How fitting that McCarthy becomes Speaker on the anniversary of J6. It's almost like there's some symbolism there.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
So Imagine the Republican Congress has one item bills that are 6 pages long. Liberals will complain they only have 72 hours to read it.
Well, at least we don't have to continually look at Pelosi.
There is no spoon.
It's still so bizarre to me how fully grown adults can put so much emotion into a fcking politician. Honestly, it's embarrassing.
I admire Ron Paul as much as anyone who I don't personally know, but even I was wary of Ron Paul the politician. It seems these people would gladly turn their children over to these sociopaths.
So icky...
Cults of personality.
It becomes more common as a nation crumbles into tyranny and despotism.
Things get so bad, the people start to apply godhead images onto political "leaders"...anything to save them from the wretched conditions they themselves have created all around them.

I remember the last one,, and people still think MKultra is a joke conspiracy theory.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Of course. I don't even understand why he had a chance to say anything at all, let alone a long partisan speech full of lies. He was not the current or former speaker. He is the minority leader.

McCarthy and his cronies weren't going to give up an inch of their consolidated power unless they were forced to. The failed votes forced him to.
It took longer than necessary because of that horse's ass Mike Rogers, who continually threatened the hold outs. Perhaps he was (happily) playing his part as establishment attack dog, but it was completely counter-productive, and make it last a lot longer, with a lot more animosity than it needed to have.

So close, maybe. If only ...I was hoping to see a caning before it was over.

"Mike Rogers lost his temper and was basically going to, you know, put his hands on Matt," Greene said. "And it was actually Richard Hudson — grabbed Mike Rogers from behind and pulled him away."
The congresswoman added, "So yeah, that was completely out of line. And then I'm sure it'll be dealt with."
Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee had a different take.
"I'm honestly – I'm not going to be threatened by anybody, and if somebody puts their hands on me, I will drop them like a bag of dirt," Burchett told reporters early Saturday. "I really will, man. That is not – I am not one to back down from a fight."

"Sir, this is a house of representatives."
I'm guessing single-subject bills will never happen.It looks like the fight and negotiations yielded positive results.

Psychologically broken and in a culture stuck in public schools and cubicles, lacking strong parental figures, people need heroes.
I agree, but now we own the information dissemination technology. Then it was newspapers and 3 networks right? Now we can share the literal documents in seconds across the world, instead of microfiche, xerox, pamphlets, etc.
Yup, all that as well.

Dayum! Love me some Justin Amash.
If you asked Kevin McCarthy about a piece of legislation, he would not really know much about it. He's not that guy, he doesn't care, he's not an intellectually curious person. I don't think he's that bright, honestly. I mean, no offense to him, but he's not a particularly bright person."

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
I agree. It might keep bills down to less than 1000 pages, but probably not. It is a great idea though.

It's worth thanking Chip Roy for working out most of the reforms. He is the one who seems most serious about actually trying to make Congress work better, who also happens to have the intellectual capacity to do so. He's no Amash but might be the closest we've got to carrying his torch in that regard.
The enemy of my enemy may be worse than my enemy.
I do not suffer from Trump Rearrangement Syndrome. Sorry if that triggers you.
I'm guessing everything on that list will never happen.
