    I love eating popcorn and watching from a distance as much as the next person, but I am so full of popcorn at this point.

    I’m so glad someone in the GOP called out the Jewish space lasers thing! How did someone so VOCALLY CRAZY get elected, it makes me very sad.

    Marge “jewish space laser” Greene trying to censure someone for incomplete support of Isreal. What a fucking laugh.

      Or, if we’re lucky, a third party will arise, giving legitimacy to viewpoints beyond just democrat or republican. This could potentially lead to more parties, and perhaps even a better way of voting for candidates. Maybe even better representation?

      I can dream, can’t I? I mean, I certainly don’t want the fascists to win, and more parties (and people) voting against them could be a good thing. I also understand that it could be a very, very bad thing.

        Read history. For most of the 20th Century there were liberal Republicans and conservative Dems. Crossing the aisle wasn’t seen as treason, and cooperation was the norm. Even Reagan talked about a ‘Big Tent’ with plenty of opposing views.

          I’m well aware. I’m also aware that other countries have much better representation due to having a variety of parties and not just one or two.

          Most issues are far from black and white. We should stop pretending they are, and the system we live under should reflect it.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    House Republicans had a chaotic October — ousting Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, fighting bitterly about it for weeks, and then electing Mike Johnson to replace him, seemingly because no know knew him well enough to hate him.

    The party is now at odds over Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat whom Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to censure for participating in a Gaza ceasefire protest at the Capitol last month.

    Greene absurdly called the nonviolent demonstration an “insurrection,” both at the time and in her proposed censure, which 23 Republicans joined Democrats in voting to table.

    Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) — who has been criminally indicted for a wide away of alleged fraud — on Wednesday night survived an expulsion attempt brought by members of his own party.

    Santos is a stain on this institution and not fit to serve his constituents in the House of Representatives,” Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.), who brought the resolution, said on the floor.

    The House GOP is paralyzed by petty feuds and clearly has no interest in actually governing, but you wouldn’t know it from listening to Speaker Johnson on Thursday morning.


    The original article contains 443 words, the summary contains 184 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
