@annmlipton impressive!

@Teri_Kanefield One wonders if the point is to shut down the government, and throw everything into chaos. Finish shunting aside Rs unwilling to break their constitutional oaths, and set the House up to defy the next election...at least in the minds of the few that have their hands on the levers. Some may fear prosecution, and like TFG, are willing to torch us all to keep it from happening. If they succeed, then the insurrection has leveled up.

@JoshuaHolland everybody should turn out tomorrow with a "Free Dennis" T-shirt. Or "Clinging to the Brand"

@JoshuaHolland we're watching old cowboy movies. Cable hosts are hyperventilating.

@pluralistic though I agree with much of what you say, I'm not with you on this one. Of course politicians do politics. But rather you should view this through the executive lens. Every circumstance has context. Raising children or running a business or treating patients will tell you this. Principals guide the arc of the institution, but to right a ship, get a kid through school, do a triage, one has to maintain some flexibility, and judgement.
