Democracy Docket
A member who lied about basically every aspect of his background, intense infighting about who the speaker should be and representatives who still deny the 2020 election results. First day of the Republican-controlled House seems to be going great.

@paul @democracydocket oh, it will go on for teo years.

The republicans are self destructing, cause they are listening to their extreme and not the center and center right. 1) the extreme is oushing ideology the entire country is against, and 2) you need centrists to be able to win much, nationally.

Imprdict the party will split into MAGA and whatever is left. Which will also have a bad impact on dems, cause the ce ter and center left dems will have power against the extreme left.

@democracydocket What a sh*t show. And that is just a beginning. The worst is yet to come.

@democracydocket Trump? MTG? Gossar? Boebert? Jordan?

I realize Santos is a feel-good, gotcha. But frankly he’s just a loaf of bread sitting in a chair, politically impotent. And he was elected overwhelmingly in a CD that flipped by 17 points in two years (from Biden +9 to Santos +8) in spite of his tall tales being in full view, easily debunked.

I’m pissed at Democrats- the DCCC (whose Chair was too focused on saving his seat to no avail) and the NYS Dem Party. If they can’t beat a Santos…
