    Then they are going to somehow blame it on the Democrats and the GOP faithful will buy it. Damn the Dems need a decent PR firm or something.

    I’m surprised Ted Cruz hasn’t fled to Cancun to avoid the crisis in Congress.

    He will say his daughters were so upset seeing McCarthy losing again and again that his wife suggested they take them to Cancun

    You got that wrong. His daughters were laughing in his face for his party being such a s*** show, they decided to get them out of the country before they could post vids to their social media making fun of their idiot dad.

    When Biden mints the trillion dollar coin and ends the debt limit hostage farce for good, it's not only going to be a great day for democracy, but a great day to lol @ crypto bros (which is like every day now, but the bar gets higher)

    It's so strange as GOP try to portray congress as broken and inefficient. The last congress (117th congess) was literally the most productive congress in decades. It produced more bipartisan landmark legislation than any congress in the past 4 decades. Congress isn't broken. The republican party is broken. Period.

    The right can't admit that they can't govern for ****. Trump while was president was never able to pass any legislation other than a 2t tax cut that benefited the top 5%. It's just amazing how so many utter morons in this nation think Republicans are against the elite and deep state when they're only achievement was giving the elites a multi trillion tax cut.

    Dems were all giggles and laughs during the circus... Now they're realizing that it wasn't funny all along. This was the obvious outcome. Take notes, losers.

    If Biden farts a trillion dollars out of thin air the crypto bros will be lolling all the way to the moon/bank.

    That's a cheap shot. Democrats are capable of laughing at the Republican extremist lunacy going on and being deeply concerned about the harm the GOP is doing to our country at the same time. I certainly am.

    As for the "take note, losers," you're describing yourself, as well as the political party with the only chance of getting done the progressive issues you and I support. The entire country lost when Democrats lost control of the House. Having said that, the reason the disturbing Republican comedy in the House is going on at all is due to the Democratic Party doing vastly better in the midterms than anyone predicted. I would describe that outcome as a win for democracy, and while not the outcome I wanted, not the result I feared.

    You: "don't laugh now, because it's going to get worse"

    Reality: "laugh now, because it's going to get worse"

    Everyone knows the house crazy f-ckwads are going to be the same house crazy f-ckwads at the end of this - and there is nothing anyone on the Democratic or Independent or non crazy Republican (ok 5 people) side can do about it.

    I knew this a week ago.

    A month ago.

    A year ago.

    A decade ago.

    I'm far from the only one. Clutch the pearls all you want but reality says otherwise

    You figured this all out on your own? I guess you're a political savant.

    Jesus. Do you actually believe there's a Democrat in Congress who isn't aware of the impact this could have. They (like most sentient Americans) are taking pleasure in the Republican's internal dysfunction because it's good for all of us.

    The 15th vote is going on now. During the 14th vote, McCarthy picked up several votes.

    I honestly cannot think of a more appropriate day for a "Democrats are laughing now, but wait till they see how CRAZY these Republicans are" pronouncement than..

    ...January 6.

    @Os Trigonum agrees
