“whom most Capitol Hill reporters couldn't pick out of a single defendant police lineup.” Brutal, but a great line. The Republicans are shredding their chances of winning anything with this behavior. Maybe a big fat L for many of them in the next cycle will be what it takes to open the eyes of some of these “public servants “.
“...theoretically I could start playing scratch golf next week.” You are brilliant and I so appreciate your deep understanding and history of congress. Thank you for constantly reminding us “this is not normal”
“He has what it takes to go into a room with Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden and negotiate conservative wins,” - After I stopped laughing, I looked at the screen and said um no.
Re: I turned off my tape recorder, and asked again - can Jordan win? Without missing a beat, this member of Congress instantly said, "No."
Wow.
Not sure why the House GOP isn’t working through the weekend on solving this mess. They’re putting their dysfunction on public display daily, giving Dems lots of 2024 campaign TV ad footage.
No rest for the weary. I'm sure this is not how you had the weekend planned.
Following the news about the dysfunctional House I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The last few years have left the Republican party in a huge mess. At this late date I have a hard time believing so many hard-core extremists still have their claws embedded in the GOP.
Confusion and conflict are a way of life for Democrats, but sooner or later they/we find a way to compromise with EACH OTHER. But hard--core authoritarians in the GOP are too stubborn to compromise even with each other.

Jamie…a littler confused here…435 members means 218 for majority
Everyone uses 217. Am I missing something?
"...scratch golf..." 🤣🤣🤣
I'd like to know what a power sharing arrangement could look like.
