Republicans Are In Complete Chaos

In both Washington DC, and Austin, Texas, the GOP seems incapable of running their own party, let alone the government.

After 14 days of waiting for Congress to vote for the Speaker of the House, they finally held a losing vote for Jim Jordan. There are 30 days left until the government shuts down again. Congress still doesn’t have a speaker and cannot move forward with anything until they do.

After the losing vote today, it’s rumored that Jordan will lose support. But maybe they’ll go back to the floor tomorrow and try again. It’s remarkable that the GOP in our nation’s capitol is so divided and can’t come together even to pick a leader. It mirrors the chaos we’ve been seeing in Texas this year.

Four Texas House members have banded together to cause chaos within the House Republican Caucus. Those members are Tony Tinderholt, Steve Toth, Nate Schatzline, and Brian Harrison. (I wanted to call them the carpetbagger caucus, but Harrison is from Dallas.)

Yesterday, Tinderholt, Toth, and Harrison banded together to call for the suspension of the House Parliamentarian Hugh Brady.

... they are not interested in governing. Ruling, sure -- but not governing.

They have no use for democracy, and their poster children are insurrectionists.
