akshually…
scuttlebutt has been that the second the vote to vacate is triggered, 4 house republicans would immediately resign, putting democrats in the majority. there would be no more republicans in charge and we get a functional house with speaker hakeem jeffries for the next 8 months at least.
you’re going to get that when
a) western media and journalists are deathly afraid of being labeled antisemites for reporting on what the secular government of israel is doing and
b) cable news viewers skew overwhelmingly republican and conservative who are already antimuslim and pro israel to begin with.
these are the people who are keeping the current administration from telling it like it really is. because I honestly don’t believe that bibi would be as empowered to do what he’s been doing in gaza if the us government isn’t actively publicly condemning in plain language what has happened already.
