Yep. I guess it's a coin toss as to whether we get a government shutdown or another Speaker fight. Somehow I can see it being both. Not sure how lucky we'll be with getting the spending bills through, even with the continung resolution.

Shutting the government down has not just one, but TWO bad sides for Republicans- doing it right before an election (before CHRISTMAS, even) never works out for Republicans and the faux impeachment and Hunter Biden investigations will stop (nothing to run to Fox News about!)
And yet they keep using it as a cudgel and a threat. If they would simply work with the Democrats and compromise, I bet they would get more of their agenda accomplished, since the US tilts to the right. But that would be work and acceptance that the federal government has its uses.
