1. Pick a number, any number....they are all corrupt, imho

[GoCubsGo]

4. Yup. What difference will it make?

We're in for a shitshow, regardless of who they settle on. I just hope they drag it out a good, long time for the whole country to immediately see what corrupt, incompetent boobs the lot of them are. Well, those who have yet to notice that. The rest of us have long known that.

[PJMcK]

14. This afternoon will be fascinating

You know, like feeding time at the zoo.

[jimfields33]

18. At least until January 13th

After that no staffer gets paid in any Party.

[nuxvomica]

2. Stefanik

The MAGAs will first vote for TFG, establishing an impasse, then Stefanik waltzes in as the "compromise" candidate.

[onenote]

23. How many votes for TFG do you think there'll be?

[DemocraticPatriot]

3. SATAN--- no matter what they call themselves

on this planet...

[PJMcK]

9. Good response! (n/t)

[NewHendoLib]

5. I don't care. They all lie, they're all shit.

[PJMcK]

10. A weakened Speaker could be advantageous

If they can’t accomplish anything, they won’t muck up things too much.

[ananda]

6. They are all SO bad and stupid.

It will be a clown-shit show regardless.

[Carlitos Brigante]

7. Other: Art Vandelay nt

[John Ludi]

8. I'm more curious

as to which one of them is the first to be exposed as an actual cannibal.

[PJMcK]

11. You do know...

…that MTG and Jim Jordan enjoy their blue-plate specials!

[John Ludi]

12. I suspect some of them

may be tempted to take "owning the Libs" a bit too far on their devolutionary plummet into the abyss. Soylent Greenpeace.

[Emile]

13. Can the democrats throw in a name? Liz Cheney?

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. If the entire caucus got behind it, I think it could happen.

She wouldn't need a lot of Republicans to secure the majority. Question is, would she want the job?

[Emile]

17. With all democrats she would only need a small handful of

sane republicans to win. The small handful of republicans must not care about being primaried.

[PJMcK]

20. Would the Democrats really want her as Speaker?

She was terrific as co-chair of the January 6 committee and going after Trump. But never forget that she has a long history that is no where near progressive priorities. She’s a hardcore conservative. With her management skills, she could put forth legislation that most of us would oppose. Not a great result for trying to “own the GQP.”

Republican disarray and division is better for our side, I believe.

[onenote]

24. This nonsensical idea has shown up here several times

Repetition doesn’t make it any less ridiculous

[Emile]

25. Are you always so judgemental?

[onenote]

26. No But if calling a nonsensical idea nonsensical is judgmental

I guess I am in this instance. Unapologetically so.

[Emile]

27. .

[Earl_from_PA]

34. She is no longer a member of the House

Harriet Hageman is now the lone rep from Wyoming.

[Emile]

35. So what, you don't have to be a member of congress.

[TreasonousBastard]

16. Don't know, don't really care.

[PJMcK]

21. Fair enough

It’ll still be consequential.

[spanone]

19. A republicon.

[PJMcK]

22. Best reply! (n/t)

[Johnny2X2X]

28. This is normal

McCarthy is basically handing out bribes for votes right now. Happens every cycle.

[Maru Kitteh]

37. I'm going to assume you forgot your sarcasm thingy there.

[Johnny2X2X]

38. I am happy I was wrong

The GOP is a mess.

[Torchlight]

29. Someone loud, dumb and mean-spirited.

That narrows it down to about 222.

[PJMcK]

30. I guess it'll be a Republican then (n/t)

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. Will Fred Upton be the next Speaker of the House?

[usonian]

32. Jeffries FTW

[Initech]

33. Honestly at this point I expect the cafeteria snack vending machine will be nominated.

[Maru Kitteh]

36. Pretty wild. I'm not sure who it will be, but thinking big ole NO on McCarthy. I'd pay $$$

to watch him boxing up his shit in humiliation to carry out of the speaker's office though.


LOVE IT !!!!!!
