1. "Divisions amongst extremists." ???

Which Republican lunatics run the house from hour to hour. The case is at rest.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And they've left for the weekend with no Speaker in sight

Meanwhile, governing is on hold.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Five weeks from today

Is 17 November. A Friday. Good day to take the weekend off and blame Dems for everything. It surely must suck horribly to be a Republican at any level, state, municipality, anywhere in America. Their hero hitler at least had a plan.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I agree. Fomenting the chaos appears to be intentional

They've left yet again with the pressing issues of this country yet to be addressed.

[BOSSHOG]

5. And people who support them obviously approve

Oh go ahead destroy freedom and democracy and the world, weekends are for idleness.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. How many times have we seen Congress working into the wee hours to get the country's work done?

But this time the Republicans are making the decisions.

[BOSSHOG]

7. One consolation (I guess)

Conservatives in the house know they don’t know what they are doing. And yet stupid people vote.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. You're right, it could be worse. Like electing Jordan as Speaker.

But I have faith that he will not get Democratic votes - which they need.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Isn't it bizarre

If they elect Jordan, that could be their death knell. Isn’t it fascinating that good people are having this conversation while the clock ticks.

Best case scenario, the gop is on life support thanks to trump.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. If only he is removed from the ballot or finally behind bars, will this country return to "normal?"

I fear it will take a very long time.
