The whole freedom caucus is full of angry white dudes who are okay with a fascist movement in their party… Of course, they’re gonna be assholes to each other as much as to the rest of us.

T minus 3 days and counting. I am of the thought process that (as much as they are capable of planning) they want to burn the country down and try to blame Biden for it in '24. “Sooner reign in hell than serve in heaven” sort of thing. I can only pray the Dems are prepared to counter this, because I do not think they can stop it.

The GOP factions hate each other, some are strongly inclined toward violence, and several are allegedly armed in meeting rooms/on the House floor.
This truly seems like a recipe for disaster.
He noted that the Republican-controlled Rules Committee removed a provision that Democrats had put in place for the previous two-year period prohibiting firearms in hearing rooms and committees. One of the new GOP majority’s first acts was to remove the magnetometers that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had installed outside the House chamber after the Jan. 6 riot.

No longer content with turning the clock back to the 1950’s, Republicans are twisting it back to the 1850’s.
