    Republicans failing because they’re bad at literally everything except fear mongering

    “Boy this makes the Democrats look bad!”

    Love seeing Democrats held responsible for Republican foolishness, as if the GOP are children fighting over what kind of cereal to get while the parents do nothing. At some point Republicans are going to have to be held accountable for their own fucking behavior, because although they’re a party full of immature, selfish, posturing, anti-democracy protofascists, they’re also grown adults. Let their failure be a demonstration to reasonable people everywhere of exactly how unfit they are to govern.

      “The buck stops here.”.

      Democrats certainly aren’t responsible for creating the problem, but they certainly can take credit for solving it.

      The only people who benefit from the GOP sorting it out themselves are Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump.

        You live in a unicorn world if you think that the GOP will give any credit to the Dems for allowing them to elect their speaker. They will somehow find a way to turn it against the Dems in the most inane way.
