Speaker of the House discussion

[Hardcore troubadour 15,207]

The crew that thinks defunding the police won’t result in more crime is talking about dysfunction. Sad.  

[thegeneral 3,093]

The crew that can’t pick a Speaker with a. majority thinks they can govern

[Hardcore troubadour 15,207]

The unoriginal crew that thinks giving money to Hamas is a good idea is talking about dysfunction.  

[thegeneral 3,093]

Here’s your guy!

Looking like Jim out (for now…will grovel, arm twist, offer up gigs, etc in the meantime) and GOP will try and roll with the little dandy, McHenry.

Problem is they need some Dems to go along with it because of MTG and Matt Gaetz types…Dems want some guarantees with budget and no crazy election denier BS.

This seems doable.

This is like the time Trump shut down the government and then surrendered to Nancy Pelosi a month later having gained nothing. So typical of these guys. They give in even on the stuff they claim to believe in. No cojones. That’s why you can’t ever trust them to be in power. Every good accomplishment in the last 20 years in this country has been done by Democrats.

Sad but true. Last two Republican presidents have been abysmal failures in so many ways. Republican Party would have been dead and buried by 2006 if it wasn't for Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and their respective clones. This party is so stupid and ineffectual that they make Dems look like world class leaders in comparison. Think for a minute how completely fukked up that is.

Totally right. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, the Democrats are the worst political party except for all the rest.

Fnord hitting us with those moderate takes he so famous for. What a clown.

So long as the border stays open the democrats and rinos will be happy.

Funny. Pretty sure I've never referred to myself as moderate, only independent. I lean left, obviously. But I've never voted straight ticket other than 2020.

Can you illuminate us all as to what the Republican Party is actually DOING about anything? They love to talk shlt about everything to the left of Ronald Reagan, who'd never survive a Republican primary today, but what do they GET DONE legislatively? Tax cuts for the wealthy. Nothing else.

You are representing your ineptitude quite well. 

[The Real timschochet 6,576]

Oops! Now they’ve changed their minds again they’re not surrendering! But they’re going to have another vote. Maybe. Maybe not. 

They are so inept they can’t agree to how inept they are.

Pretty weak...

Watching these clowns scurry around like baboons flinging crap at each other is awesome to watch.

The american people are getting a good look at what rule under republicans would look like.  Just like the disorganized, disinformation, no plan "governing" by the republicans in 2020 during covid.  Like children these people are.

If you can honestly say that since 2000 (honestly, even further back), that the Democrat party was better, then the only inept person here is you.

[zsasz 366]

It's good to see the Republicans come to their senses in regards to this; particularly Jim Jordan.  This Pat McHenry isn't perfect....he's a bit too far Right......but he's acceptable as the Speaker. Good job, Republicans!

This is hilarious. Kevin McCarthy, nominating Jim Jordan, just called him an “effective legislator” and “great at compromise”. The House burst out laughing and the chair had to call for order.

I edited the title again. Trying to keep it current. Although the current title is rather timeless as well.

He’s doing worse this time. This is so embarrassing.

Kind of glad that congress can’t do much. Let’s them push the impeachment inquiry right into the heart of election season. Slow walk this.

If they are so inept they can't even pick a Speaker, how can do an effective impeachment inquiry?

I find it hilarious that the Democrats in here - the same ones that elected trainwrecks like The Squad, Biden, Kamala and hundreds of other degenerates and truly awful people - have the audacity to come in here and point fingers. 

Clean up your own house first.  A dysfunctional Republican is 100x better than a Democrat on his BEST day.

We had no problem picking a Speaker and an effective one at that. Remember Nancy Pelosi?

You seem rather embarrassed. 
 

Both parties elect crazies. But Democrats don’t put them in positions of power. Disagree with Pelosi and Biden all you want, but the one thing you can’t deny is that they’ve been effective leaders. They get things done. Democrats don’t have people like Trump and Jim Jordan in charge.

Adam Schiff was in a position of lower. Continually lied to the country.  Also tried to get nude photos of Trump.  He’s not crazy at all. Maxine Waters CHAIRED the banking committee.

As a Republican and a Conservative, I am disgusted by all this.  A pox on all these houses.

The American political system is broken.  The Liberals/Democrats are absolute nut jobs, and the Republicans aren't much better.
