Wait…the people voting against McCarthy are doing so…

Yes...but they are in control of the party now. Even the former "normal" Republicans will fall in line and vote with them. MTG is literally one of the most powerful people in America. That nut. Unbelievable the cowardice those party members have.
Anyone that voted for her is a huge piece of sh1t human
Honestly we are seeing significant flaws in the design of our election and government system. Basically a small group of radicals are able to wield an extraordinary amount of power.
We need an election method that provides better representation and that requires collaboration. Currently we are reduced to binary choices. The way to win in our system is to define oneself as an alternative to the opposition.

And repubs were giving dems shit about Manchin and Sinema. Ha! Ha! Ha!. Whose laughing now?
Jordan doesn't even want it. He knows his limitations. Legislative nuts and bolts are not in his skill set.
Said it numerous times...our Founding Fathers were so intent on tossing off anything that smacked of Great Britain that they invented an ultimately dysfunctional form of govt. Anyone who truly thinks a third party is the answer doesn't have a clue what they're talking about...our system has absolutely NO mechanism for a coalition govt.

Satire I hope.
This is the first time in 10 years that anything has been debated in Congress, not sure why anybody is complaining
Um, when the baseline foundational message for forty plus years has been, “no matter what, libs/Dems/Ds are worse” all of this makes perfect sense and I wouldn’t even call the people who vote for them “crazy” — foolishly and gullibly accepting of terrible, lazy, dim-brained, emotional-affirmation-fueling brainwashing, sure — but not “crazy”.
Now that I have no problem. I am enjoying watching the circular firing squad. My issue is that since Trump became a candidate, the word "conservative" has been co-opted and has had its meaning change. Trump is not now and never has been a conservative. Mitt Romney is a conservative. He also is a RINO now, which should be a badge of pride these days, because the current batch of Republicans are the sorriest lot of dung this country has ever seen.
There's no fvcking debate taking place. It's just vote after failed vote. The debate is taking place the same place it's always taken place where the role of Speaker is concerned...behind closed doors. And wouldn't I like to be a fly on THAT wall.
Hell, Liz Cheney...LIZ CHENEY!!!...is a RINO.
Can't argue with any of that. Now the "Never Trumpers" are witnessing a parallel "Never McCarthy's".
If they don't budge, how soon before they start looking for a non=member of Congress? Would LMAO if they chose Musk. That won't happen, obviously, but my popcorn bill for the month would be exorbitant.
He has no skill set except helping cover up the Ohio St scandal.
Who is complaining. Most of us are smirking with much glee.
Maybe this works better:
After today, you won't be able to accuse anyone of McCarthyism without them thinking you mean "subjecting yourself to repeated public embarrassment"
Satan would like many Dem positions. He'd actually be miserable for either party to bring aboard. Look no further than baby murder and border walls to find something he'd side with each party on. same answer I give when people say things like "Jesus would be a republican."
I'm fairly certain Jesus would not support a border wall, nor abortion, while Satan would support both in a heartbeat.
Why do they keep voting again? Shouldn't they go have some knock down drag out fights behind closed doors and come out with a nominee?
This seems like the definition of insanity.
It doesn't actually bother me, at this point it's pretty hilarious. It's not as if they're going to go accomplish much of anything significant anyway, so i guess let the show go on.

Jordan insists he doesn’t want the job.
Byron Donalds has been nominated.
I called MY congressman this morning and told him to grab that little twit Gaetz and stuff him in a broom closet somewhere.
This bunch are a larger but equally idiotic group who are the opposite of the Squad IMO.

LOL that’s Kat Cammack. From Putnam/Bradford /Alachua County. She is what I’d delicately call an ass kicker.
I think some dissent is good for democracy, showing they aren't simply rubber stamping some nominee who would inevitably see their position of power as a mandate, when it clearly is not.
But...after getting the same result about 3 times, it's time to shake things up...this went to SIX votes.

Ed all we R’s Need is a Nancy Pelosi who can threaten our side with death (political and otherwise) and we’d be done. We don’t have one of those.
She thought the were voting for McDonalds rather than Byron DonaldsHungry Hungry Hippo
So you think Jesus would be a republican? Sure he'd like lower taxes, pro life positions, positions on gay marriage and the fact that more Republicans believe he's the son of god, but I can nearly guarantee he'd be completely against military spending and border walls.
From what we know of Jesus, he'd almost certainly not take part in our political process, and seems not to recognize man made borders. For him, there's one people, god's people, and if we choose to label ourselves American, Mexican, Russian, etc. well then that's on us...

This person and MGT seem to think there are people personally sitting at a computer clicking on social media pages.
