Eeeeeyup.

The meltdown could happen earlier than the expected September time frame when the debt ceiling limit is reached and needs to be raised. Any other spending requirement (emergency relief for a domestic disaster? a new military aid package for Ukraine if Putin escalates into a greater, wider war?) that triggers any of the six core alt-reality Representatives to trigger a no-confidence boat can trigger paralysis if four decide to stick together and withhold their vote from a "mainstream" Republican alternative.

As I mentioned in this post watchingtheherd.blogspot.com - Magic moments of danger on my blog, the real danger is not that we've discovered some weird parliamentary "magic moment" that can unexpectedly imperil the functioning of government. The danger is that we have actors within the core of our democratic systems who are hellbent on FINDING these idiosyncratic vulnerabilities in our systems then continually exploiting them to simply paralyze the system and the entire country. The agenda is not for policies, the agenda is solely for chaos.
