Expect stock in Conagra Foods, makers of Orville Redenbacher popcorn, to skyrocket tomorrow…
To all Members of Congress: Be careful for what you wish. Someone has to have a plan! Outside the Beltway, there is a similar feeling of no confidence.
The Speaker doesn’t have to be a member of the House of Representatives so would some congressperson please nominate Liz Cheney to be Speaker Of The House ?
That would be a disaster
Turns out that David Arquette owns the character Bozo the Clown … maybe Republicans should reach out to him …
Wouldn’t that be crazy.
Same circus different clown!
Another sad day in politics.
Rein in spending.
I long for the days when politics were civil, that you could disagree with others without being disagreeable, where the extreme fringe of both parties lacked any real influence or power.
It is said these days that the first obligation of a politician is to get elected, and the second obligation of a politician is to get re-elected. Whatever happened to the real purpose: to govern, to make government better for all citizens? To do that requires compromise (a traitorous word in today’s world), meeting in the middle.
Change was, for the most part, incremental. Not perfect, but on the right path to the right goals.
Yes, we should have balanced budgets (by reducing spending, raising taxes, or a combination of both). But we also need to have term limits, and an end to gerrymandered districts that have just one purpose: the election of the candidate from a certain party.
In short, we need our elected officials to be statesmen not politicians (the difference is that statesmen care about the next generation, politicians only care about the next election.
Well said, Brent. My sentiments exactly.
Brent B.

The biggest problem is that when these politicians get elected,
they are more beholden to the national leadership of their party than to their
voting constituents.
How ironic that Rep. Gaetz feels betrayed because the Speaker didn’t keep his promise. He just got a small taste of what we as citizens feel all the time!! Our elected officials in Congress seldom, if ever, keep their promises! The republicans are the laughing stock party because when they are not in control they can’t get anything done, and when they are in control, they eat their own and don’t get anything done!
You assume they actual want to get something done, we are not 33 trillion dollars in debt because of Democrats!
As long as politicians’ loyalties are with the party and not the people they serve, then state, local and national politics are broken!
McCarthy was held accountable for his lies to members who supported him while holding their noses!
I for one am cheering on Rep Gaetz – finally! Someone with some courage and wisdom to attempt to buck the status quo for the good of the country! He only said the truth! We are 33T in debt. We haven’t had a freaking BUDGET in years! We want single line item appropriations – not massive bills which shove all kinds of unnecessary things into a single bill that congress is forced to vote for.
Its sad to see them (D.C., politicians, news media, even Fox) treat Gaetz like a pariah. Just like they treated and are treating Trump – another person who attempted to buck the status quo – only to see the entire system rise up against him to the point where they are suing him on sham charges all over. Just a ridiculous overzealous attack on a single individual. Its a sad state of affairs in the U.S. right now. Makes me hate politicians.
Gaetz has neither courage nor wisdom. He doesn’t care one whit about anyone but himself, like every other politician. Explain how he’s going to get spending decreases or continue looking to impeach Biden when the House is now in a state where it’s can’t do anything but stagger around looking for a leader. Yes, vote Republican in 2024 and vote the “Lord Of the Flies” ticket.
You’re not serious about debt or the deficit if you’re not willing to touch social security, Medicare/medicaid, or the military … and if you’re not willing to consider tax increases. You’re just wasting our time.
And none of Trump’s charges are a sham. He’s been a liar his entire life. Guy can’t even resist cheating at golf. It caught up with him. Boo hoo.
So what Joe B is saying is the stays quo of the Establishment is expectable and that trillions spent in foreign aid, alphabet agencies that are not useful, waste fraud and corruption are not the first place we should cut.
Joe at what point is the national debt not sustainable? Raising taxes is not the answer, quit printing money is the answer!
At least Gaetz is not a servant to the DC political lobby. When all of your peers hate you, you have either done something wrong or you have done something right, in this case the Establishment makes the case for something right!
How long before McCarthy will be on “Dancing With The Stars”? LOL!
