The House Cagefight Continues for Speaker

The House Cagefight Continues for Speaker

[odinsblog]

Just to emphasize: Mike Johnson is an antivaxxer, an anti-abortion, forced bither, he believes the job of poor women is to give birth to an infinite supply of low wage jobseekers, he is a climate change denier, he wants to cut Social Security + Medicare + Medicaid, and he’s a “Trump won!” Republican. And House Republicans just unanimously voted for him as Speaker of the House.

Please take note: there are no “moderates” in the Republican Party.

Jordan Reverses Himself and Will Push for a Third Speaker Vote

Here is the recap-

Republicans, continuing their tradition of playing stupid games and being shocked when they win stupid prizes, kicked Kevin McCarthy out of his post of Speaker of the House.

For context, Kevin McCarthy had a fucking awful time getting the job back in January, needing like 15 tries and a bunch of stupid placating and bootlicking the MAGA nuts. An incredible moment in US history. So many memes. Republicans almost getting into fist fights on the floor on the House. Embarrassing Chaos. and they STILL FUCKING KICKED MCCARTHY OUT. AFTER ALL THAT. (Probably because he compromised with Democrats to temporarily fund the government while they argued about the budget) Embarrassing.

They fire McCarthy with no backup plan. To be clear, this is intentional. The MAGA fuckers want to break the government. Also no one wants to be Speaker. It's an awful job.

Ok, so then they have to decide who will be the new speaker. Trump suggests Jim Jordan. There is a secret republican ballot. Jordan loses to some other guy (Scalise.) Ha.

Once it's time for the real vote (with the democrats and all)- unity shatters and Scalise can't carry the vote. He says he doesn't want it anymore.

So fine, Jim Jordan. Let's go.

He loses.

A bunch of Republicans hate him. He is suuuuper implicated in Jan 6 and is a scumbag.

He tries again.

He loses. Again. Worse than the first time. Hilarious. Humiliating.

Everyone is like "not this shit again. Can we just let the temporary speaker be the speaker until January so the House can like...function while the Republicans figure their shit out?"

Jim Jordan says he'll go along with this plan on TV. Because publically losing the Speaker vote multiple times is humiliating.

The MAGAs loose their FUCKING MINDS because this was a Democrat idea so its BAD. How DARE YOU WE JUST FIRED MCARTHY FOR COMPROMISING WITH THE DEMS.

Jim Jordan says FINE, I take it back. I'll try again.

We don't have a third vote scheduled.

It'd be funnier if the clowns weren't running OUR circus, ya know?

This is why we need to vote, and vote Democrat.

The Republicans aren't interested in policy, they are interested in coming for YOU, personally. I am saying this bc I think there are a lot of eligible, youger voters who maybe think that current things don't have anything to do with them..... It does.

The Speaker of the House attending this kind of event isn't normal. Part of our constitution is the separation of church and state. This violates that.

Make sure it doesn't become normal.

#vote democrat 💙

I was just browsing through the internet when I suddenly halted because I saw this.

This Limited Mediabook Edition came out two years ago and was only released in Germany. According to this YouTuber, only 333 copies were sold on pre-order and practically out of order after one minute. Not to mention it was around 3:00 am when it was occurring, how many people managed to find that out so quickly was a mystery to me. But I wished I could have gotten a copy of this, not only is it covered with new artwork, but information we probably didn't know about. If you want to know more, I'd recommend watching djcooky78's video because he does show what the book contains. And if there is any fluent German speaker out there, I'd be happy if you could translate everything for us.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Jeffries could actually win?

The House might actually be able to pass things with Jeffries as the Speaker for the ENTIRE House. Not just one party.

But of course it won't happen, and we will be stuck with a dysfunctional GOP Speaker.

But one can always dream...

Democrats are not in the majority of the House, Republicans are. Democrats did not file a petition to vacate the Chair, Republicans did.

1) Please tell me how Democrats are responsible for what Republicans did to McCarthy?

2) Please tell me, when have Republicans ever voted to help keep a Democratic Speaker of the House?

3) Why is mainstream media always pushing the narrative (which favors conservatives) that no matter how racist, nasty and disruptive Republicans are, Democrats should always turn the other cheek and “save” them?

In the words of AOC, “Contrary to how McCarthy's defenders are behaving, men failing up is not a Constitutionally protected right. The man made risky decisions and faced the natural consequences of them. I am not his mom, and my job is not to put pool noodles around hard corners for Republicans.”

To keep his Speakership, McCarthy was cutting deals to appoint Trump loyalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene to select House committees.

So, no, whoever replaces him won’t be “worse,” because being the weak Speaker he was, Kevin McCarthy was already on pace to giving everything away to Trumpers.

Hey Utah, just so you're aware, Mike Lee is floating the idea of Musk/Ramaswamy as Speaker of the House.

It'd be a real shame if you called him at 801-524-5933 or 202-224-5444 and told him how stupid you think that idea is.
