The headline made it sound like the Republicans avoided it; that’s all. You know most Republicans don’t read anything more than a headline. :) I’m mostly frustrated with that is all. The context almost always leans differently.
Republicans avoid shutdown by cutting deal with Democrats over their own party’s hardliners
Any Republican who reads that, what do you think they read? I know what I think, and, unfortunately, as an observer of those people’s reactions, I’m positive that’s how they’ll read it.
Not my take away from the headline at all. Makes the GOP sound like they don’t have their shit together so McCarthy had to go hat in hand to the Dems seeking actual adults capable of governing.
To be fair, while most of the GOP might have their shit together, they have a crazy faction blocking them
In a way, it might just be possible that this marks a realization that they will have better results working in a bipartisan manner than trying to appease the nutjobs.
What a misleading headline. Makes it sound like the Republicans did the hard work.
What is life? We are in the evil timeline.
It didn’t read that way to me. This could be the end of McCarthy as speaker because he worked with Democrats. Did you see the paragraph:

Well Republicans control the house so it was factually a Republican who sided with Democrats over the Republican freedom caucus.
But now comes the speaker fight. And whoever becomes speaker gets the albatross of the biden impeachment around their neck.
Except like 15 mins ago Gaetz just said he’s gonna try to unseat McCarthy

Well technically they did work hard… at blocking anything possible to stop this shutdown, because a shutdown is good for a very few rich assholes
