More on the Colorado SC ruling against Trump. Republicans switching to a different process won't help. The ruling states he is DQ'd from office. His name should not appear on any ballot.

Any lawyers?
Accordingly, we conclude that because President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list President Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.
Only 260 more presidential electors needed to sink Trump's chances in 2024. Who is next?
Thanks Colorado!
Jeffery Clark to face discipline board for his role in election interference.

The republican disfunction in the House continues. After a day spent voting on a new candidate the agreed upon candidate has already been torpedoed. It's looking like the only candidate who won't be killed by the freedom caucus will be from the freedom caucus.
Will republicans ever look to the democrats to form a coalition government?
It seems Georgia is running out of indicted lawyers in the Trump case.

We can scratch McCarthy, Scalise and Jordan are all out as candidates for speaker. Only 218 left to go.
#politics C'mon Gym, you can deal with more than one lost vote a day. Really need to pick up the pace if you want defeated as often as McCarthy.
Prediction for the 3rd vote, 30+ reject Jordan.
I think the question of the day is how much humiliation can Gym Jordan stand? Another attempt to be voted speaker will happen today. I predict there will be more than 20 republicans voting for a different Republican than Jordan.
In a sign of the end times coming, yesterday watching Meet the Press they had Lyndsey Graham on. He was speaking about the Israeli/Hamas situation. Something that I don't think has ever happened before, I agreed with him. Damn, the world will surely end now.

Ok, who hired the script writers for these performative a-holes in congress? I don't think Americans signed up for this shit show. Can we cancel it mid-season and do a reboot?
The most disheartening part is "we" voted for this. Performance over Policy.
Apologies to actual script writers.
Rant out
Gaetz is right about a couple things (a couple).
The people expect Congress to work more than 4 days a week.
The country would be better off with the appropriations bills all being passed instead of CRs and omnibus spending.
They shouldn't take as many home work days as they do. There is a week away for the 4th of July. After being back for a week they then break for the last half of July, all of August and the first week ot so of September. WTF.
Agreeing with Gaetz makes me sick
The most unfortunate part of the hilarious gop dysfunction in the house is the further delay getting aid to Ukraine. #politics always creates problems.
The democrats could vote present on the vote to oust McCarthy but only if he introduced and passed funding for Ukraine of 6.5 billion BEFORE that vote takes place.
McCarthy has already gone back on his word multiple times.
