the only reason dems lost the house was gerrymandering
8 red seats were created, 3 blue seats eliminated
5 were judged as being against the voters act but the states refused to change them
if the courts orders had been followed, the dems would still be in control
this is why the taliban 20 has power - their districts are so gerrymandered no dem could ever win
"Power"? Is that what we're calling this?
To me, it looks like they're just tossing out banana peels for other people to slip on.
20 of the worst people in congress have through their efforts done what jan 6 couldn't
shut down congress
they are not accountable to their voters, because their voters will put up with them rather than vote dem
when politicians are no longer accountable and can do what they (or their puppet masters ) please, that is power
Yo, they haven't "shut down Congress", the Senate's working fine.
If that's what their voters want, they get what they deserve.
no legislation can be conducted in the house
the only work the senate can complete is judiciary and political appointments
with the upcoming committees packed by the taliban 20, even once the speaker issue is resolved, nothing will pass committee for the next 2 years
thats shutting down congress in my books
So WHAT? The status quo remains the status quo; everything's already funded till September.
None of these bozos is getting PAID, you realize.
As long as there's no Speaker, they can't pack any committees; there ARE no committees, and no Representatives, just a crowd of members-elect.
correct - ergo no business being conducted
and once a speaker set, still nothing being done is the RWNJ get their way

Got it.
Here's a cause and an effect for you: that response, and my oubliette.
Bye!
