Vote for Byron Donalds of Florida as the first Black House Speaker. Watch the media heads explode with the GOP electing the first Black Speaker instead of the Stalinazi lunatic Ha Keem Jeffries.

RE: Idiots - Democrats are laughing

While the earlier votes were in progress, the annoyingly wimpy “moderate” a-hole WJR radio host had a guest and told him “Americans are watching all this and they’re believing what the Democrats said that the Republicans can’t get it together to be leaders. How are people supposed to vote for them again if they can’t even agree among themselves?”

Key to this is the announcer and guest seem to believe total lockstep unity with no back talk to the Dem leaders——learned from Nazis and Communists by the way, means “good government.”

If totalitarians like those two face dissidents the dissidents die or go to re-education camps after their families are threatened by goons. The opposition to Stalin or Mao ended up dead.

That is the Dems’ overall goal——woke or you’re off Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, television panels and anywhere else you might vainly dream of “freedom of speech.”

That is NOT my idea of “good government.”

It is not possible for the DEMS to get 218 votes. The SOTHOR will either be a RINO scum bag like McCarthy or a patriot. We will see.

“Idiots - Democrats are laughing”

They will laugh just as hard at the GOP if McCarthy is elected. They WANT him in the position because he is a Dem with an R behind his name. Sam same, no difference.

“McCarthy needs to step down.”

I agree. He is putting himself ahead of the party and the country.

He is dishonorable.

[central_va]

Been around here for 25 years. Freeper quality is not what it used to be. I guess a lot of the early year Freepers have crossed over.

[for-q-clinton]

Yep this was a close one...looks like we should avoid mccarthy. Let’s hope Jordan gets it and not another lefty.

[Openurmind]

The game is still over if McCarthy is elected.

[AlmaKing]

Jordan for speaker.

[17th Miss Regt]

She will just not let me go and continues to want me as a boyfriend.

Is she an Overly Attached Girlfriend?

Torn between two women, feeling like a fool
Loving both of them is breaking all the rules

I couldn't really blame you Greta, if you turned and walked away
But despite with how I feel about Nancy, I'm asking you to stay

[4Liberty]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[napscoordinator]

The independent voters must be so impressed. Sure, it’d be nice if we had enough voters to not need independent voters but that’s not reality.

[for-q-clinton]

Jeffries can't win without gop votes, so that it not happening.

[napscoordinator]

Only 20 of them.

[bigbob]

Maybe Moochele or Oprah
