    Frankly everyone is responsible for the situation we are in. Everyone has some blame and pointing fingers accomplishes nothing. Kicking the can down the road for 79 years and letting corruption fester and letting people grift in office their whole lives eventually takes you to a very bad place.

      Right! Which is hysterical as Gaetz' stated motivation was that McCarthy cooperated with Dems to pass the gov't funding bill to avoid the Shutdown. So he of course and 8 Republican extremists roll with Democrats to toss him.

      This after McCarthy essentially helped Gaetz by allowing him to sit on committees and ignored his penchant for fucking underage girls and using drugs..

        Trump won't attempt to get in on the Speaker of the House job... but he'll let the news cycles keep him in the current headlines which is free campaign air-time that costs him nothing and takes attention off some of his legal battles.

        Its difficult to glean anything positive from this Speaker move on either side. Just fodder for more shit slinging... as there's wasn't plentiful around already. Personally, it's disgusting bullshit and my investments are taking a beating in a crappy economy. That sucks for all...

          Pretty much. My real estate investments are still doing well. This area is still booming. Glad I didn’t buy stocks.

            It’s impossible to make any kind of five year business plan right now. Things are too chaotic. You just ride the storm out.

              Not all but many Dems are laughing at the GOP in-fighting and eating their own, and the Qanon crew growing more incestuous insular...

                  Can't blame the Dems for letting this play out for the most part...

                  The concerning aspect is the position of Speaker is the third highest ranked position within the republic's power structure and succession hierarchy. That's not a trivial role to be playing games with. A large majority... call it the middle of the political spectrum, of the nation are not laughing and the serious impact of this has a huge potential of causing more harm than good for the nation at a time where we really don't need more bullshit...

                    This would be the best thing to happen to both parties. This archaic two party system needs to be blown to smithereens. It's ridiculous in this day and age, we are forced to pick one of only two pathetic choices. I cannot believe we are a quarter of the way into the 21st century, and we still only have two choices. Sure, we can vote for others, but there is no realistic way in hell anyone other than one of the two crooked parties is going to win. But, I guess libtard led by the nose sheep like Nickdcantthinkforhimself are the exact reason why.

                      I couldn't agree more, I've always thought we need at least four parties to govern as coalitions rather than two infighting Reds vs. Blues vs. other Blues and Reds. A fifth centrist party would be great. I think the argument is that two parties keeps things more stable but it's getting harder and harder to make that argument...

                        Pure and simple... money is keeping this 2 party goat rodeo going. Find a way to shift enough money out of red & blue and a new party will rise.

                          I think the Democrats had it in for McCarthy and saw him as a bad-faith bargainer that had burned Biden and the House minority leadership reneging several times, they also maybe hoping the "Freedom Caucus" has enough rope to hang itself by alienating people with their fringe batshit stuff and gain a majority in the next two cycles...

                          It looks like Jim Jordan might get it, but he seems genuinely dumb as a fucking stump and routinely looks like a dumbass in any of his "inquiries"...

                                So it's him or the white supremacist douche?

                                Again you have the nutjob minority running everything. Why can't they find someone who isn't who 10 or 20 Dems can vote for?
