Every time I think about what’s ahead, I feel like hyperventilating. This version of the GOP is going to spend tax payers money and precious time investigating the FBI, the DOJ, Hunter, and God knows who else. Never mind investigating Trump’s deal with the Taliban, or the fact his off spring had unfettered access to highly secret information. They all looked the other way when he pulled out of Syria, nobody complained about the 2 trillion tax cut, and they still can’t fill a Kleenex box with any evidence about election fraud. And watching Brazil today just made me cringe - he’s probably hiding out at M-A-L.

Kevin is going to fold and fast because his right wing psychos are going to do zero legislation. That should take care of all the concern about debating a bill because they will be too busy investigating the FBI which is one of the most conservative organizations in the government.

Listening to Kevin thank TFG and Gaetz was one of the most pathetic things I have ever witnessed. It’s like he has Stockholm Syndrome. God help us. While his caucus was spinning their wheels, Biden was honoring the people who withstood the assault from Trump and his insane base and traitors in Congress. Shameful.

Caught a bit on MSNBC interview of a D - sorry didn't catch the name. Apparently McCarthy has a secret rules package that almost no one knew about. Among the horrors is that those clowns (we need a new name) can stop every single legislation moderates want and can go after any government employee they don't like. The new SS, and I mean the one from the 1930s, is in charge. We are in trouble. Imagine what happens when Garland or the FBI go after Trump and his co-conspirators.

I totally agree with you. It’s going to be ugly. And now this thing with Biden. At least they turned over the documents right away - there’s no comparison. Plus Garland is looking at obstruction. McCarthy has screwed the House for the next two years. I did see a republican from Texas - Gonzales who said he won’t vote for the rules package because all it’s going to do is bring the government to a halt and it’s stupid. So we’ll see.

Most of it has passed WITHOUT the House knowing what's in those secret conditions Kevin agreed to. So much for transparency. Daily Kos has several articles on it. Ds kept the faith; 99% of Rs agreed to be rule by the idiot caucus.
