All the so called drama on the House Floor including this almost fight bw two Republican House Members (Rogers and Gaetz) ended up being kabuki.

Glad I haven’t wasted too much time obsessing over this - end result is going to be an impotent puppet speaker leading a dysfunctional and treasonous bunch of legislative thugs who supported a coup two years ago. This maybe amusing but our democracy remains in deep peril. Good night.

I will be honest - I haven’t wasted a minute watching this clown circus on CSPAN. What I am interested in is understanding whether Democrats have any strategy to get debt ceiling passed bc these legislative terrorists are hell bent on burning everything down and tanning the economy to hurt a Democratic President. The answer is unclear - we will see if they are ready to take in this party of crooks, liars, traitors and potential criminals. We will see.

@murshedz They are handed billions each year by wealthy people like farmers and oil company executives who want the government cash to flow.
The people who hand them all that money will threaten to close their wallets.
The debt ceiling will be raised.
