The west is saved, alongside his relationship to his immediate family and general home life, once the kiwi farms karma score rests comfortably somewhere around 10k, and every hat lodged against said score rising is a grievous wound. Woe betide those who doubt the life-changing power of karma scores
very true, almost sad that it's over but o well there's always next season
It's somewhat easy to understand the reasons, unless you happen to be one of the incoming dolts. In essence, since the Trump caucus gave the GOP perhaps the worst midterm results in recorded history, said caucus now actually has enough votes to stonewall like this. Had the midterms gone like they normally are expected to - party out of power wins the house hand over fist - then these whining chaps would be nothing important.
The ability to hold this process up is historically unprecedented, because the founders never imagined people so stupid would get into office. Because the expected procedure is that the Trump caucus engages in some horse-trading, right? We'll agree if you drop this, we want this, yadda yadda yadda - they are the keystone thanks to their own bungling of the election, so they wield the bargaining power. Except... they don't really stand for anything, and they have no real policy to speak of. So they can't actually ask for concessions - Kevin is basically trying to guess at what they want, and has served up plenty of red meat.
Yet for the Trump caucus, giving in - to anything short of complete capitulation as if they represented the majority of the party's interests - is defeat, and anyways they're so ignorant about how government works that they think nothing is impacted by the house quite literally being unable to hold session. The way they've rationalized it is that they've "stopped government from passing bills the American people don't want or need," yadda yadda yadda... except they've also stopped the house from more routine, mundane authorizations and renewals and extensions of things that the people broadly do want. It still has not gotten through to them that most people (even those sympathetic to "the cause") regard the Jan 6th retards not as PATRIOTIC HEROES, but as clowns -- and it never will, because their districts' VERY intelligent populations will believe anything, so long as it's in the headlines of whatever evidently-infallibly source they trust. As-such, there is quite really no consequence at all for the political careers of most of the Trump caucus from this little stunt, though Boebert should probably have kept in mind how narrow her victory was.
