Was Anna Nicole Smith (the late) ever a ring girl who held up round # placards?
I think the budget vote in 3 weeks is going to be mucho interesting.
We already elected a new Speaker of the House in the first round. Let it continue.
Mr. Speaker ‘Nobody’.
The speakers agenda? NO CRs, no funding foreign wars, no funding protection of foreign borders, no 10,000 page bills with no time to read them.
Speaker ‘Nobody’ represents uniparty governmental paralysis.
Many are taking selfies with Mike… and Byron is taking the snap for them, lol.
The DemoRat Party is like a cesspool but the GOPukes are like a polluted stream in the desert. RINO’s, weasels and backstabbers save for a precious few.
One Republican and three Dems were not present at the quorom call. If that continues, the votes needed for Johnson to become Speaker are reduced, and Jeffries would only get a maximum of 209 votes. So 210 votes could win this for Johnson.
Stefanik nominates Mike Johnson (R-LA) for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Predictably, Dem Rep. Aguilar (CA) nominates Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House.
I’m excited about this guy too. If confirmed, we will have a more conservative speaker, and Pelosi and Hoyer will have lost their office space. I’ll take that.
Roll call vote in progress.
Looks like it will be Speaker Johnson
Someone please explain, with all that is going on, and all thAt has to be done, how not having a GOP speaker of the House is better than having one that maybe does not meet everyone’s purist litmus test.
A party without a leader is a gang without a voice, as even every Conservative in the media notices, as Biden and the Dim leaders can speak for their party while the GOP in the House does not have a noticeable voice on anything.
Its time the egos and purist litmus tests were put aside in the GOP and everyone agree to approve a GOP speaker and get on with the “regular order” of the House instead of no order at all.
This speaker mess is a black mark on the Republican caucus - they have no leader and at this point seem to not want one either.
Children should not get elected to public office.
It’s going to be Johnson. Unanimous from GOP so far. Rate means it will get to 215 required today.
Johnson now has 107 without any defections. He is more than half way there.
Rutherford votes for Johnson...The solidarity beat goes on...
That’s 215 for Johnson. That should put him over the top.
For better or for worse, it’s Johnson.
Johnson now at 218. This is over.
