    With no regard for morals, ethics, truth, decency, or fairness. That sounds about right.

    So now let's do the current Speaker of the House. How would one rate her performance, and with what primary metrics?

    I would give her high marks for honesty, decency, morals, ethics, fairness. She's mostly effective at mobilizing a fractious coalition, given a slight majority.

    She can't do much about a minority, mostly cowards and cronies, committed to lies, nonsense, corruption, superstition, and Trump.

    This thread isn’t about January 6, since you forgot.

    Any more than the thread is about this?

    This thread is just sliding back into petty rivalries again.

    "You suck."
    "No, you suck."

    Time to go write another pen pal (yes, I have a few). Got a new beautiful Chinese acrylic pen yesterday...

    And you're back to being the busybody... Do you really want to dig back and compare who has disrupted more threads with irrelevant nonsense?
