BREAKING: Republican Steve Scalise has ended his bid to become House speaker after failing to secure the votes to win the gavel

[Syncro]

Yes Jordan

“He is the only one with the resume to Take Down the global DS pedo cabal”

No Mo #BidenCaliphate wishy washy Speaker.

[Syncro]

It was done in secret.

Who knows what really went down in the Sciff?

[Syncro]

Oops SCIF.

Can he get 217 votes? Can anybody?

Democrats can with the votes of the so-called Republicans who voted with them. They are apparently so foolish that not only will their way get President Biden re-elected (Trump’s commentary on the war is foolish), it will get Biden a Democrat House and Senate. Gaetz’ fault; also Netanyahu likely finished after war;

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“”””That’s the problem. Scalise is GOPe and Jordan is MAGA Tea arty. If neither of them can get the 217 (218 is an absolute majority), then who can? The Establishment doesn’t want Jordan and MAGA doesn’t want McCarthy, Scalise, or anyone like them. Who can get the votes that is worth giving them to?

This is why Gaetz’s gambit was a bad idea. Once you kill the King, you have to have a plan for the aftermath.””””

Just maybe Gaetz’s “plan for the aftermath” was to further expose the GOPe in the House. In that regard Gaetz has been very successful.

Hmm, can’t get anointed, so going to call it quits.

[cableguymn]

It was basically the other sides king. Sure they can appoint another one. You kill that one too.

[Fury]

Seems reasonable.

[af_vet_1981]

Gaetz plan, not that he is politically astute enough to realize the damage he does, is to have Hakeem Jeffries end up as Speaker with a Democrat Senate and President.

I hate to step out and puke after watching Bret Baier interview McCarthy last night. It became ridiculous after Brett begged McCarthy to re-enter the race about 17 times, then he got down on his knees, just awful.

“...you squishy boob...”

If I could be a squishy good I’d be soooo happy! I’d never leave the house and stay undressed all day...

[CarolinaReaganFan]

good riddance.
Please take Emmer with you into retirement.
If Jordan gets blocked ,then i hope will go for a floor vote so at least we would kbow which RINO’s need to be primaried.
this ain’t gonna be easy

I wish squishes would STHU.

I wish mindless, babbling idiots would STHU. But they never do, and I guess there's some amusement value in that. Thanks for doing your part in amusing me.
