House likely to vote today on Jim Jordan for speaker

[BidenPresident]

Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-Fla.), who voted for Rep. Kevin McCarthy over Rep. Jim Jordan, told reporters that he expected at least seven Republicans to vote against Jordan but that he didn’t know what the upper boundary was.

He blamed Jordan’s hardball tactics while lobbying holdouts for costing him votes. “His tactics certainly didn’t work on me,” Gimenez said. “Actually, I became more cemented in my position.

Tell us again about MI and its republican success? Then we can cover about 10 other states....

What are you yapping about?

You keep making threats that if Republicans don't do what your Reich wants, you won't like them.

Big fucking deal - you already hate us and want to kill us all.

Empty threats from impotent little Nazis mean nothing.

It took 19 votes to get McCarthy across the line..

What you Stalinists want is chaos.

The Democrats are looking forward to the possibility of a Jordan victory. The man has so much baggage I wonder how he can move around.

It took McCarthy 15 votes to win. You had better wrap your head with duct tape because Jordan will probably get there.

That will make Democrats happy!

Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), a former Democratic leader, said he backs expanding Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick T. McHenry’s (R-N.C.) powers until Dec. 31. “I think that is one alternative that is not a bad alternative,” he said. McHenry has said he opposes the idea.

The DNC released a statement chiding Republicans for failing, once again, to elect a House Speaker.

Calling Republicans the “Chaos Caucus”, DNC spokesperson Sarafina Chitika accused GOP members of making “a mockery of our institutions” and being “incapable of governing.”

“Serious times demand serious leadership, not the GOP’s MAGA clown show with Trump as its ringleader,” said Chitika, in part.

Looks likely, but do not underestimate the bullying that is going on with people used to being susceptible to bullying...

Yup. They caught Hannity and FOx news threatening the potential hold outs basically saying we will attack you on our news shows, if you do not fall in line.

Trump wants to ensure there will be no resistance in the House, next election when they try to over throw the election, after his loss and Jordan is all in, on that, which is why Trump wanted him.

A lot of them were show votes, Scalise and McCarthy supporters pissed and wanting to show it, they’ll come around in the next few ballots, especially with the pressure exerted by MaraLago and the Fox people

I keep saying little Jimmy will prevail in the end, what moderates are left will give up, anxious to just have it all behind them and return to the House business, which in their case, means shutdown the Government and impeach Biden

House members said because Jordan is strongarming them they will never vote for him.

And that was yet one more historical first set by the MAGA Republicans

McCarthy isn't MAGA. He negotiated with you guys and you stabbed him in the back.

Exactly, MaraLago has been working for three years mingling in State election procedures, it is all part of a orchestrated effort

Why are Democrats supposed to vote for a Republican?

 

[Jarod]

There are about 10 Republicans who say they will not vote for Gym unless he admits Biden won.

Sure he was, January 7th, 2020, he stood in Congress and declared Trump was responsible for the events of the prior day, a week later, after the visit to Maralago, he was kissing Trump’s ass.

And the Democrats didn’t stab McCarthy, the freedom idiots did, they got him axed, and prevented him from returning, if the GOP was competent, and more focused on the country rather than Maralago, they wouldn’t have needed any Democrat votes. No one, well, seemingly but you, swallowed that lie

 

[BidenPresident]

House expected to vote again. Time for Republicans to ask Democrats who they would vote for.

If that were true, the Nazi contingent in the house would be ordered by Fuhrer Soros to vote for him.

But in fact you vermin are deathly afraid of Jordan.
