"Well the president said he'd veto anything this congress passes, so clearly we have to court him by working across the aisle and capitulating on anything slightly left of the rotting corpse of Rush Limbaugh."

    I wish someone competent would go for the Speaker’s spot. Jeffries is… genuinely uninspiring. Too centrist; too corporatist; too moderate.

    He’s not old, he’s just not the person I think should be leading the not-fascist party at this point, because he’s far too tied to the political establishment

    Can't we get another dude? Jeffries is gonna be Mike Johnson 2.0 The fact that he met with Jared Kushner behind closed doors to discuss god knows what should instantly disqualify him.
