hakeem jeffries will be the real speaker.

there are some r’s that squeaked by in districts joe won. unless they are complete idiots, they know this is their last term if they buy into the shenanigans. their only hope is to keep their heads down, their mouths shut, and bring home the bacon.
not sure how many there are, but trust that their arms are already being twisted.

also trust that dems on oversight are armed and ready. i’d be shocked if there wasnt a plan to pick the traitors off and steal their seats. at the least, any nontroversies will be met w a mountain of evidence against their own. there will be no benghazis. there will be blood on the floor 1st.

with his amazing speech handing off the gavel.

He completely stole McCarthy’s limelight. Further exposed McCarthy as a shell of a human

I'm embarrassed for McCarthy.

Do you suppose he has the self-awareness to be embarrassed for himself?

Pick off those 4 or 5..

Continue to be on the offensive as Rep. Hakeem Jeffries demonstrated in his fantastic speech. "YES WE CAN!" he said. And YES WE WILL!

If we could rerun the midterm elections tomorrow I would expect at least a dozen Rs wouldn’t win their seats.
