October is offering up indications of its usual bumpy financial ride (what is it about October and market fluctuations?). But this year there is the added, troubling dynamic of a Republican Party that seems insistent on self-immolation.
They hold a slim majority in the House, yet there is little indication they are serious about responsible governance. I am fearful that the people with the loudest voices are not at all concerned with clear-headed, rational leadership. Their agenda seems to consist of nothing more than fomenting chaos. Or maybe this is all they’re capable of. Maybe chaos is the point.
It’s a mind-blowing situation, evoking all sorts of questions, like “Who’s the next Speaker, and will s/he be as compromised as Kevin McCarthy, or just another contrary loose cannon with no interest in accomplishing anything constructive and helpful?”
It’s disheartening, and hard to watch, because we really don’t have time for this incompetence and failure of character.
Stop trying to imitate Donald Trump, and get your shit together.
