Gym Jordan to the House tally clerks right now, "I just need you to find me 16 more votes."

I wish I could laugh, but this is a sad circus.
I dare any Repugnican to explain to me why they should be in control of our government. They are legislative invalids who have advanced degrees in grifting and deflection.

have you not heard that joe biden is old?

Combative right-wing Republican Jim Jordan on Tuesday sought more time to build support for his bid for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after coming up short in a first vote, raising questions about his prospects for winning the job.

Gymmy still trying to instill his version of the "bully" pulpit.

And we're headed for a round three.

This is reminding me of the early days after the 2020 vote when Trump kept losing and losing and losing in court.

Maybe Gym thinks the Speaker vote is like the Electoral College and getting fewer popular votes doesn't matter.

This GOP House caucus is absolutely incompetent. The fact they can’t figure this out shows the lack of influence of any leadership. I don’t like Pelosi, but when it came to whipping votes she could do it. Those idiots in the “squad” would run their mouths but when it was time to vote she had them in line to get the policy implemented.

I am looking for those against Jordan to broker a deal with Dems. The ones in districts Biden won will strengthen their bonafides for working across the aisle, which is something even some Trumpers have been quoted as saying they want (don’t ask me - makes no sense, but they are Trumpers, so…).
Smart Repugnicans (seeming contradiction in terms, no?) know this and know it may give them a better chance to retain the House next year - a chance that is getting slimmer and slimmer each day this lunacy drags on.

It is just what their dear leader wants.

I still laugh about that "force the vote" thing that everyone was screaming for because they thought "the squad" actually had the cojones to do it. Pelosi put the jackboot on their necks and never let up. I don't like Pelosi either, but that was a beautiful thing to see.

Brianna today on CNN was skewering a Rep. rep, don't remember who as skillfully as a collector pinning his new butterfly to the board. He wiggled and wriggled and kept trying to say the real problem was the 208 Democrats who'd voted with the 8 renegades to vacate the chair. She kept coming back to her point - "Do you have a majority or not?"

Link to Brianna's interview.The only question she omitted was to ask him how many Repubs voted for Pelosi...
