"It is no longer the old-school khaki establishment Republican Party.”

Khaki? Really? I always thought the old-school GOP was the three-piece-suit, widow's peak party...

And from Steve Bannon we learn that "Tom Emmer is Nancy Pelosi in a suit," huh? The House Republican Conference should be so lucky!

I'm not saying I agree with all of Spike's policies, but his voice does things to me. He could Speak at me all day.

I don't know anything about Emmers, but from an "enemy of my enemy" perspective, if the fascist MAGAts don't want him, then I think maybe he's right for the job.

So Kevin Hern heads the "Republican Study Committee"?

I have no idea what they could be studying, except how to be bigger assholes. And they're already Ph.D. black belt masters at that.

I think I've heard of Pete Sessions.........isn't he the kid of a corrupt FBI guy from back in the day?

One so dirty that Attorney General BILL BARR (first go around) called out publicly, and that Slick Willie wound up firing?

“We need to: Secure our border. Fund our government responsibly. Advance our conservative agenda. Expand our Republican majority.”

That has to be a collection of oxymorons in the vein of jumbo shrimp and conservative intellectual. Republicans are not the majority, and the conservative agenda is to "advance" the US back to 1862.

Mr. Donalds wishes to fund our government responsibly. Presumably that would involve increasing taxes on those who can afford it, as the Treasury Dept has spoken and the answer is that the Bush and Trump Tax Cuts for the wealthy has added a total of $10 Trillion to the National Debt (57% of the total)

I'm fine with Speaker None of the Above.

Anything that comes outta this deranged, sadistic, terrorist Ku Klux Kongress is just gonna be another attack on decent people at home and abroad.

Maybe they could elect a pet like that one town where the mayor is a dog.

This is true.

However, without a speaker, we're going to have a protracted shutdown.....which, granted, is exactly what they want, but it is going to hurt their own far more than the affluent coasts.

which can only help come the 2024 election cycle (I hate that people will be hurt by it, but people vote in their own selfish interest and if the Dems can smash the 'your rep can't govern like an adult, put us in charge' message this will only do us some good

For anything not covered by Trump's pardons? I'm guessing he's a secret flipper.

Zombie Aunt Bee was more recently convicted on contempt of KKKongress and sentenced to a month in prison, I think, however he hasn't gone to jail... because our "legal" system coddles insane far-white fascists?
