That's completely unfair by Hannity. I've see plenty of episodes of The Price is Right that ran as efficiently as a Swiss clock.

Made this thread thinking the Speaker vote would be over by now, and we'd be talking about whatever investigations had been launched already.

 

Oh, they're coming.  They've got a web page set up already.  Assuming they can get out of their own way first, of course.

Don't forget to spay or neuter your representative.

This meme has been played out, but this version is pretty good.

Survey: Religiously, Congress doesn’t reflect America

 

Religiously speaking, the incoming 118th Congress looks like America — that is, the America of decades past, rather than today.

 

Congress is far more Christian, and religious overall, than today’s general population.

 

Even though nearly three in 10 Americans claim no religious affiliation — a rate that has steadily risen in recent years — only two of the 534 incoming members of Congress publicly identify as such.

 

Those are among the conclusions of an analysis by Pew Research Center of the 118th Congress, which was expected to start this week pending a House leadership vote.

 

The Congress “remains largely untouched by two trends that have long marked religious life in the United States: a decades-long decline in the share of Americans who identify as Christian, and a corresponding increase in the percentage who say they have no religious affiliation,” said the Pew report, released Tuesday. It was based on a CQ Roll Call survey of members of Congress.

 

Nearly 88% of members of Congress identify as Christian, compared with only 63% of U.S. adults overall. That includes 57% of congresspersons who identify as Protestant and 28% as Catholic, both higher than national rates. Also, 6% of members of Congress identify as Jewish, compared with 2% of the overall population.

 

While 29% Americans claim no religious affiliation, they’d have to squint to see themselves reflected in Congress. The only overtly non-religious members are U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., who identifies as humanist, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, independent of Arizona, who says she’s religiously unaffiliated.

 

Pew listed 20 other members of Congress as having unknown religious affiliations, either because they declined to answer CQ Roll Call’s query or because the answers are otherwise muddled (such as in the case of New York Republican George Santos, along with much else in his background).

 

Historically, lacking a religious identity was seen as a political liability.

 

Only 60% of Americans told a Gallup survey in 2019 that they’d be willing to vote for an atheist — fewer than would vote for gays or lesbians or various religious or ethnic groups.

How soon would there be a vote to oust him? Piss off the same group and then what's stooping all the Dems from voting for him to be out? Or vice versa once the Death Cult gets their committee seats?

Interesting. They have a 'Whistleblower' tab. It would be shame if millions of citizens submitted a request to investigate sitting members of Congress who participated in the January 6th insurrection.

If KM makes it to Speaker. I'll add "Fresh Concessions" to the title of this thread. Because I've read that more than a few times in the past 24 hours.

I just tried to do submit this form. The capchata wasn't working and the form wasn't submitted. Probably because there isn't a House of Representatives right now. Ha!

"Tell you what, Kevin. I can deliver 100 Dem votes for you to be speaker. If you will renounce every concession you made, to the Sedition Caucus. And promise to keep the Rules of the House the way they are, right now. 
 

You'll be the majority Party. Using the same rules that we used, when we were the majority Party.
