Chris 1,895 Posted October 25 Well they picked the “best” of a bad lot finally: “WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans unanimously elected Rep. Mike Johnson as House speaker on Wednesday, eagerly elevating a deeply conservative but lesser-known leader to the major seat of U.S. power and ending for now the weeks of political chaos in their majority. Johnson, 51, of Louisiana, swept through on the first ballot with support from all Republicans anxious to put the past weeks of tumult behind and get on with the business of governing. He was quickly sworn into office, second in line to the presidency.” Source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw Gaetz briefly on a radio talk show mouthing off about the danger of this Maga Speaker. Gaetz kept his mouth shut after McCarthy’s ouster and during these last three weeks. Now that there’s a Speaker he starts in again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hal 317 Posted October 26 It’s called playing “ Whack-a-Mole “ ! This , as I said before is making me rethink my political ideology enough to switch to another ( not Democratic either ) party . I could very easily join the Apathetic Party I suppose , but then of course you can’t bitch or complain if you don’t vote ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elmira Telegram 285 Posted October 27 Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Middle East: Quote WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighter jets launched airstrikes early Friday on two locations in eastern Syria linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Pentagon said, in retaliation for a slew of drone and missile attacks against U.S. bases and personnel in the region that began early last week. The U.S. strikes reflect the Biden administration’s determination to maintain a delicate balance. The U.S. wants to hit Iranian-backed groups suspected of targeting the U.S. as strongly as possible to deter future aggression, possibly fueled by Israel’s war against Hamas, while also working to avoid inflaming the region and provoking a wider conflict.

Chris 1,895 Posted November 17 That guy is such a complete POS it’s mind-boggling he was ever elected to begin with. He’s announced he won’t run for another term, but he’ll still get the pension and all the other benefits I’m sure. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 1,895 Posted November 18 Our new House Speaker says he will release all of the video from Jan. 6, 2021 and now I get to listen to right-wing Q-Anon kooks and Trump lovers tell me I didn’t see what saw witnessed that day. F—king wonderful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
