Anyone that can’t do that is a POS.

Hopefully we can provide support without having a Speaker in place via other mechanisms since the GOP is having internal issues.

Yeah.  But condemning massacres of babies and raping of grandmothers ain’t one of them. It’s so easy MTG can do it.

Why do you keep repeating this like it's some kind of gotcha.  Do you really dems would say it's ok to massacre babies and rape grandmothers?

What happened to make you such a miserable person with such a horrible opinion of so many of your fellow americans?

Scary.

It seems easy to say Hamas is a terrorist organization, they have murdered hundreds of innocents and these actions are going to draw a response and unfold in unimaginable ways. 

There are also legitimate questions that can be asked about how Israel fights this war and those questions should be raised.

In any case…get your shet together House republicans. You look like a bunch of focking idiots.

Not anymore. Great job by the real Rs. That guy was a terrible idea. Jordan is better even though his hearings are weak all talk no action, dickdances.

The speaker needs to say close the border, get fauci & the covid crimials, release the j6 tapes and fock the ukraine among other things.

No, he doesn't.  That is letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.  He needs to get enough consensus on important issues to move the needle a little bit at a time.

I'm waiting for the vindictive little whiny biotch "real Rs" to vote down someone like Scalise and end up with a Dem speaker, behind whom the Democrat party will give all of their votes and support.  Because they understand how to win.

I guess a good start to change would be to stop hanging around here 24 x 7.  You're surrounded by fellow Trump loving, CT, low IQ individuals.

It's definitely an interesting and challenging spot for the Rs to be in.

Looking forward to the outcome.

Anyone paying attention knows what I’m talking about when I say even MTG can condemn slaughtering babies, as opposed to some democrats. You obviously don’t. Perhaps you ought to watch or read some news.

Anyone not capable of condemning these terrorists is pretty wild to me and this is happening with some Dems in the House?Yeah I think that is gross. I’d have to read how they justify not doing that, but I don’t see how you can’t do that and then go on to raise concerns about the Palestine / Israel history if this is your POV.

Is this what you are wound up about?

Well, I’d be more concerned that a congressperson decided to have a Palestine flag outside her office and then wouldn’t condemn the slaughter of babies when asked than some former class Presidents trying to decide who they want to elect. Then again, you don’t like elections.

Conservatives are so unsophisticated and so uneducated these days they're painful to watch.

There's a reason that blue counties produce 70% of the GDP in this country despite being outnumbered by red counties 5 to 1.

I'd be embarrassed to be a conservative these days.  You're associating yourself with the least this country has to offer.

I wouldn’t go that far but I’d be embarrassed by this act they have going on in the House and of course that a sizable portion of them are cucked by Trump.

Won't happen-each R can vote for themselves and all the D's vote for Hakeem Jeffries, he still doesn't have a majority of the votes present.  Worst case scenario for the R's, they don't agree and paralyze congress for long stretches arguing and then electing temporary speakers. 

It's not a good look.

Steve Scalise quits speaker race

Republicans are confronting a deepening leadership crisis that has left the House paralyzed with no clear path to elect a new speaker, after an effort to replace Kevin McCarthy following his historic ouster was derailed by entrenched opposition and deep divisions within the party.

By failing to coalesce behind a candidate, Republicans have plunged the House into uncharted territory and effectively frozen the chamber at a time when major international and domestic crises loom, from Israel’s war against Hamas to a potential government shutdown in mid-November.

As House Republicans struggle to govern, the party suffered another black eye Thursday evening when Majority Leader Steve Scalise abruptly withdrew from the speaker’s race amid hardened opposition from more than a dozen holdouts. The problem for the House GOP is that it’s not clear anyone can lock down the 217 votes needed to win the gavel, raising questions over how and when the standoff over the speakership will last and at what cost.

Tensions are boiling over among House Republicans frustrated at the impasse and concerned over the path forward.

Republican Rep. Mark Alford of Missouri told reporters after Scalise’s exit from the race Thursday evening that one lawmaker had remarked: “‘You know, you could put Jesus Christ up for speaker of the House and he still wouldn’t get 217.’”

 

Anyone who saw that coming should buy lottery tickets.
