cry for lack of solutions. They all need to get serious and do work for the American people instead of themselves.
