    Unfortunately, going Libertarian just means a wasted vote

    You mean like voting GOP in Washington ;-}
    Or the Oregon State game?🙂

    What I am getting out of this thread

    1 - Is anyone happy about McCarthy?

    2 - Is he going after the swamp, investigating the Afghan withdrawal and the FBI?

    if 1-, then no one will expect anything to happen one way or the other
    if 2-, then absolutely nothing will happen, similar to 1- above

    Result - Dems win big

    It's anarchy I tell you!!!

    I'm so embarrassed.

    Oh yeah, the people who delayed this vote got pretty much everything they wanted. Embarrassing.

    You don't understand how politics work.

    As much as I don't like Pelosi, she never got caught with her pants down the way McCarthy and the R's did. And that's dealing with the lunatic left fringe. For all the things you can levy against her, being bad at her job as speaker was not one of them.
    Curious as to who you think is at fault here. Was it McCarthy for not caving sooner or Gaetz et al for forcing the issue and getting what they wanted? To me it’s hard to blame someone for using the only leverage they have.
    I blame all of them for not getting their shit in order to avoid looking inept in front of the country.

    It was the usual corporate RINO fake meltdown. I'm embarrassed it took me three minutes to figure it out. Should have known better.

    Debating and voting is how you look “inept.”

    Passing a 1.7 trillion omnibus that nobody had time to even read. Now that’s competence
    It would have been better if it was maybe 5 votes instead of 15, but if the deal that ive geard was carved out is accurate, it's a good thing, no matter how many votes it takes.

    The last time the process went this poorly was 100 years ago. This is not the same thing as voting on legislation.
