GOP the party that feeds itself on destroying things and each other to grasp at wealth and power with no intention of following the constitution or the law. They are anti-legislators
The Longest and Most Contentious Speaker Election in House History Just for a bit of historical context. It took them two month to get it figured out in 1855, just a few years before civil war broke out. I'm not a huge history buff, especially going back that far, but can we make any corollaries here? I doubt we end up with someone elected under the banner of multiple parties... The house has been a political boondoggle for far too long at this point for that to happen, but I guess it'd be my preference.
The 20 hardliners are not interested in anyone reasonable. Right now they'd rather vote for a guy in only his second term than for anyone who might possibly compromise and work bi-laterally.
"The former guy" (or as some will say "that fucking guy"). Also known as Adolf Twitler, Agent Orange, Angry Creamsicle, Benedict Donald, A Boiled Ham in a Wig, Damn Turd Pol, Decomposing Jack O’Lantern, Fuckface von Clownstick, Genghis Can’t, Orange Manatee, Trumpelthinskin, Bag of Toxic Sludge, Darth Hitler, Der Groepenfuehrer, The Human Tanning Bed Warning Label, Mango Mussolini and Orange Toilet Bowl Crud Brought to Life as a Genital-Grabbing Golem, among others.
Meanwhile, George Santos or whatever his name actually is, can't stop lying. He told constituents he had voted against omnibus funding bill. He wasn't in Congress at the time it was voted on.
If you are looking for a little schadenfreude, then check out the subreddit www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace. The idea behind the name is when people who "keep pet leopards", are then surprised when their pet leopard turns on them eats their face. Which I think is a perfect metaphor for what is happening with the GOP and their pet leopard MAGA. Anyway enjoy.....
If we can have votes for anyone, maybe they should all vote for Kamala Harris, that way she can be both the president of the Senate and the speaker of the house - and they will save one salary. They are all for a smaller, more efficient government, right? Or just elect the dog. For $85 he will ban any congress member that says stupid stuff.
