Would not this be a good time to test the hypothesis of all that chatter I hear about how there are indeed a large portion of sane Republican sitting members wanting to best serve all Americans? If there is such a large majority of them, where are they and why aren’t they putting an end to this? Oh I know because sanity and serving people left the building long ago as Trump and others have helped disease them all in varying ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 House Republicans remove metal detectors from the Capitol According to Axios, one of the first actions of the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives was to remove metal detectors outside of the House chambers. The move comes just days before the upcoming second anniversary of the Jan. 6 attacks. The removal of the metal detectors has been widely seen as a political move to unite the Republican party, as they grapple with internal infighting from voting for Speaker of the House to the nomination process for the 2024 Presidential election. The designated spokesperson for the Republican party members on the House of Representatives Rules Committee has not responded to media inquires requesting a further explanation. Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert, a noted pro-gun enthusiast, said the move to remove the metal detectors helped turn the House back "into the peoples House." https://www.alternet.org/republicans-remove-metal-detectors-capitol/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GOP hasn't begun to hit bottom yet, but they are working hard on it.... 'House Karen': GOP lawmaker lampooned for blaming Republican infighting on Democrats and their snacks United States Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-Florida) reprimanded Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday for enjoying the spectacle of Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-California) failing to secure enough votes to be elected speaker of the House. McCarthy spent his political career wheeling and dealing for the moment in which former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) would have to relinquish the symbolic wooden hammer wielded by the leader of the lower chamber. “I want you to watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel," McCarthy wisecracked in July 2021. "It will be hard not to hit her with it." Yet McCarthy's ambitions have all but evaporated despite six rounds of ballots cast since Tuesday when the 118th Congress commenced. This is because the right-wing House Freedom Caucus is refusing to support him. Conversely, Democrats are united behind their choice for speaker – Congressman and House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn, New York – and are relishing the chaos within the fractured GOP conference. Cammack, who backs McCarthy, was clearly quite bothered by this. "Diversity of thought is a good thing. It's one of the things that sets us apart from our friends on the other side of the aisle. Yes, diversity of thought is a good thing. But they want us divided. They want us to fight each other. That much has been made clear by the popcorn and blankets and alcohol that is coming over there," she said. https://www.alternet.org/house-karen-republican-infighting-democrats/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
