It's going to be a long two years, that's for sure. At least the Clown Caucus doesn't get a chance to impact anything until the FY24 budget.

I’m about to start SS withdrawals in a couple of years and I plan on using Medicare so I’m a little nervous about this clown show.

Unless the GOP decides to cut those, you should be okay. I'm 65 this year but since I'm still working Medicare isn't really an issue for me yet, but I'll get there. But it's absolutely a clown show!

A magnificent example of good sportsmanship and genuine comradeship. I hadn’t heard him deliver a speech before. Really impressive.

He’d make a good Speaker in a couple of years, when America realizes we’ve had enough of the misbegotten McCarthy era.

12. I like this guy

I have really not known that much about Hakeem Jeffries, but he is quite an eloquent speaker and gives out punches when punches are needed. I think he had me at "maturity over mar-a-lago"

If we have to suffer the stupidity of a Republican House, Jeffries will make sure we have payback. And if they ever come to their senses to get things done, Jeffries will keep them honest.

Wow... he ROCKED the House! It's great to have such a fantastic orator on our side while we all watch this Republican clown show. I'm sure he will brutally call them out!!
