1. It's a good thing for America and it's citizens

That there’s nothing important for the House to get to accept dueling conservative egos and the ever present gop incompetence that constantly needs hiding by those who don’t know how.

2. Agreed! I got home not long ago and I was worried about today's vote

The fact that Jordan got fewer votes today is encouraging. Does he or do any Republicans expect this insurrectionist who takes orders from TFG to get any Democratic votes?? Not to mention the chaos they've caused just by attempting to choose a Speaker? Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas are at war, Ukraine needs aid and we're facing a shutdown yet again unless they get back to work!

Yay, you found this forum! It's taking me awhile to navigate here...

3. Hello My Friend

I’ll plug along. Lotsa curve balls for old people. We will adapt, improvise and overcome.

Hey republicans have a plan. It’s all the Dems fault.

I remember back in the 90s a Navy Command Master Chief told the Base Commanding Officer the morning of the Chiefs Initiation on base (in jest) that Chiefs were in charge of the base that day until 5 seconds before something goes wrong. That’s the gop’s. Modus operandi. But I can tell one and all gopers are no Navy CPOs.

5. You and I joined DU at almost the exact same day, and that was DU.1

So this is the fourth incarnation and we've gotten used to all the others, and since this is only the first day, I'm hoping that this will happen before long.

As for the GOP, I can't help thinking that the chaos is just a part of their plan, they're trying to recreate the last administration and Joe Biden's experience is getting in their way.

4. I found the forum

but I really don't like how all of the videos are thrown in together. I'm not interested in scrolling through music videos and dog videos (though you know I love dogs) to see the videos I want.

I really dislike the new format and I'm sick of being told it's because I'm old. I may be old but I spend most of my waking hours on a computer. If it sucks, it sucks, it isn't because I'm resistant to change. I'll most likely just go directly to YouTube for my videos because I'm not willing to wade through this mess.

6. There are now 2 forums for political videos, the dog and cat ones are in Pets or The Lounge:

Here are the political ones - and you know that I'm that way when it comes to change. You'll remember I had a reputation for not liking the "new system."
