David Frum tweet encapsulates my feelings

[bronxiteforever]

on the GOP House.

What kind of nihilistic dope would even contemplate shutting down the US government for 5 minutes in a world like this?

1. David Frum is always very astute. He's one of my favorites.

"If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy." - David Frum

2. They aren't dopes. They are traitors

Working for and supported by Russia, who has the most to gain from all this chaos.

4. Frum wants the GOP to "get things done".

The things they want to get done are not good for this nation.

Frum was one of the worst pieces of garbage during Dick Cheney's presidential terms.

6. Yes. nt

7. As RICO and the MAGATs continue the pattern of repukes shifting the center

farther and farther to the right there's more and more of these scumbags from the past dusting off their swastikas trying to claim the new center.

10. And the Paul Singers of the world

Who famously crowed that "stability is not the way of the world" - and has in fact made most of his money by feeding on and stoking instability.

This also very much applies to the modern GOP's view of governance: that it should only be there to cause problems, to the benefit of their bankrollers.

15. Dopes AND traitors.

And I can think of a whole list of "attributes" beyond that...

[relayerbob]

16. True, they can be both

But lots of people seem to think it’s mostly stupidity, but in Congress it’s much more evil and planned out than that

[calimary]

17. Yep. Many of them are deliberately devious.

Devious by design.

We can't turn our backs for a single nanosecond. OR expect that they'll just give up and go away. They WON'T. Especially when they feel like they're closer than ever to taking it all - and keeping it.

3. and what kind of legal system arbitrarily punishes some and gives a free pass to others?

It's too late for complaining, and it's getting late to do something we should have done decades ago. Tfg could have been stopped then, but nobody bothered to do it. This is our last chance, and we need to stop doing it the same way and expect different results.

5. As Lightfoot wondered IN THE 70's

is it too late for prayin?

12. Amen.

[Rebl2]

8. Fools, idiots, traitors

I could go on, but won’t.

9. "What kind of nihilistic dope..."

Republican "DOPES", wanting to own a lib and willing to cut off their nose to spite their face.

[Midnight Writer]

11. "contemplate" is not a concept Republicans are familiar with.

They don't think, they just act on emotional impulses, like destructive children.

[emulatorloo]

13. More like they are slaves to their Lizard brains

[barbtries]

14. a republican.

what else.
