So turns out, Derid is a big fan of government defaults.

jeez

This is why no one else could be bothered to take your bait.

So, Freedom Caucus rebellion has ousted Boehner , prevented that slimeball McCarthy from backing his way into the Speakership and instead we end up with Paul Ryan.


Speaker Ryan has also committed to starting major legislative processes well in advance of deadlines and letting the various committees having an opportunity to be heard and take part in the policy discussion which is IMO far and away the most important reform that the FC was asking for.

Ryan is not a perfect guy, and I certainly have many policy differences with him.... but I also fail to see how this cannot be considered a large upgrade from pretty much any angle.

Freedom caucus road leads to a government default no matter who is driving.

So much for good intentions:

So, apparently its business as usual. Boehner without the crying.

I wouldn't be so sure about crying.

Trump's recent escalation of rhetoric cements the battle lines and likely his nomination. Surprisingly, the old Dick came out on the (relatively) reasonable side.

Meanwhile business as usual in Congress.
