@@fireguy53024 you do know that Republicans were the Union party and the democrats were the confederate party. They were also pro kkk.. the 1924 democrat convention was even nicknamed klanbake.

The Republicans have a TWO seat majority as it is. If "more resign" we get Speaker Hakeem Jefferies. Then what? They pass a law expanding the Supreme court to 14 justices and Biden gets to name all the new ones. There are now enough Dems in the Senate to cancel the filibuster. Puerto Rico and DC become states and the Senate gets FOUR more Democrat Senators. They pass a Federal law codifying abortion until the time of birth. They pass a Fiscal year 2025 budget (FY 2025 starts October 1) with hundreds of billions of dollars for Ukraine. The pass a law banning the construction of a physical barrier on the southern border. Not to mention, codifying every one of Biden's immigration "policies" which would prevent Trump from doing anything about it. I assure you, the Dems, seeing a Trump presidency on the horizon, would cancel every vacation, holiday and day off to get those things accomplished before the next session begins in January Whether Representatives get elected or not is up to the voters in their district and no one else.

A representative, or any elected official, is elected to serve- they need to honor the commitment they made when they filed their election petition. We seem to have lost the ability to reach beneficial compromises.

I head into Forbes and Fox comments sections for laughs. Thanks, you made my day. Luna, the influencer who became a legislator. AOC: In her first term, the Congresswoman saw three amendments pass into law, despite Republican control of the Senate and Presidency. One shifted $5 million from the failed war on drugs to treatment for opioid addiction and another secured $10 million to clean up toxic bombardment sites in Puerto Rico. I did not bother going any further, and maybe teen girls would appreciate tips from someone as beautiful and smart as AOC. Congratulations on confirming my stereotypes of former Marines.

Inflation has come way down. It is about 3.5%. The stock markets are doing great. The US has the lowest inflation rate of all the G7 Nations. This is based on the same metrics that was used for all prior presidents. Some prices are still higher now than they were before the pandemic. That has much more to do with what is known as greedflation. Corporations are raising prices & blaming it on inflation. Look up the profit margins of the companies whose product prices are still high. You will see that as their prices went up so did their profits.

You will NEVER get someone as speaker that the entire party will support. The party is too broken. If they vacate again then nothing will get done, although that might be a good thing considering what's been done up to this point. Y'all need to get rid of the stupid rule that a single person can force a vote to vacate and concentrate more on getting all of you on the same page for once. There always has to be someone who wants to grandstand for clicks and likes. It's all about re-election, not what's best for the American taxpayers.
