      No the temper tantrum is pretty much constant at this point. That's how the GQP thrive, whip up their base to get angry against an imaginary bogeyman. Gay people, trans people, minorities, abortions, dems taking away guns, socialism, whatever. It's like that meme, they don't want to be informed they want to be angry.

        It’s getting so bad that republicans are having temper tantrums from shit other republicans do (or in this case, don’t do.)

        It’s hilarious. Geatz seriously needs to realize that if he doesn’t play ball and compromise…. McCarthy is gonna go with the dems. Which means compromise in the wrong direction; from his point of view.

          I think the threat from Groomer Gaetz is if McCarthy compromises with Dems, Gaetz will initiate a recall on McCarthy.

            well… yeah.

            but that's not going to go anywhere. Gaetz doesn't have the votes to replace him. Gaetz does that… and that's even more influence and compromises with the dems. All this is going to show that the idiots in the freedom caucus don't understand the basic functions of the job.

              They are not thinking multiple moves ahead. It's a slow boat but we can all see where it goes. In fact we could all see it months ago when McCarthy made the deal with the devil.

                pretty sure we all commented on it then, too. They're playing checkers like a 4 yo still learning about rules and stuff…

                It'd be funny if it wasn't going to hurt people. lots. it's going to hurt lots of people.
