I'm surprised that this hasn't been posted yet. It seems like a pretty big deal (or at the very least, amusing to see Jeb flailing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe9CUl6pf_E Good on Jake Tapper for not letting Jeb slither away.

Jim Webb as Speaker. He was even a former Republican, so there's crossover appeal.

If Centrist Republicans join with Democrats to elect a coalition speaker, many of those Centrist Republicans, god bless them, would likely be voted out of office in the primary, which would greatly increase the chance for a Democrat to win that office. in other words the chance that Democrats could win more seats would actually go up. Still highly unlikely, but here's hoping.

I got a FB post from a crazy family member today pumping up a story about freshman rep ryan zinke running for speaker saying he was going to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic, including Obama. I Google his name and under news was a story about him thinking about running and another saying "zinke too liberal."

It seems like a pretty big deal (or at the very least, amusing to see Jeb flailing): I love that he doesn't get the cognitive dissonance that he's putting out there. My only complaint is that Tapper didn't just flat out say "Your brother should have been concerned with safety and threats he had knowledge of."

The other thing they could be doing is threatening this in the hopes of scaring Tea Partiers back into line - give them a choice of "Speaker McCarthy or Speaker Conservative Democrat". Probably wouldn't work, but they could be trying.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:http://thehill.com/homenews/house/257167-gop-disarray-has-some-republicans-talking-about-dealing-with-dems I've seen a ton of coverage of the Speaker choice and there's always a comment that Ryan is the only one worth considering. Why is it never mentioned that there's almost 250 Republicans in the House and they can only find one worth leading? The left will make fun of that, sure, but it seems like a relevant point for even the normal media to make.

On Terra Firma posted:I have some relatives who are very well off and while they do cut donation checks, they also spend a shitload of time volunteering for various organizations throughout the year because they're retired. Just seems a little dumb to say "kill all rich people" when those people aren't taken into account. Unless they are like the .1% "I own several politicians" Koch levels rich they aren't the rich most people are talking about in this rhetoric.

Unfortunately the GOP is about 100x more likely to compromise or capitulate to the tea party wing before they do so to the Democratic party.

There's a difference between wealthy and rich. When people talk about eat the rich. What they mean is eat the wealthy. I think it was Chris Rock " Shaq is Rich, the man who signs his check is Wealthy" Hollismason fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Oct 19, 2015 |

BREAKING NEWS: 30 Republicans break ranks and join democratic party, Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House once again. Her first act is to tie Boehner to the presiding officer's chair and break his legs with the Speaker's gavel forcing him to gaze forever upon what he had wrought.
