do or die Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Having a House majority, but unable to elect a Speaker.......a new level of incompetence.
bustamente Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 McCarthy is unlikeable talks out of both sides of his mouth has Trumps name tattooed on his ass and the DOJ might be coming after him
HardCoreBlue Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 These buffoons truly think they are warriors, visionaries, everyone else who don't think the way they do are blinded to the 'truth'. These buffoons are very articulate at speaking dumb.

Maybe the Democrats decide the vote for the Republicans but if I'm them I sit back and let the Republicans look like fools

Maybe the Democrats decide the vote for the Republicans but if I'm them I sit back and let the Republicans look like fools Dems could just ride it out and maybe some hard core Republicans vote “present” which reduces the number need for the majority. If 11 of the 19 GOP holdouts vote that way Jeffries could actually win with his 212 votes. At least one GOP voter is prepared to let that happen just to make sure McCarthy never gets voted in
TrueBlue4ever Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Speculation is that Jim Jordan’s support could grow in the 3rd ballot. So between him and McCarthy (if those are the only two choices) who would Dems rather see? Jordan doesn’t want it because he wants to head the Judiciary committee. Quite possibly to muzzle investigations against himself since his bid for a pardon failed.

do or die Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Early on, Jordan has 8 votes. So there will be a 4th ballot... 🤣
Tracker Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Donald Trump Jr. Gets Holy Hell Over Bible Fundraiser Video. Donald Trump Jr. is selling Bibles on social media. The eldest son of Donald Trump was accused of “peak grift” over a video promoting a “We The People” Bible. The Trump scion said the book defended America’s “Judeo-Christian” values, which he claimed are under attack. It comes as key evangelical figures turn their backs on the former president, who has launched a third run for the White House amid a slew of criminal investigations into his conduct. Twitter account PatriotTakes shared the clip of Trump Jr. online last week. It went viral for the wrong reasons on Monday after being retweeted by outgoing Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a fierce critic of the ex-president and his administration, among others. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-jr-promotion_n_63b3d6a6e4b0cbfd55e3977a
TrueBlue4ever Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Jordan gets a 20th vote on the 3rd ballot with votes still to come in. Support for McCarthy now eroding.
Tracker Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 On 2023-01-01 at 4:58 PM, Tracker said: Too late! A good deal of the GOP is already radicalized. Some of them were there but latent, and others gravitated to the party when Trump ascended to the leadership. As has happened in Canada, this has and will continue to cause a rift in the right wing which will cause a formal split, then two solitudes, then a shotgun marriage when they get tired of being out of power, but it will be an uneasy union at best. Aaaand...away we go.... Moderate House GOP May Bolt And Form ‘Coalition Government’ With Democrats The conversations have started on a potential House government between moderate Republicans and Democrats if the House GOP can’t get it together. It would just take six House Republicans who decide they don’t want to live in crazy land for the next two years for a coalition majority to happen. It is important to note that these conversations are not originating with Democratic House leadership. This is something moderates are starting to rumble about and kick around. https://www.politicususa.com/2023/01/03/moderate-gop-coalition-house-of-representatives.html
