House Republicans' state of emotional limbo is particularly problematic, since they'd otherwise welcome the chance to move quickly on aiding Israel.

          And was immediately called for to resign by the rest of his Party. That never happens with Republicans.

          Also, he said it was just some gold bullion he’d pulled from his savings account in case of emergency. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, right!

          And he’s not getting any support from fellow Democrats, unlike McCarthy. So where’s the equivalence?

      mask their inability to govern.

      I mean, to anyone that gets their news from literally anywhere other than Fox News it makes it pretty clear they’re absolutely incapable of governing

    The idea that any Republican calling themselves a “centrist” thinks that supporting MAGA loyalist Qevin McCarthy for Speaker is a “centrist” thing to do speaks to exactly how far right the Overton Window in the Republican Party has moved to the far right.
