In one fell swoop three defections – Florida maniac Anna Paulina Luna, Wyoming Senate hopeful Harriet “I am not George Santos” Hageman, and Arizonan white nationalist gubernatorial hopeful Andy Biggs – from the House GOP caucus’s Wednesday rule vote on extending FISA, the annual farm bill, and a budget resolution wiped out the most slapdick plans of mice and Mike Johnson.
There’s been a lot of coverage of dysfunction among House Republicans this week on the political news sites. To call it “news” is taking it too far however as the word by nature implies that dysfunction among House Republicans is not news. One could compare it to the wetness of the ocean and that only when a tsunami or hurricane inflicts said wetness upon what was typically dry does it become news. Then again this might simply be a slightly-above-normal high tide.
