This guy seems pretty conciliatory. I have been pleasantly surprised by his speech.

It's a lateral move so not much to comment on.
Pubs just voted to end the current mess. It doesn't fix the basic problem which is that the Republican party is splitting into two ideologically incompatible camps.

Who cares... it's not like he's actually going to do anything important in the short time until the next election.

And guess what? If it wasn't for Hakeem Jeffries and the democrats, he wouldn't have been the speaker!

Ooooops.

I'd like to know if the kept this rule in place also. If they did he will have to walk a fine line just like McCarthy and I bet his fate will be the same as McCarthy.
