I should start selling popcorn, I'd make a fortune
Completely predictable. The Republicans are accustomed to "sticking with" LOSERS.
Yup. They're sticking with the Loser.
Republican party does not serve America but their party and power.
They are divided and corrupted which does not help lives of American people.
Hard to believe these morons are adults! Toddlers could get along better, vote for Jeffries! Stop the childish madness!
Republicans "owning the libs" again..
The squad should did this to Pelosi but no they bend the knee that why this country is in turmoil.
I do not understand how so many MAGA insurrectionists are still in congress.
You're lying when you say you haven't really heard what he's said. Lying is in the politicians rule book
Has anyone seen M.T.G. lol 😂
That's it! Stick with the Swamp and corruption! Screw America!
"I'm in California". Apparently he doesn't have cable news there??? What a LOSER!
Gaetz and his followers doesn't care about doing business for the voters prolonging job they were given the people welfare
keep putting the same people in Congress don't expect anything new.
Yes, the American people want you to get to work but we don't want Maga party members to be running the house. We have had enough of your Maga party BS.
…the United States looks like a failed state…
…Trump's fingerprints are all over this strategy…
…Republicans don't want to admit MAGA Republicans are just shutting down the House out of spite…
…MAGA is just one glorified monkey wrench…
Pass the salt for my popcorn!🍿🍿🍷🤣
DEMOCRATS, Tomorrow Wednesday you have the power to nominate Liz Cheyney for house speaker and vote for her. If you can get 10 Republicans to go on board with all DEMOCRATS, we can choose who we want to run the house for the Republicans.
Go ahead and stick with the RINO, he ain’t getting speaker though! He’s bought and paid for! Swamp creature!
😂😂😂😂😂 American politics the ultimate 🤡💩show
We the people want the swamp rats gone. Mccarthy likes the pelosi corrupt swamp
What a waste of time and taxpayers money. Mr Jeffries should be declared the winner. It shouldn't take more than one round. We the people believe the system is rigged. Cheaters.
ReChumplicans have zero agenda to help the American people . The only thing they want is to fight Democrats on bogus issues
This is comedy.
Thank you
There are no qualified republicans
Oh, how the mighty Republican Party has fallen. They're virtually unrecognizable today. The seeds of demise, Trump planted has started to take root. This misfit group of individuals are hemorrhaging what little support they had from rational, mainstream, educated voters. Although at this point, I'm sure they have no couth, I'm embarrassed and ashamed for them.
Oh, and now Valadao says he hasn't taken time to see what Santos has done and said????? Give me a break. He's a bigger liar than Santos.
Republicans just want someone they can control, and try to destroy democrats, and democracy, and the American people.
.
Imagine that. He never heard any discussion of working with the Democrats for a compromise. Are you shocked? I'm not shocked. Compromise isn't in their dictionary.
"McCarthy fails ….", those are words that Kevin needs to get used to.
He is going to hear them a lot in the next two years.
Valado votes to impeach Trump. I don't think he is the right person for supporting kevin right now. LOL
Seriously? They're nominating a person who is nominating McCarthy and doesn't want the job??? Is that why Gym gave his impassioned campaign speech before he nominated McCarthy? Keep telling your self that, Valadao. We don't believe you.
Hey GOP and MAGA! Who is to blame for this embarrassment? That's right, you guessed it. The Orange Schmuck in Mar-a-lago. Your wonderful orange god, whom you made into a graven image in Orlando two years ago by the way, has done more damage to your fascist, cultist, treasonous and racist party than any Democrat ever could. I just put more butter on my popcorn as I watch the greatest show that is better than any movie ever made: "The Civil War and Destruction of MAGA and the GOP!" Hoping for a sequel! Vote Blue! 💙
