25 repubs voted against him.

Then later, the GOP conference held a secret ballot and Gym lost that one too

for him to lose was five no votes and it was up to 13 before I stopped watching the count. Commentators were saying it was a waste of time by then.

republicans have once again demonstrated their incompetence and inability to govern.

Should have kept paying their lawyers, Mango Mugabe'!

That's the difference between the Quasi-Sentient Pumpkin's pretend mafia and the real deal. If you kept quiet, your family got a monthly stipend , you got your job back after you were released and you got good lawyers to defend you. Loyalty both ways is the only way this criming shit works, Dumbass Donnie.

I would celebrate if not for the fact that they have numerous (even worse) alternatives. Sanity does not seem to be taking hold but maybe the fracturing of the evil splinter groups will be beneficial to the country.

They'll probably pick some other poop-thrower, and go through the same thing a few more times.

They remind me of my late Basset Hound (but without the cuteness), who was given to sticking his nose on the hot oven window whenever something was cooking.

He'd yelp and retreat - but if someone wasn't in the kitchen at all times, he'd just keep on trying.

Yelping all the way.

on this planet now that might do something to cause the death of Harris and Biden. Did they really want the tea-party to lead the executive branch?
