    Have you seen this current House’s record? They haven’t been moving much of anything. It’s on track to be the least productive session of the House ever, even without an even slimmer majority.

      True, but they have to move a lot of budget in the next 60 days.

        Johnson is gonna have to rely on Democrat votes once more. It’s hilarious. I wouldn’t be shocked if a couple more Republicans retire before it begins. They’ll end up giving the majority to the Democrats before it’s all over with.

          The most extreme Republicans will boot Johnson if he compromises like they did with McCarthy, which will probably cause another shutdown like the extreme wingnuts want.

            I’m fantasizing about those idiots booting Johnson due to a compromise and not having a majority, so speakership goes to Jeffries.

          I’ve wondered if the GOP losing the majority could be a strategy. They can then go into the 2024 election cycle ranting about how bad the Democrats failed, etc.

          It’s way harder to actually govern than it is to just throw stones at people actually working.

            It’s like that scene in Liar Liar where Carey says “I’m kicking my ass!” They’re literally the toddler on bicycle puts stick in spokes meme
