Something Weird Happened At The Capitol Today [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-01-03 Notice how these people did not show up today and complain about how Nancy Pelosi won the Speakership contest I just got home from work today and I flipped on the news. I quickly learned that something truly bizarre occurred today at the Capitol. No I am not talking about Qevin MqQarthy’s failed attempts to become Speaker of the House. Something even more strange took place and that was...nothing. No left-wing extremists tried to storm the Capitol on January 3, 2023. Not a single Capitol Police officer was beaten or tased by a radical Democrat. Zero windows were smashed in. No horned shaman marched into the chambers and declared that Nancy Pelosi was the real winner of the Speakership contest. Nobody built any gallows and there was not a single murmur of hanging the Vice President from them. And finally no one rubbed their shit all over the walls of the Capitol. Instead the Democrats gracefully accepted the fact that the Republicans were now in the majority in the House of Representatives. Kind of like how the peaceful transfer of power is supposed to work in a functioning democracy. I guess there really is a difference between the two parties.
