Electing this speaker in a unanimous vote will be really tough to come back from in some districts in '24. I think more than a few seats just swung to the D column (if they weren't already).
My comment was admittedly based on anecdotal stuff I've heard (for most of my life) being here in FL. Biden is apparently every Bond villain rolled into one considering all the stuff that is apparently his fault, while simultaneously being infirm and feeble--it's amazing.
If the voting record doesn't line up with tha that impression, apologies, and color me pleasantly surprised. Most of the optimism has been wrung out of me. I still vote as hard as I can, don't worry

It’s hilarious that media is saying many in the house don’t even know Johnson. They had to google who he was. Moscow Mitch hasn’t even met him before. So going to be awkward the first meeting between the new speaker and Biden.

Sadly, having no history has been a bonus in politics for like the last 15 years. Nobody can beat you over the head with recordings of some dumb things you may have said. I'm no longer surprised.
Lol he’s said plenty of dumb things in committee hearings defending the orange monkey.

He isn't going to get any of that far right religious crap passed into law. I'm more interested in his stance on Ukraine aid and so far I haven't found anything about it..
Well this backfired on the Dems.
Told you that we'd end up with someone worse than McCarthy.

Wow, I'm anti-abortion/Pro-life, but other than that - ugh. He won't be able to get any of that stuff he stands for done - with the possible exception of interfering/delaying aid to Ukraine.

Don't know how far he'll get but I suspect he'll use the Ukraine aid and the "Blame the Democrats for the gov't shutdown" as bargaining chips to get his pet projects moving forward.

It's pretty fucking official now, I mean not like it hasn't been with Trump as their runaway nominee, but the Republican party is essentially the new American Nazi party

MAGA speaker, means more MAGA candidates running for elections.
We should be letting MAGA sing MAGA tropes with their megaphones and let Gen Z reply at the ballot box.
If we learned anything from 2018, 2020 and 2022.. extreme MAGA candidates aren't popular.

No it didn’t, Democrats are in no worse position than they were with backstabbing McCarthy.
I look forward to the consequences if new shit head wants to ban all abortion/gay marriage and so on.
