Tomorrow the inmates will take over the asylum.

I'll be watching c-span.
It should be a real circus/clown show.

McCarthy has done everything short of full fellatio to get the job as speaker.
Maybe that wouldn't be out of the question?
😎

Even the Two Harpies, Boebert and Greene, are at each others' throats.
Woo-Hoo!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

With the senate having a foot on the brakes, and POTUS with the VETO pen, I think WE may be able to survive two years of this House of Representatives shit show, but I think it's curtains for the Republican party.

is that there is still a possibility that a group of so called "moderate republicans" may still work with the democrats and elect a speaker. Yes, not likely but even the possibility is hopeful.

Enough voters gave them back the keys. Also, the third branch of government has gone completely off the rails.🤬

and most of the American public is not privy to the inside knowledge that we have here on DU. They take public discourse at face value. Our leadership and party need to recognize we're in a propaganda war. Every day, every hour, every sentence. Make them all count. I think Hakeem Jeffries is the man for this moment. He is incredibly articulate. Every portion of every sentence could become a sound bite. If you refer to Republicans, you say Republicans every time, you don't use them or those, or the other party, or even Kev & Co. You put glue on your words so it sticks to them.
