    Exactly how can the Democrats save America when not a single Republican will work with them? Should they use Republicans tactics of forcing the government to grind to a halt when they can’t get what they want? I think the Republicans have all manner of shitty, minority rule tied up so the Democrats are all out of options. The Republicans could end this at any second and could have ended the speaker issues before they even started, yet you think it’s the Democrats that need to be scolded. Tell your Republican friends to stop voting for cartoon villains as elected officials.

      If not a single Republican will work with them, how did the temporary spending bill pass?

      I have no Republican friends. I DETEST Republicans with every fiber of my being. But I do want the best for America, and as bad as McCarthy was, Johnson will be far worse.

        They did that by waiting until the last fucking minute so no one could read the actual CR. they only did that because they know there is no way to take the heat off them for shutting down the country, AGAIN

        Johnson will be the exact same. Absolutely no ability to get anything accomplished in the house.

              They raised the debt ceiling and funded the government, at least temporarily. More than Johnson is likely to do, at least not without batshit insane provisions attached.
