I hope the Republicans beat their old score when it comes to confirming a Speaker.
Well, in 2 and 4 years when they have accomplished nothing useful despite have all three branches, people will be ready for a big change. At least I can hope, right.
I'm trying not to accelerationist but this clown car is getting pretty fast.
Now, we watch America fall.
Now the people can really get what they want!
We're all going to get what they deserve.
And they're gonna get it good and hard...
🤢🤮😫
That's not the victory Republicans will think it is.
The House Freedom caucus routinely has at least one or two who dig their heels in over "this bill doesn't go FAR enough!"
With a 218 majority, that means 100% of the Republicans have to toe the line. Not a single person can be out of line, something that rarely happens with either party. There's usually at least ONE person who doesn't like the outcome.
This is going to put a lot of people who are known for digging in their heels into very precarious situations. Either they toe the line and have to accept some compromise because of Democrats in the Senate looking to filibuster. Or they alone hijack the Republican plans.
And woe if someone dies, gets sick, or retires in office on their side, something that also happens at least once per year on either side.

Representatives are elected for 2 year terms.
It's just like how Putin wins his elections! Neat!
Well, putin won this one too.
aim to overhaul federal programs, enact conservative policies, and investigate Trump’s legal adversaries.
"America First" was always an oxymoron. MAGA always means great for certain people. It's going to be surreal to have to listen to both the gloating of tasting liberal tears while asking why the Democrats aren't doing anything to help the country.
The continuation of draining the swamp by...
Replacing it with THEIR swamp, yeah! That's how it goes! /s
I personally think draining the swamp is an apt metaphor… wetlands are critical environments, so draining the swamp evokes the anti-environmental bent of the republicans, as well as a metaphor for their erosion of our democratic institutions. Not that a trumpet would see the irony
