I agree. Fomenting the chaos appears to be intentional Rhiannon12866 Oct 2023 #4

And people who support them obviously approve BOSSHOG Oct 2023 #5

How many times have we seen Congress working into the wee hours to get the country's work done? Rhiannon12866 Oct 2023 #6

One consolation (I guess) BOSSHOG Oct 2023 #7

You're right, it could be worse. Like electing Jordan as Speaker. Rhiannon12866 Oct 2023 #8

Is 17 November. A Friday. Good day to take the weekend off and blame Dems for everything. It surely must suck horribly to be a Republican at any level, state, municipality, anywhere in America. Their hero hitler at least had a plan.

Conservatives in the house know they don’t know what they are doing. And yet stupid people vote.

If they elect Jordan, that could be their death knell. Isn’t it fascinating that good people are having this conversation while the clock ticks.

Best case scenario, the gop is on life support thanks to trump.
