2023 House vote for speaker

 
 
 
Okay, looks like Kev is in for the long haul as expected, pending any overnight changes. At what point will a few (6) Republicans decide to vote for the Democrat, just to bring a Congress into existence?

That would be sweet. Some MAGAtard heads would obviously explode.

That won't happen, but if this keeps up long enough (weeks, months) enough members of both parties may decide to agree on a compromise non-insane Republican candidate.

Damn good thing they pushed through the spending bill Jordan criticized. We may find out whether we really need a House of Representatives for anything else...
 
Just watched a clip of McCarthy addressing his lack of votes. The guy is complete phony. Another republican that thinks whatever he says people are supposed to believe.

If just one sane, brave enough republican votes for Jeffries that may entice others to do likewise.

This clownfest is making McConnell and the Senate look genius.
 
'We only need six to come over': Jim Clyburn thinks Dems could strike deal with GOP moderates on new Speaker
"I think there are enough on the other side, if we stay together as we are, we only need six of them to come over," he explained.

Clyburn then pointed to the number of Republicans who won in Biden-voting districts in 2022 as potential targets to build a consensus coalition around a new House Speaker candidate.

Is it okay to dream? No doubt if some sane republicans did this they would be punished, lose committees, etc. But it would be great if it happened.
 
I was surprised to see a photo of AOC just casually chatting up Florida GOP rep Matt Gaetz and Arizona GOP rep Paul Gosar as if they weren’t both treasonous insane fascists (one of whom who was censured for his Photoshopped image of, ummm, himself murdering AOC.)
I understand the need to do business, but in her place I would never even acknowledge either one of those clowns personally.
(Apparently, the kiddie-fucker and the white supremacist imbecile wanted insight into the Dem’s emerging strategy going forward, according to AOC’s office.)

Is “Fuck both of you freaks” a strategy?
 
Six Democrats willing to vote for the guy that tried to jettison the 2020 election?! Less likely than enough Republicans to help elect Jeffries.

It is worth noting that AOC was a bartender in New York City before being elected to Congress. I'm sure she has extensive experience dealing with creeps and men twice her age who secretly want to get into her pants but would never admit it to their white supremacist friends.

The endgame boss has taken it's final form.

Just about 42 years ago, Ronald Reagan said "government is not the solution to your problems. Government IS the problem."

He said this on the first day of his government job.

Today's shenanigans are the culmination of that decades long project. The GOP has proven conclusively that they're not just the party of "the government is bad," but they've reached the point where they can't even accomplish the first item on the agenda of their first day in control (and I use that term loosely) of the House of Representatives.

It is astonishing to watch. Not only can they not settle on a leader, but the people leading the argument are a Congressman implicated in a sex-trafficking case (Gaetz), a Congressman involved in covering up sexual assault of minors (Gym Jordan), a Congressman who shares white supremacist tweets and has his entire family saying "our brother is a fascist" (Gosar) and on the sidelines are the QAnon queen (Greene), the GED-bearing gun-toting low-rent Hooter's waitress (Boebert), and they're "all in" on making damned sure government can't even open their doors for business.

It goes beyond sedition. The "leading" Republicans in the House are the cliche' pyromaniacs volunteering to be firefighters.
 
A troop of shrieking purple assed baboons, the lot of them. The next two years may prove to one and all that the GOP is utterly incompetent. I dread 2024 with the senate being tough for Democrats. And DeSantis running.

Why are you progs so obsessed with pretending that anybody wants to get into her pants?

The last thirty five years failed to achieve such a proof, but yeah, why not.

We will need a new word other than mere incompetence. Something that combines incompetence with malice, malignance, and militantly stupidity.

She’s clearly too old for Gaetz.

You need to look up the word obsessed and perhaps invest in a mirror.
