  I don't think it's disingenuous, the point is that the media loves arguing and fighting, not that Democrats and Republicans are the same.
context: McCarthy has no intention of working with Democrats.   His hate caucus won't let him, he's their puppet now. >
  
  If McCarthy tries to work with Democrats all it takes is one of those crazies to call for his head. McCarthy is a Speaker in name only. He gets to enjoy a nice office and balcony and that’s it. He might as well stay on the balcony because the crazy caucus is in charge now. >
  
  I don’t believe that any meaningful legislation will get passed because if it does that means it passes through the Senate. If it has a chance to pass the Senate McCarthy didn’t go far enough to the right. Then with the new rules only one member of congress can call a confidence vote to boot McCarthy. With the holdouts not putting forward an actual candidate and just wanting to screw McCarthy for personal gain, expect that with every bill, every rule, every committee. McCarthy sold his soul and his shoes to become speaker, but in the end the only thing he has is the title, he is a prisoner of the far right. And I don’t think anything will get done beside vendetta investigations and cherry picked evidence, which ( in my opinion ) might actually help the Democrats in 2024 when the public sees that the Republicans don’t want to legislate >
  
  How likely are a bunch of these new rules to be actually put into place? Don’t they have to be voted on? I would imagine their are some Republicans that aren’t going to go along with rewarded the Gaetz gang benefitting from their tantrum. >
  
  and why isn't he in jail and how bad is his district that he was reelected?   and why has he not  been indicted?   And why is Jim Jordan still electable when he condoned and ignored the sexual abuse of children?  what kind of district would vote such evil into power? >
  
  The US doesn't indict wealthy, well-connected men even when they attempt a coup against the country. >
  
  I imagine it is going to be like the last two years of the Trump presidency when the balance of power was reversed.  There will be lots of partisan squabbling feeding the media going in to 2024 but not much getting done. >
  
  Equating these two situations feels a bit disingenuous…
  Almost as if saying “eh, both parties lie” in response to republicans trying to blatantly dismantle democracy itself.
