Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's a feature, not a bug.
We don't know that. They haven't tried in a long time.
Republicans negotiated with, capitulated to and were just steamrolled by a small cadre of political terrorists who'd held their party and the US government hostage and they won't suddenly make everything okay? You don't fucking say...
I had hoped the humiliation of endlessly voting only to capitulate to the extremists only to then get burned by said extremists would at least shame them into at LEAST picking a less odious republican that might sway some dem votes. What actually happened really shouldn't surprise me but here we are.
Nope, it just got a bunch of them to retire so they can bitch and moan about it on cable news channels.
Removing the previous speaker wasn't about "solving problems", it was about creating problems and gridlock.

It's because republicans don't stand for anything. They can't pass any bills because that would require that they actually have policy goals. They don't. All they want to do is embarrass and attack their political rivals. The republican party is profoundly broken.
He's a new problem.
He's part of all the problems with the GOP, new and old.
Ukraine aid would easily pass if it came to a vote. Isn't there some way to bypass a speaker on important stuff? There certainly needs to be a way. If not then some republicans need to cooperate to make a temporary Dem speaker from time to time.
Israel didn't get an aid package? Oh noes!
If they want to govern they have to pick someone that at least some Democrats can support.
shut it ALL down.
(That is what they are doing and it isn't helping)
No... Shut it all down. With fire.
