https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1724508142615019787 Yes it was Fetterman's dress code that destroyed congressional norms and comity. Exactly correct sir. The guy who tried to kill Nancy Pelosi's husband, the guy that Republicans like to joke about, is on the stand in his trial and he had an eclectic media diet of absolute cranks from across the political spectrum https://twitter.com/dustingardiner/status/1724480510498681198 https://twitter.com/dustingardiner/status/1724483867489468875 https://twitter.com/dustingardiner/status/1724490963320803814 What were they trying to pretend, that this guy was antifa or an illegal immigrant or something? zoux fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Nov 14, 2023 |

Are gangsters famous for wearing shorts? Neither the stereotypical Italian mafia gangsters or gangsta rap-style gangsters are really associated with shorts in my mind.

The new Speaker says everyone is Congress is crazy and on edge today because they have been taking the unprecedented step of working for 10 weeks in a row. If I had to go to work for 10 weeks in a row, I don't know what I would do either. Has anyone even done that before? Just go to work and then... go again next week... 10 times in a row? https://twitter.com/MariannaReports/status/1724477449424003499 quote:Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declared during his weekly news conference Tuesday that the House “is a pressure cooker” after lawmakers have spent 10 weeks together in the halls of Congress.

They were still doing official business while selecting a Speaker and scheduling votes. We're talking about nearly two months in a row of four or five-day work weeks. Could you even imagine what that must be like? It makes total sense that you would try to punch a witness at your hearing.

Shooting Blanks posted:Have we heard any soundbites yet about how it's the Democrats' fault that the GOP can't pass a funding bill or CR? No, it's kind of the opposite. Dems are grumbling about the "two-step" setup, but are willing to back a clean CR with no cuts or border provisions, so some Republicans are mad that the Speaker might bypass the rules committee (who were threatening to not vote a bill out of committee if it didn't have cuts/border provisions) and use Democratic votes to get a clean 45-day CR passed.

Good, that'll be just enough time to kick out this speaker and find another one to deal with the third imminent government shutdown of 2023 The parts of the government that Republicans consider "good" parts get slightly longer. Which is technically an improvement (?) because only some of the government will be shut down initially. But, Republicans are also only doing that because they want to keep the parts they care about and the parts that would be politically damaging to shut down open to give them more leverage if they do have a shutdown and are still negotiating.

Dispatches from Thunderdome https://twitter.com/FarnoushAmiri/status/1724514811164099015 I feel like some of this is them all realizing they're about to fall into the eternal abyss of chaos after the HFC reneged on their clean CR deal they made with Johnson.

Here's how hosed the vibes are in Congress right now: https://twitter.com/JacobRubashkin/status/1724209994222961092 This dude was also a one-term Texas state senator (who is from Indiana) who was clearly using the seat as a springboard to Congress, and jumped ship the first chance he got. This isn't some elder statesman returning to represent a district he's stood for for 30 years or something, he couldn't wait to get out of here.

The session is short, and the income is meager. You have independent wealth or another job as far as I understood it. It’s basically a “gently caress this, I’m mostly out, but I’ll sort of keep one toe in the politics pool” incase the fever breaks in a few years.

He's the CEO of a clothing company, so I think he is probably not going to be hurting with just a part-time salary. Interestingly, neither his official statement nor the article in the Texas Tribune say why exactly he is leaving. He just released a statement saying he is out (but, not until after the next election) and gave no follow up. He is a crazy member who is best friends with noted psycho Dan Patrick, so he IS "the fever" and isn't the type of person who will leave because the crazies have too much influence.
