CyborgSage00x0 10/17/23 3:23:41 PM #201:	Tyranthraxus posted... It only takes 4 backstabs to give Jeffries a majority by the way. That ironically seems like the path of least resistance. I imagine whatever 4+ did would need to do so all at once, and end it in a fell swoop. 1 getting out of line would be jumped on quickly. RchHomieQuanChi posted... Despite their blatant power grabs, nothing scares Repubs more than actually having to govern This. I forget the name, but an ex-GOP Congressman this week went on the network news and said the GOP prefers to be the minority, so they can say "No!" and yell and cry. They don't want to govern. They don't know how. Their entire identity, and the reason anyone votes for them, is to "own the libs", and air fabricated grievances. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:976709969] in House Spea...
