      I understand Dems couldn’t trust McCarthy. But them nominating (and voting, was it?) a Dem who has no chance of becoming Speaker was just… irresponsible. And as a result of this kind of Dems’ poor negotiation even with relatively moderate Republicans, the House elected this MAGAt.

      (I think I read Dems called for Republicans to vote for their Dem candidate… If that’s true then that’s like an elementary school level incident in my eyes.)

        No, they repeatedly mentioned moderate Republicans they’d be willing to nominate and repeatedly tried to get the “moderate” Republicans to work with them to nominate a republican.

        The Republicans were the ones who didn’t want to negotiate, not the Democrats.

          I know Rs were worse. I know they are a BAD and EVIL. I still want Ds to do better.

    This guy has consistently voted against every package to help Ukraine. So maybe we shouldn’t put to much trust in what he says.

      He is still trying to keep the benefit of the doubt from his being a nobody despite having been a very loud Christian Nationalist and MAGAt.

    He may be a horrible Christofascist, but at least we can be relieved that he’ll continue to support Ukraine.

      Or - and hear me out here - he is lying.

      Am I confusing him with one of the other dozen or two choices they floated, but wasn’t he against aid to Ukraine previously? I can’t keep all these christofascists straight, they’re such cookie cutter clones of each other.

      Voting against aid packages isn’t support.
