Hey, MSM. What percentage of you are suggesting that Republicans consider reaching across the aisle? Like, at least one article by one opinion writer in the last week

I've seen quite a few videos now in my selection about Sarah huckster and some lectern scandal. And I think I watched an early video about - something about her spending 19000 on a dumb lectern, way overpriced that have created some hubub in her state. Personally I don't see what the deal is, other then the price, but it appears to be something different. It was a way to funnel money to a 'friend'. I mean it is not much in the grand scheme of things; here in Illinois we hear about these kickbacks all the time and certainly for more then that. But this has turned out to be a big deal in Arkansas. And pretty stupid too.
I'm not sure if this is a big deal over all among GOPers, but it seems to be kicking up quite some stink. Personally I find her lowering the age of child labor and to also include hazardous work far more troubling; with apparently no way to sue the company if someone gets hurt. (I could be wrong, it was a while since I read up on it). But if this dings her in anyway I'm all for it. She's a terrible lying twit and a horrible human being through and through.

Okay, so the Huckster story is even dumber. Sarah commissioned a lectern for 19000 from this Beckett LLC or something. A company that apparently do not sell lecters at all. Instead the friend (Virginia Beckett) plus Sarah apparently took a lavish vacation in Paris together after the commission. The amount for the lectern just happened to be a snippet under the cost requiring to be reported (20k).
Probably the dumbest shit I've ever heard in order to steal from tax payers and party with a friend.
Jesus Christ. These dumbasses are so bad at this and they get a way with it because GOP as a party doesn't give a shit. Just see the difference between Santos and Menendez. Pretty much all dems worth their salt has told him to fuck off. Everyone among GoP is mum about Santos (except for a few New York House Members that kinda shut up about it).

Looks like the vote is back on, Jordan going for a third time, though I haven’t seen a time yet.

So is Jim winning on the third because GOP is tired of looking like idiots? Is this a moment of self reflection?

so a number of people decided to protest in the West Bank and IDF moved in and killed 7, wounding 25. IDF calls it dealing with terror activities.
Before that, armed settlers decided to raid an apartment and killed 4 people. On the way to the funeral for these 4 men, 2 more were killed, a son and his father. Dead at the hands of settlers. Apparently Israeli officials had warned the two to take a different rout because they said armed settlers were waiting for them at this other road. But it was instead the opposite. They came to the end of the new rout and a number of armed psychopaths waited for them and killed them. Again, Israeli officials. This is apparently happening constantly in the West Bank, and the reason why Bibi had diverted soldiers away from Gaza. He was busy supporting Settlers in their ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. The cowardly European countries and USA continue to support this. But at least the labor leader in UK is now facing a revolt among his own party members. Him being a fucking coward is not paying off. And there is also indication that there is some strong disagreement in Bidens admin. Not in the inner circle, but with the many diversity hires.
This can also end up hurting Biden in the end. Dems are currently banking on the same land swell of Gen Z coming out in droves and this is the kind of stuff that turns off younger generations. Biden was smart enough to fight for student loan forgiveness and also standing with blue collar workers. It is currently boiling over in countries around Middle East. Several prominent leaders are currently balking at continued normalization, and the protests are growing in USA. Strictly speaking; it is a massive mistake to provide Israel with such open and unwavering support at this moment. Considering the psychotic shit coming out of Israelis government. It would be much smarter to acknowledge the horrific terror act, but still temper Israel in their thirst for vengeance. The almost uncritical endorsement of their avarice is coming back to bite western leaders. I've never seen such uncritical capitulation almost across the entire west.

If I'm reading this correctly, Jordan shelved the third vote to try and see if he could get McHenry empowered and when that went nowhere within the Republicans because there is zero chance that the Republicans actually unite, Jordan went back to the original plan of trying to become Speaker so we're back to daily status reports....

I get blaming Dems. I get the circus of trying to taint Biden with Hunter Biden. I don't get the adamant anti Ukraine shit, that is clearly shrinking their base. I don't get going after Biden when you have no evidence and the hearings have been disasters for them.
I don't get the failed speakership stuff. Why would you start a process if you do not have the political savvy to win? I know many of these people are fucking morons in safe districts. And how they acts shows that. But, these are suppose to be politicians. And they act like lunatics. It is like they've lost all basic contact with reality. For a while I thought that maybe these idiots were just doing this theater of BS for the rubes. And if you go back to the beginning of the 2000's that was kinda the case. They kept libertarians and Evangelicals (who then became the tea party and now the freedumb caucus) at a 10 foot poles length. Promising the usual anti immigrant and anti abortion BS for their tax cut votes. But, Obama broke them. The tea party idiots and now the Freedumb Caucus have turned GOP to blithering window lickers. It's not just trump. Before Trump you started see the power of the freedumb morons by pushing Boehner who belonged more to the guys who just wanted to toy with the idiot fringe for tax cut votes, to votes on shutting down the government. Under Obama we saw the first seed of the idiot locust believing you could extort the government and even stated that going into default wouldn't have any effect at all.
But this shit? They actually have destroyed Roe v Wade and some of them are finally waking up to how disasterous it was but there are still GOPers that keep pushing for a Federal ban.
I could never understand morons. I genuinely don't. I get McConnell, Boehner, Paul Ryan etc. They were run of the mill spend on military, destroy social security and push through tax cuts. They didn't believe in the religious shit and they believed with all their black hearts that USA should invade all the icky people. But Obama broke GOP. Suddenly everything become opposition. McConnell and the rest of the establishment did it just to continue winning support. But the freedumb morons genuinely believe all that nonsense. Anti vaccine, pro Putin, anti Science, pro default stuff. They absolutely require this absurd purity test that no one seems to know wtf it is.
I can go back as far as McCarthy back in the days with his anti communist shit. At that time they genuinely believed that communism would snowball all over the world. They were after all the generation who had fought WW2 and saw what Soviet did in the aftermath. Todays idiots that talk about communism and socialism genuinely believe so too. But there's nothing in reality today that can even be connected to 'socialism'. It is just stupid noise. These people are either insane, or holding onto their district for dear life, either because they're in purple districts or they're not crazy enough for the idiot locust.

Jordan cancelled it again.
Screw confidence, he's broadcasting loudly his competence. He could've taken a day off, acknowledged that the McHenry plan fell through, and aimed to deal with it tomorrow but no, he went with "squeeze them right now" and ended up far, far, far behind where he thought he was.
