    The 80 year old folks have zero appeal to me as well.

    Newsom becoming the democratic nominee is about as likely as Youngkin becoming the Republican nominee. The likelihood of either happening is approximately -142%.

    Bill Maher has a funny piece about “Joe Biden Bader Ginsberg” not knowing when to quit, hanging onto his job to the detriment of our country. Maher gives Joe Biden his due for past political performance, but simply, he is too old. He appears too old. Everyone thinks he’s too old.

    His video included a funny bit about Mitch McConnell’s speech problem that Maher called “buffering..” Hilarious.

    Apparently the Democrats are to be blamed for the GOP overthrowing their Speaker, and the ensuing chaos.

    What a world we live in....

    .
    8 Republicans can't generate much chaos without the wholehearted support of 208 Democrats.

    And yet it was one of the republicans that instigated the chaos. The democrats would never have brought a motion to vacate.

    Yes, that's correct, and the result was that 100% of House Democrats joined 3.6% of House Republicans in voting to vacate the speaker appointment. It seems appropriate to me to assign some blame there for the ensuing chaos.

    Since republicans control the house it’s on them to have prevented the chaos. But the burn it all down wing of your party loves chaos. Heck, they were also in favor of overthrowing the government a couple of years ago when their sore loser party leader lost the election so why should this be a surprise to anyone?

    That's....an interesting outlook.

    Heck, a handful of GOP representatives could trivially extend the hand of cooperation to Hakeem Jeffries and elect him as Speaker. If the GOP can't run a functional House, and do the peoples' business, they should step aside.

    Apparently the stench in the wind today is "Speaker Trump", however, so don't hold your breath.
