Oddbean new post about login | logout I know I'm largely preaching to the choir here but I need to vent. This whole thing with Kevin McCarthy being booted out and the government at the verge of a shutdown, at the whim of a small handful of extremists is bonkers on a level that's hard to comprehend. That this is even possible speaks volumes not just about the complete lack of character of these people but also how woefully insufficient our Constitution is, STILL, after 27 amendments.
The pedo with a pedo flag in its bio says “handful of extremists.” You’re a fucking child molester and you have the gall to call someone an extremist? Fuck you pedo.
@afb108af oh hey any chance someone can explain in plain language what's going on here? Are the consequences of Kevin McCarthy being booted out good, bad, or other? Assume I know none of the names of any of the major characters. All I know is there was trouble agreeing on the budget.
