Scalise is out So does Jordan win by being the last man standing or does a new candidate emerge? If Scalise couldn't find the votes, I doubt Jordan can either.

For those of you counting at home, the person with the most committed votes for speaker is Jeffries (D-NY) with 212 Its a cult I tell ya ........ They all vote the same ....... How about the Republicans nominate someone who isn't a Trump butt-licking cultist that Dems can get behind???

Drinking the blue kool-ade ...... Nah I only reserve the C-word for when it is justified, like the MAGA cult or for people who cannot bring themselves to criticize the guy they voted for and will lie, deflect and defend every single thing they ever said or did.

Insurrection supporter and Trump bootlicker giving it another shot. And likely to be embroiled in OSU sex scandal in the near future. I'm kinda a fan of the little bowtie guy. He has exceptional gaveling skills. Something to build on.

To you ........ To anyone with a pair of working eyes and a brain. This stems from the mindless fealty to Trump. When a group has a leader who demands total loyalty, it retards the leadership qualities in group members. Suspect the Dems will bail them out, for a price.

But I do think it will end up being some compromise candidate like him.

Was it his idea to kick Pelosi et al out of their offices, or was he just following orders?

Looks like Jim Jordan has secured 124 votes which gives him the majority of GOP members but is far short of the 217 he needs to become speaker.
Also interesting to consider that a majority of the GOP House thinks that a guy accused of covering up sexual harassment of high school wrestlers should be 2nd in line to the presidency.
Correction - 152 is what I am now hearing

He doesn't look well. I'm sure his blood cancer plays into it. He used to be a nasty looking f. Now he's popeyed, moonfaced and frightened looking. We are so doomed. American politics resembles a rehab facility.

The Republican party is currently a great big fluster cluck. I would not care except that I am so very tired of this clown car. There are very decent, good people in the party, but they are overshadowed by the mouths. I really need them to straighten their spines and fix their crap.
