    An actual fistfight on the House floor would be a pretty sad state of affairs, and not at all something to be celebrated, yet part of me is kind of hoping to see it.

      Agreed, but what’s worse is the two Republican house members who went on the record in the article saying that they want to see it too.

      It’s happened before. I think someone got can caned over the push for freeing slaves in the 1800s before the civil war.

      we’ve already come pretty close to that in the Republican caucus once (back when McCarthy was still in hell and trying to become majority leader), so i’m not surprised to see the prospect continue to linger. there are clearly a ton of Republicans who just hate a lot of the people in their party.

      These are fascists looking to destroy America. If they turn on each other, their chances of success are greatly diminished.
