I hope the Republicans do elect a Democrat SOTH. Apparently, it is going to take something this dysfunctional to wake some people up to the reality that we no longer have a government of the people.

I don't get this comment. Everyone there is elected and representing their districts. Yeah, we wouldn't vote for over half of them, but unfortunately these are who were elected. This goes all the way back to the botched "red wave". We seem to be the party of political suicide bombers. This is all at the feet of Trump, but that is JMHO. Call it 3-d chess I guess. Jefferies becomes Speaker? "Trust Trump's plan". Whatever, but no one appointed those in the House of Representatives, that is where we are with sentiment in the US and the mix seems about right to me of representation. We better get about the business of unity and persuasion instead of division.

I've come to the point where I am not voting for RINO's any longer. If a candidate doesn't earn my vote, I undervote.

McCarthy gave up the debt ceiling and was trying to push a CR through and he didn't even take the bat off his shoulder. If they can't vote to stop deficit spending that HAS created ~$30T in debt since 2008 and return to normal order, why does it matter if they are a Republican or Democrat? They are no use to me.
