I legit don't understand how this dumb fukk managed to go BACKWARDS.

I’m assuming No but is there a chance a few republicans spoil the vote and go Dem so Hakeem actually wins?

No. It’s probably going to end up being a Non MAGA Republican who will compromise with Dems to push a moderate/vanilla agenda.

Great strategy. Surely pressuring the wives/spouses of people in congress is going to sway them and not completely backfire at all.

You do that to me, I'm calling a press conference endorsing Jeffries and shytting on you to the press. Then I'm knocking on your office door and we gonna have a chat

Ended up with more No votes than McCarthy ever had at any point across all 15 rounds of voting.

House Speaker Election: Jordan Loses 2nd Vote for Speaker as House Scrambles for Path Forward

Jim Jordan, a hard-right Ohio Republican, failed again to gain enough support from his party to become speaker. The House remains leaderless after two weeks of Republican infighting.

Can they hold failed votes indefinitely?

The Trump years were horrible, they can't elect a speaker, they refuse to pass a budget, and they do everything possible to dismantle a proper functional government and posters in HL continue to advocate for Republican rule. Unreal.


I also learned this week that not only have the Republicans been blocking military promotions and appointments but also ambassadorships. Israel doesn't even have an ambassador right now.

 

[jerniebert]

Blame the democrats.
