Remember, the same Republicans who are right now ousting their own Speaker are the very same folks who tried to hang their own Vice President.
I mean, look at what they do to their own. Imagine what they'll do to YOU.
@mcfate @Stonekettle ...maybe. Can't rule out the possibility that they just have a snit and prevent the election of a new speaker. DOOOOOOM!
LET 'em. They'll take the blame AGAIN.
@mcfate @Stonekettle Yeah, up to a point. If they cause a default that way, the damage to all of us will dwarf the damage to their reputations.
They already broke down rather than allow that to happen. Why would anyone think they're not going to do the same thing again?
@mcfate @Stonekettle Consistency and rationality are not their strong suites.
And? They STILL can't even agree with EACH OTHER. And they STILL only have about five votes to PLAY with.
And a lot of them are STILL from districts Biden WON.
@mcfate @Stonekettle It's cause for hope, I agree, but the only thing they need to agree to to put congress into a long standstill is not to vote with the Democrats. Without Democratic votes, getting any Speaker elected in this House is a difficult balancing act.
@Stonekettle cannibals be cannibals. 😏
@Stonekettle they are running 1 out of 2, they’re ok with that
@Stonekettle
They ain't doin' shit without a Speaker other than replacing him.
