1. I just turn the volume off when these idiots are on the screen.

[madaboutharry]

2. This isn't a nomination speech.

I hate this shit when people hijack a situation to talk about themselves.

3. I think the whole point of this drama is attention and fame

for certain individuals.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. A DELAY Tactic from where I am sitting.

He is not changing any minds. Especially on the Democratic Party side.

BLOVIATION!!!

[PatSeg]

7. And yes, they know they aren't changing any minds

It is just an opportunity to be in the limelight especially at time when the whole world is watching. They are all attention hogs.

5. there are literally no rules right now.....

They all expired at the end of the last congress.

There aren't even any members yet since they haven't been sworn in. They are all member-elect, even those returning.

I'm not sure they can do anything at this point beyond vote for speaker and vote to adjourn.

6. Who is speaking?

[gopiscrap]

8. it was Rep elect Rosendale (R) MT

[Hortensis]

9. Lol, born and raised in Baltimore, moved 20 years ago

to Montana, adopts what's become a signature Republican southern-ish hardscrabble farmer accent. They should trademark it. Just think what royalties on use of "nucular" would have amounted to over the past 70 years.
