And they wonder why we did not do better in the midterms.

The Democrats are the crazy party.

The Republicans are the stupid party.

We really need somebody who can get rid of this terrible partisanship, and combine stupidity and craziness in equal measure.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@Mik supposedly 4 Republicans voted for the insurrectionist election denier.

I'd love to see a deal between McCarthy and the Democrats to have 50 dems vote present in return for (1) no shutdown/debt ceiling brinkmanship and (2) a promise to always allow Ukraine funding a floor vote.

I thought it might, but it didn’t. Makes Trump look impotent and increases the (still small) odds for a deal with Dems.

I’m starting to wonder if there exists a candidate that could get 218 Republican votes. That slim majority cuts both ways.

Or maybe just bring popcorn.
