U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Election: Round 2

C-Span ^ | October 18, 2023 | U.S. Congress

[Dr. Franklin]

Quorum call in progress

[Sarah Barracuda]

Absolute clown show..acting like a bunch of babies whining about how grudges..this is what the GOP has become

[Nervous Tick]

>> A few have been corrupted by their own populist ambitions - making a “name” for themselves, preventing clear GOP majorities from selecting a leader.

You do realize that the “populist choice” for speaker, Jim Jordan, got 199 votes, whereas the assortment of RINO douchebags favored by the GOPe got 22 votes.

That’s NINETY PERCENT populist — 90%! — and ten percent GOP-elite lobbyist-ruled trough sloppers.

This completely destroys what you perceived to be the brilliant forceful logic of your argument against populists.

Great job!

[who knows what evil?]

30 pieces of silver is just north of $1000 at the moment...I’m sure these RINO’s were paid a LOT more than that... :-)

[gloryblaze]

President Trump supports Jordan.

[telescope115]

Whatever their strategy is, I’m done with the Republican Party. Their indecision and infighting is wrecking this country every bit as much as the Democrats’ plotting to destroy it.

I am so finished with them.

>> RINO traitors just need a little more pork and few more rounds

Or, you could speak blessing and success into the future. Like this:

“The relatively few holdouts just need more prayer and peer pressure to turn their hearts towards truth, justice and righteousness.”

Chin up! :-)

[Nervous Tick]

>> Trump is not perfect, but he has a pair of balls

Are you sure about that? Only two? :-)

[dfwgator]

Trump is not perfect, but he has a pair of balls

Brass ones.

[central_va]

You have to adjust for 2,000 years of inflation. A stone grotto hut only cost 10 pieces of silver in old Jerusalem.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Steve Gannon says left wing lobbyists are buying off RINOs speaker votes in the Capital Grille. Color me not surprised.

[itsahoot]

Ask yourself, what major changes were made in Ginrich’s life causing him to no longer follow the convictions he once claimed to support.

New wife, new faith, he became Catholic.

Remember when we had 3 speakers over the course of a couple week, Newt does?

“The relatively few holdouts just need more prayer and peer pressure to turn their hearts towards truth, justice and righteousness.”

Ok, well said. i’m sure not giving up

Steve Gannon says left wing lobbyists are buying off RINOs speaker votes in the Capital Grille. Color me not surprised.

That's enough to bring tears to the kingdom. Does Steve have a Link for that?

[Nervous Tick]

Thank you for all you do to keep us informed during this process! Much appreciated.

[snarkybob]

“You do realize that the “populist choice” for speaker, Jim Jordan, got 199 votes, whereas the assortment of RINO douchebags favored by the GOPe got 22 votes.
That’s NINETY PERCENT populist — 90%! — and ten percent GOP-elite lobbyist-ruled trough slippers.”

And 4% of the conference vacated the speaker’s chair while 96% voted to keep McCarthy.

[Nervous Tick]

Yeah, like those, only larger.

[Texas Fossil]

I worked for a company that had a much bigger pair of company balls. They were brass, but they were welded to proof coil chain between them.

They only took them out of the cabinet when a really big decision was necessary.

[freedomispriceless]

The only gains the Republicans have made since becoming the Majority in the House are in their arrogance and contempt for their voters.
When you have votes for Boehner and Miller (retired congresswoman that James voted for), what more proof do we need of their contempt?
Scalise, James and those clowns in Florida and Texas all need to be defeated, no second chances because they’ll just lie to us again.

[Nervous Tick]

So how do you explain RINO Scalise crapping out in committee, whereas Jordan has 90% support?

Maybe pricked consciences plus a learned change of heart plus a new appreciation of the consequences of abandoning control of the purse to the DemonRats when we’re thirty-three trillion in debt?

I see this as a revolution — an attempt at real, positive change — dump the business as usual moneychangers and do something good for America. That’s why 90% are backing Jordan! They FINALLY woke up and decided they don’t want to be on Team Evil.
