  1. The house? JUST the house? I think things have been pretty fucking chaotic since 2016.

  2. Republicans are in the worst chaos….

    Notice when its republicans the right wing media uses “the house”. If it was dems they would say Dems.

  3. 100% thanks to Republicans. There’s no “both siding” this, no matter how desperate they are to do it.

  4. We’re seeing the death throes of The Republican Party as we know it and they’re trying to bring the rest of the country with it.

  5. yeah, but will it reach this level?

    >The most infamous floor brawl in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives erupted as Members debated the Kansas Territory’s pro-slavery Lecompton Constitution late into the night of February 5-6. Shortly before 2 a.m., Pennsylvania Republican Galusha Grow and South Carolina Democrat Laurence Keitt exchanged insults, then blows. “In an instant the House was in the greatest possible confusion,” the Congressional Globe reported. More than 30 Members joined the melee. Northern Republicans and Free Soilers joined ranks against Southern Democrats.

    >When Representative Cadwallader Washburn, a Republican from Wisconsin, grabbed Representative William Barksdale, Democrat from Mississippi, by the hair, Barksdale’s wig came off. He tried to replace his hairpiece but in his haste, he mistakenly put it on backwards. He looked so absurd trying to fight but unable to see his opponents, all of the men started laughing. This brought the fight to an abrupt end.

  6. And it’s all thanks to that useless party known as the GOP. They are a total waste of government funding.

  7. You’re telling me the GOP can’t elect a house leader?

    There’s always Jeffries … just saying 😂

  8. And it’s between the representatives from the same confederate states.

  9. Stop this “both sides”-ism!

    The House is in disarray because of the Trump sucker’s Caucus and the lemming like Republican Party. Full stop.

    The Democrats are united and ready to govern. They did not create or condone this nonsense.

    McCarthy totally reneged on his promises and when offered a lifeline (even after spitting in the faces of those he made the deal with) told them to fuck off.

    This is 100% on Republicans alone. Any other conclusion is pure unadulterated bullshit.

  10. This article was written by Newt Gingrich and every word of it is to be taken with a gigantic grain of salt.

    It was Newt Gingrich’s advocacy of intransigence and refusal to compromise or work across the aisle that’s exactly the reason we’re in this mess in the first fucking place.

    His assertion in the article that Democrats are becoming an anti-white, anti-semitic party betrays his ridiculous bias.

  11. This is all the result of the Tea Party nonsense during the Obama era. It’s brought us Palin, Ted Cruz, the Freedom Caucus, MAGA and the losing Republican strategy of not negotiating anything. Obstructionism has reached peak form as the GOP can no longer negotiate with themselves. They are the dog that finally caught the car.

    Edit: The GOP is going to put The Onion out of business as the real news is indistinguishable from satire.

  12. Once again caused by conservatives what a fucking surprise

  13. This was written by Newt fucking Gingrich. Great job letting that fucker spill more of your ink and pixels for his obviously bullshit propaganda, Telegraph:

    “As the national Democrats have grown more radical, their more moderate state and local members, such as the African American mayor of Dallas, Texas, have begun switching to the Republican Party.

    The GOP is becoming the party of working Americans of all ethnic backgrounds. The Democrats have become the party of highly educated elites. This is an almost complete reversal of the governing coalition President Franklin Delano Roosevelt put together in the 1930s.”

  14. I like that the right blames democrats, as if we brought it to the floor and not one of their own favorite celebrity politicians. Y’all have the majority. Get your shit together.

  15. At least this time it’s because one party is against itself.

  16. No coincidence. It’s the same type of insurrectionists.

  17. It’s always fun to see even the “reasonable” Republicans condemning your very existence as way to unify the party again.

    “Look maybe we don’t agree on much but can’t we all come together to make trans people miserable”

  18. Well if history is indeed repeating itself, then quite a few House members should be kicked out for treason (just like what happened right before the civil war).

  19. The US House of Representatives is not in chaos, the GOP is…

  20. this whole era is like a really dumb verision of the civil war

  21. >The Democrat Party’s dramatic shift to a deeply leftwing, pro-transsexual, anti-white, and anti-Semitic ideology is a driving factor.

    Yeah, OK Newt. Back to your dark musty room.

  22. That’s rich, Newt, calling the democratic party anti semitic when your party members held a rally on a stage literally shaped like a swastika. I can’t believe this troll is still alive.

  23. How in God’s name can Republicans place Jim Jordan as 3rd line to the Presidency? This Putin via Gaetz and Jordan.

  24. Thanks to Republicans. No other reason. They could stop being fascist right now and govern. But won’t. They’re in Russia’s pocket.

  25. Weren’t people actually assaulted around that time, though? Don’t really think this is the same.

  26. Only the Republican side. The Dems are fine. As far as I’m concerned, the GOP side can have fun getting eaten by all the many leopards they brought with them.

  27. We are in a civli war. Treasonous Republican Nazis are embedded in the very foundation of our government, waging war on democracy and the United States. Republican leaders went unpunished for their coup attempt on Jan 6th, so they are going to default on the debt, burn the Capitol in the next 12 months and then do it again. They are going to do everything they can to prevent, dissolve or deflect the next election – then deny everything they don’t control after. Republicans are telling us who they are and what they are going to do – believe them. Treat them like the threat they are and organize to defend democracy.

  28. Putin wants to sow chaos and division inside the U.S. So does Xi. So do Republicans.

    Exact same agenda.

  29. Let’s not kid anyone, civil war is the goal!

  30. Isn’t it interesting that the whole hullabaloo with the Supreme Court justices being bought off has just kind of gone away? I’ll tell you one thing: whoever is really pulling the strings for the government is doing a pretty prettty prettttty good job of distracting us.

  31. One man created this . Remember folks. Find the root cause there is only one lol

  32. Correction: republicans are causing the worst chaos in the House of Representatives since the Civil War. This is definitely not a “both sides” situation.
