Speaker of the House Vote Thread

[Anonymous]

HFC think they can use race to get GOP to vote for their candidate. What a joke.

Just started listening- who was this?

She accuses Ds of boozing it up in the chambers. Then smiles and declares the house is not in order. So on brand.

Literally the last time the Republicans controlled the House, the Benghazi panel had engraved wine glasses for Wine Wednesdays.

MAGA's ultimate goal isn't just to bring down the Democratic party; it's to bring down the entire system of government.

The moderate Rs were all primaried and lost. There aren't any anymore.

If only McCain was still alive, he'd have done that after watching this circus.

He's tough on crime, as long as he isn't on the receiving end

You made me look. From his wiki page:

In 1997, Donalds was arrested for marijuana distribution; the charges were dropped as part of a pre-trial diversion program. In 2000, he pleaded guilty to a felony bribery charge as part of a scheme to defraud a bank,[13] which was expunged after he entered the Florida House.

The R party let the [crazy] dogs out. Now, they can't control them. They unleashed their crazies onto this entire country.

So many of these clowns should not be in Congress — they should be in jail or home, after losing their elections or forced to resign or forbidden to hold office as insurrectionists etc etc. Therefore, here we are.

The Rs are being held hostage by the very people they should have silenced, criticized, demoted, marginalized, testified against, voted against. Instead MTG is the current defacto leader.

Except MTG is pro-KM! It's really interesting how the factions have fallen here.

She cut her own deal for a Committee assignment early on.

I think you're wrong. My relatives, who are all moderate/independent sometimes-voters in NC, have been texting me asking wtf is going on. The last time that happened was Jan 6th.

What is your position/occupation in DC?

I work in politics. They're totally uninterested in it. LOL

Bingo. It's on the news so they are interested. My family similarly texts me when things happen in my area of expertise,

I agree. But it's the opposite of the claim I was responding to. They do care.

Right. Because the House is usually so important and useful in those situations. (Eye roll)

DP. Don't be so obtuse, it is important to have a functioning government at all levels to address issues

With Republicans in charge it's not going to be functional with or without a speaker, let's be real.

+1 Every vote is going to be like this. On everything.
