  1. All you jerks are the leaders of no one. Dem and rep

  2. I know that its almost 2024,…..
    But is it TOO LATE to Vote MYSELF OFF of whatever "ISLAND" this is?
    Have GUN will travel just swapped out FOR Have ARMS, WILL SWIM because SINKING just doesnt WORK 4 ME❀❀

  3. K😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

  4. republicans struggle to compromise with themselves,let alone dems…

  5. jim jordan has never legislated anything,zip,zero….

  6. Even after Jordan got his terrist supporters to threaten lawmakers who didn't vote for him he still lost three times.

  7. JIM JORDAN ESCAPE FOR YOUR SOUL
    THE ANTICHRIST IS GOVERNING AMERICA. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡°
    DANIEL CHAPTER 11 VERSE 37.πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

    JOHN 3:16πŸ“¬

  8. 1:17:00 so we don’t waste anymore time …or money for that matter

  9. We want Rep Jim Jeffries!

  10. Stand Up comedians pretending to be politicians would be better than watching these prostrate politicians pretending to be comedians.

  11. Our Republican leaders have no idea what its like to be out here in the world trying to elect Republican leaders into office. It's not easy nor safe even, but still, we do it. If we can be brave and risk it and vote you in, can you not at least work together? Stop acting like elementary school children. Its not about me or you. It's about our country. Pick a party and join it wholeheartedly or pick the other party!!

  12. Took McArthy less than a minute to start lying lol

  13. Republicans House! YOU KNOW we have had to work twice as hard as a Democrat to get our REPUB leaders in the seats they are in! We always have to go above and beyond what the DEMS do just to have our votes show up and count! Now you do this? You can't pull it together at such a crucial time? WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT!! If you are not a rino we can vote you out easier, but if you are a rino we know we have to work harder to get you out because secretly DEMS back you. They just let us have the illusion that we have 2 parties!!!

  14. IF JEFFERIES WASNT IN THE MIX JORDAN WOULD HAVE WON

  15. MS Democrat in grey suit doesn't realize this is a majority REPUB House! WE WILL HAVE A REPUBLICAN SPEAKER!!!!

  16. This McCarthy speech is comical.

  17. Perfect. No money for Ukraine or Israel.

  18. Jordan lost again strike 3 πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

  19. Boebert. Boebert. Boebert for speaker

  20. Republican is divided sharply and not united together which is absolutely not good to the party and to the country.

  21. Someday, Tlaib will be Speaker of the House and she will cut off all funding to Israel. College students across the country are hearing her words, and have answered with demonstrations supporting Palestine and peace. The winds are changing. It started with Barrack Obama, the first American President to identify the apartheid practices of Israel. Change is coming. Keep believing.

  22. Lauren Boebert for speaker
    We’ve seen she can handle a lot more than a gavel πŸ˜‚

  23. What a f’n joke. Tax dollars at work right there folks… fire all these dimwits

  24. It's pretty sad that the people we elected can't do their job right

  25. Why has Hakeem Jeffries vote total gone down by 2? β€˜Twas 212 yesterday, now it’s 210.

  26. The American people need Nancy Pelosi back in the house

  27. think we should formulate a party called demoblicans or repubmocracy and i believe this party would be dominant considering most of either seems to support views that are middle of both extreme ends … maybe the time is near has the nation has become staunching polarized and far reaching

  28. So now we know why it has taken so long to get to this vote as McCarthy needed all of this time to cherry pick and alter the facts. In Truth, McCarthy doesn't want to be speaker yet, he is waiting for Jim Jordan to shut the government down and then he will take the speaker job appearing as if to save our country. Pathetic.

  29. Disgusting! πŸ€‘πŸ’©

  30. My thoughts are send them all home with no pay until they can manage to do their job oh they should have to pay for their own travel

  31. jim jordan zero bills written very few cosposered

  32. on a positive note democrats cannot inflict more harm to the nation and innocents than they have already done

  33. Rather than Republicans suggesting Democrats help them to elect a speaker of the house or Democrats suggesting that Republicans cross the aisle and elect a member who will function in a power
    a sharing position, perhaps members can take it to a higher playing field and ask members to think beyond parties and to vote for a member that seeks American values and ideology over those others who seek to install an autocracy and to overthrow our American way of life. Let’s try that. Can we get a house speaker if we asked this question?

  34. Too much talk, not enough WORK!
    It's a JOB, not a SHOW!!

  35. Let it be known that the United States government is preparing for war on their own Homeland

  36. Donald J Trump is behind this for revenge!! He's been a CROOK and criminal his whole life.he thinks this will keep him out of jail! WRONG!!!
