The clowns finally got their shit together long enough to elect a speaker. Maybe a good omen?

It took very little for the far right to oust McCarthy for daring to comprimise with democrats. I wouldn't bet on this lasting long either.
And it certainly isn't a good omen to elect an election denier/coup supporter/religious nutjob.

Name calling. Nice. Bet that really promotes unity and compromise.

He is in fact an election denier and a coup supporter. Those are facts. Sure, calling him a nutjob is namecalling, but by even basic standards of what counts as a religious nutjob it is accurate.
If you don't like that term, then at the very least he is a religious extremist.
I really don't care about unity with wannabe Gilead members.

None of what they said is false.

Tell the GOP to stop calling all women whores under their breath and perhaps we can talk about unity and compromise.

Well they are our ally, Hamas did recently massacre 1400 innocents, and this is an excellent way to proxy war with Palestine.

A place consisting of ~50% minors. Clearly a threat to the US. How very pro-life of you.
