Two people look at the rubble that used to be The House of Representatives. Woman: The GOP finally got their chance to demonstrate their muscular foreign policy here at home.
To quote conservative pundit David Brooks:The House Republican caucus is close to ungovernable these days. How did this situation come about?This was not just the work of the Freedom Caucus or Ted Cruz or one month’s activity. The Republican Party’s capacity for effective self-governance degraded slowly, over the course of a long chain of rhetorical excesses, mental corruptions and philosophical betrayals. Basically, the party abandoned traditional conservatism for right-wing radicalism. Republicans came to see themselves as insurgents and revolutionaries, and every revolution tends toward anarchy and ends up devouring its own.

According to Ben Carson ISIS has an airforce. When he is president, it will be very interesting.

Not too prophetic, I hope. The House seems capable, and almost willing, to do the same to this country. (and then blame it on the Dems!)

Yes, they are practicing democracy which is messy instead of letting a few elites pick and choose the rulers.

House of? Not a single one of them is representative. All of them are a result of gerrymandering – legal theft of a vote.
Voting? if it is an incumbent, vote for the other. Get rid of them all.

Samson really brought down the house, using the jawbone of an elephant.
