Someone needs to help Icant figure out how to use this site.

This is a fucking disgrace. But hey at least they're not democrats right?

Cue Dribbs and "Becky", etc, obliviously and un-ironically agreeing with your obviously sarcastic barb.

Heather Thomas, the actress from The Fall Guy?

 

[ll74]

Quorum call complete. Nominations starting

 

[ll74]

Can't believe they're letting Stefanik do it after her shit speech on Jordan (wrestling and integrity were the main topic for that one )

Hes been here four years, you'd think he could at least use the basics....

 

[ll74]

Spoiler alert: they won't save America. They can't even save the House.

 

[butters]

it's deeply unsettling to see someone so maga likely to get the gavel but i'm weary of this shitshow

as for stefanik, i think she mistook some other white powder for sugar this morning in her coffee

Jeffries has set a record for the number of Nominations for Speaker, this year.

 

[Rightguide]

Take a breath and recall that in 1855 the House was without a Speaker for two months and it took 133 votes to install one.

He's a wild-ass Marxist in sheep's clothing.

That nominaion speech for the MAGAt was one for the ages - in the worst of ways. So embarrassing for this country.

The writing was just put on the wall for the House going forward. It's going to get very ugly...

 

[Dribble]

Gotta love it if an election denier wins huh? Such a well thought out plan for the Democrats

 

[butters]

if johnson wins, i guess that means mccarthy isn't going to be speaker, right?

Absolutely. Nothing could play better into their 2024 election messaging.

Lol...dude...you are dreaming. How about we come back to this after the Democrats lose the Senate and more seats in the House?

It does. And the Democrats fucked themselves. Watch and learn

It's not good. Don't need to be hyperbolic over it....we may need action from Congress to react to world events....we do need to pass the budget resolution already or possibly default.

He has the full support of the Democratic party. The Republicans will turn on their new guy before the end of the year.

 

[RoryN]

Lol...dude...you are dreaming.

I'm not the only one with that opinion.

What you meant to say is, "everyone else is dreaming", right? Haven't you been professing to be the smartest political pundit here?

The vote is 220 to 209. The Republicans have a new speaker. An inexperienced 'clean-slate' individual who believes Trump won the 2020 election and was a key player in the attempt to invalidate the January 6th certification results. Let's see how this plays out with the weight of the legal battles surrounding D. Trump and associates over RICO charges and other matters.

You still refuse to understand that this chaos would've happened regardless of how Democrats voted. Gaetz would've voted again to vacate until he got his way.

And they'll blame it on Democrats just as you continue to do.

The rest of us are the reality of the shit show that is the Republican party and will look to use it against them next year as much as possible.

I doubt he makes it to the New Year.

and yet you were the one insisting that mccarthy would be the one in the speaker seat, or did i get that wrong?

oh look, i wasn't wrong. hope you're watching and learning, dribble.
post 685, by dribble:

Once they ask...we should. Because we helped facilitate this clusterfuck knowing how dysfunctional the Republicans are and still sided with 8 traitors.

Emmer won't get the votes. There is only one path out of this. Same as I have been saying for 3 weeks. McCarthy. It will take a dozen Democrats to do the right thing
