Got to admit, I'm surprised to see Republicans not voting in lockstep like I expected. I figured Democrats and liberals were more prone to idealism and in-fighting, thus why we can't ever get anything done, and why Obamacare barely squeaked by when the Dems controlled both houses and the White House.
I figured (worried) that Republicans would just swallow whatever imaginary principles they had and toe the line. Whatever agenda Trump would concoct would pass swiftly, coldly, and efficienctly. To see the same in-fighting take place within their party brings me a great deal of satisfaction. The Tea Party really is a runaway monster, isn't it? :evil: That the Donald is such a divisive figure probably doesn't help... although that probably doesn't make a difference. Republicans seemed to embrace him once it became apparent that they had to live with him.
In any case, this is also pretty lol:

Trump and Bannon are a couple of dumb sons-of-bitches that are finding that they can't throw their weight around. Good. Fuck'em. The Teapards stonewalled us for six fucking years, now they're your problem, assholes.
Also lol to grown men who refer to their fathers as "daddy".

Quote:When the balky hardliners of the House Freedom Caucus visited the White House earlier this week, this was Steve Bannon's opening line, according to people in the conference room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building:
"Guys, look. This is not a discussion. This is not a debate. You have no choice but to vote for this bill."
Bannon's point was: This is the Republican platform. You're the conservative wing of the Republican Party. But people in the room were put off by the dictatorial mindset.
One of the members replied: "You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old. And it was my daddy. And I didn't listen to him, either."
