There seems to be lots of chatter about this list.

I'd assumed it was just wishful thinking from those who are invested in this as it is the New Year.

Generally the rich and powerful are only truly demonised once they are six feet under and can't tie anyone up in our corrupt legal systems for years, would be a massive surprise to see any different here.

Not sure where to put this and hopefully there's not a violation of GOT policy in promoting a podcast. That said, this is a two-part episode of my friend Mel's podcast. Hope you have time for a listen.

That is an interesting one because providing such life-saving care to a mother (which results in the death of the fetus) is the one thing that the Catholic Church allows in terms of abortion, so it goes somewhat beyond the pro-life position that exists for a lot of people.

Whist how else can you get one over the libtard sheeple.

Proof again these people only exist to Own the Libs.

That's their only goal

Good. They’re now one scandal/retirement/death away from losing their majority without an election even being held.

Unless there’s a GOP rep in a Biden district the Dems can swing over to Jeffries, we‘d still have the religious nut case as speaker

Lamborn will stay in his seat til the election, and a Dem won't win the district, so this retirement really won't change much.

The Democrats would need two. A deadlock won't vacate the chair.

As you know all too well in NC, history suggests that once it's down to a single member who can produce the result, odds are good that a deal can be struck. The Democrats could do a lot with the Speaker's chair, right now. A large enough legislative side payment to flip someone should exist.

219-213 after Johnson from Ohio becomes president of Youngstown State requires flipping four members. That's much harder to swing. Everyone remembers what happened in the 2010 Senate elections after legislative side payments pushed the Democrats to 60 on the ACA. It's a lot easier to find one Kinzinger willing to die on a hill over principle than it is to find four.

Beyond enough to count as 'fundamentalism'?
