Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will not seek an additional speaker vote Thursday, and he will back a plan to give Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.), the temporary speaker, additional powers, according to multiple people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the situation. After two rounds of votes, a group of Republicans had made clear that Jordan did not have enough support to win the speaker’s gavel. With House functions at a standstill, lawmakers can now consider a proposal to expand McHenry’s powers.

I am so happy that the devastating “chaos” is over. I must have been hell for all of you squishy RINOS . Back to sucking RINO ass again.

"At least he can continue pounding the Biden maladministration"

That's like hitting your head against the wall to teach it a lesson.

And it's the ChiComjoe kakistocracy of traitors, with the RINOcrats liplocked to their keisters.

The GOP is showing that unlike the Democrats the GOP is not a party and does not understand how a party must operate in Congress, in order to effectively oppose their worst opponents - the Democrats not each other, or quit being a party.

McHenry is like that little religious nutter in Footloose! The liitle one that’s burning books at the elementary school.

He also reminds me of that hapless little dweeb shop keeper in Police Academy 2.

Why fight a battle you can’t win?

You have a point. Really why do women foolishly fight back when being raped? Why not lay back and enjoy it, right? They can't win, right? ( THIS IS SARCASM )

Good. This is sure a lot better than Hakeem Jeffries, a leftist Dem who was expected to end up as Speaker because of GOP dysfunction.

Searching FR keywords is not going to work.

What does work is glancing at the Breaking News sidebar. Where you will see this same article posted an hour ago.

Also try using Ctrl F. That would have shown you the two prior same articles.

And I will give you a pass on this 3rd repost as the 2nd repost was only posted 6 minutes before yours.

How to post......

Agree entirely. Gaetz was stupid not to have lined up everything in advance, but that’s typical. We don’t think in terms of party power.

Maybe Jordan is going to work on finding out just what the hold outs are afraid of and/or want before they vote for him. Need to decrease democrats in the house and Senate.

It sounds like you are with the 20 Rino’s.
This Congress has achieved nothing during its term from a legal standpoint. The only good is that a very few of them have exposed many bad deeds. But that is as far as it will go.
Lets have a vote every day until the Rino’s decide that want the power to do things again.

...I hope Gaetz and his 8 backers are happy with this..

I call them the Great Eight and absolutely supported what they did. McCarthy made promises that were not kept. This year interest paid on the National Debt will be 663 billion dollars. Imagine what could have been bought with that! We need somebody, anybody , who will do something about this insane spending and borrowing.

I understand to be in line he must be elected, not appointed. But am not sure.

The Republicans are waiting for medical science to perfect testicular and spinal transplants before they decide on a new Speaker.
