Media Madness

I've been enjoying the speaker chaos this week. It is nice to see someone, anyone, challenging the system. In congress they called out the uniparty and the corporate capture of congress critters. Although McCarthy managed to pull it out, my bet is he will be weakened and ineffectual Jimmy Dore's "force the vote" concept has been validated by the Republicans. I think it was Saagar who was talking this week about the last time this happened in 1923. He said the difference this time is that there was not a common demand by the rebels. I don't see this speaker conflict as a failure, but a success. As Jimmy pointed out had this been 2020 and the democrats proceeded with force the vote, then MSM would have spent a week talking about their demand for a Medicare for ALL vote.
