Functions properly. Funny.
Its not vengeance Israel have to get rid of hamas so this doesn't happen again can't people figure out that hamas started all this
How can anyone vote for a republican
We all want a functional government. But you can't keep blaming others when the GOPs are the ones causing it. Everyone should stop working their OWN personal agenda and work for the People. I CAN'T BELIEVE Kevin and other Republicans are blaming Democrats because they can't function,
Всех спикеров покупает Байден, он хочет, чтобы все голосовали за поставку оружия на Украину и в Израиль.
Forget about the GOP's incompetence. Who is the staff member in blue dress?
Whatever happened to White Supremacy in America? Anybody?
I wanted that quitter Mitt to be the speaker to help lose even more GOP votes. Maybe God is trying to tell you corrupt worthless LOSERS it is time to get a haircut and get a real job.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Looks like the Reagan cronies are going to have to ESAD. No Trump=No GOP
That implies that something is functioning in DC which is an incorrect statement from the get go. The GOP is the laughing stock of the planet. Get a haircut and get a real job, don't be a slob. GOP is synonymous with the word LOSERS. Grow up and be a man.
Thank you for soeaking for a working House.
Hmmmm, not bad. I like what he thinks and says. Is he an evangelical white nationalist?
Another Sabor from Georgia 😅
Jim jordan for speaker….period
Republicans fault like always waisting time
Go away America wants Jordan!!!!!!
Jordan all the way………………..
but, none of you ever deserved a house
If you want a House that functions correctly, elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans
me too
The Republicans can always vote in Hakeem Jeffries? He could get over 217 if some Republicans flip. Just an option.
So he wanted Scalise.
GOP dysfunction is not going away….too many crazies.
will he save us from climate change?
Since Austin Scott voted to ratify the election of President Biden the Democrats should offer him their support for the Speaker of the House. He is probably the best Republican option to move the House forward. A Democratic speaker without a majority is not a realistic option. Liz Cheney would be another better option.

As long as the MAGA play a factor in decisions there will always be divisions.
Want in one had and defecate in the other and see which one fills up first !!
He doesn't want the job, but is running, for house of speaker against his ''friend,'' Jim Jordan. Make it make sense.
They don't realize that proposing the same type of candidate will not get them a different result. Bring a conservative candidate with a good history of working for the people without having conspired in extreme agendas, and they can find a winner.
And this is part two of why isreal was attacked we cant get along
He seems to be a practical man, I can respect that.
I’d like to have a president that functions correctly. 😢
Republicans like always waisting time like always
WELL HE IS ASKING FOR AN IMPOSSIBILITY, THE MEGA MAGA'S ARE THERE , READY TO DESTROY THE SMOOTH RUNNING OF DEMOCRACY. TWO TYPES OF REPUBLICANS , THE WEAK AND THE MEGA MAGA'S. BOTH OF THEM VERY BAD, UNFIT TO GOVERN.
It is hard. Power addictiveness is what got us where we are.
if the GOP can't get enough votes can't they just storm the capital and try to force someone unelected into power like they've attempted in the past? /satire (Cause the GOP is anti-American and the party of treason, get it)
