      100%

      That’s the only reason Republicans shit talk other Republicans.

      They’re mad one got a special spot and they didn’t.

      It’s going to be our saving grace, people act like they don’t remember how many votes it took to get a House leader.

      They’ll stop each other from doing horrible shit, because they all want the credit and acclaim from doing horrible shit.

      Like, not trying to jinx us, but I could see half the Rs wanting to deport anyone Hispanic, and the rest only wanting to deport immigrants. And they spend two years fighting over it till midterms and lose the House and/or Senate.

      It’s just crazy she’s happy being a “chair person” in a subcommittee with 3 people total, all of which have the exact same title.

      trump throws too many more chairs in there, and the ones that already have it get pissed because they’re not special anymore, and the cycle starts over.

      If Mitch McTurtle doesn’t put the work in wrangling cats in both the House and Senate, it’s going to significantly limit Trump’s damage. And McTurtle only really cares about judicial picks. He ain’t going to put the work in to unite House Republicans, and there’s no House Republican who can do it.

        This is another fun way they’re like Nazis. We were pretty lucky because if they weren’t infighting so much they might have had a chance.

        I just hope the Democrats understand this too. Their best moves are probably going to almost always be either stirring the pot to try to turn the GOP on themselves, or throwing wrenches in the governmental machinery whenever possible to keep them from doing anything meaningful.
