So much for "the third time's the charm".

I would also remind, that AI talks and/or rulings aren't happening either, among many other issues. I don't understand this lack of logic at all – oh wait Trump.

District of Columbia House

Unlike Trump they actually came through with sending those cassette/CDs.. Cant say the same for me paying them back tho.

The other explanation is that Turtle McGee was unable to be Weekend and Bernie'd properly to perform his votes.

Congress never seems to do any actual work.

Just to be clear the people who founded the US, not the founding fathers, the puritans, they led my country into civil war against a monarch for his arbitrary dissolution of parliaments.

You are now slipping behind the level of democracy present in 16th century Britain.

You just watch. After the Democratic members leave town, Johnson will reconvene with only the Republican members, and do evil things.

The GOP Congressman were sent home and now have to explain to their constituents why they came back from August paid break -- worked for 7 days -- and are now on another paid break until November 9. They went home because their Speaker is enthralled with Trump - who did not want the House to take up the A.I. issue, Epstein and Impeachment of Hegseth. Cowards really have no honor.

I cannot even remotely imagine something like this ever be possible where i live. This is insanity. How can one person decide this. Actions like this destroy any form of democratic process and should be illegal. There would be days of protests. I cannot grasp this.

I wondered the same. Can't he be voted out as speaker? Serious question

Of course they can, but do you remember how long it took them to agree on that stupid fascist pervert in the first place?

Wild that the political class can just routinely say "were not doing our jobs from X to Y. Not even a reason given, although we all know what the reason is

Send you home? What kind of bullshit is that? What, are you in second grade? Stay there! Occupy the floor and demand the vote! Especially if you have bi-partisan support!

I'm so tired of weak leadership.

If impeachment meant anything I might give a shit. But it doesn't. It means NOTHING.

They're gone until after the midterms. That's two months away. So the HoR just doesn't work for 2 months? And they just came back from "summer recess" a week or two ago?

Our shit is so broken. Why can a few of them send the rest home instead of needing at least a majority vote to decide to leave

Imagine someone shooting Mike, he would probably get shot but would it improve the situation and make it worth it?

Minority rule is the American way. It's why they love First past the Post voting.

It is not broken. It is operating as intended.

Because they broke it. They spent 50 years, and untold fortunes to manifest this. The breakdown of our systems is for our children to witness. Those of us aware of the con are going to be the only ones. That’s what the concentration camps are for. Then it’s Canada, Mexico, and Greenland. They’ve told us. The world will wait for Hitler to roll over Europe. We’ll all be Chinese in the aftermath. They’re the only ones playing the game.

Hang him. He is just as complicit in this bullshittery as the rest. In fact, he's illegally forcing this war to continue by refusing to let it stop.

I was able to nail jello to a wall. You have to freeze it first. Freeze trumps little Johnson and mail him to a wall.

The USPS doesn't allow mailing human organs, and they have even worse rules now about something that might be considered attempted democracy.

They don't allow shipping of many things, but people send things anyway.

Woke1 brainrot take right there. You know where a woman's in charge? The AFD. What's next? "Put black folks in power", like Clarence Thomas..? Vote policy, vote advocacy. Identity is a wedge weaponised to divide us.

Now please tell me what woke actually means because if its still about caring for people and wanting the best life for everyone than you are looking quite stupid right now. How to admit you are a psycho without saying you are.
