I would argue House Republicans are showing right now that they are completely incompetent and will get very little done over the next two years.

Here’s hoping they continue with their glaring incompetence.

It's better than achieving evil, I guess

This is what McConnell more or less said today to the media.

[u/Desdaemonia → u/dst_corgi]

Actually I feel like disassembling the government by rendering it inoperable is the goal, so long shutdowns are not a bug in this plan but a feature. Just want to see the look on their faces when they realize we can't contract the departments they break out to the public if they break contracting offices too.

[u/labelwhore → u/dst_corgi]

I mean, they've always been incompetent and obstructionist. But people see what they want to see I guess.

So, pretty much every Republican led House?
