Serious question why don't you use buttons? Just have everyone vote all at once and immediately show the result on a big screen.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin, who has the same high-pitched, irritating, nasal voice as Snyder. Someone - I believe it was a goon - was doing mash-ups of Levin soundbites with "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" video clips years ago, and they're a hoot, if you haven't seen them.

There's only one possible "compromise" candidate who can save the Republicans now.
  • A leading conservative
  • Highly educated, but speaking to the common man
  • Born into privilege, but disdained by high society
  • Willing to pull outlandish antics in an attempt to achieve their goals
  • Experience holding the highest elected office in the land
  • A native son of New York City
  • Wild hair that screams that their barber hates them

It's time to bring home Boris Johnson.

LOL that she thinks there's going to be serious legislating done.

The HFC must know where some bodies are buried to still be in the party. There's the argument that they give the GOP a majority but... do they? They can't even choose a speaker, how are they going to get anything done? I used to think a republican could step up and get votes from the dems, but at this point I think any repubs who want to get anything done (a minority but they exist) should just make a deal and vote for Jeffries until the HFC is booted.
But people who think that way probably left the republicans 4+ years ago.

They're going to vote for all the stupid investigations and whatever dumb poo poo the house tries to pass, they're just flexing right now.

That would be quite the throw of the dice by both the Dems and McCarthyites. I think they're both going to be too risk-averse to do something like that at this stage.

None of this is risky for the dems. Nothing is going to get done no matter who gets the gavel, the only difference would be how insane some of the bills brought to the floor are.

They're fine KM, or Scalise, or whomever, it's going to be show votes and investigations for 2 years.

And if Hakeem did get the Speakership, he still wouldn't have the votes to actually pass anything so it's basically nothing.

Nah it's popular among average people who want to "get the bums(except my bum)" out so you can say you support it on your issues page, but it's not going to pass at all.
