Dumb question I'm sure, why don't these Republicans like Kevin? They all seem like corrupt shitbags... I thought they just made sure they were in the same party. And with Trump saying to support him why isn't that working?

They have an opportunity to grandstand

That's literally it. These people are treasonous assholes elected for the sole purpose of destroying the republic, and in order to keep that grift going they need to keep visibly vandalizing democracy.

Wow! My Big Mac (berder) only had one "pickle" on it today! How has Biden allowed THIS to happen? A "sure sign" that he is DELIBERATELY destroying the Nation! The Republicans (under MY guidance) will ensure two (or more!) Pickles on every berder and SAVE AMERICA!

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.


So the reason the dissenters are anti-McCarthy is based on actual policies? i.e. they want certain things, and he wants others?

I thought it was just vague CHUD nonsense as in "McCarthy is a RINO! He is a socialist! He personally didn't get Trump re-inserted into the presidency! Boo to him, and him specifically!"

But if there is specific policy type stuff they want, then a negotiation is a way for both sides to maybe salvage a little face. i.e. they can just spin it as a robust discussion, or that they are the party of negotiation and compromise, even internally, (wheras the Dems are authoritarian partisan ideologues who put party above country etc.) It would be a pretty big spin, and even then wouldn't hide the fact that they have had 7+ votes and couldn't agree.

Because surely this is the biggest gift to the Democrats. Come the next election all they have to say is "Republicans had control of the house, and it took them more than 2 full sitting days to even decide onm a Speaker. Are you going to let them govern?"

Yeah if literally everything that happens is the most important thing the likes of which we've never seen before in history then you're gonna lose quite a bit of impact eventually, even for the fanatics. You can't just keep the throttle at 100% all the time, you've gotta let your audience breathe sometimes. It's exhausting.

In the long run it doesn't mean much (because the House wasn't going to get anything done anyway) but it's funny to laugh at dumb Republicans. Imagine how catastrophically people would be talking about the Dems right now if the situation were reversed.

Yeh for me the fun is in watching the schism for the GOP.

And just lol at MTG saying at least the Dems can work together. It really goes to show that both sides trade on tropes over reality. They actually think the Dems are cohesive and organized! Lolllll

Holy gently caress that Boobert interview with Hannity...

He literally put her threw clown college and she failed with flying colors. She proved she is incapable of forming anything coherent that she came up with herself and has literally no plan but to support anything that is not Kevin McCarthy. And even then you don't know what she wants because she can't even come up with a replacement besides Donald Trump but won't officially say that's who she wants because she knows everyone would laugh at her. 😂

Also lol that like this is happening because of 500 CHUDs in Colorado.

MTG, nothing. If dems aren't calling for fresh speaker votes every time there's something that they want to grind to a halt or whenever the speaker has done something that annoys five republicans, then they're loving things up.

They're going to gently caress things up, of course, because they're democrats. But they really need to remind these idiots that both parties can abuse the system.

quote:


Rep. George Santos is once again on the move. At least, that’s what the embattled Republican congressman-elect told The Daily Beast this week, in response to questions about the Queens apartment he’s been staying at with his sister. It turns out, according to court records, his sister was already facing potential eviction for failure to pay rent at that apartment.

Asked this week whether the eviction dispute might affect his newfound living arrangements, Santos told The Daily Beast in text messages that his Elmhurst digs had been temporary.

He claimed that he had already relocated to a new apartment in north Queens, in his district, on Monday. Santos also told The Daily Beast that he was considering whether he could cancel his voter registration, a step he said would help conceal his place of residence from the press.

There’s much more, including a claim that Santos has told New York GOP officials that he will not seek reelection.

I’m guessing the play here is to make the concession that the rule changes will be put to the floor for a vote, knowing they will never pass. The Chud caucus still doesn’t understand how the process works.

It's funny to me how Hannity has absolutely nothing when he is trying to browbeat boebert.

"Just answer my leading questions to support my narrative"

"gently caress you Sean and most of all gently caress Mccarthy forever"

"Uh looks like we made some progress here"

Hannity is not stupid and his conniving rear end really has nothing vs the stubborn idiocy of the freedom Caucus when they are so convicted in their poo poo. Hannity is used to people with no convictions so when he runs into the boeberts who actually seem to believe their idiot positions he just gets absolutely taosted lmao
