    But hey, it’s all her fault, so let’s kick her out of her office

    She was supposed to move out 10 months ago. She still has her normal office with every other House Rep in another building.

    So no, it’s not her office.

    You’re very opinionated for not reading the article you posted tho

      No… she wasn’t.

      It is her office, or at least it was.

      There are a number of unlisted offices that can be assigned. It is customary to allow a Speaker to retain one of these if they leave that role.

      Maybe you’re the one that should do some actual research?

        Right it was…

        Then, it wasn’t.

        She doesn’t get to keep it indefinitely, and 10 months seems long enough to move out.

        How much longer did you want them to wait?

        It is customary to allow a Speaker to retain one of these if they leave that role.

        If that’s true, I googled and can only see Pelosi’s recent claims:

        Well, now there’s a new ex-speaker…

        How many ex-speakers get an office in the Capitol Building?

        Do you think McCarthy and Pelosi should share?

        Do we take someone else’s office so they can both have one?

        Just take two seconds and think about it

          There are multiple offices. No one is sharing.

          You really don’t know what you’re talking about. It is a long-standing tradition for the former speaker to maintain an office after their term. Pelosi allowed the speaker before her to maintain an office, for example.

          This is just being done out of spite. Petty nonsense.

            Mate, we got our representation capped because we ran out of space…

            There’s not infinite office space in the Capitol Building, that’s why House office are in an adjoing building.

            It’s not rocket appliances

              BS. Representation got capped because capping it benefited those in power.

              It’s easy to allocate more representative to more seats, it’s easy to allocate more office space to more representatives - even if it’s not necessarily in the same building.

              This issue has come up in a multitude of nations, and everyone has managed to dive this puzzle - and you expect people to believe that “the greatest nation on earth” can’t do it, because there’s apparently a finite amount of fucking office space in America??
