Well, the dipshitt assessment is my own, as media outlets don't typically assign a "vulgar" label. But as a dyed-in-the-wool vulgarian, I believe it fits. But they are all covering it, including about how he pulled the alarm and then didn't exit through the door he initially tried to open. Just google "Jamaal Bowman fire" and ABC, NBC, NYT, WAPO, CNN, etc. all have stories.

He pled guilty to it. So yeah, he definitely did wrong.

Which is a huge move. He should be removed from whatever assignments he has and be voted out next go around

lol the new guy just did the exact same thing McCarthy did

You guys are so focking stupid

 

The House passed legislation on Tuesday to keep federal funding flowing into early 2024, after Democrats stepped in to rescue a plan opposed by many Republicans to avert a government shutdown at the end of the week.

A coalition of Democrats and mainstream Republicans overcame the opposition of G.O.P. conservatives to approve the bill under special expedited procedures that required a supermajority. That approach, hatched by Speaker Mike Johnson, amounted to a gamble that a substantial number of Democrats would rally to help pass a package that Mr. Johnson’s own party was unwilling to back.

The vote was 336 to 95, clearing the two-thirds threshold required for passage. In the end, 209 Democrats and 127 Republicans joined to pass the bill. Ninety-three Republicans opposed it, as did two Democrats.

Right that’s the point. They kicked McCarthy out for trying to do this.

I've been really busy lately to follow as closely as usual, but I'm not really seeing the distinction or the difference.

[RLLD 4,145]

I do not observe the same dissention around this one as we did the last. I do not understand how this Speaker not holding the money hostage is different.

The difference is McCarthy agreed to discuss single issue voting to avoid the previous shutdown and didn’t. Johnson hasn’t had much time to discuss anything.
