Have the democrats put up a candidate for the speaker as it's a vote of the whole house, not just the republications?
yes, they've voted unanimously for Hakeem J. every vote.
After his latest round of concessions, Kevin McCarthy is making it worse. He clearly doesn't give a damn about the institution - he just wants his name in the history books.
Those 20 are asking for oral sex. Get on your knees McCarthy.

Do adult book stores card everyone in Louisiana?
2024 is going to be tough for Dems -- 23 of the 34 Senate seats are held by Dems or Independents that caucus with Dems. At least its an election year with higher turnout.

It sounds like their biggest issue involves how PAC's spend money in Republican primaries. You think we're watching some high-minded exhibition of democracy?
