Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

[ll74]

"Jim Jordan is an effective legislator" - McCarthy

That's the funniest shit I've heard all week. No legislation passed committee much less voted on. And he can't even whip enough votes from his own party.

Jfc, that opening statement says everything you need to know about the seriousness of the party

Katherine Clark isn't mincing words...

That was a great nominating speech.

 

[RoryN]

...and, once again, Jordan is officially toast.

Republicans aren't governing. What a shit show for them.

It's almost as if Jordan isn't an effective legislator.

 

[RoryN]

Starting to look like a slaughter...

Wish they had a graphic for changed votes from previous.

 

[RoryN]

Me too.

CNN suggested that McCarthy is behind pushing Jordan to keep trying. So, if that's the case, what is this - a MAGA effort to destroy the party?

 

[jomar]

Lol, he lost 3 more votes than the last count so far

 

[RoryN]

The new speaker ceremony could include a knock on the speaker's head or crotch with the gavel, to make an appropriate initiation for the job.

Was that supposed to be clever or funny?

 

[ll74]

Jeffries lost two votes?

 

[ll74]

The freedom caucus is offering to be removed from the conference and censured in exchange for a Jordan vote

 

[ll74]

The last caller on C-SPAN apparently thinks Jesus will come through for Jordan.

Exciting, if true.

Fucking Jesus.....you had one thing.....

 

[ll74]

Lol....this is Florida's best

I think two dems were absent for today’s vote

 

[Dribble]

The path forward has been determined...with the 8 accepting censure and removal of the rule that allowed this to happen...all they have to do is vote for McCarthy and it is over.

That's not what they are accepting.

 

[Dribble]

Watch and learn.

You never learn. The Republicans will never work with Democrats again. Ever. Jeffries destroyed any future bipartisan legislation. So that means the votes must come from in conference. If every other member was on board...what choice do they have? This is the way out. There is no way those voting against Jordan will flip for the same reason to begin with. McCarthy will be re-instated with a unanimous Republican vote

Histrionics are fun.

I never said anyone would flip.

 

[AlexBailey]

When asked about the death threats MAGAs have leveled against GOP reps who voted against him, Jim Jordan said “….no American should accost another for their beliefs … Stop. It’s abhorrent.”

Of course the word “abhorrent” is a synonym for “deplorable.”

 

[RoryN]

The Republican rep from South Dakota tried to blame it all on Dems a few minutes ago.

That dog won't hunt. I should know - I'm one.

 

[Dribble]

Jordan accepts the results of the latest secret conference vote. He lost. He will not run again

See how politics work ll74?

Next they will confront the 8 traitors and pull them into step. Then they will nominate McCarthy. He will win by all Republican votes. Unanimously. New rules will be established...and there will never be another bipartisan piece of legislation ever again

So...back to 17 days ago...how has this benefited Democrats?

I know how politics work.

You misrepresented what Gaetz said and your misrepresented what I said. You're a great politician.

You still think them voting for McCarthy wouldve benefited Democrats in some way, which is absolutely hilarious no matter how many times you say it.

And you missed how this entire thing has absolutely benefited Democrats.

But please, continue to tell me how things are.....I'm really interested

No...I took what he said...and extrapolated the next move. It comes from having people I know inside working through this
