Since they're hemmed in by the Senate and White House, they can do little real harm, except to themselves. Might be fun to watch.

You just have to watch her for a minute. Ugly is as ugly does. Hate radiates off her.

I have never minded her on the outside at all, and I've seen her since she first ran for Congress. Tomi Lahren is a hater too, but hotter than hot. Ugly inside though.

It is a very thin majority. All it would take to derail their choo-choo train is a handful of sane, non-head up their asses representatives to vote with the Democrats on any bill. Yes it is a majority, but not a really safe one.

Kevin McCarthy, welcome to your worst nightmare, aside from MTG, Bobo, and the rest of the flying howler monkeys calling themselves Republicans….

ie, No bill makes it to a floor vote unless it's supported by a majority of Republicans.

What if all dems/indies vote for Boebert?

Yeah! I know. Horrible thought.

Put some pressure on the GOP.

Incompetence. Republican incompetence.

Or can members only vote for/against those put forward?
