After desantis, your next highest choices are Chris Christie, who once apon a time seemed like a "reasonable republican" and Ramaswamy, who seems as insane as trump but even more so.

Holy shit. McCarthy caved and cut a deal. It’s only a 45 day reprieve, but still.

This is still not ok. So many people/families were stressed out over the possibility of not getting a paycheck, and they have to face that again in 45 days. Meanwhile the paychecks of those "responsible" for "representing" their constituents faced no such stress. It's a broken system.
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.

Of course it’s broken. They system was designed by 18th century dudes who assumed everyone would act like gentlemen and work for the common good of the nation. They couldn’t imagine a future where “working for the common good of the nation” meant “working to end the nation” to a bunch of extremists.

Not sure how you fix it, though. Maybe get a bill through that would make the pay and benefits for elected representatives the first thing that ends in cases like this?
