Watching the GOP Speaker s$@tshow is fun, but dangerous as f@!#

How can President Biden, or the Democrats and "moderate" Retrumplicans trust negotiating with whoever the hell it is?

In tough negotiations, even on bipartisan legislation, will this speaker ever be able to say; "I can deliver x-numbers of votes"?

I know that most of these Retrumplican fucksticks don't give one flying-fuck about good governance and leadership, but I don't know how the United States functions when being the Retrumplican leader is akin to being Al Qaida's #3.

got so much done in 1st 2 years! I'm about to schedule my now-covered Shingles shot (Medicare). Expensive.

I have confidence in Biden and Ron Klain, frankly, that they have a plan to make this work!

Since there ain’t much I can do to influence the situation, I’m going to take deep breaths/keep the faith/enjoy watching GQPs wrastle each other and bicker their way right out of any power they may have had — “LET THEM FIGHT” 24/7

hate and fear mongering, vying to be on TV, venting trash talk on one another, and playing victim.

This is what I call them nihilists. They genuinely don't give a damn about consequences.

They hate democracy, the constitution, and the American people.

Tragic.

They'll play games and make demands. Gum stuff up and try to blame Biden. Investigations galore, though they won't bear any fruit. Trying to pull Joe down for 2024. That's priority one.
