A political party that threatens to crash the economy unless poor people are made to suffer more is a party that has no regard for human dignity, social justice, or democratic values. Such a party is driven by greed, corruption, and elitism, and does not deserve the trust or support of the people. A responsible and compassionate political party would seek to improve the living conditions of all citizens, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized ones, and to foster economic growth that is sustainable and inclusive.

Meanwhile, this is how the new John Malone-owned and Chris Licht-run #CNN is currently reacting to this obvious fascist #coup attempt -- by burying it off to the side of a fluff piece about GOP #HouseSpeaker and Trump/Bolsonaro bootlicker Kevin McCarthy:

@joeinwynnewood

Considering the fact that our party system is failing, we need to protect our government when we see it malfunction, as it just did.

Just as we need to fine tune the Presidential Candidate selection process so idiot wannabe dictators cannot run.

@juca

I think this was planned. The repub resistors held back a long time so Trump calling looks like he saved the day. It's to get him the election in 2024!!

It's true Trump slime!!

#Trump #HouseSpeaker

I wonder how long this late night call was planned........

So the #DictatorWannabe is taking credit for "saving" the vote.

The easy part is over for Kevin McCarthy. No, seriously. That was the easiest vote of a Speaker's career. #HouseSpeaker #118thCongress #RepublicanHouseClownShow

I cringe to think these guys are in charge of running what is one of the most infuential countries in the world.

When we get angry or frustrated, our emotions take over. This is the case whether we're a group of kids in the schoolyard, or grown men in suits and ties who should know how to behave.

Looks like McCarthy will win this, but remember at any time any one of these nutbars can put in a motion to vacate and force more votes for #SpeakeroftheHouse #HouseSpeaker #House #108thCongress

We now go live to the US House of Representatives

Seems like a good time to plug this @Forbes Newsroom chat about Congressional salaries and why the House Speaker gets paid more than other lawmakers.

Kevin McCarthy is like the guy who pesters a girl for a date 1,000 times until she gets so fucking exhausted from it, she just agrees, but, she's sure to tell him "OK, but this is going NOWHERE", and he says "Yay! Thanks!"

#HouseSpeaker #insurrectionist The night show! Didn’t Trump tend to grab attention with some breaking news almost every Friday. We are watching the same insurrectionists seize power two years later. Why do I suspect Putin and Trump are pulling the puppet strings of 12-18 Representatives Elect?

In order to win support as #HouseSpeaker, #McCarthy is promising rules that allow a single rep to call for a vote of no confidence.

So even if McCarthy wins, a single asshole like Matt Gaetz can subject the House to a neverending stream of no-confidence votes?

Seems untenable!
