Highly unlikely.

Anyone with an R next to their name would be commiting political suicide to cross the isle like that.

We might see one of the more centrist Rs try to broker a power sharing deal if things get too bleak though since it's apparent the freedom caucus does not know what compromise or negotiation means.

I have a subscription to libro.fm for that

Wow. Useless.

Last audiobook I did was 52 hours long.

It's been awhile since I've done a book shorter than 15 hours.

Because he can't be trusted to share power.

McCarthy had two choices:
Do what the freedom caucus wanted and never see anything pass the Senate.
Make a deal across the isle and get some work done.

He dragged his feet, hymed and hawed and eventually caved in on option 2 as it's the only reasonable one.

Then he proceeded to attack those who he just made a deal with the very next day.

He could have instead said that real leadership is finding compromises that move things forward but he's lose MAGA voters who see the government burning down as an upside.

So he sold his soul, again, to those crazies and yet again proved he isn't reliable.

Does this benefit the House as an organization?

Absolutely not. But the clown show that will follow in the next few weeks will make the GOP look horrible at least.

And maybe, just maybe, some of the more sensible parts of the GOP will come to the Democrats with a power sharing deal that will completely neuter the freedom caucus once they see how hopeless their situation is.

Don't blame them for not wanting a bunch of night clubs open until 2 am.

It's fucking horrible.

And must testify in the other RICO cases, which is most important.

This is getting the small fries to turn and help catch the bigger fish.

Yes, an OEM license is not transferable from the hardware the OEM originally installed it on, even to a VM running on that hardware.

I still use Reddit on desktop but I've switched to Lemmy on mobile since Reddit killed third party apps.

I would use just Lemmy but it hasn't hit userbase criticality yet.

It's fine as a link aggregator but frustrating when a post I'm interested in has a deserted comment section.

Been listening to this all week.

It's true, game prices today are the same as they have been for the past 40 years for AAA titles.

I can't think of an industry which hasn't had a price raise in decades.

Gaming had managed to get by on this thanks to increasing market volume as gaming became more mainstream in addition to extra revenue streams like micro transactions. But it's hitting saturation now and won't keep counteracting inflation forever
