What's up chis? Did you have a question or something lol@Scruddy not seeing you here?! Lol
Chime in here on the fact the GOP is an embarrassment, joke and can't governWhat's up chis? Did you have a question or something lol
They're an embarrassment bc they're going through the democratic process to determine who should be speaker? I hate on the gop a lot but in the scheme of things this seems fairly minimal. I am happy McCarthy got booted.Chime in here on the fact the GOP is an embarrassment, joke and can't govern
Oh no...he's trolling. Nobody sticks with an idiotic narrative for this long - even interjecting it when it's no longer relevant - without being a troll. He's a troll. And he's not good at it.I don’t think he’s a troll. Just a bit of a simpleton when it comes to understanding politics.
Another "good" Republican who apparently is now full of crap.
Did you actually listen to what he said?Another "good" Republican who apparently is now full of crap.
I just do not understand how they blame the Democrats for their own absolute f'n dysfunction. (I understand perfectly WHY they're doing it). The Dems can not fix what's wrong with the Republican party.
I’ll take “people who will win the MAGA primary, but get smoked in the 2024 general election for $200 Alex”.
Yep. The dems are to not vote for their dem candidate in favor of voting for persons who will not negotiate and haven't asked for help or offered anything to vote for.I just do not understand how they blame the Democrats for their own absolute f'n dysfunction. (I understand perfectly WHY they're doing it). The Dems can not fix what's wrong with the Republican party.
That's why they are throwing a fit. They expect the Dems to fix everything wrong with the country and then take credit for it. They want them to do the same thing for their party.I just do not understand how they blame the Democrats for their own absolute f'n dysfunction. (I understand perfectly WHY they're doing it). The Dems can not fix what's wrong with the Republican party.
How are the Dems supposed to stop this? How does them electing the GOP conductor who's going to do this anyway, fix anything?Yep. The dems are to not vote for their dem candidate in favor of voting for persons who will not negotiate and haven't asked for help or offered anything to vote for.
Did I get that right GIAHORT repubs?
What an a$$hole. If there wasn't two wars ongoing, Jordan wouldn't get a sniff at the speakership. Being the little weasel Jordan is, of course he's pressuring his collegues and abusing the situation abroad to try to sneak into the position. Damn, I hate that dude. I can't think of a worse person for Speaker outside MTG, Boobet and Gaetz. They are almost equally bad.
Peas in a pod.Anyone who can equate Donald Trump with Joe Biden is a f'n idiot.
Congratulations, f'n idiot.
Couldn't agree more.Citizens United.
End it
This says a lot and shows they really are useless.
@binsfeldcyhawk2Yep. The dems are to not vote for their dem candidate in favor of voting for persons who will not negotiate and haven't asked for help or offered anything to vote for.

Has nothing to do with 208 D's voting with the Gaetz crew to remove McCarthy.
Again. Why would Democrats support a speaker who refused to work with them? Who initiated an absolutely unfounded impeachment inquiry that isn’t supported by any evidence? Who supports a man for president who tried to overturn the election of President Biden? Why should Democrats support that man? He is literally the antithesis of what their party stands for.Has nothing to do with 208 D's voting with the Gaetz crew to remove McCarthy.
The current speaker votes are all on the R's and their dysfunction. Probably goes on for a while...great.
They didn't have to vote for him. Just not vote...would only take a dozen to not be in the current situation.Again. Why would Democrats support a speaker who refused to work with them?

If the Republicans want Democratic support they should have nominated someone who the Democrats can support.
So you want to give credit to McCarthy for doing what pretty much every other Speaker in history has done???They didn't have to vote for him. Just not vote...would only take a dozen to not be in the current situation.
I realize that letting the R's shoot themselves in the face and put their dysfunction on display made that possibility pretty remote.
As far as working with D's...
The president, who is running for re-election, noted other bipartisan bills he has signed and offered praise to McCarthy, the speaker of the House of Representatives, who was his primary negotiating partner.
Biden cheers debt ceiling 'crisis averted' from Oval Office
U.S. President Joe Biden declared a "crisis averted" on Friday in his first address from the White House's Oval Office, touting the passage of a bill to suspend the U.S. debt ceiling and avoid economic catastrophe.www.reuters.com
Don't think Joe will have occasion to say the same thing if the speaker ends up being Jim Jordan.
Not voting is the voting for him equivalent. Republicans in the House have done the absolute minimum necessary to keep a functioning government. The only other things they have done is to investigate Biden and democrats. They have no ideas. They have no thoughts for improving the country. When Democrats took over the house in 2019, they investigated trump, but they also passed bills that, at least in their minds, bettered America.They didn't have to vote for him. Just not vote...would only take a dozen to not be in the current situation.

No...just realize Jim Jordan is less likely to do that.So you want to give credit to McCarthy for doing what pretty much every other Speaker in history has done???

The 2022 version of the House is incapable of governing.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Democrats want a more moderate speaker and are hoping to force the hands of Republicans.True.
I'd rather have McCarthy in the seat at this moment than have the current shit show we have going on now.
Other than letting the R's shoot themselves in the face I'm not seeing the benefit from tossing McCarthy. Call me crazy.
And their investigation of Trump was predicated on factual information. He DID try to force a foreign leader to help his reelection campaign by withholding vital military aid. That the GOP is too chickenshit to take that seriously is exactly why they are where they are today. They have had every opportunity to cut out the cancer that's eating them alive and they have refused to do so. Fvck them.Not voting is the voting for him equivalent.

This. An example of them having the opportunity to govern and pissing on it.Perhaps, just perhaps, Democrats want a more moderate speaker and are hoping to force the hands of Republicans.
Fair enough.Perhaps, just perhaps, Democrats want a more moderate speaker and are hoping to force the hands of Republicans.
