SciF- and conservative-bashing. How come I am only now finding this guy?
Jordan falling short in vote #2. Shocker.
Vote ongoing, but Jordan on pace to get fewer votes than yesterday. Why do they keep going through this process when they know they donāt have the numbers?
Given an extra day to work on making more people like him, Jordan gets more people not to like him. He dropped from 200 to 199 votes. If he gets put forward again, itāll be equal parts sad and laughable.
Reminds me of the line about De Santis:
There are people who think that Ron De Santis is a viable candidate for president, and there are people who have met Ron De Santis.
Wow, what an idiot. Biden is no more than a sock puppet being propped up by Democrats (Obama).
You donāt say?
House goes into recess, because voting is exhausting.
I hope during recess they get to go play on the teeter totters.

Juice boxes all round.
This is the worse legislative branch clusterfuck since - the 1850s. I might be wrong, but I canāt think of anything since the āCaning of Sumnerā that has been as mean, disruptive, and damaging to our Republic.
Bring back the Whigs!

McCarthy is still telling anyone who will listen that this is the fault of Democrats. Unfortunately for McCarthy, even Fox News has stopped listening to him.
Itās going to be hard for Republicans to fix the problem when they have no fucking clue what it is. To wit, Jordan is expected to be re-re-nominated for another round of voting.
While all this GOP micro-dick stomping is amusing, itās not long before the House will need to pass a funding bill. All I can see for now is them blundering right into a government shut-down of which there will be no end.

Boy, this is getting tough to watch. Can you imagine what this man would be like near the end of another 4 year term?
Iāve stopped being amused. This happens when an entire political party had degenerated into an authoritarian cult of personality and there are no uniting or organizing principles. We have a Speaker ousted for actually trying, however feebly, to actually legislate, which is the Speakerās job. They canāt unify now, like every majority party has for all of U.S. history, because they donāt want to build anything, they only want to destroy.

I heard they were also voting on a resolution to grant the acting stooge more power to put some bills forward. Did that fail also?
They didnāt vote on that. Jordan still adamant that heāll be on the next ballot so, if elevating (snigger) McHenryās status is on the cards, it seems theyāre going to have one more round of Gym Jordan bitch-slapping at least before they try it.
I can see the Dems going for the McHenry ploy, but only when closer to the shutdown and only to allow them to keep the govt open. No reason otherwise to unhoist the GOP from its own petard.
Iām just glad we donāt have an old demented crazy drunk like Pelosi in as speaker. She might have been the worst the country has ever had. Good riddance to that crazy treasonous bitch.
This seems cruel.
Pass the popcorn.
