Politics is a clown show for me period - both sides. I like the chaos. The government that governs best is the one that governs least - so I’m always rooting for shutdowns, gridlock, automatic spending cuts, etc.
I'm somewhat in agreeance. I don't want a government that's in such lockstop that everything passes.

#24With the Republicans in disarray and the Democrats fielding Joe Biden, it seems like a good time for a 3rd party candidate for the 2024 election. Possibly the most realistic context for an actual shot at a 3rd party presidency that I've ever seen.
US has two-party system. You can't have 3rd party with First-past-the-post and Electoral College.

#25Welcome to the clown show. 15 ballots in January for this. Republicans need to get their house in order. Its embarrassing. Or, at least, it should be. First time in history the Speaker’s been ejected like this.

That was the reason given for his ousting.

It's my understanding that he didn't live up to his side of the bargain struck with Gaetz & Co. to become speaker, so Gaetz acted accordingly.
The notion that Gaetz is in any way a good guy here is a little bizarre. But he didn't live up the bargain he struck with the Democrats either.

It’s a representative government, so in a way, we’re all clowns here.

basically he made friends with noone. the next speaker should be a little more careful
