Republicans in Disarray

[Bob Juch]

They should elect someone who exemplifies Republican values: George Santos.

So why hasn't anyone suggested Trump as Speaker? There's no requirement that the Speaker be a member of Congress.

Matt Gaetz voted for Trump on the last ballot.

Careful of that psychic power…

I feel bad for new members’ families, dressed up and waiting for the swearing in ceremony. Get your act together!

You would think the Republicans would want to get this resolved as quickly as possible so they can get to their top priority these next two years...

Investigating Hunter Biden.

Better that then spending their time trying to get Twitter to suspend people they don't like, the way Schiff, et al have spent the last six or so years.

No normal person cares what Gaetz does.

That's why he's an important figure in today's Republican party.

No. It won't work.

Round 11 coming up.

The absolute best part of this is watching Gym Jordon having to wear a jacket for three days lol.

Time to call on the ultimate deal maker:

Oh, wow congratulate yourselves -Democrats are good little soldiers who march in lockstep. Simple Unthinking Drones.

Many times people here have quoted Will Rogers with pride on being a Democrat.

>>>"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."<<<<

If that was ever true-it certainly doesn't apply anymore-and obviously applies more to the Republicans today.

It is weird how the block of 20 are NOT unthinking drones, even though they are acting in unison, over one concern - but everyone else. Go figure.

That might be more credible if anyone had a clue what the rebels actually want (other than to figuratively burn the House down). They seem to be bound and determined to cripple our national defense, stand aside to allow Russian aggression to pay off, and hold as a hostage the good faith and credit of the United States.

And the thing is that none of these views are shared by a majority of the country, or of the House, yet they're doing their level best to be sure they'll be in position to impose those views anyway. In short, the most radical faction of the Republican Party is trying to get the rest of the Party to cave in to its demands, and McCarthy's personal ambition is so overwhelming that he will probably encourage them to do so if it means he gets to grip the Speaker's gavel, even for a minute and a half. --Bob

SSS>>>"Just wait till you see what happens when the Republicans try to do any legislating. The only thing they seem to be capable of is launching bunches of investigations into Hunter Biden and his laptop."<<<<

ROFLMAO.

Says the man whose fondest wish is to see Trump frog-marched in cuffs and who missed (as did his party) the first few crucial weeks of Covid because of TRUMP!!!!TRUMP!!!!!!!TRUMP!!!!!!!

Tell that to Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema.

Democrats have differences, and they may well have had differences in the votes for their new leadership positions. The difference is that they worked those differences out among themselves before presenting a united front to the public.

And considering that the Democratic position on most issues (abortion, tighter gun control) is in line with the majority of the public, it's the Democratic party that is representing the public will.

The 1988 Baltimore Orioles came out of the blocks 0 for 21, so 0 for 12 is really just warming up.

[tlynn78]

Nah, we're all good.

[Weyoun]

Important win for The Swamp.

Matty Gaetz, who’s a dumbass but married into the Oculus Rift fortune, is tribune.
