re: #176 GeneJockey

That’s how it’s starting to feel. The GOP came into this without a contingency plan. They had no plan beyond making a ridiculous demand. No fallback plan, no agreed-upon list of what they absolutely need in order to acquiesce. It’s just like Stutzman said - they don’t even know what they need to get out of it in order to not kill the hostage.

They’re making this up on the fly, and they don’t know what they’re doing.

The situation in the House makes me think so much of those action movies where the more sensible hostage takers are starting to have second thoughts about the plan, but the crazy fuckers with the guns are declaring that they’re gonna see this through to the end or they’re going to be the ones who get shot first.
