McCarthy Round 2

So Scalise basically admitted he’s nothing. David Duke is nothing but baggage.

No wonder conservatives are making him speaker.

David duke spoke in my poly sci dept in undergrad. Bizarre man. Ran for prez as a Dem. Then became a populist. Then a Republican. And racist
In all fairness to ol’ Stevie, he did say he regretted attending a white supemacist meeting. But hey! Democrats were racist back in the 60s!

If the GOP nominates/elects Jordan as Speaker, what happens when the lawsuit of the former OSU wrestlers vs OSU goes to trial?

Can you imagine the effect of having the "Speaker" repeatedly being asked to comment on testimony like this?

(Jordan discussion 3 mins in)

And what if this ex-referee comes forward?

You mean like when a placed president Quid Pro Joe who is guilty of all kinds of "POLITICAL CRIMES" who should be tried and convicted, but continues doing the worse crap while the country goes down the sh!tter?

ooooopsie

Lol. They’re saying if Jordan doesn’t get through they might go back to McCarthy.

It doesn’t seem like Scalise ever had his heart in it. Blood cancer, I’m sure he still deals with pain from being shot, why add herding these cats to your list of frustrations?

The dichotomy between the seriousness of the problems this country faces and the three ring circus that is our government would be funny if it wasn’t so scary.

Whatever Frankenstein conglomeration that currently makes up the GOP House Majority is many things, but definitely not a coalition that's interested in governing. Much better designed to be a minority party that can just vote no all the time.
 
Gaetz broke it … Gaetz needs to do more to fix it. … or there will be another 45 day CR.
No he didn't...We need a Pub Pelosi. And Jordan fits the bill not scalise. Jus sayin. Honestly, you know who would be great but we cant have him...John Kennedy, that dude is so full of logic its sick.

Scalise today: "Our conference still has to come together and is not there. There are still some people that have their own agendas. And I was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs."

Gaetz doesn't give a shit about Congress. He wants media attention and the top job in Tallahassee.

Fk Gaetz....hell he said probably 10x during/ after the McCarthy debacle that Scalise would be a "great speaker".

Jordan got fewer Republican votes than Scalise. No way he'd reach the necessary 217.

You mentioned Kennedy and that triggered an idea. Do you know who would be great but is unavailable? John-John. Guy is charismatic, good-looking and still young-enough at 62. But he's exceptionally busy working behind the scenes with Trump to save the world from the evil Dem cabal. He used to be a Dem himself but I guess he's flipped.

John Kennedy the Senator?
 
Anyways pass on scalise. He's just another sellout. Gaetz ain't. How bout tulsi. She seems to have her leftist mind still but after leaving the party some common sense. The choices are all shit.

I'm gonna tell you what's very possibly coming from all of this. A deal cut with Dems to put a very moderate GOP Speaker in place, along with concessions on committee assignments and the like. I think the majority of the GOP conference has had it with the 6-15 jackwads on the far right flank and are ready to toss them off the boat.

Frankly Biden should propose an Israel aid package. If the Senate acted, that would put huge pressure on the House not to be MIA.

I heard an explanation about Mace changing that helps explain the problem, her district changed and is now safe. So she changed. Safe districts are a scourge upon humanity. Look at the people who voted to remove, all safe.

Mace is a disgrace, but yes she's just playing to her new district (which is probably going to be overturned by the SC).

Extreme gerrymandering has destroyed The House (and the total functioning of our govt, at this point) more than any other scourge.

And to be clear to our further right friends, I am not happy with safe left either. But yes, the ability to data gerrymander makes it more dangerous than ever.

The report I read suggested the court sounded very supportive of this gerrymander.

How do we ever get out of this cycle?

Not sure we ever will. Only we if get to such an extreme where the majority of voters nationally end up in the minority. I don't think that's occurred in House elections.

But the corrosiveness of 80+ % of seats being party safe is very evident.
