Traitor, pervert, sex offender
Let’s play a game: does this describe three GOP reps, or one GOP rep?
Only three?
Most GOP reps?
Yes.
Enough about Trump.
You’re going to have to be more specific. That sadly doesn’t narrow it down much.
John le Carré really went off the rails with his later books huh?
What a fucking pedofilic treasonous loser.
14 more to go to break McCarthy’s record.
This time they don’t have the shitlicking wannabe propaganda minister Cucker Tarlson weighing in and putting his thumb on the scale in favor of the Qult45 candidate.
Oh wow, I’d forgotten all about that guy
That Trump endorsement sure is powerful.
Important points:
- Yesterday, Jordan received 200 of the necessary 217 votes.
- Today, Jordan received 199 of the necessary 217 votes.
- Some of the people who didn’t vote for Jordan yesterday voted for him today; some of the people who voted for Jordan yesterday didn’t vote for him today.
- Ha ha
That last point is the most important
Some of the people who didn’t vote for Jordan yesterday voted for him today; some of the people who voted for Jordan yesterday didn’t vote for him today.
That’s amazing.
Gymbo is a winner in the meme game. His pissed off face in the first loss will be used for a meme template for the next decade.
What a piss baby. Just like Greg Abbott
Link to image? I can’t seem to find it.
Those are some sour ass looking grapes.
My personal favorite picture from that fiasco was AOC’s ear-to-ear mischevious grin.
Please drop out, Jordan. You don’t belong anywhere near the levers of power.

Trump has made everything better. You’re simply salty.

Don’t worry Jim, I’ve heard that the 15th try is the charm.
It’s absurd that we require a majority vote for house speaker. It should be as simple as whoever gets the most votes. Or you have to vote for A or B for your vote to even be counted. None of this “present” nonsense.
212 vs 199, ok Hakeem Jeffries wins.
That’d be a waste of time. The Republicans would use their majority to immediately dismiss him.
perhaps a period of immunity then. Prime Ministers in the UK get a year of immunity if they win a no confidence vote
The speaker isn’t a job laid out in law other than being listed as 3rd in succession. It exists at the acceptance of some rules adopted by a majority of the house. Those rules could just as well not include any speaker, it could call for everyone to dress as a banana on Tuesday.
That implies your government is functioning as it is meant to. Here in the US, it’s not. It’s just not.
Majority vote would lead to even more deadlocks and partisanship
Most likely, this would make the Republicans vote for whoever their candidate is, rather than a minority Democrat winner.
Not saying I disagree with you per se. I had the same thought when reading this news.
The current system was probably designed to promote compromise, even across party lines. But we all know how well that’s working out these days.
Plurality voting is one of the best systems if your goal is to elect someone that most people don’t want.
This!
Have two+ really good candidates and an awful one with niche appeal.
Guess who plurality gives the awful one a great chance at winning.
This is such a bad idea. Do you think people would vote the exact same way if this was how it works instead?
At this point the only way out of this is for independents to not vote for Republicans but vote for Democrats instead.
At the moment there are no independent representatives in the House. We have two vacancies, but it’s one Democrat and one Republican.
If you mean in the long run, at the next election, sure; but we can’t wait that long for this mess to be sorted out.

Actually, I was speaking about independent voters, not members of the House or Senate.
Kek. The US Republican can’t stop shooting itself in the foot, even as its Israeli ally is crying for help. If I am Netanyahu, I’ll get new allies.
Don’t think Israel needs any help.
… except for the annual aid they already get from the US?
What % of Israel’s budget do you think the US gives them?
Of that % how much do you think is tied to purchases of American weapons?
Apparently the US gives military grants that amount to about 16% of Israel’s total military budget. That’s kind of a lot, if I’m reading it correctly.
IIRC it’s a bit less than that, something like 3b of 36b.
To allow the US easy access to intelligence, operational bases and feeding the military industrial complex, that’s really not a ton of cash for the US…
In the massacre? No. In general? Its kinda their meal ticket
LMAO
I had guessed that he’d get fewer votes partially as a meme but it actually happened!
At this point I think the Israel conflict is going to force enough House Republicans to elect Jeffries so they can react to the situation and potentially give aid.
“Republican infighting causing dysfunctional House prevents aid to Israel after Hamas attack” is not a headline that I think even their voters want to see.
