In reply to the discussion: Boehner Will Resign from Congress [View all]sofa king
(10,857 posts)... some magical national security measure kicked in and within 72 hours the Republicans came out of the woodshed endorsing the Democratic President's plan.
We almost got 'em to do it twice, but John Boehner was smart enough to slip out of the second crisis without triggering the backroom ass-whipping they got the first time--which included allowing the expiration of tax cuts for the rich and the loss of a trillion dollars in defense funding.
Since we're already dealing with criminals, more and stupider crazies in House leadership may actually mean more power for a Democratic President and for Democratic legislators who actually know how to legislate.
Some day soon, that might be how America finally changes for the better, through constant idiot-generated crisis, where stupid Republicans lose something important and irreplaceable every time they shut the government down.
