Also, how is it possible that the R’s couldn’t come together and find a speaker who doesn’t kowtow to the former guy?

They’ve changed now that the clerk announced the vote tallies. And now we begin again.

Hilarious hearing Jim Jordan talking about passing legislation, something he has never done.

The gaslighting from the GOP about the state of our country is astounding.

I think it’s because the vote hasn’t been recorded yet.

And no Republicans come together around someone who doesn’t kowtow to the former guy. He’s their whole world.

Zero chance. I could see them banding with moderate republicans to choose a moderate democrat, but they aren't bailing out the republicans for the hell of it


It wouldn't be for the hell of it. It would be to get rules concessions that preserve some of their power.

The burn it all down/look at me caucus


10 for Biggs, 9 for other candidates. 212 Dems voted for Jeffries.

IF they end up voting for McCarthy, I think the American People deserve full transparency on what deal was made in order to get their votes.
