This whole thing is getting ridiculous. I understand the message, but I really want to get to law making and government oversight

I’m confused by all of this. First everybody bashes Congress for their antics, i.e. budget deficits, pork barrel projects, etc. Yet when a few members actually say STOP...we want to get things under control and actually try and pass stand alone bills, reign in the excessive powers of committee chairman, and so all of a sudden everybody wants them to just fold and put McCarthy in power.

Politics can be messy and challenging. Yet when it plays out in public everybody gets all upset. I applaud the Congressman that are at least trying to get some changes made in how legislation is crafted. And how power seems to be held by all of the senior members who get to dictate amendments, and so on are allowed or not.

Everyone talks about sending a message from the American people to Congress. Yet when those in Congress actually try to do that they are attacked and accused of being traitors or something equally stupid. Yes they may fail but I would rather they try and not just go along like little sheep.

And that is the attitude that got us into the swamp in the first place.

Hey! It doesn’t matter just vote for something and let’s get on with it.

This is democracy (little d) in action. Instead of the conservatives giving up, McCarthy should just not put his name forward again and move out of the Speakers Office

What laws??

The ones that will not come up for votes in the Senate??

The ones that will not get signed by Bidumb??

The only thing they really can do now that omnibus was sharted on the American Taxpayer, is investigations, which will do what??

This is a fight worth letting play out.
