    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.

          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.

          Experts project that homosexual marriage is the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic

          Proscriptions against sodomy have deep roots in religion, politics and law. States have always maintained the right to discourage the evils of sexual conduct outside marriage, and the state is right to discriminate between heterosexual and homosexual conduct since the latter cannot occur within the confines of marriage. Homosexuals do not meet the criteria for a suspect class under the equal protection clause because they are neither disadvantaged nor identified on the basis of immutable characteristics, as all are capable of changing their abnormal lifestyles.

          If you don’t like that term, then at the very least he is a religious extremist.

          Bet that really promotes unity and compromise.

          I really don’t care about unity with wannabe Gilead members.

          If they wanted unity and compromise, the House Freedom idiots wouldn’t have voted against McCarthy for compromising with Democrats.

          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.

          to proxy war with Palestine.

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

          Yeah, because we totally need a proxy war with a borderline failed state (depends on whether being a legitimate state is a prerequisite for being a failed state) that Israel already has the capacity to wipe from the map.
